Not at all, the technology to do that exists and is in use everyday around the world. The US is also #2 in the world for the origin of cyber attacks, the only country with more is China.

As I said to another commenter:

It isn’t hard at all. Most burglaries happen in the daytime too. Someone can walk up to your house during the day while you are at work. Ethernet cable is always clearly marked on the cable, and it would be trivial to come back and install something if they don’t have the tools on them now.

Don’t underestimate what…

Most people don’t have smart switches in their home, and many are prohibitively priced for home users, although there have recently been some coming down in price in the consumer space. Regardless, MAC address spoofing is relatively easy to do, and there are tools out there that fly through them, trying until they get…

Just as a warning to people, this is a really big security risk. If someone comes by and notices the cable, they can tap into it with a matter of a minute or 2 and have access to your entire network potentially compromising things like banking info.

Is it likely? No. But definitely possible. This is the digital…

They are pretty much identical mechanically, but the G29 has slightly better finish. Leather wrapped, regular controller buttons for menus, some other minor things. But it is a lot more expensive, especially because if you want the shifter it is a $60 addon, where it is included with the G27. The G27 shifter was nicer…

That honestly wouldn’t really be effective in our industry. For someone to become competent at our most basic of jobs (software support) it would take months because everything we used is specialized. By the time they were able to actually help, peak would be over and they would have overall lessened our effectiveness…

I’ve only encountered a few things labeled with the EU system, but all the stuff I’ve seen has 2 columns. Per 100g and total package.

If a company can’t afford to fairly compensate their workers for their time, then that company should already be seriously restructuring its staff and business strategy.

As far as that article you linked to, it is deeply flawed. Overtime is taxed no differently from standard income. Even if it does push you into…

This is awesome news for me. I’, young and live in Ohio and do IT work for an accounting firm. Wages aren’t super high here, especially for young people, but that’s because cost of living is low. I’m below the $47k limit, but I actually am way above median income here. But also being an accounting firm, IT ends up…

This isn’t an option for everyone. Where I live, you have 1 choice for cable. You have 2 choices for internet, but 1 of them is a low-quality DSL provider and their fastest speed can’t even be called broadband anymore.

I really love the BRZ’s stock steering wheel. It’s a really comfy fit. Although the new 2017's do have buttons, which honestly is a big help, because the BRZ radio doesn’t have physical buttons for skip track/play/pause. They seem to have largely kept the same general shape though. I would have much prefered they just…

Was this some shady BHPH type place? Seriously that’s absurd. In my experience shopping for cars, dealer financing was almost always the most affordable option. The local lenders I talked to which ranged from small local credit unions up to huge multinational banks all were stating in the 3-5% range as their lowest…

It would be cool if supercar manufacturers offered some kind of free basic training with their cars purchase. Some people may not need it and be great drivers already. But the majority of first time buyers would likely benefit a lot from it.

I use bar keepers friend to clean a bunch of stuff. You can no joke acid etch aluminum with that stuff. I’ve actually used it on a couple things to change it from a gloss finish to a brushed finish. Barkeepers friend and an sponge with the wire scraper on the other side will give you a decent looking brushed finish on…

They way it sounded, they put him on temporary leave while they investigated things internally, and that just happened to go to the end of his contract. So yeah, he basically got free vacation time, but I doubt he got any like real severance pay since his contract did run it’s course.

I doubt Clarkson got a severance. They didn’t actually fire him. His contract was up and they just decided not to renew. I mean it’s possible that he could have got something, but I personally have never seen an employment contract that gives severance upon non-renewal, typically that is reserved as an out for the…

I think it would be fun to have American Chris Evans do it. There can only be 1 and it might as well be freaking Captain America.

There are a ton of them: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
