Sounds like US residents will be getting a rude shock in the coming days as the "de minimis exemption" ceases. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newslette...fs-kick-in

What 'continuous vetting' means for Kiwis in America.

Advising people not to go there makes sense.

Mightily impressed, I bought a Ryzen 9 5950X on special a couple of weeks back, older tech but still plenty of power.  Intention was to upgrade a smaller unit I have CPU mining Monero.   

The original board was a Gigabyte ABN350 wifi, this was a bit optimistic in hindsight as the voltage regulator VRM in it were a bit weak.  with the CPU maxed out the VRM kept overheating and only way I could sort that was a largish fan pointing directly at the VRM heatsink. Reality though it was never going to work, SFF build ITX board with a 120mm AIO water cooling , just too tight for more fans...

SO I bought myself a Cooler Master Elite Case, Asus Rog Strix b550A, and a 360mm Cooler Master Master Liquid 360 AIO Water cooler.

100% CPU utilization and CPU Temp is 47 degrees - I was impressed.


   

Trump and RFK Jr. to Ban COVID-19 Vaccine ‘Within Months’

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trum...59225.html

I have a Samsung tablet using the Google Chrome browser.
I must have inadvertently change something.
If I am browsing an internet page, then open another, the previous page/tab will remain open.
They just keep staking up and I have to manually close them.
I have looked for a solution online, but most seem to be for pc versions. 
This involves making a change in the browser settings, but this option is not shown in my Android version.

Any help or advice please ?
