I see $38.49 on Amazon now. Still a great buy there. $29/31 was certainly too good to be true for this.

Just got mine today. Paid the slightly higher $31 the day after the initial deal. I must say, this is a great board. Even at the current price I would not be unhappy, and I would still recommend this board to anyone for their first mechanical/RGB and/or for gifts. If it goes on sale again, it's...

Ubiquiti cameras are the way to go. I've done multiple house installs, my own home, a 50 camera warehouse and 100 camera highschool. We've torn out AXIS installs and the users found the UBNT setup to be significantly more pleasing. Nothing competes with them at the price point. The NVR is...

I understand you think your phone system is mission critical, but if that's the case you need to have it fail-over across any of the internet connections. I'm thinking your phone isn't actually as important as you claim it to be, that said... We pay $30k+ for internet, and we don't trust any...

Comcast does bandwidth metering of your IP from between the CMTS and the upstream router the CMTS connects to. At least that is what we've been told. They certainly do not do it on any local level, though - as you can use any compatible modem and modems don't do traffic accounting. I find this...

Are you talking about the CrystalFontz LCD display? I'm not sure what you're doing, but the drivers exist to use that LCD and buttons with a program like LCDProc.

That's completely not true. Taxi/car services are irrelevant when it comes to road wear. The entirety of transportation companies only exist because the other citizens need them to.

I wouldn't even apologize. There is no excuse for people who can't take a second to read the details to realize that they're seeing news from a fantasy world.

I would pay $400/mo for the 10gbps line simply because we pay $8000/mo for 10gbps at our massive datacenter at work... These have to be massively oversold, and they also assume the users couldn't hit 10gbps.

I don't think I've ever even seen a fixed-code garage door. This would only be impressive if it was able to brute force rolling codes.

That's reasonable. Maybe also make the key have to be awake... Some sort of motion switch inside the keyfob enables the proximity transmitters. Therefore if it's in your pocket the car will unlock when you're next to it - otherwise it's sleeping when sitting inside your house.

Properly done WIFI deployments are more secured than wired, at least until you implement 802.1x on your wired side. Having the device not trust the network, and the network not trust the device until keys are exchanged is the Holy Grail of network authentication. The issue with the car keys...

This isn't an interesting attack, and it is defeated by auto-locking doors. The cool attack is the repeater one. Basically the car whispers looking for the key, and the key shouts the proper unlock codes. Using a repeater, you can make the car's key request reach a long distance (probably...

Probably doesn't apply in your case, but a word of warning about Arista MLAGs... A large investment firm had a failed supervisor lead to a total double blade chassis outage when MLAG "rebuilding" spiked the CPUs on both chassis, leading to all traffic being dropped. The only way to get...

Anytime I've seen a 1:1 device/student program fail, it's because the IT department was bad. It is not an impossible goal or a bad idea to have even student with a device. They could hide their incompetence running a normal network, but once you brought in a serious wifi network and 500+...
