    Should you buy a variable gain amplifier?

    It doesn't but it does? Amps are all about strength, but GIGO still applies.

    Can you hook a Gemini Air up to an AV receiver or soundbar?

    I reject the assertion that the Gemini Air is becoming a hit with "regular folks" (those that don't subscribe to DIRECTV STREAM/via Internet). This is especially true at the price point that Solid Signal offers it ($199.00). For that kind of money, you could surely buy several more capable...

    Can commercial DIRECTV customers use the regular DIRECTV app to stream video?

    Another leading title with an unconditional "no" answer. Who benefits from even the hint of hope?

    Is the term “home theater” obsolete?

    As long as three or more people can come together to watch something on the same screen, there will be some level of home theater.

    Gas Price Info With National Gas Temperature Map

    Redwood City (not a cheap place to live in the South Bay) is $4.739. You're getting pretty well bent over. I would imagine that Santa Rosa is colluding with Rohnert Park or vice versa. I had no idea that Costco would put two stores so close together -- especially two stores with gas stations.

    YouTube Demonetized My Channel for Invalid Traffic - Your Help Needed

    I'm not convinced that it should drop the viewership at all. The accusation equates to a YouTuber initiating their own views as opposed to the visits of others. As long as the directv YouTube link remains, a view through here would seem legitimate.

    That's a tough one given the exceptions that Congress cooked into the defintion of "unsolicited". You might check with the national party HQ to see if there isn't some way to get off their list of pigeons.

    Our definitions of spam are probably different. If it is coming from Amazon, it isn't spam -- just e-mail that you don't want to read. Amazon allows you to select what they send at some level and you may simply need to update that selection. When I say spam, I'm thinking of truly unsolicited...

    Then you either need a new e-mail address or a mail service that cleans out all the garbage and provides you with an exception list. Network Solutions may be talking the big talk but any self-respecting monitoring service should be trapping most of that spam.

    Not only does the code exist but as they discover workarounds, they are "addressing" (disabling) them. The early solution was to scan for the executable file of the utility by file name but now they're going deeper. Flexibility will not be tolerated until two or major releases down the road...

    My big concern with e-mail is that mess that is Outlook (or, as I prefer, Outluck) for those that are under Microsoft's Office curse. Webmail probably isn't as immune from attack as one might hope. E-mail remains a fairly big attack surface no matter how you do it. Unless your e-mail is being...
