  1. Ring already has instructions in place if this happens. Good news, they will replace it for free. https://support.ring.com/hc/en...

  2. Re:What does this translate to price per gallon? on Tesla Raises Prices At Its Supercharger Stations · · Score: 4, Informative

    I drive a 2008 Toyota Rav4 (4-Cyl, 2.4 Liter) and track all of my fill ups using Fuelly. Over the past 10 times I filled up I averaged 21.0 MPG and since I started using Fuelly (176 fill ups ago) I have an average of 22.8 MPG.

    Just about every security system I have encountered over the past 5 years has offered this ability.

  4. Re:sorry my phone is off on Feds Walk Into a Building, Demand Everyone's Fingerprints To Open Phones (dailyherald.com) · · Score: 1

    Since my S6 is encrypted I need to enter a password to boot up the phone. After I do that I need to enter another password to get into Android the first time. Once that is done I can use my fingerprint or my watch. It would be cool if there was a way to shut down your phone if the power button was rapidly pushed 5 or so times.

  5. Re:and woe betide you... on HP Says It Made the World's Thinnest Laptop (time.com) · · Score: 1

    I am writing this on an EliteBook 8560w. I love this laptop. I travel constantly for my job, and refuse to get one of these thing laptops for many reasons, the biggest being I am scared it will break because it is not built like a tank.

  6. Re:Isn't this pointless for the average user? on Zimperium Releases Stagefright Detection Tool and Vulnerability Demo Video · · Score: 1

    You can use a program like Textra as your main SMS program. It has security built in to prevent Stagefright.

    I wish I had mod points

  8. Re:Wrong assumptions on Ask Slashdot: Overcoming Convention Hall Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Netgear WNDR3700 is a great router especially when you put DD-WRT firmware on it. DD-WRT made a special firmware JUST for this router which has numerous advanced features. Because it uses the Atheros chipset you can also play with channel size, RTS threshold, etc.

  9. Re:Well... on iPhone Attack Reveals Passwords In Six Minutes · · Score: 1

    I do not see why this is voted -1. Commodore makes a good point about security...

  10. Re:Advice on Review: Halo: Reach · · Score: 1

    I will 2nd this. I am a huge fan of the books and own all of them. Start with Contact Harvest and work your way up from there.

  11. Re:Hackers. on Fears of a Conficker Meltdown Greatly Exaggerated · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    lol same here. I also can not watch CSI or any other show like that on TV. However I will sometimes mutter "Mess with the best, die like the rest" just to see if anyone gets just joke :)

    But my converter box draws current even when not in use!

  13. Re:New ads on Microsoft Uses "I'm a PC" Character In New Ads · · Score: 1

    I actually just saw the ad tonight for the first time and I really liked it. Then again I thought the mugshot on the shoe card was funny as fuck, I guess I'm just easily amused...

  14. At Best Buy? on Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Others Fined Over Digital TV Notices · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised that there are still Best Buys out there that still have analog sets... The only reason I can think of any Best Buy store having an analog TV is if it were one of the oddball TVs that get sent back from service and are marked down to cost simply because they are so old. I will have to check the stock system when I go in tomorrow to see if i can find any Best Buy in my district that still has the old Analog TVs. [quote]The companies fined "willfully and repeatedly violated" the FCC rules, the agency said in a news release.[/quote] This really bothers me considering I know all of the shit we had to do a year and a half ago to et ready for this transition, I also know that we have an advertisement which plays on the Home Theater loop every 15-20 min about analog TV.

  15. Re:I doubt it on The Rush To Patent the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 1

    It matters... Are the lawyers from the RIAA? Do I have the option of using the device on the lawyers if they are?

  16. Re:thats great and all.. on A Congressman Who Can Code Assembly · · Score: 1

    lol, while lolcat gets annoying when you see it used all the time its funny when your not expecting it.

  17. Re:Quick get to work! on Why the Coming Data Flood Won't Drown the Internet · · Score: 1

    no not "high DVD" its "High Density DVD". The clerk at Circuit City told me it weighed more or something like that

  18. Re:people don't understand technology on Switch to Digital Television Picking up Steam · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you visit any best buy you will see a 30 second ad ran every 30 min or so that tells you can get a set top box.... A retail store will also make money off set top boxes you have to remember
