Exactly. If the asker already has multiple routers dead, I suggest there is some other problem than the "cheapness" of them. Power spikes, lightning, and whatnot.
But that still tells DuckDuckGo which page you went to. We can't be sure if they store that information. It's better if you can simply disable sending the referrer information from your browser.
You also have to take into account how long it takes to physically depress a key. For example, John Carmack measured that it takes 16-20 milliseconds to fully depress one of the triggers on a Xbox 360 controller.

I have the HP 3070A multi-purpose print/scan/copy thingy and I've been very happy with it. Easy to use, reliable, works flawlessly over WiFi (both print and scan), stable drivers and good print quality. Then I also have the cheapo HP 635 laptop, fully plastic (as expected for the price point) but has served very well, nice display too.
Basically my recent experiences of their consumer stuff have nothing to complain about.
Nah. It's not worth it. All of these big companies come up with something nasty every now and then. The best option is just to not buy the particular equipment which has the backdoor account.
Operating Systems Engineering Group. Terry Myerson will lead this group, and it will span all our OS work for console, to mobile device, to PC, to back-end systems. The core cloud services for the operating system will be in this group.
Devices and Studios Engineering Group. Julie Larson-Green will lead this group and will have all hardware development and supply chain from the smallest to the largest devices we build. Julie will also take responsibility for our studios experiences including all games, music, video and other entertainment.
Applications and Services Engineering Group. Qi Lu will lead broad applications and services core technologies in productivity, communication, search and other information categories.
Cloud and Enterprise Engineering Group. Satya Nadella will lead development of our back-end technologies like datacenter, database and our specific technologies for enterprise IT scenarios and development tools. He will lead datacenter development, construction and operation.
Dynamics. Kirill Tatarinov will continue to run Dynamics as is, but his product leaders will dotted line report to Qi Lu, his marketing leader will dotted line report to Tami Reller and his sales leader will dotted line report to the COO group.
Advanced Strategy and Research Group. Eric Rudder will lead Research, Trustworthy Computing, teams focused on the intersection of technology and policy, and will drive our cross-company looks at key new technology trends.
Marketing Group. Tami Reller will lead all marketing with the field relationship as is today. Mark Penn will take a broad view of marketing strategy and will lead with Tami the newly centralized advertising and media functions.
COO. Kevin Turner will continue leading our worldwide sales, field marketing, services, support, and stores as well as IT, licensing and commercial operations.
Business Development and Evangelism Group. Tony Bates will focus on key partnerships especially our innovation partners (OEMs, silicon vendors, key developers, Yahoo, Nokia, etc.) and our broad work on evangelism and developer outreach. DPE, Corporate Strategy and the business development efforts formerly in the BGs will become part of this new group. OEM will remain in SMSG with Kevin Turner with a dotted line to Tony who will work closely with Nick Parker on key OEM relationships.
Finance Group. Amy Hood will centralize all product group finance organizations. SMSG finance, which is geographically diffuse, will report to Kevin Turner with a dotted line to Amy.
Legal and Corporate Affairs Group. Brad Smith will continue as General Counsel with responsibility for the company's legal and corporate affairs and will map his team to the new organization.
HR Group. Lisa Brummel will lead Human Resources and map her team to the new organization.
Sure v28 is built on Blink? I just put chrome://version/ in my address bar, and it shows my UA string as -- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.71 Safari/537.36
What the hell? Mozilla, AppleWebKit, KHTML, Gecko, Chrome, Safari... all in the same user agent string. That is some garbage.:)
Yeah, that was actually my thought too. It's possible that the HL3 stuff is just a dummy stub without any real plans to make development around it. If those screenshots are real, I guess we can forget getting a new Half-Life at least in the immediate years.
Jeri Ellsworth is quite well known in the hardware hacking scene. Check out her Wikipedia page for starters. She has quite interesting stuff up in YouTube, too.
Everytime i read "Valve" my thoughts pavlovianly go to HL3. Still not a single word about it?
Lately someone got snooping into Valve's Jira and some conclusions made were that HL3 was either inactive or in developmental infancy. L4D3 was advancing nicely and the Source 2 engine had huge development resources behind it.
Here's a sampler of my typical issues with desktop Linux.
- some button does not work on an GUI - ACPI keys don't work properly - audio pin mapping is wrong - graphical glitches - programs failing with obscure error messages - poor hardware performance - devices in confused state after suspend - WiFi getting stuck - failing DVD burning
I'm sure someone now cherry-picks an item from that list and says "Seriously? I've never had a problem in that area." But I still think the general idea gets through.
Next time when you do a Linux install, do this test: grab a little notebook, observe carefully what is happening and write down all these little things that come up. I think you get a nice list there and discover how the quality assurance department of current Linux distributions is not strong enough.
I do not oppose OSS in any way but you are correct that usually it just isn't that important for me that the source code is available. I will use the software which makes the computer most enjoyable to use.
It's still sad that there is actually a lot of cool stuff (Azure, Visual Studio, PowerShell...) happening in the Windows world too, but it never shows up here due to the heavy OSS slant. I'm more of a platform-agnostic myself.
The difference is people pay a lot of money to Microsoft to do one thing, make a good operating system. I'm not paying anything for Linux so I don't expect them to be perfect at all.
That's also why I like Win and Mac: when I pay, I get a premium OS, with less bugs, missing features and crashes, than I have with a Linux desktop distro.
You might want to change the media -- or at least review them -- annually to ensure they are still useable.
That and, always mount them read-only so that no software gets to tamper them. Preferably even use a dedicated computer for the verification if we are talking about extremely important data.

This is a good answer. Also, those devices have pretty stable stock firmware too, if you don't want to change it.
The messages were re-organized so that yours is not the first anymore. Sorry.
At least many laptops can be woken up by an USB keyboard or mouse just fine.
This is true.

Yes, I have seen this feature being used at least in YouTube feedback system.

But who knows.
Combined with encrypted hard drive, this is the best answer.
Or even Windows or Mac, actually.
