Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Hah, never heard of Clovis points. But I was anxiously awaiting the Apple event. And not sure now what I want to do...my current laptop is five years old. It's definitely getting up there. But do I want any of the new ones? Especially since they're more expensive than I anticipated? Do I get one of the older ones now that they're going to be on sale, or will it seem old too quick? ...I mean, now I have no need for Thunderbolt ports and DO need USB ones...but four years from now? I see no need for some weird toolbar at the top of the keyboard. But it does have more ports/is faster, also?
(This laptop DOES have a CD/DVD drive. I don't think I've used it in a couple years?)
Yeah, this is the point where I think I'll try to get a model that's a year (or even 2) old, because I still don't need Thunderbolt ports but I do need USB ports.
Well, they're both Thunderbolt ports AND USB ports (it's a dessert topping, and a floor wax!), but you still need all kinds of cables and dongles to get it to all work with your old USB peripherals.
I'm gonna stick to my present set-up for a couple more years, at least until the USB 3.1 infrastructure is built out a little more.
Well yeah--the Thunderbolt/USB-C ports are only useful to me if I can stick my current USB things in there. Which my understanding is, I can't. But like I said, four years from now, will I only be able to find USB-C stuff, and not have any of those ports?
Which my understanding is, I can't.

Six pairs of earphones in the past 15 months. Sigh.
Seven pairs of earphones in the past 17 months. Cheap Radio Shack phones this time. I just can't be bothered to take my damn iPhone out of my pocket every fucking time I sit down.
Did you get the Radio Shack warranty? It would be especially worth it for you, apparently.
I need to, for reasons, permanently block a game url from my system. Like, forever. All browsers.
google tells me to use terminal, which scares me a lot.
I've been using Self Control, but it is not permanent enough.
Any suggestions?
Or positive experiences?
My home desktop now has 32GB of RAM. It's nice to have plenty of memory.

I can't recall if you ruled out Bluetooth headphones?
