    LG's firmwares are pretty bad in my experience. I have two LG monitors and they both have weird quirks. On the first one (a 34" ultrawide), all of its inputs lose connection for a …

    Holy hell this drove me crazy the other day. Firefox wouldn't work, but my backup, Chrome, did. But a fresh Firefox profile also worked. So I figured I must've left a bad user-agen…

    Most box fans will struggle with a single filter right up against them. The blade design on a typical box fan is designed for velocity, not pressure. Also, I don't know the physics…
