The problem is that it seems to be cheaper to add internet crap to a bad toaster than it is to make a good toaster. On top of this, there's no guarantee nowadays that if you pay more there's any more chance of getting a better qua

Damn, how did that happen? When the first drive failed, why didn't the hot spare get activated? What software was it that didn't work properly? This worries me because Raid-Z2 with two hot spares is exactly the system that I was p

The reason being a boss sucked is because you are an empathetic person. Typical sociopathic management types have a "kill or be killed" mentality, and would not think twice about getting rid of people going through a "rough p

Free work on a prematurely failed suspension. It's understandable that a car model may have problems but Tesla must do a recall as it's a larger issue. Getting customers to sign NDA's sounds like a cover-up to me.

Well, that's the nail in the coffin... Bye bye Blackberry.

It is very worrying that a car company would expect customers to sign an NDA to have their faulty cars fixed. That practice should certainly be illegal, in the interest of public safety.

Both those points are valid, however possibly there is a market for people who would pay more for meat that they know hasn't been pumped with antibiotics? Maybe the startup could manage to do it for a cost that's less than organic

So what percentage of believing what's written in the bible is the threshold of craziness?

I lost a lot of money in the MtGox theft. Not a nice feeling. I really hope it works out for everyone.

I don't know about you, but I'm not going to willingly send all my personal conversations and a mass of data about my living space over the internet to be analyzed by a third party... So this will never happen in my household unle

That is dependent on them actually being software-fixable problems. In this case, the sensors do not actually monitor the complete space taken up by the vehicle, so this kind of accident would be impossible to prevent by modifying software.

Who decides if it's a valid reason, and who authorizes such access? If it's not the owner... then they aren't really the owner. With the number of cameras/sensors on a Tesla, it's a privacy nightmare... I won't

I am the same, I have buttons mapped on my mouse for switching to the last-used tab (Ctrl-Tab), closing the current tab (Ctrl-W), etc. Usually I will middle-click any link to open it in a new tab, then immediately switch back to the origina

One of the great advantages of OpenWRT is that you can make projects that use extra packages, eg to use it to create wifi webcams, alarm systems, and all kinds of things using GPIO pins as well.

Yes! I hate that!! It doesn't even remember the setting, you have to hit the three dots for menu before you search, choose "Route Options", then tick "Avoid tolls", then hit OK. EVERY TIME. And if you forget to go t

What level of RAID would you use for an array involving a dozen 3Tb drives? If the drives can't be trusted, then you'd need some kind of error correction in software, I'd presume. I thought the drives should auto-correct any

This is exactly right. All I see now in mainstream news is corruption and undisclosed agendas, and just a general insult to intelligence. When mainstream news is reporting stories about reality TV and sports "stars" from the same

Sounds more like DRM than prevention of sabotage. Like in printer ink heads... "Attention! Counterfeit hydraulics system installed. F-35 disabled until genuine system purchased". This would stop people buying cheap F-35 spare part

Can someone ELI5 what a distributed key value store is useful for? Is it like a DHT for torrents?

It makes me sad as well that the average person has no idea or understanding of the importance of the battle going on behind the scenes about their own privacy. These power-mad governments are more concerned with spying on their own people

I have always thought that it would be great if the original uploader of a torrent could (securely) modify the torrent so it could have multiple versions, ie if they found one file was corrupt they could update just that file, or add more f
