Choose to break a friendship with someone on Facebook and the other user won’t receive any kind of notification to this effect.

Transferring ringtones via Bluetooth is technically possible on an iPhone though arguably not worth the effort. As long as you have the relevant song, you can simply create the ringtone yourself; alternatively you may be able to buy the ringtone from the iTunes store. If you do decide to make the transfer you will need to jailbreak your phone and install third-party software that isn’t authorized by Apple. This is legal but technically unwieldy and could increase security risks....

Developed by the DVD Copy Control Association, CSS, or the Content-Scramble System, is a digital rights management tool used for encrypting DVDs to prevent piracy.

Wi-Fi access points and Wi-Fi range extenders, or repeaters, are both wireless networking hardware solutions that perform specific tasks within a network. Wi-Fi access points create the original wireless network signal whereas range extenders receive and re-transmit that signal to other devices to increase the reach distance of the network. Some Wi-Fi access points can be configured to work as range extenders, but range extenders can’t be configured to work as access points....

Compatibility Devices fitted for SanDisk’s SDHC Ultra cards are backwards compatible with standard SD cards, though the inverse isn’t true....

The high cost of buying new ink for printers encourages some users to use refill cartridges as an alternative. Some buy their own ink refill kits, while others use third-party suppliers who fill cartridges for them. This may be a cheaper solution than buying new cartridges, but it comes with a few potential disadvantages....

The simple answer to the question of whether iPads have USB drives or ports is “no.” However, as with most technological questions, there is more to the answer than that. A USB drive is an external device that uses a USB port to plug into a computer. A USB port is the actual port on your computer where you can plug in external equipment, such as a USB “thumb” drive or other hardware....

Updated February 09, 2017 Look at the outside of your disk drive. If it supports LightScribe, it should have the LightScribe logo on the front of it. Look for a sticker with the LightScribe logo elsewhere on your computer. If your disc drive is exceptionally slim, the logo may not be located on the drive itself, as there isn’t enough space for it. Therefore, the sticker may be located somewhere else on your computer....
You can block an IP address from an individual computer very easily by configuring the computer’s Hosts file. However, blocking an IP address in a home network, where there are multiple computers accessing the Internet, requires different tactics. In a home network, all computers on that network access the Internet through a central point: the router. To block an IP address across the entire network involves configuring your router. Most routers have a firewall that is easily managed....
Standard DVD players connect to a television via the television’s composite audio and video ports. If your television has two sets of composite AV ports, you can connect two DVD players to the television at the same time without any extra hardware. If your television does not have more than one set of composite AV ports, you will need a composite AV switch box to connect more than one DVD player....
If someone is linked to your computer, it means that the two machines are on the same local area network. Typically this is done with the intention of sharing files between computers. However, it is possible to set up a local area network at the same time you’re setting up a shared Internet connection and not even realize it. In the event that this occurs, you can find out if someone else is linked to your computer by opening a very specific folder....
