Lawyers for Marcus Hutchins: His 'I made malware' jail phone call isn't proper evidence

Marcus Hutchins - Banged to rights.Hope he likes Jello and peanut butter.

He should have watched a few episodes of Law and Order to understand the mad US legal system.

A USB stick as a file server? We've done it!

This would be good, if it wasn't USB2

I bought one on Amazon when it was advertised as USB3, so I thought "maybe they'd updated a year since it came out". No , still USB2. 64GB over USB2 is really slooooooooooooooooooooooow

The app sucks. The wifi was flaky, run time poor, 1.5 hours. Sent it back for a refund.

If anyone does have a USB3 unit, please let me know the SKU

Spread the risk.

With any investment, one of the key things is to spread your risk, and knowing when to get out. I had a modest holding of bitcoins that I sold when they reached about $1000 each , I only paid dollars for them, I've always kept them in different places.

Why are some clever people, so stupid?

How a Facebook post by blabbermouth daughter cost her parents $80,000

If the daughter was below the age of legal responsibility, I bet this could be contested, but this is America, and we all know about their damm fool laws, like let everyone have guns.
