    Source: https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=Ti%2FYleaJNSl%2BTR5mL5C0WQ%3D%3D&fcc_id=2ABCB-RPI32 && https://fccid.io/2ABCB-RPI32 First looks at the RPI3: Unsure of the exact operating specs, I'd hope there...

    Anyone running solar powered stuff at home?

    Where at? Any particular brands or just... eBay Chinese stuff? All my 100watt panels are from Renogy, and my future ones will be as well. Can probably get them cheaper, can certainly get them more expensive, but Renogy seems like a good company and I doubt they'll be going belly up anytime...

    The 2016 (USA) Presidential Election Thread

    I swear, with some people they'd rather you come out and say you support Bill Cosby or Jared Fogle before they'd want to hear you say you support Trump. So Trump won South Carolina last night, and every single republican candidate who won both New Hampshire and South Carolina went on to get...

    Anyone running solar powered stuff at home?

    What were you running on that 20watt panel / 9AH battery setup? Haven't crunched the numbers but I'd reckon that'd power a raspberry Pi or such without issue.

    Weather from the Commandline by Igor Chubin

    Nah, I like my weather and measurements made in freedom units.

    DOJ vs. Apple over Terrorist Phone

    Yeah, John McAfee said he'd due it for free. Just give him a hotel room, some bath salts, some cocaine to level him out from all the bath salts and a few hookers and he'll get it done. Or hand it over back to the feds with it wiped, haha. :P Now that's... something. I had not...

    DOJ vs. Apple over Terrorist Phone

    Unpopular opinion I am about to express, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask for assistance in recovering data from the phone of someone (a terrorist) who killed.... what was, it? Fourteen people. The FBI already has a warrant and permission from the owner of the phone, which happened to...

    Anyone running solar powered stuff at home?

    Looks nice and quiet there. Curious though, are you in an apartment? (Was wondering about mounting options) I had to go and take the snow brush to my panels the other day. Luckily it's that time of year where it's in the 70's one day, and the next week we get 4" of snow that melts a few days...

    Anyone running solar powered stuff at home?

    Yeah, it seems that way. Keep in mind everything is in the basement and I have to go outside and enter the basement from my backyard... old house, built in the 1870's... so it's not something I do or check on daily. Well the wind idea was more for shits and gigs than it was for anything...

    Anyone running solar powered stuff at home?

    Yeah, trying to be more efficient with gear I buy and gear I already have in regards to how I use it. I turn things off when not at home (gasp) and try to be reasonable even when I am home (Hey, why is the kitchen light still on?) The same company has the same battery with free shipping, but...

    Adblocking goes Mobile - Entire Wireless Network Now to be AD FREE *!

    That's pretty neat, and while some ads are of course annoying and intrusive when they cover and hinder your ability to access content I don't think ads should be irradiated in full. That's a good quote, and I think a better thing to do would be to do just that: Not charge customers for data...

    The gun thread

    @Aldryic C'boas nice collection you have there. I figured I should update this as well. Boy, do I have wood! No, really: Bought some wood grips for my 4566 last year, almost forgot about it since they had to come all the way from Turkey and took forever... They're beautiful, and I'm...

    Anyone running solar powered stuff at home?

    Solar stuff is still going strong. Even when the panels were covered in snow and the sun hadn't shined in days, I kept powering some small stuff with them until the batteries started to deplete. My inverter powers off automatically when the battery bank voltage hits 11.4 volts which I like...

    The cesspit / chat thread.

    Woop, the weather is finally nice outside! Short lived, that's for sure. But Spring is around the corner. For now I'll enjoy my 64 degree day!

    FREE domain (for WHMCS license holders)

    Expensive renewal indeed, and will probably be mainly used by spammy kiddy hosts anyway. Say what you want, but .com and .net are still king and just look better from a consumer's standpoint.

    Facts I've Learned About Trying to Quit Smoking

    Not a fan of e-cigs and vaping in general. People think that just because they quit smoking physical tobacco that they're better off. I mean, I'm sure it's good to not smell like rancid smoke anymore and to not be breathing in the harsh carcignens associated with any burning plant material but...

    India's National sub $4 quad core Android Smartphone

    Heck, it'd probably work well for me. I hardly use any 'smart' features of my phone as it is. When my Galaxy S3 died, which was my first smart phone ever as some of you may recall (I held out forever), I decided I'd just replace it with another S3. Specs seem reasonable for using it as a...
