Previous one was HDD, and they come with a half inch super soft rubber isolation all around the hard drive. current one that I throw regularly is an SSD.
I do and I pay $3500 for it. Panasonic toughbook. I can beat someone to death with it and it will still work perfectly. I have thrown it 15 feet into the back of a pickup truck without worry just to freak out guys on the worksite.
And the US military agrees with me as they use toughbooks.
Outside of battery life they are not important. I have all my laptops set to run full boat with zero throttling when on AC power.
Those of us that do real work on a laptop plug in anyways, would it be nice to run 24 hours on battery? sure, but I am always within a few feet of a plug, so it's just catering to the lazy that are so feeble and worn out from carrying a 1 pound laptop to get out the power brick and plug it in.
Please barista, bring me another latte before I expire! Have woe on me for my bag has 8 pounds in it and I shall perish if I have to move....
Step 1 go to the CTO's office and kick him square in the nuts. Go to the CIO's office and do the same. While you are kicking them in the nuts keep repeating.. "quit being a dumbass and stop saying BYOD. BYOD is a security hole and I will kick you in the nuts until we stop this stupid policy.
Step 2 once they see the light, go to the CEO's office and repeat.
So tell me where you can get weather tight USB cameras that will work on a 60 foot long cable run. If you really want to roll your own, get raspberryPi's and the camera modules. and write your own software for them as network cameras. that way you know what is running on them.
I have several 1080P Onvif china security cameras that are known to send video back to China. it is trivial to make these 100% secure and hacker proof disabling all backdoors if you have education and knowledge.
At home, I can see people having the problem as 99% of all citizens are IT Uneducated. but a business? there is ZERO excuse.
I put them on their own VLAN separate from everything else, they can only talk to the recorder PC and that PC can talk to both networks so we can view the camera streams. Camera VLAN has zero access to the internet, Recording PC that is straddling two networks has simple rules as well to prevent data leaking.
And this is the sad part. Most businesses don't have competent IT that even has the first clue about network security. Plus you should ALWAYS have no trust for any device on your network. Treat them all as hostile and only let them have what is needed to do what you want.
Businesses that don't spend money on IT that is competent deserve what they get.
I would love it to be ip addresses, but I want cellphones to be forced to allow me to do address blocks and wildcard blocking.
The fact that I cant on my cellphone put in 1800* to block every single 800 number from calling my phone is stupid. the phones can do it, why the hell doesnt google bake this into the damn os?
Why the hell are they talking to? not one person out there expects or wants this.
My cellphone does more than ANYTHING the car makers can come up with. What I want is the car to use fully open and well documented standards that my devices can easily pull information from.
Easily done with slackware. in fact most slackware installs rarely stay with the stock kernel beyond installation. you compile a custom one for your use and gain dramatic speed increases.
Yeah, they tried that. I then threw the VP under the bus with the CTO by emailing him the chain of evidence where the VP tried to cover his ass by saying he didn't, but my emails and the audio recording of the conference calls where he authorized the purchase of the wrong equipment said otherwise.
Works great to keep all email and all communications, that's how you make your bus big enough to run over a VP without even disturbing your beer.
Waste oil burning heaters are very simple and easy. you can easily use this stuff and burn it cleanly to generate power, hot water, or even just heat for a building.
"Also if you are to point blame you need to be professional about it, and make sure it isn't too sharp of a point."
Nope, I'm old enough to stop caring about this, if a manager fucked things up so that a project failed, I will not only call him out but also throw him under the bus and sick the dogs on his body.
Pieces of crap that single handedly destroyed a project with their ineptitude have no right to stay employed and it's the rest of us that need to make sure they burn for their deeds.
Really? I dont have any torrenting going on and I see lots of data use at night while computers and devices pull software updates. home automation and security cameras as well.
Maybe back in 1999 when everyone owned one computer only they turned off at night this was the case, but today you have a constant data use stream on the internet with all the phones, tablets, smart watches, security, cameras, etc all pull updates at night and pull data streams for information updates.
I would LOVE uverse... But your refuse to build out the fiber to cover the city. Instead you stopped 5 years ago just outside of town and have done nothing at all since.
If you want more Uverse subscribers, freaking build it out so that people can actually have it as a choice.
If you work more than 40 hours, and you dont own the business you are trying to build, then it's because you are accepting the bullshit your employer feeds you. if you have so much work you cant get it done in 8 hours a day 5 days a week, then they need to hire more people. You instead by working all kinds of free overtime tell your boss, "i am your slave, please abuse me".
Way too many workers are too stupid or lack the backbone to tell their boss, "no, I will not give up my life because you are an asshole and refuse to hire the workers needed"
When more do this, the problem of companies and bosses abusing the workers will go away.
Yep. Do not feel bad about blocking all ad's. until the ad's are no longer laced with malware, feel good about blocking every bit if that crap.
Boo hoo website admin... you don't deserve any ad revenue if you are using doubleclick or other ad serving companies. you want ad supported revenue, then get off your lazy asses and get your advertisers yourself and host your ad's locally.

Or just read the associated press feed raw without all the spin the channels add to it.

Mini Nukes and a Fat Boy launcher...... PLEASE!
Honestly who uses Trend Micro? every single company I have been to uses Eset NOD32 or the less IT educated companies use the McAfee corporate garbage.

It's their new system that is hacker proof. Every person using a military computer will have one of these with them

This is why I have a bottle of good Whiskey in my drawer at work...
Well that and the fact that I have to sometimes drink at the office to deal with some of the idiots in management.
Yes. CEO you get paid handsomely when you destroy the business, you get paid handsomely when you don't do anything, etc....
Yeah, 7% is bullshit. we need a 35% to make up for the decade of not getting ANY increases.
It hasn't. there is ZERO reason to have cable TV or satellite TV anymore.
Even the sports wierdows can watch it online with far better coverage than what the TV channels deliver.

You are HILARIOUS.
Advertisers choose internet over TV and Radio because of only one reason, INTERNET ADS ARE INSANELY CHEAP.
There is no other reason.
No really, Not trolling.
