We keep one years expenses at all times as well as our mortgage payment is a little less than the cost of a two bedroom apartment so if a finical crisis hit that left us out on the street we would be there regardless. The problem with the h

We both have health insurance, we make too much for Obamacare but we costed it out and we can afford for one of us to stop working if we had to.

I live in America and my wife's family is from the UK. We aren't rich by any means but we bought a small house last year and when her family flew in they kept commenting on how big our house was. Our house is about as small as you

A company has an IT director who upon review has determined that Linux workstations would be acceptable for some of his users now due to the fact he uses onedrive. He tests this solution, finds it slow and decides to stick with Microsoft. T

You are probably right. We might have to accept less innovation in order to make the products affordable.

When the OBD system was created auto manufactures (via dealership trade organizations that are extremely powerful in some states due to the large sums of taxes paid on new vehicles) pushed for state regulations that don't allow cars to

I use it currently for security cameras as well as some lighting fixtures and electrical sockets. For the lighting and electrical I use zwave products and VM on my home server with a USB zwave dongle as the controller. This won't work

ODBII has to be the greatest planned obsolescence scheme ever perpetrated. Want to continue driving that older car that is running perfectly fine? Sure go ahead and rip apart the dashboard to get at that sensor that happens to fail perfectl

I find it cost effective to simply create a 2nd vlan at home for IOT use. It has no gateway for internet access and I can only access it from local devices or over my VPN. This way I can use inexpensive devices without the worry.

You seem to not be a fan of capitalism. Do you live in China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos or North Korea? If not, why not?

I'd counter with attempting to reclassify as non salary exempt. Most IT work isn't salary exempt and thus as I am perpetually "on call" I have to be paid for every second since I started working for you.

This is the company that charges $300 for a book about its products. The prices are rarely justified beyond "someone will pay it".

The first sentence is its own statement, the rest was my personal experience with Witcher 3.

Quite frankly, I feel Skyrim and the Mass Effect series blows Witcher 3 out of the water in regards to the criteria you just listed. I found the game rather boring given the limited character customization and rather linear skill progressio

I'd say Witcher 3 was a little below or on par with Mass Effect, Fable, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, Fallout or a Final Fantasy offering and combined you likely see at least one of those a year on average.

Unauthorized access, if you access the service in violation of their TOS then potentially they have a case against you. I'm not aware of it ever going to court in a case where they didn't also send a cease and desist.

Indeed, we bought a home due to the fact that the mortgage was less than rent for a low end apartment. We see it as a way to build net worth and reduce costs, we buy used cars, buy bulk household goods though Amazon. A lot of people have th

Auto loans are at record numbers currently, I know couples who pull down 25k above me and my wife that are "poorer" (renting, saving less) due to auto loans. People are nuts about cars.
