I did however just pick up a pair of HiFiMan HE-400i headphones. They are very good and absurdly comfortable.

This worked great, but was absurd overkill for game comms. That equipment is now at a large venue serving as intended. I just went back to the Yeti.

I just purchased a good 85" 4k TV for $2500. My 42" 4k monitor was $2k. Even a color-accurate 27" low-res monitor isn't worth more than $1k to me.

Only 27"? And I know their monitors are technically better than most, but their pricing is full-on crazy town.

It almost got down to freezing last night (2C). Probably won't happen again for a month or so. I'm sure those panels are rated to handle some ice, but I never looked into it.

Squarespace now has integration with Google Business on checkout. Go to Squarespace, buy a domain, choose Google integration, choose the 1-page site, config site. By the time you are done configuring a stock image and simple text for the page Google should have authorized the domain so you can...

Your next one will no doubt have an LED backlight, so you won't have that particular issue again.

On Tuesday I did it twice (his and hers) in the span of 30 minutes. No webpage at all.

Don't rent from anyone. Buy a domain, hire the best provider at the time (currently Google) to run it. If better comes along, change to them. Your e-mail address never needs to change again.

Yup, I wouldn't spec such a weak server for anything. Not even just the OS, not even on bare metal.

I use a program on Hiren's BootCD. I mean, I've heard it can be found on there....

I think you are spot-on with the drives not spinning up thing. I don't know if the BIOS password stalls things at the right time to do anything. Does your motherboard have staggered spinup?

Nope, not that one.

My LG G5 (Verizon) just updated to 7.0 this morning. I really like it so far. More responsive and a cleaner UI.

I've had this problem at home and work, on FF and Chrome. About 50% of the time all the keys work except the space bar. Only for this site, only until reboot. Anyone else having this issue?

I still haven't done the dental thing yet. I'm down to ~60% of teeth being functional in some way. When there is significant pain I have a root canal done and skip the crown. Eventually I'll have a full set of synthetics put in, but I'm still gaining weight so it can't be that big an issue yet.

Yup. Still waiting on the 2nd prototype, going to a 5U design.

Do you happen to have a spare power supply?

Those are awesome. But I did just climb out of one of these: http://www.cat.com/en_US/products/new/equipment/dozers/medium-dozers/18580079.html

Loss of the safe isn't relevant, and they are designed to preserve the contents. I have easy access to bulldozers.

Not gone, just crazy busy. Still reading everything, just not having much to say.

Possibly. Most of my machines are torn apart as part of an overhaul at the moment.

When in really sketchy places, I can see the advantage of the GTFO. But rather than going all the way home, I've tended to just identify the closest place with satisfactory care. S.E. Asia = Tokyo, S. America = Buenos Aires, Africa = Cape Town or Germany.

The large LiIon cells are in their own fire safe in the garage ;)

In the more difficult locations I use the cameras as the motion detectors. The on-board software allows me to set dead zones where trees are and exclude areas close to the ground or just above fences. The cameras output a 12v trigger that is picked up by an Insteon senor that triggers the lights.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. You know what a fire safe is, right? Particularly effective if set into concrete, which is set into the ground.

Thoughts: 1. I regularly have copies of keys that say "Do Not Duplicate" or similar made all the time. Key services are offered by all kinds of places that employ minimum-wage high-school labor; they don't know or don't care. 2. One of my hobbies is sport-picking (timed competition for picking...

Cool. Did you write that yourself?

Ended up picking up some more absurd stuff, I'll test it at home for now before it needs to be deployed. https://amzn.com/B00SLIUYL8 https://amzn.com/B001PPXFAG

?? Not enough control? In my experience it does exactly what it says; takes a bunch of pictures with the specified angle difference.

I have a fire safe, and every document in it has been scanned and encrypted copies of those folders exist in different systems around the globe. The cash would likely survive, and the jewelry sure would. Removing the safe would require demolition of the house; it was put in first ;)

I just stick the 100-400 II on the Gigapan Epic, but for that kind of quickie going hand-held would be fine.

My Blue Yeti mic at home now has an annoying digital whine to it (kid has caused it to hit the floor many times). The mic is connected using a direct USB interface, so I'm assuming it must be within the mic itself. Does anyone have a recommendation for a mic with good quality, vibration...

I have never in my life had a safety deposit box.

If you need wider than you have, just shoot multiple images and stitch. Particularly good for long stuff (no close objects to mess the stitch due to parallax) that are abnormally shaped (I bet 5 horizontal shots with the camera in portrait would work).

I received the prototype of my Protocase-made custom chassis on Friday. Just waiting on a couple parts in the next couple days and I'll have something cool to share.

Tesla quarterly net profit.

I'm considering designing a 3D-printed ceiling mount for them, so I can put them in like smoke detectors.

IIRC 60C?

I'm really happy with my G5. The two things that break on my phones most are the battery (can't hold charge) and the connector (gets loose). Both of those parts are easily swapped without tools on this phone.

640k should be enough for....

I have weatherproof enclosures bolted to poles in the middle of nowhere where space and power consumption are considerations. Having the ability to VPN before jumping the wireless bridge might be nice. Might also be good for integration into IoT products.

Not at that age yet, but I am interested in any solution you come to. I've given the kid their own tablet that doesn't know the password to the WiFi. Any videos she likes watching I download and copy to local storage. No kid mode used at all.

I use "The Cloud" when talking to execs when making general points that are true for all of them. 1. Isn't accessible if you lose internet connection 2. Can be hacked without anyone at our company making an error 3. Is likely already compromised by several government agencies 4. Comes with some...

Yup. Easily, in all samples.

Clearly the solution is a 3x3 matrix of 4k screens.

Fail doesn't seem to be the issue. Efficiency falling to a fraction of initial in a few years seems to be the common one, and even 2x savings wouldn't be enough in that case.

Unless there is some very technical reason that I haven't found relating to backfeeding the grid significant amounts of power, it is not only obstructionist, but counterproductive. They do have to pay me for excess power I produce, but at a rate so low it must be below their production cost...

Make sure the stuff you are looking at carries the right warranties and that the companies themselves will be around to see it through. There is some shady stuff out there.
