    They are totally worth it. The cost is almost secondary to me, it's an excellent typing experience and it reduces reparative stress injury. I have a rosewill that is made from cher…

    It's an industry term for mechanical equipment that can heat AND cool. One piece of equipment replaces your AC AND heat source. Heat pumps in particular are getting a push from "gr…

    This is the thing I don't get, reddit is getting a heck of a free ride with all these mods. You'd think they would do everything within their power to enable them so why kick them …

    I can't believe they would do this AND kill off third party apps. I'm with you on not rewarding reddit, they have become very user hostile all the sudden. I was going to ban person…

    Excellent point. Even as a non developer we are automating things like deploying databases for a application and complete system backups. We pay for that app to be developed but it…

    Springbars with quick release are far easier to use and more compatible. I've always thought that the apple design adds a LOT of size to the watch head with the way they intrude in…
