Just a fail in CA. I've been driving it like this for a year (~20k miles)

If resolving the check engine light required anything less than a full engine tear-down I'd have done it and not be buying a car at all. It will be due for its first California Smog Inspection within the month and a CEL is an instant fail. Cleaning the car is easy enough; I have all the stuff...

The time has come for me to start considering a new car. Used Model S prices aren't low enough, and the Model 3 isn't due out for a while. As a temporary vehicle, I'll be negotiating for this one tomorrow and the next day. We'll see if they'll take my beater as a trade-in. If anyone wants to...

And if you want automatic failover without the fuss, I use these all the time.

Around here, unless you specify otherwise and pay a premium, the WAN port on your router gets assigned an address from a pool managed by your ISP via DHCP. Exactly the same as a DHCP pool on your local network. If this is the case for both of your internet connections than simply swapping the...

Shame you aren't any closer; the FLIR One works great for this kind of stuff.

One of the things I noticed with my 1080 (and Titan X for that matter) is that the back plate gets hot regardless of fan speed or even water cooling. I was able to get my temps significantly lower by mounting a large heatsink to the back of them and directing case airflow across. You may get...

Do either of your internet connections have a static IP? If they are both DHCP, I'd just have both WAN cables labeled and sitting next to "Buffalo Master". Plug the appropriate one in and leave the rest alone.

BofA lets me set up auto pay with limits, I have mine set to not pay and alert me if: 1. More than one is attempted per month 2. The bill is more than 20% over the average for that bill. 3. The bill is over a hard limit I've set. Never had the issues ya'll talk about.

Bank of America allows everything to be electronic, and their mobile app is decent. I'm not 100% happy, but it seems to be a better alternative. Fidelity, not so much. But I am happy with the trading fees.

I was about to reply how disappointed I was that it didn't have WiFi built in, then I saw this link at the bottom.

Someone else changing the address is the first step in many hack/fraud schemes. Even if you feel fraud is unlikely, I imagine their fraud department is more responsive.

Nope. It likely won't draw more than 350W in non-synthetic stuff, I'd be comfortable with a 500W PSU.

This wouldn't work. The price of gas would just reach $5 and never move.

$5 might be much, $2/gas seems pretty reasonable to me. It is regressive, which is why I mentioned the gas-guzzler tax as an alternative.

Drivers of excessively large vehicles aren't being held accountable. Example: Miata vs. Suburban. Accident easily kills Miata driver. Had the other vehicle been smaller, a fatality would have been way less likely. Regardless of who is at fault for the accident, at least some of the...

Why RAID0 is still a good idea, even with M.2 SSDs, even if you've saturated the bus. https://youtu.be/9dA8yNEZgQU

This sounds like a fairly straightforward prisoner's dilemma problem, where each persons best interest is against that of the community as a whole. Other places seem to have sorted it out with financial incentives (registration costs tied to engine displacement, for example). We could do the...

Changed. That is really unfortunate; the embedded YouTube is more convenient in my workflow and I suspect leads to more views.

Agreed. Swap the 1080 for a Quadro P6000 and you have a fairly epic workstation that would more easily justify the CPU. I suspect he just had it laying around.

Nice tiny build. https://youtu.be/s2W0Lsf7hec

No electric version yet, probably 4 years out. But much less than 5000lbs and safer than most. Designing a car intelligently can lead to much better crash outcomes than just throwing weight at it. Clocker could probably contribute more on this.

3200lbs, plenty roomy. And the big thing I notice old people complaining about is getting in and out; they seem to want to partially fall out as opposed to climbing up ;)

I suspect there are very few video cards that are both fanless and faster than a current integrated GPU.

Wasn't that much of a hurry, it was nearly 30 hours from me noticing they were for sale and failing to purchase them. ;)

The Feds would probably like dozens of them for password cracking. I just want two for a really fast gaming experience.

It is a nice problem to have, but still a problem. Like my boss complaining that he has to pay too much income tax.

Any ETA?

New Titan X sold out before I could get the right credit card :( Time to pay a premium from a scalper...

I have on my desk right now an elgato Thunderbolt 2 Dock and a Corning 30m Thunderbolt 2 Optical Cable. Far from cheap, but cheaper than the bonkers dual-GPU + CPU + chipset watercooling rig I've been running to keep it quiet.

I've been really happy with the build quality of Corsair cases so far, and I always swap the fans. Have you considered relocating the tower? It might be easier than designing it to be quiet. Up to now I've had the rack in the living room with a full water cooling rig, but am relocating it to...

Looking for a laptop for use in a presentation space. Ideally it will have a large screen (something larger than 15.6") with 1080P native resolution, HDMI out, screencast support, and a large enough battery to run all day. I'll also be soliciting for a list of the software you'd install on a...

Part of the "Master Plan, Part Deux" I linked above talks about Tesla making buses and trucks.

This system does not exclude ride sharing. In my experience with buses in cities, they are either too full or too empty most of the time. This can be resolved by dynamically changing the size of vehicle and frequency of service based on real-time demand. The other challenge with scheduled...

I wasn't arguing that shared transportation would die out, but that scheduled routes and vehicles seating 25+ would. An app similar to Uber connected to a serious database could offer the best of all the options, both in terms of cost and efficiency. 1. It knows where you are 2. You tell it...

Once we have autonomous vehicles, I see large buses on regular schedules becoming inefficient.

It would be difficult to get the waterproof rating with a removable back. The battery shown in the video I linked (no cable, just a fatter phone for a while, also waterproof) seems an acceptable alternative.

I thought everyone gave up on DC being able to extract their head from their ass a long time ago?

The availability of external batteries has reduced the importance of a replaceable battery, in my opinion. Granted, I swapped mine 3 times yesterday to keep things going, but I could have just as easily connected an external battery for a while. And the new note has a microSD slot...

He could also just be, you know, nice?

A potential explanation for their behavior could look like this: 1. Better support and development is required to avoid all the bad press around security holes. 2. You can do better support on a product if you have fewer products; ideally one. 3. Getting people to move to your new product is...

The upgrade for the G4 is fine. And don't stop it, that would be bad.

Did a quick search and I've never heard of any of the phones in your price point. I was comforted to see several from reputable manufacturers (LG and Samsung). No specific suggestions, though.

Are you talking Clinton or Putin? Both are true.

From my perspective, this isn't about manipulating the process. Of course everyone does that. It is about who your friends are.

400ml of straight vodka shots over a 4 hour period (personally, 1.2l for 3 of us) is probably near my limit. My liver will be happy when my father in law leaves tomorrow.

One of the radio programs has talked about the divide between those "inside" and "outside" being larger than "democrat" and "republican". I don't think we are there yet, but it is awfully close.

I don't think anyone here is particularly surprised that the world of politics has more in common with Mos Eisley than main street.

Seems pretty clear who Putin would rather have as US President. http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2016/07/how-putin-weaponized-wikileaks-influence-election-american-president/130163/

1. SSDs are getting better at writes 2. With 2x 512GB, even if you use 40GB of cache the card can write balance for quite a while 3. For a $10k card killing SSDs from time to time isn't a significant cost
