I just imagine some grizzled programmer somewhere, smoking one final cigarette before loading a shotgun and turning to walk away from camera. "I can never escape backslashes."

You'll want to search online for a USB hub and find one in your price range with the features you want. I use Newegg for that sort of thing, and I like the Orico brand for it. I don't have a specific recommendation because I don't think there is much benefit from one to another.

I will also say that most wireless peripherals are USB 2.0 speeds, so a 3.0 hub would not provide much benefit to them. That said, having more bus speed available should allow for more devices on the hub without throttling each other.

The thing I find more important is an external power source if you're connecting many devices. I run my mouse, keyboard, webcam, microphone, Bluetooth adapter, controller dongle, and streamdeck all through a hub mounted under the desk.

Usually age has the opposite effect, but I hear they make pills for that.

Nice try, but I have more than that now and don't want to go down to either.

I use metallic permanent markers. They apply a nice, thick coating so that the light still works but is severely diminished. It also can be done to some devices without opening them if they don't have the light recessed too far.

But then how will they upcharge you for additional storage or push you to their monthly cloud storage solution?

True, but I do get irrationally mad if someone else wants to show me something and there are several ads before it.

Mate, I've had users who were sharing an account that only some of them had MFA prompts for. They didn't bother checking who had initiated the prompt, they just approved it because it was easier. And that was while they were fully awake and thinking...

To set a scene, you awake in the middle of the night because your phone is making noise. Blearily you unlock it, glance at a prompt, and then approve a login and fall back asleep. The intruder now has access to your password manager!

They attempt to log into your bank and drain your life savings, but despite having your password it sends another prompt to your phone. This time, you wake up enough to realize something is wrong. This time, you deny the prompt.

The entire second paragraph cannot happen if your MFA is a single factor. Don't store MFA in your password manager!

Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.

With the release of Tapo version 3.0, TP-Link integrates their two lines of smart home devices into a single application, reducing the number of apps needed to control their devices.

Additionally, the update claims improvements to the user interface, optimized camera features, a sleeker status page, and faster responses and startups.

The blow post also suggest that improvements to lighting effects, smart actions, geofencing, and a dark mode will be coming in the future.

I think the best takeaway is that I can have one less app on my phone!
