We Made a Raspberry Pi WiFi Radius Guest Code Printer for our Hackerspace by slapplebags in raspberry_pi

You should add a QR code to make it automagically connect to wifi.

Example: http://lifehacker.com/5835743/how-to-share-your-wi-fi-network-with-android-users-with-a-qr-code-and-barcode-scanner

(I know this won't enter the code for them, but that password is pretty gnarly.)

People who get in the exit lanes to zoom past a few cars before stopping and making people wait while they merge back in.

Shadows move as it 'drives by.' So close. ;)

Try also disabling the ability to wake up the computer from the network adapters.

I'm Scott from Scott's Cheap Flights. Here to help find you cheap flights & answer travel questions for the next 7 hours! AMA by scottkeyes in IAmA

[–]stridera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I'm going to Cuba in a few months and I need to get tickets. How do you suggest handing multi-leg spots. (Fly to miami, stay there a couple nights, fly to cuba, stay there, and fly back to SF.)

Also, I see cheaper flights if I connect in mexico. Anyone have experience connecting in mexican airports? Would it be easier for me to fly back to the U.S. and connect from there?

Do VR videos look blurry to you on a pixel? by sweeny5000 in daydream

[–]stridera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download a really high quality video and it'll look fine. As other's have said, youtube vr isn't the best for getting HD video where you're looking.

Wonder why the YW budget is always less than the YM budget by happy_apostate in exmormon

What about the women side? We don't know if/how much they're paid, right?

Westworld and the Imitation Game: Can Machines Think? by _happiecat in TheHappieMakers

[–]stridera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good stuff. I remember the chatbot rage back in the day and people trying to prank each other with it. The annotated Turing doc will be good to read. Good video.

How to really piss off the TBM in the office by dudleydidwrong in exmormon

[–]stridera 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was raised Mormon but left before doing anything in the temple beyond baptisms for the dead. I saw some pictures with George Bush doing The Handshake so I did it with someone of my TBM friends. Never seen them so angry. Once they became aware that I didn't really know what it was from, they just told me to never do it again if I valued our friendship. Very touchy bunch...

Waterjet can cut through anything with amazing precision by AdamE89 in interestingasfuck

[–]stridera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ever used a waterjet, that would scare you more than you'd know. The water has garnet (or some similar sand like particles) that would shoot throughout your body and pretty much destroy you.

Lots of horror stories about the beam hitting a bone (heh heh) and shooting down the arm and the whole arm needs to be amputated.

If you don't have good wood, it's going to go very quick.

Can we not talk about the Book 3 leak here? by stridera in KingkillerChronicle

[–]stridera[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite right. My bad. OSC is the one with all the anti-gay stuff that I don't approve.. so yeah, Enders Game. Been a while.

Can we not talk about the Book 3 leak here? by stridera in KingkillerChronicle

[–]stridera[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid point. I've always considered this community for Pat and his works. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

Can we not talk about the Book 3 leak here? by stridera in KingkillerChronicle

[–]stridera[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. For me, the author is a big part of the work. I guess I can understand the separation though. I loved the Shannara series but have little respect for Orson Scott Card. Guess they make a valid point. I just heard Pat's comments and thought I would bring them to the community whom he felt wronged by.

[–]stridera[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I agree, but he asked us not to spread it and take it down. If we want to retain a good relationship with the author, we should respect his wishes. At least in a forum that's dedicated to him.

Leaked Documents for Book 3 by [deleted] in KingkillerChronicle

[–]stridera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you consider removing this? Pat has spent the last twenty minutes on stream talking about how hurt he feels that his fans could betray his trust and release information he feels deeply private and personal about.

While I understand that this is the internet and there is little expectations for privacy, this is also a forum that exists to celebrate his work and him as an author. I feel we're betraying that trust and respect by having this information here.

Auto Shut off when idle login screen by t-a-bra in windows

[–]stridera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only does this while idle? If you login, you can use it at full power (play games) with no problems? Is it a standard windows shutdown? My first guess was a hardware issue, but if it works normally when logged in, maybe not.

Thirty seconds later you run out of the house with melted plastic covering your face screaming, "the guard, it does nothing!"

Maybe it's just different walks of life, but I would have loved something like that when I was a kid.
