    You got me curious as to which states require ID to pick up prescription narcotics as I've never heard of this living in Illinois and Colorado. Turns out each state has its own set…

    Where in Boulder are you finding needles? I'm yet to see one after ~4 years here, but I've mostly stuck around CU campus and Pearl and the surrounding areas. Plenty of discarded va…

    Yup, got burned by this. I had a POCO X3 (4G LTE but no VoLTE) which I'd still be using today had AT&T not labeled it as a 3G phone. Even just attempting to use it with my SIM card…

    I also had this issue. You can easily solve the problem by disabling the Windows update service in Services.msc.

    >USB-based jailbreaks What kind of new-fangled hack is that? Here in Switch-land we just use a bit of tinfoil for our piracy needs.

    Outside of being great for cross-platform messaging, it's awesome for transferring files. Quick, no restrictions on file extensions, and I've yet to hit a size limit. Great for bui…

    Agreed on all but remote start. Maybe it's different on fancier vehicles (I have a '13 Mustang), but it's usually just a radio that starts the engine and nothing more. Hardly a sec…
