My Mom goes to this store that had rewards coupons you could print out online. Now they want you to download the app, and the parents HATE stuff like that. It turns out they're lying about needing a app.

We found out that going into the developer console on Chrome, clicking the little icon of a laptop and a phone, and then setting the "dimensions" to a phone provokes it to show the coupon code.

I'm going to suppose their app is a shoddy frontend for a web interface.

Companies need to realize that not everything needs to be an app

I have a couple computers with insanely noisy case fans. Enough to the point I actually don't use them due to the noise most of the time. Do you think these would be OK to replace them with?

The only issue I see is the 4-pin connector. I'd probably have to get some kind of adapter to adapt them to 3-pin.

Could this work to control the speed of them?

My motherboards are quite old, and I do plan on eventually using the cases for a more modern system at some point.

This also looks better, the board does have one or two 4 pins, maybe this will work:

Noctua are the best in the game. These are 3 pin 5 volt, which should work on older boards

I put a extra 2GB of RAM into my favorite Core Duo laptop. I still have to test youtube, but with BYC it was pretty usable. I've installed the latest LMDE so that I have a up-to-date system and for the most part it works just fine.
 
This little Atom-based laptop is so slow it took it ages to open Google.
