Leafblower Volcano

(PG-13 Language) A guy and his dad were out in the yard when they had an idea. Take the leaf blower they were using and point it directly into the fiery belly of a chiminea. The result – a fire-belching mini volcano. Mom was not as amused.

Get 2GB Extra Google Drive Space Just By Checking Your Security Settings

Get 2GB Extra Google Drive Space Just By Checking Your Security Settings

Want 2 GB of extra space in your Google Drive account? Today, Google will give it to you for free, just for doing something you should be doing anyway: Reviewing your security.

Turning on things like two-step verification and having a strong password are great, but it’s not enough to just set it and forget it. If you don’t check in on things now and then, you might get yourself screwed.

Google’s Security Checkup—a promotion that’s running until Feb 17 as part of "Safer Internet Day"—runs you through your recovery settings, app access, recent logins, and other shit you should check periodically. And at the end, you’ll get 2 GB for your trouble (effective at the end of the month). Yeah sure, you should be doing this anyway, but it’s always nice to get a little reward for finishing your chores. [Google via The Next Web]

Clever Bulletproofing System Based on Marbles and Legos

0softarmour.jpg

"Since Saab was started, we have strived to keep society and people safe," writes the company. And they’re not talking about putting airbags in 9-3’s; this is the Saab Group, the aerospace and defence company, not the automobile venture. "It is a basic human need to feel safe and, as we see it, a human right. Through systems and solutions that increase security, we can make this possible."

Their latest solution, Soft Armour, is both fascinating and sadly needed. It’s a system of bulletproofing structures, and potentially vehicles, by means of modular boxes that are filled with what look like ceramic marbles. Check out how it works:

While the system can be built into new structures, Saab Group stresses that it can easily be retrofitted to existing ones. The modular panel boxes can be built on site with common tools, filled with the ceramic marbles, and stacked up "as a Lego system for protection." It will stop armor-piercing rounds (of the small arms variety) and, they claim, "has a lower total cost than ceramic and composite protection, with reusability, multi-hit capabilities and high flexibility."
