A lot of new cars do have internet built in whether that is exposed for your use or not. My 2014 Chevy gave me 2 years of their mobile app which could unlock/lock the car via cellular for free. I know the car still has a data connectio

I don’t understand, what you’re saying doesn’t really make any sense. Were they also using Ethernet over power devices? Even so they typically have a setup process that negotiate the encryption keys between devices in your own home.

Is it really that scary? Ok maybe it isn't perfectly accurate but so what? He might be going 33 instead of 30..doesn't really matter.

Why not? Do you think any sensible driver would overshoot/undershoot their speed by any meaningful amount without noticing? Like without a speedometer everyone would just accidentally go 100mph everywhere or something?

Having to send in a physical postcard before account activation probably helps with that.

I noticed the same thing with the see through envelope part. I live in an apartment and get mail in my informed delivery dashboard addressed to past tenants at this address all the time. The system seems to only care about address, not name

Are counterfeits listed as brand names that big of a problem on Amazon? I make most of my electronics purchases from Amazon (tons in the last few years) and have never received a counterfeit item to the best of my knowledge.

The person you were replying to was talking about adaptive cruise control and automatic breaking. The majority of cars on the road do not have those features. Very different than plain acceleration and braking and much more likely to have g

Apache or Nginx would give you the same experience with a default install. Path would vary between the 3 of course.

Neato. Well dude you got your answer, take it or leave it. I understand acting dumb and trolling is fun too though.

Your pocket is irrelevant. Location tracking and shared marketing databases have nothing to do with what was in your pocket.

Highly unlikely. More likely they're using location tracking or a shared data source to know that you like that specific coffee place.

This looks great, I'm definitely going to give it a try. Spotify has been slowly driving me crazy with the same exact songs in my daily mixes day after day just reshuffling.

Reddit is looking like they might suffer a similar misstep. Not quite on the same level as Digg suffered for a number of reasons but still. They've been slowly rolling out and previewing a UI redesign. Comments on their UI redesign pre

The problem I have with that is that the delivery time often goes past the week mark. If I'm going to wait over a week to receive the item I might as well just order from somewhere like banggood which also has free shipping and is usua

Maybe I worded that incorrectly. What I mean is that you would be fine giving a kid a brushed quadcopter without worrying that they're going to filet themselves (for the most part. Yeah they could cut themselves but the damage would be

Totally different classes, the bayangtoys is a brushless copter while the sky viper is a very lightweight brushed copter. Brushless will have an insane amount of power compared to brushed motors. Plus the ones on the sky viper are tiny. The

Similarly, I was living in dorms (free electricity) at the time bitcoin made its debut (well not really, but it was still very early). I started mining using my fairly beefy desktop. After months I decided it wasn't worth the small amo

Not nearly as large as ATT U-Verse but I found a similar vulnerability in the modem I was provided from a rural DSL provider a few years ago. It all started when I called to get the admin credentials so that I could open a port. They refus

Which is so strange because in in the technical category they're one of the best. Shopping for a VPN provider 2 years ago I almost passed them right by due to how the site looks. So glad I dug a little deeper and eventually chose them

Lol this site is a joke, how much is TunnelBear paying him for the top spot? They're the only VPN provider I see consistently spending money on marketing and sponsoring YouTube videos. 'Fun to use'..what? I don't care if

The reason they haven't released anything since the Phantom 2 is because that was the last DJI drone before they started using the Lightbridge protocol. Lightbridge (and now OcuSync) have strong encryption and have not been broken yet
