    Thailand: 12 teenagers lost in cave, 9 days now. Say a prayer, please

    If they do have to stay in there until October then the more engineers they have the better. They'll need to keep pumping water out, and air in. At least these Space X guys will have access to expensive machines that can make custom parts.

    Thailand: 12 teenagers lost in cave, 9 days now. Say a prayer, please

    I have trained as far as diver rescue. I can't see that the boys will be able to dive/swim out under their own steam. The are in a weakened physical state, and even a fit and healthy adult would find such a long dive quite exhausting, even the coldness of the water drains energy fast. But...

    VPNFilter Attacks Home Routers

    Yes, seems many routers are running Linux. It's possible to do some clever stuff like mesh networking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commotion_Wireless

    VPNFilter Attacks Home Routers

    There's more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPNFilter They say resetting a router to factory defaults would wipe it, and that not using the default password for your router makes it less likely to become infected.

    I've gotta find Patti a new laptop...HELP!

    Tablets that come with Android installed have ARM processors not x86 processors, and AFAIK Mint does not support ARM processors. Personally, I don't really understand the need to it running Mint. It shouldn't really matter what's under the hood if it does want you want very well. $1000 is a...

    I've gotta find Patti a new laptop...HELP!

    Does it have to be a laptop? Personally, I'd go for a tablet if I just wanted to surf the web, send emails and watch movies.

    Are Digital Miners Forcing GPU Prices to Increase?

    That's why they build these mining setups in Iceland, free cooling and cheap renewable electricity. But, I don't think Iceland can cope with anymore electrical demand. Worldwide mining is consuming about the same amount of power as a small country.

    Are Digital Miners Forcing GPU Prices to Increase?

    I built a cheap miner a few years back just for fun, to see how it all worked. Spent about $100 on the hardware, and sold what little bitcoin I had mined for about $200 when the price was high. Not so bad, for something that I though was almost worthless. Not all that sold on the idea in...

    Are Digital Miners Forcing GPU Prices to Increase?

    Not sure if they really sell the cards on? Not seen that myself. If you have a big farm mining one type of coin, and that starts to become to hard for your GPUs you'd probably be inclined to switching them to mining some other coin that is easier to mine. Seems they don't stop mining no matter...

    Lost my cooling pump on my box

    The Alexa on the Fire TV remote is not so bad because you have to press a mic button to speak to it. It's not listening all the time.
