My local TV station has THIS TIPS, so you don't get scammed.

First was the high doors, tinny windows. Is family car, not a tank! Then the Aggressive look, even on econoboxes, obvious over-compensation. Now even Japanese are doing Big Grills, paint them gold will ya, why stop there?

I have optical drives consistently dying on me after 3 years. HP, LG, Pioneer, don't matter, and I don't use them heavily either, seem very unreliable. Your experiences? and if u have a home remedy, please share.

So this old foggie just recently found out modern cars have all these sensors blah-blah and I can hook up an OBD reader and find out all kind of things from my car, EXCEPT the readouts I've seen, the data given is cryptic, intended for the car mechanic with manuals to decipher what those numbers...

Anybody know a Windows App/script that will load an HTTPS (secured webpage) into a text file? Kinda what the browser does to View Source but I need to automate this. TIA

In the olden days, I can spot a Mercedes, a BMW, a block away, they had distinctive stylings. These days, unless I get close to read the badge, they can be another Japanese. I have a theory automakers these days have to mold the bodies for good aerodynamic in order to achieve mandated fuel...

All of them are 12V and the couple of 120 they want too much$.

So I understand modern cars have these diagnostic port, u plug in a gadget, BAM! tells you what's going on. Question#1: Is this standard for all cars/brands, I mean is, one tool suffice for my Honda as well as my Mercedes? Question#2: For street-Joe, knows enough cars to be dangerous, how...

Been away from photography for a decade but for my landscape I always wished I can get rid of my Cokin filters. WHY CAN'T I SIMULATE THIS WITH SOFTWARE I asked. So can I, today?

Guys, just need the CHEAPEST GPU to play 4k videos, no gaming, no giga-gazillion frames refresh necessary, ideally in a half-height card, and don't need massive cooling. Suggestions?

Wanna quieten my 2010 Civic Coupe, the dang thing clocks in at 80 db @55mph. Doesn't have to be dynamat, any modern affordable but effective insulation will do. Anybody done this lately and cost? (U.S. don't want to D.I.Y. will take me forever)

If Modern plastic headlights yellow because of UV, how come the taillights don't yellow? they are plastics too! don't tell me UV only hits you from the front!

Spent hours on the web and and only found one of them super-busy, super complicated game kbd, or an vintage, big and heavy. Simple, modern, small, no keypad needed, only that it's backlit and has one or more USB port for mouse. Shoot me a link if seen one. TIA

In a system where.... Smartphone ------- (bluetooth A2DP) ------> BT Receiver ----> Amp. Where does the D to A occur? Smartphone or BT Receiver?

For those of you keeping up with this stuff... Am guessing most of us are using a second/third HD to backup our stuff (or a network share or NAS) because todays files are so huge and writing these things to tapes (traditional method) would be prohibitively slow, and HD storage is relatively...

What is the logic behind left-shifted Touchpads? Anandtech has a thread on it but everybody is guessing.

This is not going to happen but I wish the forum weed out the DRIVE-BY posters, like 24 hr wait period between sign up and post, the folks (mostly kids) who go into the trouble of signing up, post their BRAIN DUMP, because they MUST express whatever is between their ears, incoherently, not...

I mean electric motor much simpler, no need for motor cooling, no oil to leak, no emission control.

So I have this Kingston KHX1600C9S3K2/4GX, 2 x 2G = 4 G total. Doc says: "Each module pair has been tested to run at DDR3-1600MHz at a low latency timing of 9-9-9-27 at 1.5V" Then immediately follow with: "The SPDs are pro- grammed to JEDEC standard latency DDR3-1333MHz timing of 9-9-9 at...

Am building a passive cooled box and can use a SSD with built-in heatsink like some RAM modules. Exists? If not I guess it won't kill me to attach my own heatsinks but built-in would be nice. TIA

So lately vendors have taken themselves the task of making the power LED blinks when the board goes to sleep, instead of, just another color LED (more civilized) as they used to. Some vendors just turn off the LED altogether. Has anybody found a fix, either via software or hardware of this? I...

Seems to me, the Intel CPU labelled as low powered are just identical version of the regular CPU BUT with their max running frequency capped. If I don't push my box often and am mostly running near idle speed, seems like a low power cpu doesn't do me any good as far as electricity saving or...
