Belkin has always been shit. I remember almost 20 years ago working for an ISP and Belkin had a router model that would not properly renew IP addresses via DHCP. They had to be power cycled every time the lease expired.We "fixed" the issue on our DHCP server by giving Belkin MAC addresses very long lease times. I didn't run the DHCP server so I have no idea what the exact issue was, but we had other issues with Belkin devices. It really gave me the impression that they weren't high quality.

Comment Maybe try making trucks people want? (Score 1) 181

I use an F250 with a lift gate for my business, and pull trailers with it a few times a month. The big thing that most electric trucks lack is towing range. Towing a trailer kills mileage. I think what they need is an electric truck with a built in diesel generator for range extension. Run on battery for most day to day use, and have the generator kick on when the battery is low. Advertise it by comparing it to a freight train.
They could even make it modular, just leave a space under the hood and make the generator removable. It could be sold as an option, or even replaced with additional batteries.

Comment Not Much of a Camper or Museum Piece (Score 4, Interesting) 28

Did anyone look at the pictures of the inside of this thing? All the equipment that would make this interesting has been stripped, but also, all of the beds and furniture that make it useful as a camper are gone. If someone buys it at this overinflated price they will have to make a decision whether they want to try to restore it, or remove the equipment cabinetry. You can't do both, they're mutually exclusive. Most of the museum value of this thing would be to park it outside and maintain the paint job, it's not some great untouched historical relic. I have the distinct impression that this news coverage has just been the seller attempting to drum up any interest on his auction flip.
