Not sure if anyone can help me out with this. My oldest wants headphones for Christmas that go over the whole ear. My husband works for a company that I can get 30% off electronics right now. They have House of Marley and Dr. Dre Beats. Big difference in price, but according to some reviews the Marleys are just as good. Or should I just bag both and go with something else? I'm okay with spending more money, as long as I get my money's worth. Any help would be appreciated.
Not sure if anybody will have any insight into this, but there are some smart folks here who seemingly know things about everything. My mother in law got a notice from Social Security that they were going to stop paying her social security because she has had too much income to qualify for Social Security. She has no income so in investigating it turns out that she has been tied to my SSN for the past year, and I obviously make more money than zero. The only way that we can fathom how this possibly could have happened is that my husband filed our taxes on their computer a year or two ago through H&R Block online. That would be the only thing to tie the two of us (I have a different last name, first name, address, etc). Any thoughts on what happened and what would be the easiest and least mired in red tape way to fix it?
I'm going to post this in the tech help thread too, but hopefully someone can help. I have stupid friends who like to send out group texts that include me. Said assholes also like to send about 50 texts a day about shit I don't care about at 5am. Short of blocking their numbers (which I don't want to do) is there an app or a setting I don't know about to get rid of group texts? I have a Galaxy S4. Thanks.
This will not help the group text thing, but for the night time either put the phone on silent or put it in do not disturb and allow alarms and what ever phone numbers you want to come through.
I had to replace my headphones the other day, and the shop I went to only had the same old crap ones I had that just broke, or Marleys, which I had never heard of. I went with the Marleys (mine are ear buds), and they are seriously the best headphones I have ever used. I can't prasie them enough, and they were cheap too. Hope that helps.
I'm moving to the northeast next week (Maine, to be exact) and I'm going to need to buy a car. For reference I'm an Aussie who's just moved out to the US and landed a job. Given I come from a place where temperatures rarely drop below 50 degrees, buying a car that has been through (and will continue to go through) freezing weather is a mystery to me. I'm after something all-wheel drive to handle driving in ice and snow well (scares the fuck out of me) but not too big (because my road awareness is still not great yet). I'm thinking Subaru Foresters or similar. If there's anyone around Providence/Boston/Portland who knows of anything going, or knows someone at a dealership that might have something, that'd be awesome. Otherwise any tips for car care in snowy winters or what to look for in general would be great too. Thanks!
Subarus are great cars for that area of the country - my family owned various Subarus growing up, and I've owned two myself - and it's exactly what I'd recommend unless you know you need a truck or a large SUV for hauling or space, respectively. They tend to be a little pricey but the AWD is invaluable during all the terrible weather you're going to suffer through from, oh, about August through June. Any of them that suit your size needs will be good - the Impreza is a pretty nice smaller vehicle, while the Outback and Forester are both a little bigger. Don't forget that your tires have as much to do with traction as the AWD, though. A Subaru with a set of summer tires is still going to handle badly in the snow/ice - you could use that as something to negotiate into the purchase with the dealership. If you have the space, you could get a set of aggressive winter tires on some cheap steel rims that you just throw on at the beginning of the season. If you can't do that, just pick out an all season tire with a little more aggressive tread and use that all year.
I just started a new job and for the time being, I am using my personal laptop as my work computer. I've been working for many years on my own machine with my previous job but it was out of a home office. This new job has me in their office most days and then I work from home a bit as well. I'm not network savvy and have a question. I have LogMeIn Hamachi setup on my computer to log into the work server via VPN. Since I am on my personal computer, can all my web traffic be monitored, etc. I can easily turn on and off the VPN when I don't need to work on server files. I just don't know to what degree my computer is opened up when I am logged in to the work server. I'm still using my home internet connection. Is there any way to make my computer more secure or should I just beware anytime I'm connected to the work VPN.
I can't tell exactly from what you've described. The big question is, did they install any software on your computer or did they join your computer to a Windows domain? It's your own personal laptop, so are you just using the same old username/password that you personally created, or did they issue you a new one (or ask you to choose a password)? Hamachi is flexible in its configuration, so I would just operate under the assumption that, when connected to the VPN, your web surfing can be monitored. That may not be true. If they installed software on your machine or if you're domain-joined, it's possible that ALL of your web surfing can be monitored.
So, I'm about three weeks away from receiving my first master's in Economic Development (shut up, that's a thing). My coursework is all done, and I'm just farting around (hence my return to TIB). I'm curious about the job situation in the US, if any of you are connected to an ED office that's hiring, and if any of you have completed an MBA. My hunt for the next step is starting January 12th, and I'm ready to actually start an adult career and see the end to my twenties. If I can't find a position in the US worth crossing the globe for, I'll ride out Korea and get an MBA. If there's a decent position somewhere in the US, I'll pack my bags and be on my way. I just am not sure about how to start looking. Life coaching, anyone?
I have squirrels in my attic. I have the materials to plug up the gaps in the peaks where they're getting in, but I want to make sure they are all out before I do so. I don't want to end up with some dead critters up there whose rotting corpses make for nasty odors when the temps get to 125+ up there in the summer. Any suggestions on getting them out? Ive thought about deploying one of those bug bombs, but I don't know if they even sell those anymore, or if it would work.
I can tell you all the things that don't work: all the things you can buy that are supposed to work. The mothballs, the Squirrel B Gone, the no pest spray. And, if there's a mother nesting in there? She will chew through whatever you plug it with to get back in, and you'll be back in 2 weeks. I've been there - bitch chewed through aluminum gutters, steel hardware cloth, and the soffit. Two options: - Get in the attic with a Qbeam and pellet gun; kill them yourself. (But, make sure you can reach the dead.) - Go to the yellow pages / internet for local Pest Removal and pay them to get them out. Then plug everything up.
First off: YES I am a dumbass and I should have been more proactive about syncing and iclouding and whatever instead of letting my lack of familiarity with mac products make me not want to deal with it. This is what I get for buying my kid a device that I know jack shit about. My daughter set a new pin for her ipod touch and then forgot it and now we can't get into it. The support says to hook it to the computer where you last synced it. I literally have no recall if we ever synced it to one of our computers or laptops when we first got it. I can tell you that if we DID, we didn't sync it again after the first time and it is likely that if we DID sync when she first got it, it would have been to the laptop that we no longer have. So the next thing it says if you don't have access to the computer where you last synced it is to restore it -which involves erasing all the data. I know my daughter would be crushed to lose stuff - especially the pictures she took in California and from when she first got the kitten last year. I don't even care about the handful of itunes she's bought, or the apps or games or any of that shit - it is the pictures and videos that she took that matter. I've done some googling this afternoon and read ways to get rid of the pin (opening up some sort of file and deleting something), but I have no idea if they would work or what. Anyone have any experience with this?
If it's a four digit pin, you may just want to try a brute force hack, rather than lose the data. If it's more than that, well, that could take a while. I imagine the Apple store should be able to help you, if you have some way of proving it's yours. Maybe once they get it unlocked, the pictures are of you? I dunno.
I would try the Apple store route, brute force method is still 10,000 possible choices for 4. 100,000 for 5, 1,000,000 for 6... etc.
Logic question: When I orginally answered this, I read it as "doctors" being a set & element of the set "men", and "tall" being an element in the set "doctors". So I answered yes, but now I'm not so sure. If I'm wrong, what's the correct way to conceptualize this?
No, it doesn't follow, because there is no guarantee of the overlap between groups. If some men are doctors, and all doctors are tall, then it follows that some men are tall. But here, what if all the tall doctors are women? Some A are B, and some B are C, tells you nothing definitive about the relationship between A and C.
My problem is, I can no longer connect to the interent with my tablet and desktop, only with my laptop. The desktop is connected with an ethernet cable running from the modem/router. Tablet and Laptop both connect wireless. One problem may be, I was downloading torrents with my tablet and desktop last night, woke up this afternoon and neither will connect. I cannot even access the modem/router with these devices, however the laptop can. When I try to connect with my Tablet, I open up the wireless connections and it shows my home network with full strength. When I try to connect,it keeps trying to obtain the ip address and then I watch the signal strength drop to one bar, and it says it can't connect. As soon as I connect to my hotspot from my phone, the signal strength from the home network shows full strength again. This is frustrating because my laptop connects just fin to the home network. I do pretty well with tech stuff, but I cannot find any answers to this. I've reset everything, even tried changing my mac address on the tablet to see if that would help. I cannot even go through a second router to access the internet. Can an ISP (centurylink) block a specifc device from connecting? If so, how, and what can I do to undo that? I've never had a problem with torrents before, although I don't do it too much. My desktop is an HP running Windows 7. My Tablet is an Asus Transformer TF101 running Android ICS Modem is ZyXEL PK5001z I am positively stumped. Thanks for the help, and let me know if you have any other questions.
I took the ipod to the Apple store and they said there was nothing they could do, even though I made it clear that all I wanted was the photos and videos on the ipod and didn't care if the itunes or apps were deleted during recovery and I even had proof of purchase. I never synced it when we bought it, so I'm SOL unless I can find some sort of shady way of getting the pics and then doing the recovery. I tried one solution that was from 2009 and I guess they must have changed stuff since then to make it not work - it was to hook it up and when it detects "camera device" to get the pics that way. It didn't work and I tried it on several computers. I've seen some photo recovery software that people recommend, but I am fearful of it being a scam: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.wondershare.net/ad/dr-fone/?gclid=COTXsZz2g7wCFWRk7AodGEYAvQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.wondershare.net/ad/dr-fone/? ... 7AodGEYAvQ</a> <a class="postlink" href="http://www.digidna.net/diskaid/features/iphone-photos-transfer" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.digidna.net/diskaid/features ... s-transfer</a> <a class="postlink" href="http://www.video-converter-mac.org/iphone-data-recovery/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.video-converter-mac.org/ipho ... -recovery/</a> Hell, I would even consider paying for someone to get the photos/videos if I thought it would actually work. PS - my daughter claims she finally remembered the pin, fat lot of good that does now.
