    What is one movie that should never be remade?

    Yes they wouldn't make sense due to how sensitive people are today. Mel jabbed at every culture though.

    10,000 Genkis Khan cavalry vs 1 Abrams Tank: Who wins?

    It's hard to express sarcasm, isn't it? But 1930s sounds about right. Real life scenarios paint a different picture don't they? Amazing how all those "highly trained" LEOs were shooting at this "killdozer". Have to wonder today, if this happened, how it would be handled.

    Spaceballs. Any Mel Brooks film for that matter.

    10,000 Genkis Khan cavalry vs 1 Abrams Tank: Who wins?

    Shove a friable rock (mica) in the barrels so they bust wide open on discharge like bananas. Indiana Jones did it on a horse! That backflash/port gas is going to hurt someone inside. Attacking the drive wheels with harder metallic laden minerals will slow things down until it's immobilized...

    Ad blockers are biting the dust

    You need to turn if off for that site to work. It works fine with ublock origin and the page is devoid of all unwanted graffiti. ;) It tends to be and is configurable so upload speed is measured as well. Depending on your ISP's agreement with Netflix CDN peering, it may show higher speeds and...

    Apple A12 & A12X *** Now A12Z as well *** Now in a Mac mini

    A12X is two years old. Z doesn't really change much. I have to wonder if there is going to be an A13X or will they just leapfrog 13 (lucky 13?) and go straight for A14X. I have an iPad Pro 2018 and its performance is amazing. The only phone that can match its screen fluidity is my S20 Ultra...

    Ad blockers are biting the dust

    Smart choice. Surfing the web on a "wide open" system these days is truly scary. It's like living in the middle of nowhere and being able to see the Milky Way every clear night and then one day visiting a friend in a big city and looking up at a clear sky and seeing yellow everywhere! All the...

    I use script blocker ultimate and can toggle blocking on and off at a whim, works great for those pop under messages asking to whitelist.

    Ad blockers are biting the dust

    Firefox with ublock origin works well and never see youtube ads anywhere. On my phone (android 10) I use youtube vanced and it does the same, never an ad. The mid video ads are the worst especially if you're watching a music video and have it cranked. There is no fade cut, no warning it just...

    Anyone familiar with Mattress cooling options?

    If you don't mind hardness, an air hockey table may tickle your fantasies! :P Thinking about tiny holes with air blowing out of them (air hockey table) it would be neat to have a mattress that had thousands of tiny capillaries carrying hot or cold air depending on season to make you...

    Massive dust cloud headed this way

    I did glance over it but the first sentence has a clickbait tenure typical of the times. "Just when we thought that 2020 couldn’t come up with any more crazy headlines, try this one on for size. " Just as Doom Monger points out with sarcasm regarding so called "murder hornets". :D I get it...

    Would you buy a motherboard, if you knew it was 3rd-tier down on the Buildzoid VRM list?

    Depends if overclocking or not. Most spend more for feature set. A strong, well designed VRM isn't going to make things peachy if you skimp on your PSU, that's for sure!

    Massive dust cloud headed this way

    More media sensationalism that means squat for the average person. SAL activity and dust drift is quite normal this time of year and the dry layer is like cancer to formation of tropical cyclones. People living on the southeast coast and gulf should be happy. And for those in the Caribbean and...

    Question How would you store vast amounts of data in your basement?

    The 16TB Exos and Ironwolf Pro are very similar drives. There is noise but the drive(s) are in a rack full of POE switches and 1U servers so TBH I can't hear anything over that racket! As for data, yeah there's typically a 60 day retention policy and then it gets purged. Footage that's been...

    Boiling water via usb port

    The power output of a USB port can certainly boil water! Not by resistance heating or using a thermoelectric pile... However, if you put the water in a sealed vessel and used a small pump that ran on 5V 1A power, it could evacuate the air to the point where the water would boil furiously...at...

    How would you set up a defense of your home from an angry mob of looters

    This always cracks me up. Yes in 1984 40 watts CW was a lot of power AND was typically only seen in industrial/medical systems. Today, hobbyists are making portable lasers putting out several times that amount! Even though it's quite dangerous, they can only pop balloons and burn holes in...

    Question How would you store vast amounts of data in your basement?

    30-50GB a day is nothing! Our 10 camera NVR saves 300GB per day. We just use Seagate Exos 16TB drives. FreeNAS on a repurposed server is cheap and ZFS works well.

    How would you set up a defense of your home from an angry mob of looters

    Moat full of jellyfish, stonefish on the bottom and a bullshark or two. Non lethal claymores with polystyrene fleshettes (tiny darts unlike their lethal brethren, will definitely put 'em in the world of pain zone!) Hornet/wasp sound like a good idea but deployment is difficult to carry out. You...

    Using 220-volt hot pot in USA. Can I swap cord thing w/ one from a 120-volt grill?

    A purely resistive load as demonstrated in that video above will run perfectly fine but at approximately half the wattage. No harm done. There is a youtuber by the name of Photonic Induction that shows what happens when you go the other way, sometimes pushing way more voltage! It's...

    How easy is it for some random person to break into your computer?

    It's amazing this day and age the number of users that browse the web with absolutely no restrictions on scripts and advertising getting routed directly to their machines. And the convenience factor, i.e. no passwords or ridiculously simple passwords. Some don't even like the inconvenience of...

    What song will blow your speakers?

    They are most likely HPF'd. This is like the subsonic filter button on a stereo. It prevents that amplifier and speakers from getting frequencies they were not designed to reproduce in the first place. A good "high fidelity" amp will have no such nonsense and essentially be able to amplify...

    What song will blow your speakers?

    This makes all the doors and windows rattle like an earthquake! But if your speakers can't handle it, you will hear fart noises. And the beginning of Edge of Tomorrow has some big sine waves. Good cans/sub/amps *required*

    Radeon VII Viable Now?

    Been using this for a few days. It's a beast! The fans at idle are nearly silent (outside of a case they are inaudible). When under load and the fans start to speed up there is a weird noise, almost sounds like coil whine. I believe it may be a PCM driver / harmonics. It soon disappears as the...

    16TB Seagate Exos HDD - $387.55 @Provantage

    Definitely NOT SMR drives, and price is OK. I would check to ensure Seagate actually honors the warranty though. I bought these from Amazon and the Seagate Warranty check indicated that they were sold as part of a system and warrantied by the OEM. So if the drive fails (and lots of these do...

    Radeon VII Viable Now?

    I can get this card barely used for $450. Not doing gaming on it, would be for content creation (editing audio/video, etc.) Maybe some 3D work/rendering. Also Prime Grid DC stuff. Would be paired up to a 3970X. The other option is a 2080ti but this looks to be better for gaming which I have no...

    Question Will Tiger Lake be Intel's Core2Duo of 2020?

    Conroe was when I switched from AMD (FX60) to Core2Duo then Core2Quad in late 2006. Those G0 Q6600s were amazing pieces some doing 3.6GHz at stock voltage bouncing off 100C with stock cooler in coretemp when running Prime95 never missing a beat. Running such a program on 3990X will dim the...
