Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Hey. New board.

My G4 doesn't have huge storage but it does let you put in an SD Card and "adopt it" as native storage if it's fast enough. I stuck a $15 32GB card in and it works. Not all apps will run off the SD catd but music and pics and stuff store there, and many apps run from it fine. Definitely not as seamless as just getting a 64GB phone but for less than $200 I can't be too picky.

I think they do make a 32GB version of the phone.

Tommyrot--The Post's app was shitty until about a year ago, and is now a pleasant user experience worth the download.

Plex problem. I can't connect to the internet at large, so I can't access my library from work (or anywhere away from home). The first few weeks, no problem. But now? Nada. I thought it might be a double router issue, so I patched the media center computer directly into the FiOS router (rather than my old airport extreme). No luck. So today I noticed something weird. I was downloading an ahem file (DVR deleted S2e1 of Supergirl), and it said "use a VPN, your location is Canada". Um. What? So I look at my Plex status, and copy the IP address to the internet, and search for it on google, and sure enough, it says I'm in Canada. Curious. Um. No. California. Just a leeetle bit different.

So? Given that I'm not using a VPN, and not in Canada. What would cause my ip address to think I'm in Canada??

I don't want to spend $100 to renew my Kaspersky anti-virus. What is the best free or relatively cheep anti-virus program, by Buffista standards?

I've been using free Avast, but I'd be curious to know if there's anything better.

There's always Microsoft Security Essentials. It's very unobtrusive.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I use MSE, too, and like it. The only thing is that I'm not sure if they still call it that. It might be Windows Defender now.

I've been using Sophos, pretty happy with it.

Looks like MSE is available for Windows 7. Windows Defender (the same thing for the most part) is included with Windows 8 and 10.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I use the Windows Defender that came with Win10, but I also use Malwarebytes.
