Just received my sign, made a few simple changes
YGDZ UBER 1PC Illuminated Glowing Blue Decal for Rideshare Drivers - Blue UBER Electroluminescent Sign, Better than LEDI just received my sign today, I have not put it to work yet. I did plug it in and it worked fine and it looks well made. The wire harness is a little long but I would rather have too much wire rather than not enough. I did not want to install the sign permanently with the supplied tape so I made a small modification. I purchased some very small rare earth magnets (Harbor Freight) and some 1"suction cups (Walmart). I super glued two magnets to the backside of the Uber sign and after removing the hooks from two of the suction cups, I trimmed the nibs off the suction cups with a razor blade and super glued a magnet to each of the suction cups.The sign is hanging on my patio door right now and it works great as far as taking it down and putting it back up, even in the dark, Pulls right off and "snaps" right back on as soon as the magnets get near each other. Since I am already using my car cigarette lighter ( my phone sits on a gooseneck/ usb plug in) I purchased a Dual 12V & USB Charger so now I have two 12V & 2 USB ports. Instead of using suction cups you could just bond two small strips of magnetic tape to the windshield, two 1/2 " X 1/2" pieces would work.

It is doing perfectly well for me, however I must add that I was already VERY experienced with Acronis True Image 11 Home which was transcendentally User Friendly by comparison. However ALL softwares, not just Acronis lack a lucid, concise and forthright User Manual written by someone well versed in precise and brief English, like the bear here. The BASIC functions should be covered first, with the next most valuable techniques in the middle and the more abstruse technical detail for Geeks in the last third. Even my original Acronis had to be mostly learned by using owing to the rather opaque style of the documentation, though I'd estimate it would be much less opaque to those who are trained Geeks or have a computer science degree.

Notwithstanding my critique above, I must still award all Five Stars to this Extremely Useful Acronis 2014 software and PRAISE it's flawless quality, the same for the previous version mentioned which I still have on an older computer.

If you are stumped, just get assistance from the brainier and more experienced, albeit any science background should afford an upper hand by virtue of being able to think and to analyze your experience of using Acronis, a trait that is weak in those who majored in the liberal arts.

So, do try asking the more Geeky for help, if needed, and do click on the Gear Symbol to the right of a backup profile to discover hidden features that will ease your frustrations.

Acronis is one of THE FINEST and MOST RELIABLE to say nothing about Bug Free softwares I have ever used. I suggest doing your back ups only when all on your computer is working perfectly -- a full image and the increments, so that you will NEVER LOSE anything and can EASILY recover corrupted system, ALL your installed applications, as well as all personal videos, documents, shortcuts, data, pictures, music (the "FULL HDD IMAGE" in less than 10 minutes for most, under 30 for R&D scientist. Just overwrites the worst worm, cryptolocker, malware, viruses, corrupt system files or whatever.

Saves your bacon every time! ! ! Replaces 2--6 months labor restoring all from scratch in under 30 minutes for virtually everyone.

I love that amazon has apps to download. The apps are super helpful. Once again this app is Amazing, This is a way to shop, watch tv, and enjoy social media. This has been great with my fire stick! My cable provider was proud to provide me with 200+ HD channels. My biggest reason for cutting the cord was that I watched about five channels, of which four could be obtained without cable. They always offer more, more, more...but I wanted less! So, even though cord-cutting is really about not paying for those "filler" channels for most of us, the good news is you can still have them for free! Pluto.TV provides a similar "guide" interface as most cable providers, and over 100 HD channels. And it's mostly just that: those filler channels you throw on the screen when you're bored, or to have something on in the background when doing other things. If you're into some of the cable channels, you'll notice a decline in program quality. If you're a cord-cutter who just wants the option to have "those other 100 channels I really don't watch", and without commercials taking up 1/3 of the airtime, Pluto.TV will fill that void at no cost

I rate it 1 star more for it's content rather than it's graphics. NBC has become agenda driven and displays only that will help it's agenda. Truth and honesty are the least of their concerns. I much prefer a new organization that reports both sides of the story so that I can make my own personal judgment. This is a typical left leaning organization that thinks that there views are superior and we are too stupid to figure out things on our own. It is no longer a news organization, it is now a propaganda institution. Case in point, they said recently that Pres. Trump is the least experienced president that the country has ever had. I find this laughable as he has had more leadership experience than the previous president by more than a hundred fold. You don't become a billionaire through incompetence. As they have tried with everyone else that doesn't fit their ideology, you are branded as stupid and incompetent and they just keep repeating it over and over hoping that people will start believing it. Unfortunately, there are a lot of stupid people that believe everything they say, especially the college snowflakes that have yet to develop any reasoning skills. The country is suffering greatly now because the press is biased driven. They would fit right in in Venezuela, Turkey and Iran where it is all agenda driven.
