My neighbor runs a washing machine repair business in a suburban neighborhood in Alpharetta, Georgia. He seems to stay very busy. This is a fairly affluent area so its not that people can't afford to buy new appliances (on average).

A friend of mine worked as a private investigator for years after his dream of entering law enforcement didn't pan out. His job was mostly investigating insurance claims. He would actually drive his car and park near the home of the cl

Just built a new Linux workstation the day after Christmas with a 4.2 Ghz i7. In hindsight I should have bought a AMD Ryzen! Glad the computer I built my dad was an AMD.

That is worth a try! Thanks. There is an XFinity Store less than 2 miles away from me. Never thought to set foot there.

Along the lines of this. Anyone in the industry, why do they not cross reference the street addresses of their current subscribers and reduce the promotional mailing list or mail relevant promotions? Maybe it seems cheaper to do it this way

I am so sick and tired of xfinity mailings addressed to me or my wife or former residents of the home address asking us to switch to them for a two year discount that I know they won’t give us because we’re already a customer. They even jus

I actually fully intend to buy one of these for everyone in my company someday. As a Christmas present. Beats the heck out of just getting the company shirt and coffee mug.

Yes. We have to sign for purchases over $25 at retail. It's like the signature on the bottom of the check. If there is a fraud claim they'll trot out the signature as one of the evidences and compare to the card holders - at least

I want one of these so bad. I actually programmed a hex numpad mode, including ABCDEF, onto my Ergodox layout.

Absolute rubbish! For a company that needs to protect sensitive data, the data breach could be traced back to the decision to put that much data on a publicly accessible web application without any defense in depth. I stand by what I wrote

This sucks! I do not know of a comparable service to recommend to friends and family. The business plan is more expensive than Backblaze. This is a true blow to those of us who run Linux at home as the dearth of go-to cloud backup services

Excellent read. I've finally decided to do what I've been saying I would do for two years and create an open source demo Ruby on Rails application that applies these principles using the Devise gem and a few others. Will show it s

Reminds me of a saying that one of my startup mentors has said many times. "A great way to make a small fortune in home automation is to start with a large fortune." Seems that Intel is taking their step back rather than doubling

If I hadn't just bought a Ergodox EZ I would be all over this. I don't think my wife would forgive me for a month if I bought another keyboard right now. I already owe her decorating her office because of this last one. She doesn&

There is debate about the security of the PIN when the POS has been compromised. So the threat is that your PIN gets stolen and then you have to dispute unauthorized charges against your bank without the protection of Visa or MasterCard&#x2

That is wild! I'm very used to signing receipts as that is the way it is done with a credit card. With debit cards there is a PIN for the debit network, but we're told by the bank to swipe it and sign in (instead of entering a PIN

I was never really a slow typer, but I am now faster than I have ever been before since switching to Dvorak 4 years ago. I do want to point out that it is not that Dvorak is so fast, but in order to switch as an adult who programs for a liv
