Comment on Paywave is a bad idea. by Mr Beer

My bank (Peoples Choice, otherwise known as Savings and Loans) attempted to pull this shit on me this morning, which has resulted in the immediate destruction of my *new* card and an abusive contact with the institution itself. They’ve however, completely abandoned the original card format and are forcing everyone onto the RFID enabled cards. Stood at the counter, telling the teller how the system has already been compromised and she’s looking at me like I’m an idiot. As a result of this, I am in the process of procuring the right hardward and intend on ‘Occupying’ the bank for a few hours a day, gathering a fair bit of customer data and then publishing it. If anyone reading this is a customer of Savings and Loans (Peoples Choice CU), I suggest you avoid the Noarlunga branch for a few months.

Comment on A good surge board will save you money by Frank

I think an important item to look at when choosing a surge board is the clamping voltage.
It is simple really. Choose the lowest clamping voltage you can find. The lowest I have seen is 275 volts and most I looked at were about 680 volts.
Computers are supposed to run at 240V, however we all Know that currently Electricity is all over the place. When the Voltage gets to 280, 290 300, electrical components start to blow or deteriorate thus reducing their life. Clamping the voltage as low as possible allows the surge protector to prevent the Voltage reaching the stages that cause damage to your hardware. Basically increasing the life or your computer and protecting your data.
Hope this is helpful.

Your right if you need a ups as battery backup this may be of interest.

The primary role of a UPS is to maintain power in the event of a power outage but a UPS is not surge protection. If a major surge came down the line it would essentially ‘cook’ the UPS motherboard obviously rendering it unable to do its job. The best advice is to plug the UPS into a quality surge protector and printers, switches, hubs etc into the other banks of the board, this way everything is protected including the UPS (so it can do its job).

Hi Lionel,

If you are moving from one hard drive to another, it’s a good idea to deauthorise the old one after you move it. You will normally have to reauthorise on the new hard drive.

What about transferring from old HDD to new HDD on same computer? Is anything different? Do you still have to deauthorise?
