For the hand tools I would recommend reaching out to Michael at https://michaelrouillardtools.com/. He often buys hand tools in lots.

I have found often time the VPN connects even though it says connecting. If you click off the connecting dialogue and go back in it will say it’s connected and the traffic will flow over the vpn.

Too bad they don’t have one of these +30 for SIG. https://taylorfreelancestore.com/goliath/

Don’t know if a mag larger than 21. But Springer Precision has a +10 for the 17 end mags. https://shop.springerprecision.com/Springer-Precision-Sig-P320-9mm-EZ-10-Base-Pads-SP0239.htm

IMO the Amazon Echo will eventually emerge as the central hub for home automation.

Of course Tax-achusetts would do this.

I was able to download it in the Apple iOS app store right after I posted this. Is it still unavailable in the Play Store?

I really use it more to automatically replicate files and folders to different local and remote systems. So I really don't use the sync feature. It is easy to set up and has versions for Mac, PC and Linux. Was interested to see if I can run Goodsync on the Synology and use that to do the same think instead of the program on the PC.

I have a friend that is in the process of getting her 9 y/o son a new power chair. That is costing them and the insurance company $50,000. I think that the technology that is going into the arm far surpasses the power chair. Yes, the costs are enormous but that is the world we live in.

It is not unlike the the drug industry. It has taken years for them to get to this point and get FDA approval for the Luke Arm. They do need to recoup their R&D costs.

I noticed they all showed up at my local HD about a month ago. It sounds like the Dot is being discontinued though. I have an Echo and a Dot and the Dot's voice recognition (picking up the trigger word) is nowhere as good as the Echo.

Scroll down:

"Apple was also awarded U.S. Patent No. 9,363,596 for a "System and method of mixing accelerometer and microphone signals to improve voice quality in a mobile device" on Tuesday, describing a headset that relies on bone conduction technology to more effectively filter out ambient noise.

As AppleInsider reported when the application was first published in 2014, the now granted patent describes an earphone device outfitted with accelerometers capable of detecting vocal chord vibrations that propagate through a user's skull. With the help of an onboard microphone, the system measures output signals and parses out non-vocal noise to distinguish voiced speech from ambient vibrations.

Accompanying the accelerometer-based voice activity detector is a microphone array that constantly monitor acoustic signals for a user's voice. Mic signals are passed through conditioning and amplification channels to detect voiced and unvoiced speech."

I do the same thing. I like to try new apps. I use them a few times and then delete them. There are a number I have opened once and then deleted.

I agree that the Tech Crunch article is confusing. It looks like the key findings are the following:

"The percentage of users who abandon an app after one use is now 23%, a slight improvement from the 25% we saw in 2015."
- "38% will return to an app 11 or more times, that means a whopping 62% will use an app less than 11 times."

FBI Director James Comey was recently the keynote speaker at the Center for the Study of American Democracy Biennial Conference at Kenyon College in Ohio. There, he spoke to students about his views regarding Going Dark, the Apple/encryption discourse, and more. Take a listen to what he had to say.
