If Internet videos are any indication, changing those things means taking your life in your hands.Bought a new battery for my iPhone 6, changed it out, and everything is working great. I didn't break anything while trying to fix a bad battery issue.
If your're careful, as in basic precautions, and run the battery down like the instructions say.If Internet videos are any indication, changing those things means taking your life in your hands.
Well, if you're not careful, I guess.

YOU know that, I know that. But lots of youtubers get to learn that for the very first time. And they don’t look happy about it.If your're careful, as in basic precautions, and run the battery down like the instructions say.
That's what we had been doing, apparently the jack in the living room either isn't connected to the jacks in the bedrooms and kitchen, or there's a fault somewhere. My guess is actually the latter - there are just too many gremlins, all of them related to wiring, for it to be a coincidence. We have:Have you tried plugging the phone line from the modem into one of the wall phone jacks, and checking the other phone jacks in the house? I know that in my apartment that was how we got the phones to work.
Don't. Just get KeePass and throw the file on Google Drive. Completely free, and no risk of "the company" being able to get at your credentials. And there's some good Android apps for it too (Keepass2Android is what I use).I'm finally getting my shit together vis a vis passwords, and getting set up on lastpass, so that all my passwords everywhere but there will now be 20 digit long alphasymbonumeric garbledygook. Feels good, man.
A little bit of a hassle that the automatic password changing feature is stymied by all the sites I have 2FA turned on for
Lastpass is free, too, though I'm not particularly worried about "the company."Don't. Just get KeePass and throw the file on Google Drive.

That's... quite a leap.ordered an iPhone Xs last night. Moving up from a 6.
(Summary shamelessly stolen from Slashdot)In the past, Wi-Fi versions were identified by a letter or a pair of letters that referred to a wireless standard. The current version is 802.11ac, but before that, we had 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11a, and 802.11b. It was not comprehensible, so the Wi-Fi Alliance -- the group that stewards the implementation of Wi-Fi -- is changing it. All of those convoluted codenames are being changed.
Now, instead of wondering whether "ac" is better than "n" or if the two versions even work together, you'll just look at the number. Wi-Fi 5 is higher than Wi-Fi 4, so obviously it's better. And since Wi-Fi networks have always worked together, it's somewhat clearer that Wi-Fi 5 devices should be able to connect with Wi-Fi 4 devices, too.
Now that the retroactive renaming is done, it's time for the future. If you've been closely following router developments over the past year (no judgments here), you'll know that the next generation of Wi-Fi is on the horizon, with the promise of faster speeds and better performance when handling a multitude of devices. It was supposed to be called 802.11ax, but now it'll go by a simpler name: Wi-Fi 6. The Wi-Fi Alliance says that it expects companies to adopt this numerical advertising in place of the classic lettered versions.
Is it still going to be guessing game about which devices support 5Ghz and which ones don't?A victory for simplicity for all: Wi-Fi now has version numbers, and Wi-Fi 6 comes out next year

To me: f'n finally. And I like how the article mentions that devices may display that too, which is nice.
Not really.Is it still going to be guessing game about which devices support 5Ghz and which ones don't?
You might be misunderstanding my complaint. Some 802.11n devices only had 2.4Ghz, and it was a pain in the ass to figure out which laptops and phones that had 802.11n actually had 5Ghz antennas to support the faster version of n. (So it's n that's the weird one, to me.) I had not realized that ac required 5Ghz and my woes are already a thing of the past for the latest wireless standards. I clearly do not keep up with tech like I used to.Not really.
802.11b/g only support 2.4, 802.11n supports both, and 802.11ac (and presumably later) only support 5.
It's 802.11a that's all weird.
People ask me, "Why are you always looking at so many tech websites all the time?"I clearly do not keep up with tech like I used to.
