Actually, someone in Colorado said that he couldn't register his car because they don't accept P.O. boxes.

I didn't need to register my care while I was in Page.

I found old posts saying you cannot register to a P.O. box because they realized a decade or two ago that people were trying to get around emissions testing, but I cannot find anything recent or official, and when I found the title and registration form it just asked for an address.

There wasn't anything about P.O. boxes.

A friend in Washington found full-time SLPA jobs that pay $60-70k, but my aunt lives in that state and keeps talking about leaving for cheaper home prices.

By the way, I always pack up my laptop to take it to my Wednesday client. This time when I returned I finally set up my new KVM switch.

I bought a Syba KVM for $60 in 2016 and it didn't work.

I don't know what I was doing back then, but about the only time I use my laptop without a keyboard, mouse, headset, and my 43" television is at that client's house.

It didn't make sense to have 2 keyboards, mice, and headphones, except my Logitech on-the-ear headset isn't nearly as nice as my Family Dollar over-the-ear ones, I just couldn't find any other USB headset, and for some reason my normal headset doesn't work with my desktop.

I was amazed that I could buy a KVM for $20, but I could!

I wonder if they sell the same one on Wish. It was Ugreen and:
  1. It isn't a KVM, it is a USB switch. No HDMI.
  2. It doesn't work!
It turns out they have cheaper ones, but I didn't see them.

I just saw this, but after hours of searching I was happy to find something that wasn't either cheap garbage or prohibitively expensive: StarTech.com 2 Port USB C KVM Switch - 4K 60Hz HDMI - Compact UHD Desktop KVM Switch w/USB Type C Cables - Bus Powered

It cost $109.54!

Since it only has 2 ports I bought a 4-port USB hub and may end up buying another hub so I can use my webcam with both computers!

It had HDMI out, but USB-C in, which probably won't work with my desktop, which doesn't have USB-C!

I bought a USB-USB-C cable, but I don't have confidence that will work, especially when it is way skinnier than the provided USB-C cables.

So, my HDMI video is coming through a USB-C cable, and my USB peripherals are connected to the switch with a mini-USB.

Everything worked fine last night, but the video has glitched a few times in the brief time that I have used this today.

That is what the first one did. It only got worse and worse.
