Now, it's easier to do than ever, and it doesn't take any advanced Linux knowledge. Here's how to make your own retro game console in about 30 minutes.
- How You're Unknowingly Embarrassing Yourself Online (and How to Stop): You probably know not to post things online that could bite you later, but many of us do it all the time anyway?often without even realizing it. Whether it's a friend tagging you in a photo or admitting you torrent your movies in a Facebook status, even innocuous posts or photos can damage your relationships, get you in trouble at work, or even land you in legal hot water. Here's what we mean, and how to stop.
- How to Bring Your Car into the 21st Century with a Few DIY Upgrades: Whether you bought a new car yesterday or you?re riding along in a decades-old junker, your vehicle of choice may not have all the modern capabilities you desire.

Questions and Answers
Each week we answer five questions from readers and listeners. Here's what we tackled this week.
- How can I repurpose an old PowerPC Mac desktop or laptop? Use one of our Windows repurposing suggestions (as they also apply to Mac in many cases) or read this post.
- Why won?t my iPod Nano sync with Spotify Premium offline tracks? Because, unfortunately, it can?t.
- My bedroom is ridiculously warm. What can I do about it? You really ought to buy an air conditioner (and can get help picking one out here), but if you want to follow the cheaper route you can try some DIY alternatives first. If it's more of a sleeping problem, you might just need to learn to stay cool while you sleep (which is a lot easier than keeping a room at a steady, comfortable temperature when it's hot out). For more ideas, keep an eye on our beat the heat tag page.
- What's better? Dashlane or Lastpass? We really like Lastpass, but Alan is fond of Dashlane because it offers a bunch of additional useful features like purchase history tracking and full encryption.
- Do you have to root to install Cyanogenmod? Yes, you have to root your Android phone or tablet in order to flash a new ROM.

How Do I Submit a Question?
There are two ways to send in your question:
Please keep your questions as brief as possible. This means about 3-5 sentences for emails and 30-60 seconds for calls and videos. Your questions can be specific, but broader questions are generally better because they'll apply to more people. For example, "how can I breathe new life into my old PDA?" is much better than "what can I do with an old HP iPAQ 210?" Either way, we look forward to hearing from you!
