I remember it happening once before a while back. Not the same tesla scam though. I think someone stole linus' SMS 2FA by getting the carrier to do a sim replacement.

Yes, it happened when they were on location picking blueberries. Here's the link, not that it's very useful right now:

games like that either of these will do great. 

you might also want to check out pccasegear.com I brought my pc and other stuff from there and they have good prices and package things very well. They are in VIC and I'm in WA and never had an issue.

Hey it's me, your co-worker. Where is our job again?

can you imagine the outrage if the second amendment included rc planes as well

True but that would be very expensive and make the expensive hobby of owning a drone even more expensive. The rules are a good idea as long as that make the public aware they can report violations and you can then get fined and have your drone confiscated. Pilot tests are just too excessive. 

awesome post!! 200mbit is great especially for a farm. I have a friend who lives a few km out of town as he can only get a weak 3G signal with a roof top antenna and even then only 8GB a month. Might look into this gear see if I can share my connection to his house. 

After seeing Linus mention Ubiquiti on the latest WAN show, and their discussion about people getting fast connections to remote places, I thought I would share a project log with you guys to show you how I got a fibre optic connection from the nearest village to my farm 500m away.
 
When I moved to my farm back in June, I called the ISP and was told I could get "up to" 1mbit broadband. Having moved from a town house which had been blessed with 150mbit for a few years, this was something I could not settle for. I discovered that the nearest village was served by Virgin Media's fibre optic and figured there must be a way to get this service to my farm. Obviously the first thing I did was contact Virgin Media to get a quote to put in a line. After some negotiation, the cheapest they could offer me was £7,000; and that was if I dug the trench myself.
 
Then I came across Ubiquiti. After a good discussion on another forum, I put together a plan and 5 weeks later I went from having 1mbit broadband to what is effectively a 200/15 FTTH connection.
 
The plan basically consisted of me gaining permission from my nearest neighbour to mount a Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5AC along with a external cabinet, on his wall and then "beaming" the connection over to my farm.
 
I hope you find my project interesting and maybe even inspiring and if there is anything you want to ask me, I'll be happy to answer.

So this is where it all begins. Packed inside a compact, weatherproof box is all the equipment need to give me a connection. Here we can see a dual socket power point, powering the fibre modem itself as well as a power over ethernet (POE) converter used for powering the Ubiquiti NanoBeam 5ac. Its a tight fit but I wanted to get the smallest possible box to reduce the visual impact on the neighbours wall. The coax connection comes through the bottom of the box into the modem, from the modem a cat5e runs into the POE converter and finally another ethernet runs from the POE up to the Ubiquiti wireless transmitting hub.     This is a view of the whole setup on the neighbours house. As you can see, the coax comes out of the ground after running along the property boundary from the road. They actually ran a new cable from the cab for me, it doesn't split off the existing connection. The upper cable coming from the Sky dish is the power cable which connects in the neighbours loft through a fused box. The cable running up the middle is the ethernet running to the white Ubiquiti transmitting hub.     This is a view from the neighbours house to the receiving hub. The dish is mounted on the telegraph pole which can be seen in the middle of the photo, just to the left of the woodland. The total distance between the two hubs is around 450m.     A picture from the halfway point between the two hubs showing both hubs.     And here is a picture from the receiving pole, back to the neighbours house.         This picture shows the connection between the receiving hub to the house itself. The total length of cat5e used was about 73m. The distance to the house from the pole is about 60m with a further 13m running around the house to the rear office. The cable is supported by a length of steel cable which is taught between the pole and the house. I then simply cable tied the ethernet to the steel cable. There is about 1m of excess at the pole end in case I need to make repairs.       Here you can see the cable running around the outside of the house and finally through the wall and into the office.     And finally the office where the connection is received.       As mentioned before, the superhub is in modem mode with the two Ubiquiti wireless hubs set into bridge; so they are essentially (and as far as any receiving equipment are concerned) a really long cable. After passing though another POE converter, the connection is received by a Asus RT-N66U router. The main desktop is connected via ethernet, with other devices making use of the wireless.   Here is a couple of printscreens of the Ubiquiti hub interface. There is a bit of tweaking to do hear and there but ultimately it is working as it should. Not bad considering I only lined up the dishes by eye. The channel width 40mhz. The extremely low noise levels in the rural area are probably helping things. I am not all too clued up on a lot of this sort of stuff so any tweaks will be carried out with the help of a mate who is a network engineer.    As you can see there is a <1ms ping between the two devices with a total throughput of ~300mbit.         The connection has been live for several months now and I've not had a single blip. I am a happy man

Simple answer: no.

Yeah, let me just sue the power company because I got electrocuted while aggressively sticking my fingers in the power socket.

Title should be: "Russian gamer sues Bethesda because Fallout 4 cost him his job & marriage, lawsuit fails just like his job and his marriage."

My sister constantly clicks on links that any person with some common internet sense would know is obviously fake. Which can lead to certain viruses getting on her PC. I've had to wipe her computer 3 times this year. 2 of those times were from ransomware. When her computer becomes really slow and I tell the reason why she asks me to write a list of where you get viruses on the internet and thinks I'm being rude when I explain to her I can't. Now I get asked to read every suspicious email in case its a virus...

Life saver! thanks so much!!

that is normal cables.

A lot of people don't raid their hard drives... and in professional work flow with a lot of footage you can get burned

Wait until January for when you make the part list. Zen and the Fury x2 are around the corner, as well as a whole bunch more.

more like 8x

You see more 2D images of the eart than 3D, I think the evidence is stacking up!!! Flat: 1 - Round: 0.
/s

8TB HD is $235
960GB (rounded to 1TB) is $180 (on sale)
 
8 x $180 = $1440
$1440 with no redundant drives meaning if one dies you lose data
4 x $235 = $940 with 3 redundant drives.
 
It's cheaper and you have 3 layers of redundancy HDs are better for mass storage.
 
also you could buy 5 1TB WD greens for the same price as the 960gb SSD.

I'd say a performance balanced drive. It's a WD Blue drive. Sizes available upto 6TB.

Would love to join can't remember my rank off the top of my head and I'm having issues loading the rockstar site.
I'll let you know when the site comes back up for me.
