Its not a new router - Buffalo AirStation HighPower N600. However I guess I am one of those people who gets irky to replace something that is not exactly broken. Maybe once the AC specs starts showing up in the gadgets I use, I might.

I did but since Chrome is my main browser it was much easier to change the Cert once than to switch browsers everytime.

Interestingly I was all for this until one day when I wasn't able to log into my Router's page. The router used a self signed SHA1 certificate and Chrome outright refused to render it. Gladly the router was open to dd-wrt and I wa

Technically they are not preventing you from working on it, they are just not making it easy by open sourcing it. Personally, I would like to modify my OS and contribute the changes under a liberal license such as MIT but the terms of GPL

That is not the same fallacy. That is one person who controls the nation sitting on an immense amount of wealth while his people starve. India doesn't have a huge wealth tucked under its bed that it refuses to redistribute to its citiz

I think chip might end up somewhere between Arduino and Raspberry Pi. If it builds a good community around it, I might consider getting one.

Interesting. I would get one if I could hack it for other devices. It is kind of amusing that even when Microsoft has started making cross platform compatible hardware [1], Samsung is stuck on a page from the old MS playbook. Hardware that

I personally think its a pretty cool product. However, their insistence on having everything routed through the cloud doesn't seem appealing to me. If they close down or even if Google has some sort of service interruption, this thing

Nice work! I first came across this concept a few years back when someone posted an instructable which I believe he was building a Magic mirror for his daughter [1]. I re-implemented the idea but with a spooky tone, ie. it is framed as a re

Yes they did :). This was their most recent announcement [1]. It is currently available only for the preview members but when it is finally released, it will be available to everyone for free as an update. The idea is to emulate 360's

I have not used powershell so I can't vouch for it. It is mainly because I couldn't find simple tutorials regarding them. Unix shell on the other hand is dead simple to use. However I get all icky if I have to use them on scripts.

First, the website is down. Second there is always overblown paranoia that runs with every release of Windows. I wish if EFF or atleast ArsTechnica would cover so atleast it will be a proving point for these independent blogs. For all I kno

One way would be to keep forking Firefox's codebase for bug fixes and new features while customizing it to fit the needs of the privacy conscious users. It may not be "ethical" but it will serve the main premises of open sour

Maybe I am overlooking something but why don't you subscribe her to Amazon's "Subscribe & Save" program? This way she will consistently get her deliveries and might even save 5% to 15%.

Well CueCat was "free" (Although mostly forced on you). Amazon dash is a regular paid product on Amazon. Neither of them can hold you accountable for hacking/repurposing it. However, if someone has a chance that would be CueC

More or less likely yes but so does the U.S. Microsoft also opens up the sources to them so that alleviates some of their concerns.

Does anyone know if this includes a database of tracking hosts or if its self learning? Because for me on Reddit it counts all the CDN's as tracking domains and the actual tracking domains as the non-tracking ones [1]. [1] http:/
