    YEAH! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK MATE!?

    That's some bullshit right there.

    I'm getting sick and tired of these fucking fat cats destroying America, sending jobs over seas and trying to control everyone and while trying to gain power in government. WHEN WILL PEOPLE WAKE THE FUCK UP?! I try to convince people that protest, petitions and political voting doesn't work. They are too large for that, and violence is the only answer to these problems, a coup d'tat in essence, it's the only logical outcome.

    Lucky for me I use D-link switches and pfsense.

        DD-WRT for the win!

        Agreed that America is going south... Half the people are too ignorant, the other half can't find common ground. Add the fact that congress acts like a bunch of screaming 2-year-olds and cannot comprimise to get anything done (The REAL political problem) and you have the CF that America is in.

        Edit- The fact that they will can someone's account over Porn is BS. Unless it's rape, animal, and/or kiddie porn, it's 100% legal (if you are over 18). Same for the offensive content clause, thats's also a 1st amendment breach. Screw Cisco, buy netgear (and DD-WRT what you already own).

              something isn't right about that......

              every single router or switch we use in the FAA is Cisco. most of it has no access to the outside world. maybe the gubermint is exempt????

                So far it is only certain models of Linksys home routers that are affected not Cisco enterprise/commercial equipment.

                I doubt Cisco would attempt such a thing with enterprise equipment as they would lose massive amounts of customers since I don't know of many companies that would allow such access of potentially sensitive information on their networks, and the US Gov. would never allow such a thing on their networks.

                Cisco probably figures that they can get away with it on the consumer side believing that most consumers are too ignorant to know or understand what is going on or simply don't care as long as their router works. Sadly they might be right here, the sheer number of people who still leave their wifi unsecured speaks volumes to the average user's lack of concern for information security.

                  Holy shit. Not that I'd ever buy, or recommend a Linksys device (even if there's a Cisco sticker over the Linksys name) that's unfrigginbelieveable.

                    thats a real load of shit right there!
                    and it all started with lexmark lexpps spyware that trys to sell ink at inflated prices and iirc dlink routers with adware.
                    glad i have been grabbing used routers known to work with tomato and dd-wrt.
                    i dont think anyone i i know is running stock firmware on their router.
                    too bad all the sheeple wont know any better.
                    and the cloud can go to hell for all i care.

                        I'm glad I still have my trusty 802.11b Netgear router serving me. Don't think it's capable of spying on me, even with its stock firmware ;-) .

                          i'm more worried about uverse. they have some proprietary shit and you CAN'T use your own router (well you could forward everything to it, but it would still require at&t's). they can do whatever they want with it, and if you say disagree, no net, tv, phone

                              DD-WRT would be great for selectable dual-band routers (they don't seem to be of much use these days without DD-WRT) being turned into a bridge for clients with wired Ethernet without wireless networking (or to give those with wired Ethernet and 2.4GHz-only wireless networking capability access to 5GHz wireless networks)
                              My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

                                  by Mgiffune
                                  I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

                                  I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and

                                  Hello guys,

                                  I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

                                  I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

                                  Are there good brands for 'run capacitors' or 'start capacitors' that are used on electric motors or heat pump compressors? ... r are the good capacitor brands for electronics (power supplies, laptops, motherboards, etc.) also the good brands for run capacitors?
                                  Yeah I know this might be a novice question, but I just wanted to be sure. I did do a search on the forum but did not see this question asked before.

                                  I did a cell salvage run on some Dyson batteries to build out a new fleet of Milwaukee batteries and the yield was a lot higher than expected, so I now have a lot of extra Sony VTC4s that are in reasonably good health. I'd like to build them into power banks, there's a glut of shells for 18650s on AliExpress but I don't know which are any good (read: won't explode). Can anyone recommend some (especially the ones that just fit a single cell)? Weld or weldless are fine, I have a spot welder

                                  I suppose USB-PD and/or quick charge would be desirable too
