The Silk Magnetic Cable Wrangler is attracted to your charging cables

NEWS – I just can’t help myself. I’m drawn to cable organizers like the Cable Wrangler (see what I did there?) by Silk, a company based in Austin, TX. Silk describes themselves as a “jaunty, down-to-earth, and highly-caffeinated group of folks that, since 2009, have taken our products seriously, but ourselves … not so much” (Silk website).

The Cable Wrangler is a simple device that measures 3.24″ x 3.24″ or 82 mm x 82 mm and uses magnets to keep your charging cables organized on your desk or nightstand. It works with all cables and if the cable is not “attractive enough, use included magnetic collars to boost its Tinder rating” (Silk). It has a “hefty grip that won’t slip” (perhaps a silicone base) and comes with a lifetime warranty – “No commitment issues here” (Silk). These guys are funny! The Silk Magnetic Cable Wrangler – which includes three magnetic collars – comes in two colors, No. 2 Pencil Gray and Lightly Toasted Beige, and is available from Amazon for $19.99.

Such files include memory hogs, junk files, and other unwanted or temporary cache files, and while your iPhone or iPad can have their caches cleared automatically by the system, you can still do… Read more

How to Change Network Priority in Windows

If you have both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, you might have noticed that Windows automatically switches to Ethernet when connected. This happens because of the automatic network priority that Windows assigns to all its network adapters. Generally, this is good. However, if want to force a particular network over the other, then you are forced to disable the other network adapter. For instance, when there is a problem with the broadband connection, I try to use mobile data via USB tethering. However, most of the time Windows refuses to use the new connection due to its lower priority when compared to the regular desktop Ethernet adapter…. Read more
