I wouldn't consider this a downgrade. The Intel WiFi chips are still better and the 7 ones STILL are not compatible with AMD systems! #TechNews #TechThoughts #TechTip #ProfTips

free way to get your 1 year of security updates

So 1000 points for 1 year updates for Win10

right now 500 points for installing the bing app on your phone and 500 points for using the Outlook app for PC

Microsoft’s extra year of free Windows 10 security updates feels like a last-minute snooze button — while groups like "The Restart Project" still want to help users

Something I've not seen any MFG do is a long reach flush cutter (or nearly)

Looks like Pro America Tools does it again! I snagged one for each one of my kits! (expect a video)

I find the tiny SSD super interesting and infinitely useful! It's also reasonably priced for being as unique as it is...

I don't not understand what this is trying to do much less the explanation or the name of the software.

Just use @bitsumtech #ProcessLasso who recently had a great sale going on.

Every now and then I check and it's back in stock.

Additionally I've had my eye on the serrated chain nose long reach to pull/fish zip ties but it's been out of stock even directly from the MFG.

Finally in stock!
