Similar to the garage doors, you can free your Google Nest thermostat

This year, Google, for example, discontinued support for its first- and second-generation Nest, a thermostat that automatically sets the temperature based on a user’s schedule. An ambitious coder who published open-source software for users to get the defunct thermostats working again was rewarded w...

Re: Why You Need a Pocket Router and How To Use One for Travel

Just don't take it on certain cruise lines. They're cracking down on that lately. They want you paying per device.

Re: Florida’s Plan to KILL Property Taxes is a LIE!

Well, honestly I'd be fine with removing the property tax for primary residences or bumping up the homestead exception. There's another video where they discuss just how wasteful the counties are, with our tax money. In the South, the big 3 have these pet projects and other nonsense that should NOT ...

Florida’s Plan to KILL Property Taxes is a LIE!

Florida politicians say they’re trying to eliminate property taxes, but they’ve introduced 13 different bills, and none of them actually get the job done. This isn’t tax relief. It’s a trap. And I’ll show you how they’re setting it up to fail on purpose. I’ll also break down why Ron DeSantis brough...

Once you apply this fix, you will be able to pause Windows updates for a maximum of 10...

Re: Yep, Task Manager in Windows 11 is screwed, confirms Microsoft

My main is Win 25H2 but I had stripped out all of the garbage. Might have something to do with it, as I've not been able to recreate that problem. I also always set updates to be delayed.

Windows 11 w/no telemetry, no TPM, no bloat, no MS account

I just tried this, as I'm building a new gaming rig and it works fine. The Windows install was unattended and when done, my account was created and it just sat there at the desktop.

Basically explains how to use Chris Titus' utility to make a custom ISO.
