for the less tech savvy like my mom, it chewed up her 5gb data plan in two days and left her with kilobytes for 27 days. And in the next month, it tried to download itself again. she called me when she couldn't figure out why she was getting messages from Verizon on high data usage. She didn't...
I may have an exception to this:
Last week I recorded my daughter during a gymnastics competition. It made more sense to record her vault routine using a vertical image instead of a horizontal one. To get her head to toe at both ends of the floor and not have extra people/equipment in the shot...
Old school headsets used MURS frequencies, and very few had privacy codes. I could pick up the Wendy's and Mcdonald's in the area using my scanner. The McDonald's between my college and work was on green dot (154.60MHZ), which was the same as my work radio. When my friends and I were bored, we'd...
I tried Homeseer, MainLobby and another software to do home automation. I got away from it because I don't want a PC running 24/7 to have to control this crap. Home Hub is going to be the same. I don't want to run a full PC to listen for my commands. At least the Echo and Google device are low...
So what happens when the traffic light has a nervous breakdown and starts turning both directions green at the same time? Can it read lips? Do we have a new HAL 9000?
I just checked my last two bills. Still only $95. Under .7gb per month on a 2gb plan. I do have warnings and a cutoff below that point in my phone, as long as the app using the data reports through the phone.
Technically, wouldn't the busses they use to ship employees back and forth to work be considered 'ride sharing'? If so, they've been doing it for years.
I've seen the drivers in china firsthand. I guarantee one person per block riding a bike or scooter will be run over by this thing. And every 3rd block there will be a car under the wheels of the bus.
UPS left ~600rds of ammo at my apartment door. It's a box from Cheaper Than Dirt. I'm sure he knew what was in it. When I called to complain, he told his boss "I heard people inside, so I knew it was ok to leave". Didn't knock, didn't wait. just dropped and left.
Now I'm fighting FedEx over an...
I would have looked at the Nest, but I need it to integrate with my current home management solution, Crestron with Insteon lighting. Insteon has a thermostat too and I think I can read the settings with Crestron, or I can buy an uber expensive Crestron and control it from my phone, tablet...
We use a harbor freight shop press to crunch the drives. I've also used a 50lb pull magnet while the drive was spinning to ensure the data was gone. You usually hear grinding as the heads run into the platters.
The arrays are mounted on poles or frames, not directly on the ground. there's probably as much open land between the panels as there would be around a house in a modern subdivision. If subdivisions aren't cooling the earth, neither would a solar farm.
On a side note: I had proposed...
Some use a wifi connection from the car to automatically record on set triggers. Lights and siren, emergency button, crash detection, and shotgun/rifle rack opening are a few.
Others start recording when the button is pushed.
At my last company, the access control system was tied to E-Directory. We always joked that if you got to the parking garage and the gate didn't open, it was going to be a bad day. Either there were E-Directory problems or you were fired.
I'm tired of all the posts that this celebrity died, or this person said this without ever fact checking their data. I reply links to Snopes at least once a week.
Also sick of seeing 'click bait' headlines. "This happened, and you wouldn't believe what happened next!"
But we're talking about COX here, not Google fiber.
but I will add I've gone through 8 Cisco tuning adapters and 3 cable cards in 3 years at my current house with COX. the adapters stop talking to the mother ship after a while. Have to replace them or I get errors on any SDV channel with...
My girlfriend sells costumes on Ebay. She (well, more accurately *I*) ship USPS Priority mail in the tyvex envelopes. So far this season we've shipped 121 items, with only one not making it within the specified time. It took a two week vacation in Michigan before heading off to it's new home...
