    NCIX data breach. plain text info sold on craigslist.

    NCIX is a Canadian computer/electronics retailer. kind of like tiger direct. they went bankrupt earlier this year. it's likely most people here in the states might not have bought from them ever. i know i didnt. but still news worthy and crazy that they didnt even encrypt their files.

    everything is cheaper in china. except real western name brand products lol. then they're like 30% more expensive than here. but "services" are all cheap.

    NCIX data breach. plain text info sold on craigslist.

    LMG was NEVER owned or operated by NCIX. not appropriate to call it ex-NCIX. the founder of LMG, Linus, was an employee of NCIX, and he was tasked with creating the NCIX Tech Tips channel, which he did. Linus decided to branch off and start his own channel, not operated by NCIX at all, called...

    so i may have solved my BT/Wifi issue. the problem i was having was essentially that wifi speeds were becoming extremely slow when BT was also paired. PX5 based unit. sold by Xtrons, TB706APL. (a 7" double din unit, but all of these units are very similar) I decided to take my unit apart and...

    My new 2010 Subaru WRX

    the ISO plug is just a standardized car audio plug i think. the harness on the unit itself comes with an ISO plug on the end. then you just buy an adapter from your car's plug to ISO and mayybe need to wire up a couple things (in my case i had to manually wire in an illumination wire, antenna...

    Fixing a flickering LED display

    The problem is that I do not want or need a whole round gauge for this. I prefer the small LED readout. And literally NO ONE offers that anymore (except this) This WB unit costs like $130 (with sensor). And the Trinket was like $10. The manufacturer even sent me a replacement unit to try...

    Fixing a flickering LED display

    So I figured I'd share a little side project I've been working on. props to @awptickes for help along the way. My car has a Wideband AFR sensor with controller and 3-digit, 7-segment LED display. The controller can output 3 different signals for use. analog 0-5V wideband, analog 0-1V...

    it says right on the card that its a GTX 780... and it wont be any more of an oven than a regular PC. it has access to fresh air right through the side vent and is sectioned off from the heat of the rest of the system on the other side. that particular case was a kickstarter last year, but...

    Built My First Gaming Pc

    that's not even a SFF case LOL. that's basically an enclosed benching station. good cases though. i just don't like the footprint. takes up more space on or under a desk than a regular midsize case would. has a ton of space for HDDs though if you're trying to use it as a file server. if you...

    "full" or "mid" ATX is irrelevant. ATX form factor specs 7 PCI expansion slots and most cases will only have 7. the way your MB is, you need an "8th" slot for a dual size card. some cases have it, some cases dont. but its not true to the ATX form factor. just be mindful of it.
