All the benchmarks I can find are comparing this against the GTX 980. I'm curious how it compares to a 980 Ti.

Not likely, but he'd be there for a very long time. Generally speaking, when being held in jail for contempt charges, you can be held indefinitely, so long as you remain in disobedience to a court order. That last part is important, si

Over the years, I've definitely gotten a fair share of calls from my bank asking about genuinely fraudulent charges, and calls notifying me that my card number was reported by law enforcement as compromised and they're replacing i

Login to account, push "Export", select "JSON". It would be nice if they had OAuth support or a formally documented API, but it's still a good start.

As I understand it, Bancorp is just contracted by Simple to hold the funds and interface with the banking system. All of the policies, support and user-facing parts are handled by Simple itself. Ally, on the other hand, literally is GMAC.

I disagree about the service being bad. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Simple's support team. Also, they offer a JSON feed of my transactions, which isn't something any of my other banks provide.

Are you running an ad blocker? It seems to interfere with the status checks, since it blocks all traffic to the networks in question. Try temporarily disabling your ad blocker and trying again.

And even if it did... most folks don't have the time or expertise to deploy a Kerberos realm to get encrypted NFS. Remember that classic NFS uses IP addresses to manage access, with no concept of passwords. And all traffic is sent in c

As someone who frequently goes skiing, the recent deployment of RFID scanners at larger resorts is nothing short of amazing: You can reload the passes online, the lift attendants can check everyone's pass just by waving a scanner acros

Yes, it was a Mifare Ultralight C, which most Android phones can talk to.

That might not have been an oversight. Having designed the RFID tag system for a conference before, there's a real cost difference between crypto-capable NFC tags and ordinary ones, once you factor in the number of badges you need to p

Or perhaps the car detected its firmware had been tampered with, and auto-reverted to a backup image. Not enough evidence to say for sure, so Occam's razor applies.

Between IoT and the deployment of IPv6 (meaning no more automatic NAT firewalling), I feel like we need to take a fresh look at how home routers are designed. I'd love to see products that provide a user-friendly way to help me audit w

Not everyone is willing to take the time to learn. Some folks just aren't interested in the inner workings of their computer, or maybe they have other things they'd rather spend their time on. It's like asking everyone to cha

I mentioned it in another comment upthread, but http://sharedrop.io is exactly this. WebRTC file transfer with LAN peer discovery.

The problem is asking other users to install DD-WRT/Tomato/OpenWRT in order to get a secure device. That's not something I would reasonably expect my parents to know about or do. Consumer networking hardware needs to be secur

FYI: There aren't any unlicensed bands you can legally use a Baofeng UV-5R on. They're only approved for use on the business or amateur bands. Unfortunately all the unlicensed bands require band-specific hardware certification, wh

There are two-way radios that support text. Since a lot of newer radios are using digital signalling, it's not hard to add in. Off the top of my head, any of these would work: Amateur radios that have D-STAR (connected to an Android ph

It was mandatory at my school, as well. We covered basic orienteering, outdoor winter survival, emergency signalling, and avalanche safety. If I remember right, it was a one- or two-day field trip we took during middle school. Everyone was

D-STAR is actually an open standard. The only part that's closed is the voice codec (AMBE). But if you just want to transmit or decode data packets, you can definitely build your own hardware. There's even a couple SDR modules for

+1 on everything you just said. A dedicated radio (FRS, GMRS, MURS, or amateur VHF) -- along with GPS and other survival gear -- is essential in the backcountry. Carry a cell phone, but don't rely on it. I see folks doing that far too

Cmder (which is Conemu + extras) is my go-to terminal app for Windows, and I know a lot of other folks like it. http://cmder.net/ iTerm is definitely hard to beat, though.

Out of curiosity, why would you want to reflash an Ubiquiti AP or router? They tend to be extremely feature rich, since they target enterprise and professional customers.

Not only do NSLs not require approval from a judge, they also include a very intimidating gag order that prevents you from discussing the issue with anyone else (including even your own family). One of the big problems with NSLs is that you

Normal burns are usually localized to the surface of your skin. RF burns conduct all the way through your tissue, heating from the inside. It's a much deeper, more painful burn that takes an abnormally long time to heal. (Or so I'

Are you sure about that? The Verified by Visa site says that the liability shift is to the card issuer, not to the consumer: https://usa.visa.com/run-your-business/small-business-tools/...

I had the same reaction. Looking at the docs, it looks like the master key source is pluggable, so you don't have to use Amazon's KMS... but none of the other options inspire confidence (local file, fetch from URL, plaintext passw
