Sorry I came back to this late After I tried looking around more, I then thought to call the company that made the chair to see if they had ideas for a cover Turns out I should have read the chair warranty better Was told the chair has a 7 year warranty from date of purchase including sending...

Two years ago I bought a gaming chair that is still roughly 95% working, just some parts of the seat and armrests the leather is wearing off. I have thought about replacing it though buying a whole new chair just due to worn leather seemed a bit annoying and wasteful. Then I noticed chair...

Was asked today to get a printer for someone 3 days from now. Must be easy to change cartridges and use for them to do themselves. 1. What is your printer budget? What is your country of origin? USA, they said they expect to spend $300 but I am not sure if that cost is right given their needs...

When it comes to the home router, is there anything I should do in the router software to erase the device ID of the old device? I disagree. Once I transfer all I need from one computer to another, I wipe all the data including personal stuff this way so there is less to no chance of theft...

First time getting something like this, other lighting methods do not work. Just looking for under $40, maybe $50 option for recording, not sure about streaming right now but who knows someday. I read up on several sites learning some things. Based on a couple recommended for 2021 articles, I...

I was aiming for $20 like I usually can afford but might go up to $40. Cannot fit those better models in. Usually I use them for Gaming though I plan to also do Recording both Gaming and Non-Gaming content. Last one I got was H5GX I think by Etekcity, did OK for several years but now the...
