This is just a temporary respite. Things may be quiet for a while but the next terrorist attack is probably being planned right now. This whole incident and its handling has exposed a number of improvements required starting with intelligence operations. Hopefully India will take corrective...

Not really. If your biometrics were not compromised at time of Aadhar enrollment, its claimed that they are secure. Aadhar user details have been leaked numerous times but not biometrics as far as I am aware. Each time you provide biometrics whether to the government or a private entity with no...

It looked like the red and gray image below. I assume that the red marks where the template points for the standard format are being identified. However the fingerprint also seemed to be displayed in gray as in the image below. Whatever the underlying format, it looked like an usable image It...

The fingerprint sensor was connected to a laptop connected via internet to a central server. It was not a standalone device. I was looking at a manual of one of the products (looks similar to the one I saw) In the specifications, it says: Image dimension 272 x 320 pixels Image bit depth...

I am not sure of this. I had noted that the hardware used was a product from SUPREMA. The specs of the product seem to indicate that it can scan and capture an image of the fingerprint at the device, transfer it to server, and then use a standard MINEX algorithm to convert it to a hash. They may...

This was Rajajinagar Bangalore branch.

This is a private gym so people can opt out, but it appears that this is spreading more and more and becoming the norm

It should not be a problem if only a hash is stored and not the image of the captured fingerprint. Different closed loop systems would create different hashes so for example the Gym data could not be used at your Bank's ATM (maybe Banks may introduce this in future) However there is nothing to...

I recently checked out Power World Gym, a chain with Indian branches in NCR and Bangalore They have a bio metric system which members need to use to sign in to the Gym. From the companies point of view, I suspect this keeps their costs low and cuts down on fraud though this could also be easily...

I got a 64GB Sandisk Extreme Go USB 3.1 Pendrive from Amazon recently. It promises up to 200 MB/s read and up to 150 MB/s write speeds. It also advertises on the box "Write 35X faster" I am getting 150 MB/s read and 40 MB/s write speeds. The write speed is a letdown. There is no problem with...

For Computer science, any ideas which among RVCE or PES University has better faculty, gives a better grounding in concepts, exposure to industry/internships If anyone has studied in RVCE or PES University (formerly PESIT), please PM me if you are happy to provide some inputs

I will look at Haswell option also. Thanks Looking at all the H110 motherboards among Asus and Gigabyte, the Asus H110M-K seems the best for my requirements. I can get a DVI to HDMI cable to connect my LG monitor.

I am putting together a budget Skylake system with some existing parts. I am not clear which Motherboard to buy. Most of the ASUS and Gigabyte H110 boards have poor back panel connectors. They also have serial and parallel ports which I think no one uses any more. MSI and Asrock seem to have...

I had installed Gargoyle firmware on my router. It reports bandwidth usage and distribution along with other useful stuff. What I see is that ACT usage report seems to be about 20% more this month than what my router shows. Before jumping to the conclusion that ACT is at fault, I was thinking...

I would avoid beta firmware as a daily driver. No harm in trying it out though. Had installed open wrt on TPLINK 841 V9 couple of months back. Only beta firmware was available for V9 at that time. Faced constant disconnections so stopped using it. Now a more stable version of the firmware has...

I am looking for a budget MLC nand based 512GB SSD and looking at following options (1) Crucial BX100 is available on Ebay India but spoke with one seller and he was not sure about India warranty; may need to ship to US for warranty. MX200 not available. Also checked with Prime, they are not...

I did have to call them about 10 times in the last 3 months and last couple of times I asked to speak to a supervisor. However they seem to have finally corrected it on their own.

Update - Reliance has reversed the final month charges and sent a revised bill which now shows my account in credit
