Re: How to avoid search engine targeting adverts

Thanks for that link. I recognize that site and had forgotten about. Mulvad looks to be more secure than Brave which is interesting because I recently downloaded it but haven't installed it yet. Hadn't head of LibreWolf. Will investigate. I am liking Waterfox a lot. I've used it on and off but came ...

Re: How to avoid search engine targeting adverts

I love old paper maps and historical aerial images. I have the USGS topo maps for our area which, unlike most of Dallas, is geographically interesting. We live on an escarpment. One day I found an old 1930s aerial of our area and discovered a buried bit of North Texas and Natural Gas/Energy history....

Re: Finally: A Replacement for the Fluke 8050?

I just got one of the daily emails from Elektor which featured an ad for Siglent multimeters. I decided to look at the lowest price one, $369 US. The two key features I homed in on were wide AC bandwidth and dB/dBm display. The Siglent SDM3045X has both. It also offers a relative function an often-...
