    NFC/RFID Authentication Flow

    Our facility just got upgraded with new door readers that can use NFC through cards or phones to grant access. I'd like to also use cards or phones to provide authentication to our instrument use system. Could anyone direct me to information on how I would securely set this up? We were provided...

    What was the forum drama going on when you joined?

    Since it's my join anniversary I thought i post a related question. I remember the wounded monitor children. Can you imagine paying those prices for a CRT today? I also remember Dennilfloss' shenanagins. What do you all recall?

    Who's interested in the new Mustang SUV?

    IDK, I don't think mustang + SUV makes much sense myself. https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/14/20964592/ford-mustang-mach-e-electric-suv-name-reservation-price

    Handling Issue

    My 87 Tercel seems to lean into turns more than it should. Is this a shock issue or springs? The car doesn't bounce around. I can find replacement shocks, but not the springs.

    EVGA 850G Woes

    I purchased this PSU about a year ago and it worked flawlessly until one day last month my system just shut off and would not come back on. I tested it outside of the system and confirmed it was dead. It was still under warranty (5 yr) and EVGA cross shipped a refurb unit. I popped it in and...

    Rotor/hub issue

    The 68 Ford front disc is suppose to be a pain due its uniqueness for that year. However, it's supposed to be a separate hub and rotor. However looking at my rotor/hub... I don't know if the wrong ones were on it, or if these are pressed together somehow. If pressed, I don't know how to get them...

    How should I setup my exhaust with these headers?

    My head pipe is rusting through... so I thought I may as well put some headers on. I've always wanted to. Here's a link to them: http://www.jegs.com/i/Hooker-Headers/520/6130-3/10002/-1 The collector tube size is 3" should I stay with that size or go down to 2.5" for the rest of the...

    Managed not to explode this weekend...

    ... I consider it a success! <blog> I decided to try and tackle the fuel sending unit in my 68 Ford XL. It stopped working years ago, and it I'm tired of guessing how much fuel is in it. Originally I was just going to replace it with a 'new' unit. Although they go for around ~$90, so I was...

    Timing Belt Time!

    Getting ready to replace the timing belt on my 87 Tercel, so I'm starting to collect the necessary parts. Anyone have a recommendation for timing belt brand? The dayco one Autozone has for $22 is about $8 at rock auto, though there are tons of other options on rock auto. Some are for...

    R12 to 134a conversion or other options

    It's hot. I've been thinking about converting over my Tercel's AC system. Currently it needs a charge, but the components appear to 'work' (just not very cold). If I do convert I'd like to do it the right way. Evacuate and flush the system, new oil and dryer, etc. However, I'm not sure what to...

    'Wet' Brake Shoes

    Wheel cylinder on the rear of my 68 ford started leaking. The pads aren't very warn, but I'm probably going to replace them anyway since they're covered in brake fluid. Is this the best idea? Or can I just clean them off and reuse?

    Is it normal to hear SSDs?

    My new computer has a Samsung 64 GB SSD and when there's a lot of activity I can hear it. It's actually more annoying than a normal hard drive since it's at such a high pitch.

    This build look okay?

    I think it's time to upgrade my Athlon XP 2200+ system; Netflix videos are maxing out my cpu with HD off. I actually put together 2 systems for work similar to this one recently. However, the mobo was micro ATX. There seems to be a lot less choice for std ATX with the H67 chipsets. I'd like...

    Should I replace my old tires?

    The Firestone tires on my Ford have a date code of 027 (2nd week of 97), should I replace them? I don't do any highway driving, just drive around town occasionally.

    Dual core, dual processor + PSU and memory for under $1,000?

    It's been a long time since I built a system... I need to build one to run calculations, but I'll use most of the parts I can from a current system. The current machine has an Intel E6300 1.8Ghz, so the new system should be at least twice as fast. Any suggestions?

    I guess some things really do never change...

    I'm browsing some digital archives of old newspapers online and while reading one, I see a classified ad that is so much like some modern ones, it's a bit eerie. Keep in mind this paper was printed May 8, 1876:

    The cheap USB cables seem to be just as good!

    Just got a Canon Pixma MP760 and purchased 3 USB 2.0 cables from www.svideo.com for $5.10 shipped. Well, printing seems to work okay, but when I try to scan I get all kinds of errors. Usually it will just hang. I've tried using a shorter usb cable that came with my external harddrive. It worked...

    SUVs are for OFFROAD!!!

    One real peeve I have is with people that think "SUVs" are somehow a "large commuter car" option. Its a nice smooth road and they drive with their four wheel drive on. They think THATS what they were made for? Sport utilities are just that, for sport and off road! This seems to be a real...

    Power supply just blew up

    How often do you check to see if your genitals are still there?

    I have OCD about this. I check several times an hour. Sometimes even seconds after I just checked that it was there.
