Question why do they keep bringing out new cards

The new cards are lower-specced, and use smaller chips. You can fit more small chips per silicon wafer, and get higher yields. Thus, for each 3090/3080 chip, they could make ~1.6x 3070/3060ti chips, or ~2.3x 3060 chips. If there's a bottleneck in chip production, more SKUs actually can...

insufficient storage available for Android device

Possibly a full cache partition. If you have a custom bootloader installed, clear the cache and Dalvik cache.

[TheReg] Apple requests Passport, DL, Bank Statements, in order to purchase?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that these are international orders from former Soviet Bloc countries of questionable reputation. The kinds of places where one could conceivably make a reasonable case for holding the purchaser's firstborn in escrow. I'm not going to give Apple too...

Gah, someone recommend me a microUSB cable that doesn't break!

Expensive? They're all of, what, $2 a piece? Buy a dozen, then use them until you kill them all. You should be good until 2015, at least.

Why are phones up to now limited to 30fps 1080p recording?

Small, crappy image sensors. Small, crappy optics. Good-enough encoding DSPs. Shoddy drivers across the board. Mostly the first two, though.

Ipod or Alternatives for Playing Tracks Along with Live Musicians?

I'd consider the iPod way too small to be used like this; trying to hit teeny-tiny touch targets when you're tired and trying to keep the set's momentum (yikes, alliteration...) is an exercise in frustration. An iPad 2 or Mini might be less of a hassle. The wealth of mixing and DJ apps means...

Oh noes, my ipad!

...And that's where you went wrong. Now you need to do a DFU restore. Look here, or google "dfu recovery"; the first 20 hits or so will tell you how to do it.

What to do when GPS won't work?!?

Sometimes, when Google has updated the Google Maps app, GPS on various OS versions has refused to work until I've unchecked ALL of the GPS settings and re-enabled them. Leave the main "Location services"/"Access to my location"/GPS setting enabled, and uncheck everything below it; then check...

Home Theater Dilemma

Does your TV support HDMI 1.4 ARC? If so, you should be able to connect the components directly to one of the TV's inputs through the HDMI switch, and use the ARC functionality to pass the audio back to the receiver over the other HDMI port. Also, Harmony.

Consumer Reports, you so crazay!

Jesus, are BusinessInsider's editorial staff are complete hacks. "Oh noes, this 6-square-inch crop of a summary chart in next month's CR only rates the i5 in the top 3! It's 1-2 whole points behind the other flagship products! Apple is in teh toilet!" Hyperbolic click-bait crap. No...

Is something wrong with my iPad2? slow

Sounds more like wifi issues to me. I've seen a couple instances where iDevices -- or any given device -- just really didn't like a given wifi router configuration, and you ended up with slow web page access, etcetera. Try adjusting wifi settings; specifically, change the channel preference...

Why Don't LTE Phones Support All Bands?

Radios are difficult. So are antennas. You can fake proper tuning to a certain degree with software defined radios, but that comes at the expense of efficiency, and thus power consumption. If someone can figure out a way to wedge radios, power amplifiers, and antennas for all ~38 LTE bands --...

Nexus 7 or Retina iPad for travel in Latin America.
