    How can I figure out which account was hacked?

    Well I can provide an article showing they are now hiring the best security experts to stay in front of the cyber terrorism problem. But I'm not convinced that their new hiring methods are anything more than yet another expensive, ineffective bandaid. To sum up the article, the Navy wants to...

    Most Important Invention/Discovery

    There are some lengthy explanations (45min + videos on youtube) but here's a concise 1min video to illustrate the general concept. Not just National Banks, but every bank, your bank down the street, creates money every time they fund a loan with money that doesn't exist. It all adds up on...

    How can I figure out which account was hacked?

    Ok folks, my own independent research uncovered the following: When hackers hack a website (ex: twitter, electronics forum, Sony, Experian, etc.) they either sell the account info (incl. password) on the black market or they post it publicly (on a paste site like pastebin.com usually) to gloat...

    Most Important Invention/Discovery

    Yes, creating something from nothing and charging interest on the something, thereby taking away something you created out of labor. And all the while reserving the right to take away that something that you worked for if you don't replace the something they created out of nothing.

    How can I figure out which account was hacked?

    that was on my phone, generated by the official facebook app. I tried logging into facebook from my PC as well and was given the same error. It is legit. https://www.forbes.com/sites/amitchowdhry/2014/10/22/how-facebook-finds-out-if-your-passwords-were-stolen/#1922d63e1d39

    How can I figure out which account was hacked?

    Facebook kicked me offline and gave me this message: I've already changed my password and my passwords on all my other critical accounts. I'm now using a different password on every website/account, each a string of random characters. But I would like to know what account was hacked exactly...

    How do I watch Video available on Amazon Prime over a slow DSL line?

    I'm not clear on what you're asking. Are you asking about buffering from typical streaming content providers like Netflix/Hulu/Amazon and downloading the buffered content to storage media? If so, then I am not aware of there being any option to do this. In my experience, these streaming...

    Windows 10 Fear and Loathing

    I guess nobody like me (and the last few posters) who woke up one morning to find their computer(s) had been forcefully updated. I run a lot of cantankerous legacy software that isn't compatible with newer OSs or even newer service packs of older OSs. I turn windows updates off when I get a new...

    Should i buy Watt Meter (aka killawatt) or regular Clamp on meter to determine the device wattage?

    Get the killawatt. It gives you a lot of info that a clamp meter doesn't, it costs less, and you don't have to hack into your device cords to clamp around a single conductor.

    strange behavior from home appliances

    My TV remote went missing last week; chief suspect is the dog. The wife reports that the phantoms disappeared with the remote. I find it hard to fault the remote since I saw it happen with the batteries out of the remote, though I suppose the remote could have had some capacitive charge...

    RPC cuts power bill?

    Sounds like you guys got the short end of the mobile broadband stick. Over here I have not yet had any problem with putting a SIM card in whatever I want. Last year I did a job involving a lot of remote monitoring and troubleshooting of industrial machines. I used Proxicast PocketPorts with...

    RPC cuts power bill?

    You're telling me that the usage data transmitted back to the utility company is in units of £/$ and not in kWH? That seems very unintuitive. Why would it be done that way? Does each house have a different deal on their electric rate? If so, does the meter man have to come out and reprogram your...

    RPC cuts power bill?

    I didn't see any of that in the thread. 4 people came forward and claimed first hand experience slowing the power meter with a RPC. That's the only reason I posted this. Their stories contradict what I believe to be possible, but there were enough of them to make me question my understanding...
