I travel, a lot. And rent a lot of cars. More than once, by the time I get to my rental car my phone is near-dead and a charger isn't always handy. Then you'd have the issue of pairing your phone with the car, which for some cars

There are some good cheap managed switches out there. I have a Linksys SFE2000-something 24 port PoE switch for my PoE devices (security cams, IP phone, other stuff) and a TP-Link [something] 16 port switch. Both support basic VLANs, SNMP

Seriously, why? Injection molding has far lower cost, higher quality, and you're talking about things that are very cheap and easy to ship. What does 3D printing bring to this?

That logic is presuming the attackers are randomly trolling, and that your company is not doing anything to attract a specific vendetta. If the company is a "good citizen", then an approach like that may be justifiable. If you ar

At this point in time, Tesla is still less than a rounding error on automobile sales. Ignoring potential markets and counting on the public to "do the right thing" would seem like a suicidal strategy to me. Do you have examples
