Last post by Skhilled - Apr 12, 2025, 06:55 PM
The Austrian-based privacy group noyb has filed a lawsuit against Sweden's Tax Agency, accusing it of illegally selling citizens' personal information to data brokers, a practice it says violates both national and EU data protection laws.

This looks interesting. It's a privacy based keyboard with addons...but it's still in alpha. They have other products as well.

But the more that I think about it, I probably wouldn't be using more than one device with it. It would more to just be able to to have cable that I I can use with any device. So, would 15 watts for one device be good enough?

Ha! I didn't even think to look at it like that! Actually, it's been a long time since I've even looked at things that way! LOL Thanks!

I'd save your money; it is 3 amps at 5 volts that is 15 watts of charging max.
If you divide that by the 3 devices it is 5 watts each, it will be a slow charge. The max you can get out of one device is 15 watts.

If you want to do the calulation, for DC it is:

Watts
W = A x V

Amps
A = W / V

Have you ever wondered what's the first thing you should do if you hear your SSN was exposed online?If not, here are 5 steps that will help protect your identity and finances in this worst-case scenario.

1. Check if your SSN has been used to apply for social benefits in your name by creating a 'mySocialSecurity' account on the Social Security Administration's website:

https://www.ssa.gov/onlineservices/

2. Check your financial accounts to look for signs of suspicious activity.

3. Do a free credit report check every four months.

4. If you notice suspicious activity, prevent further financial fraud by temporarily freezing your credits and financial accounts.

5. Avoid legal issues by reporting fraudulent activities to law enforcement, credit reporting agencies, and the IRS.

6. Above all, think before clicking a link!  8)

SMF 2.1 / Re: Why SMF?

I started my first forum back in the early 2000s using phpBB, then eventually I moved to SMF and haven't looked back. The guys and gals on the SMF site are very helpful, even Kindred ;) and they'll help you as much as they can.

What does amaze me sometimes is the way some people asking for help give so little info as to the whole issue they're having and expect the members there to know what they're talking about
