    This seem prone to hacking

    This is going to sound wierd but that is a good thing. If something is open source, then its security can be audited by everyone from high school students to hackers to professional security specialist. No need to reverse engineering anything, no need to pay to see the source code, no fear of a company sending the FBI to your door. Find an exploit? You can actually do something about it. 

  2. I just want to say THANK YOU to Linus and whoever in the team has been pushing for more videos on open source. I'm gonna sound like a neckbeard Linux keyboard warrior but Open Source should really be the future. And it's videos like these that help get more regular people educated about these project and that is what will drive the projects further.

    I never understood why people liked these keyboards. Unless you are going to be taking them in your bag, why even bother?

    For gaming, having the extra arm space is amazing. I also thought 60% keyboard we're useless, but then I tried them and they were amazing. I still have a full size membrane keyboard for my excel work, but I definitely prefer 60% for gaming.

     

    Back on topic, nice build. Love the ninja keycaps. So clean

  4. Not sure if this is the right spot, correct me if I didn't!

    So I need a VPS service for a personal VPN. I've been recommended Digital Ocean pretty strongly but I was doing some research and found others like Vultr. Any reccomendations/experiences you have? I know a couple of you are experienced in networking so I wanted to ask here. Thanks for the help!

  5. I find it disheartening to see that politicians cover up their bills with titles like "Human trafficking prevention act." What's even worse is that most people will eat this up without looking at the actual content of the bill. If this passes, it will be a total invasion of privacy. Not only that, it will be totally useless. People will find another way to commit these crimes. People are smart enough to disable these of filters. 

    This is nothing more than an insult to the people.

    I'm quite concerned on the SFF. How the hell will that cool everything is beyond me. Really excited. 

     

    And I like how you posted the pics, nice touch there. 

    Small form factor PC's don't output a lot of heat actually relative to their big cousins. a 65W i7 plus a 120W 1060 still fits in under that heat budget. Of course you won't be overclocking and it may not be capable of 8K gaming but for most people, this is more then enough.

  7. Cases like this, especially when they're one offs/prototypes are expensive to make. Why? Cause you don't get the benefit of economic of scale. From what I've seen on other forums, he also paid some engineering fees which really raised the cost. But this is the cost of making something unique. Believe me, once you start making orders of 5 or more, the cost of each comes down dramatically. 

  8. So I've noticed that in the latest vessel video, someone put a Mexican corrido in the background. When I noticed it, I couldn't stop laughing. As half Mexican, I approve of this. Just wanted to know if there's a back round story to it or if someone in the office is exploring new music genres?

  9. Bonded pair through AT&T? If so you can check your modem by going to 192.168.1.254 and then go to the "Broadband" tab at the top and it'll show your two lines and what they can provide. We used to be on the 50d/5up package and then they started to allow bonding. We could get 200Mbps down and 50Mbps up, however they don't offer a package that high, but that is what's shown on my Broadband page;

    That's just on copper, but it's probably because we're around 600ft from the utility box at the corner that converts from fiber, if I lived farther down my street I probably wouldn't be able to have my current package.

    Did it, my connection with AT&T is capable of 25 megabits (15200 kilobits on line 1 and 10007 kilobits on line 2 to be exact.) Sometimes we get that speed on downloads but most of the time it's in the 15-18 Mbps. The broadband table looks exactly like mine. Two lines both up and running. I live in a pretty old house and the fact that we live far from the utility box didn't help matters either so that's why they went with a "business type" bonded connection according to technician the came to my place.
