  1. Yesterday Geroge Hotz (the same guy who unlocked the first iPhone, and hacked the PS3) showed off his prototype of a self driving car add-on that costs less than $1000 and can be installed by anyone. A TLDR of the presentation, but feel free to watch the 20 minute video if you'd like: Costs $999 plus a $24/month data plan Installs in place of your rear view mirror Comma One relies on built-in car front radars and comes with a camera. Currently only supported on Hondas or Acuras with LKAS (Lane Keep Assist System) Like the Acura ILX for example More car models will follow in the future If you live in the SF Bay area you can be in their beta program and get one right now. What it can do today: Once you're on the highway in Mountain View, it will drive you all the way to the San Francisco exit without you touching the, Gas, Brake, or Steering wheel. https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/13/comma-ai-will-ship-a-999-autonomous-driving-add-on-by-the-end-of-this-year/ In addition to that Comma has been ingesting thousands of hours of driving data from ~750 users of their Dash and Chffr apps for Android and Iphone. http://comma.ai/ These apps record driving data from the user's smartphone which is then used to train the AI that is learning to drive "like humans would". I've been following their progress for a while, as well as logging 60+ hours of driving data myself and can say that Tesla has got some fresh competition that is going to be pretty cool once it becomes widely available. I have attached the two press photos of the device, plus a screen capped photo of the "front" of the device for you all to look over. This is a heavily "beta" product, so it's not quite what you'd see on the market but George seems set on shipping this by the end of the year. This was my first post in the Tech News section. Let me know how I can improve in the future. I figured given all of Luke's talk about Tesla, I figured he'd like to see this. Plus since Luke has an Acura, there is a chance he can get one in the near future to play with...
  2. Perhaps try following the steps in this article: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2079064/ethernet-doesnt-valid-configuration-notification-windows.html Also to answer your other question, The windows.old is all of the files leftover from your previous installation of windows on that computer. (assuming you just upgraded to Win 10 and didn't do a clean install) It has everything from the acutal OS files to your psersonal folders, so move out what you want to keep and then just delete the folder. Edit: spelling
  3. When I was in around 10 I thought I would fix my slow family copmuter by cleaning the dust out. So, I went and got our upright Dyson, attached the soft bristle brush and went to town on the inside of our Inspiron 530. I even went as far as to remove our GeForce 8300GS and give that a good vaccuum all around. When it came time to turn it back on, I was presented with a crazy display of dead graphics card video output; it never even made it to the Vista login screen.

  5. I am thinking of replacing my so-so ASUS VS228H-P 21.5" monitor: (http://www.amazon.com/VS228H-P-22-Inch-Full-HD-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B005BZNDOO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1411597563&sr=1-1&keywords=asus+vs228h-p) for this Samsung 22" TV: (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BCGRX9M/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER) because I want to also be able to use old game consoles on it without needing a second dedicated screen or janky composite to vga/hdmi/audio adapters. Has anyone had experince with using this Samsung TV as a monitor and sitting a few feet away? Can you really tell it's a tv? Thanks, Spencer
  6. I've been watching LTT and the WAN Show for a little more than 6 months now and I have no idea how I ever lived without it! You guys are the most entertaining, fun loving (you could even say SuperFun) eccentric group of individials I've ever had the pleasure of being invloved with. Take the 'Whole room cooling' project, sure it would be way easier to just buy an AC unit, but where's the fun in that? The fact that you guys are so open to every idea, and are just willing to rig up some crazyt multi-PC watercooling loop is just awesome! I can't wait for the video! Thanks for being one of my favorite internet media groups ever! -Spencer
