It wouldn't be if lmg actually internally reflected on many near miss pr disasters that have happened in the past where this result is entirely not unexpected. It's a pattern of behavior I stopped watching lmg directly years ago after internally deciding. This public meltdown is just a culmination of what has already been done.

This is absurd Linus did bad and is in full on deflect, redirect, shift blame. The reason people think your Linus is because your acting just like him.

The fact deleting the account didn't delete the push notification cache is not surprising or a gdpr violation. They have 30 days to delete functionally required content. The cloudfront links automatically expire and it is basically impossible to guess the notification link unless you own the camera have its serial number and account info and event timestamp and do that within the day or so the link is valid. If you want fast and reliable rich push notifications you would actually need to send the pictures and face matches so they can be displayed on the user's device the moment they get network access. 
 
If they did a pure local relay solution it could be super slow or unreliable in poor network conditions. The user also has to enable face matches and turn on rich notifications. If you don't then the images are not sent. CDNs cache data short term deleting your account won't magically erase all traces right away.
 
You trade security for convenience. You could disable all notifications block it from the WAN network the VLC playback thing would be all that remains and is a feature and it's only exposed if you expose it directly to the internet as it's meant for LAN rstp streaming to a nas. If you mess that up you probably exposing your entire LAN as well.
 
They are selling more powerful more local Homebases but it's a cost vs. features thing they are purely local storage that is how they offer no subscription cost but notifications that work well have to transit the cloud and cdn caching is a reliability feature you'd want otherwise if you lose network for even a moment remotely you'd miss notifications and preview images and face matches you configured would not show up or would show up much later.

This seems highly overblown it's a feature and a if a user misconfigured their firewall yes they are exposed. You normally would not route rtsp traffic by default. They could just disable it all in FW. But that would actually remove a feature. It's ironic actually that a feature for experts can be expertly misused. Until they post other accounts live feeds that can be activated remotely I don't see an issue. A misconfigured firewall is a bad idea.
 
And a serial number that is unique and a user account id that is also unique is a security feature if they just used incrementing serials and user IDs that would be a problem but I have not seen any proof that it can be exploited by anyone but the user debugging their own cameras which already have the feature and give the rstp url answer in the app.

I blame the kid, corporations, media, school, ...
 
Teens who can build stuff certainly don't "need to be given stuff" but an internship at Facebook or visiting the president are some pretty huge things for anyone. So not only did the non-inventor get tons of free stuff he also got to go see the president of the US and internship at Facebook without any work.
 
The wider more important set of victims are actual teen builders/inventors who see this non-inventor get showered in praise for his "invention" when the news should actually read showered in praise because the school is retarded and racist. 
 
http://recode.net/2015/09/22/why-we-invited-clock-kid-ahmed-mohamed-to-maker-faire/
"People reached out to me and thought it would be good to bring Ahmed to the upcoming Maker Faire in New York City. Numerous others — President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg — reached out to him and offered gifts, scholarships, internships and more."
 
Those last two ones are things teen inventors actually need and are working towards. To see a non-inventor just skip the inventing bit entirely is a bit insane.
 
 
 
Without the battery backup (Which was not present) it wouldn't remember anything (they have no NV flash memory in those old clocks) the clock time would reset and alarm as well. To make it go off in class he would have to plug it into the wall and then set the time/alarm to go off shortly after the class started. 
 
 
 
The kid went on national tv and personally said it was one of his inventions. Is it the media forcing him at gunpoint to say that? If you know he didn't invent/make/build/assemble/hack/reverse engineer/do anything significant to said commercial clock then you should have called him a liar. Obviously the school's reaction is horribly incorrect but that doesn't mean we should be dancing him around as some genius inventor and throwing material and priceless rewards in his direction. My initial reaction was wait for the other side of the story because that looks like a off the shelf clock and I waited confirmation.
 
There is a middle ground and that is the school/police is racist but the kid is also a liar and knows next to nothing about electronics relative to his peers in the same maker/hacker/inventing space. The media is always fooling you but usually with half truths (they work the best) so you just have to sort things out. 

Yes you can its called cheating and academic dishonesty there are plenty of actually smart kids going to tons of science competitions and fairs that don't resort to cheating. Saying because you cheated as a teen and got away with it makes it ok for him to cheat is a horrible argument. Also saying because you played around with high-ish voltages it is safe for him who is clearly a complete novice at everything electronic related including basic electrical safety is not a sound argument (One mistake and you can die touching those "high-ish voltages", I told a dumb electrician that the phase cut dimmer still passes power even when it is switched off and we should turn off the CB first but he said not to and got a shock luckily he didn't fall off the ladder and finally agreed that the CB should be switched off first he got lucky because the phase cut dimmer in the off state passes only a few milliamps of current in the circuit so he would only get a fraction of that when he got shocked).
 
Examples,

 

(actual prototype electronics made by a teen, not lying) 
Not being aware of cheating is not an excuse for cheating. (Also he is fully aware of what is a commercial product as in the same linked interview he holds up the guts of an entire media player and literally says this is just the guts of a media player, he never says that about his clock which is also just the guts of a clock in its entirety)
 
He neither reverse engineered, hacked, modified, tinkered, improved, or even assembled/rebuilt... the clock he used and literally took the case off and threw it into a box and called it a day. I never used my box of electronics tear-downs at school because that isn't how it works you use it to learn about things or to re-purpose not just to show off the entire commercial product as your own.

Its called cheating if you don't understand what an umbrella term is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_dishonesty
 
Fabrication (not his work), deception (lied on camera about said not his work), cheating (no work done), plagiarism (identical physical copy of commercial design with zero changes), ...
 
 
Academic fraud applies at all levels of academia (Or should we make cheating part of the standard as that would certainly boost grades). It would basically tell teens competing in other science fairs that because they are not in university yet it is ok to cheat and lie. There was zero substantive work put into that "DIY Clock".
 
So by your logic teens can cheat in all of these competitions and fairs because its not university so who cares.

Academic integrity and not lying about your work is a serious issue. Credit goes to where credit is deserved, no credit is deserved in this instance.

You should be booting from the m.2 drive in UEFI mode. Windows 7 is also now old enough that new hardware isn't always going to work as intended.
 
This means your installer should also be set to only support UEFI boot (I recommend rufus to build the USB boot drives for the windows install iso)
 
https://rufus.akeo.ie/
You must select UEFI only options. UEFI-CSM slows down the boot for modern motherboards. Windows 8 and 10 prefer UEFI. Windows 7 can be installed as UEFI as well without using legacy boot.

I tend not to use drives older than 5 years old for anything important.

Re-allocated sectors means that the drive detected a problem with a sector and moved the data to a spare sector and marked the previous one as bad. This could be a sign of drive failure especially if it is going up constantly or worse rapidly.
 
I would make sure you backup anything important (saves/mods/configs/stray documents).
 
How long your drive will last is unknown it is very random and SMART stats rarely give a good way to predict failure.
Your drive should be below 50degC and above 20degC in a general sense.

All Drives: No Correlation (to temperature)
 
So as long as you stay out of extremes (condensation, overheating) it should be fine.
 
Any mfg that you want should be ok it is really a crapshoot it seems with certain models and probably even batches failing more than others. For HDDs I use mostly WD but also use some Seagate SMR drives for archive purposes. (I think I or someone I know own stocks in WD too so that might be a bias)(Also although HGST is owned  by WD they still operate separately I think according to blackblaze HGST is the most reliable)

You should be able to easily have one HDD and one m.2 SSD even if some SATA ports are disabled for some reason.
 
http://ca.msi.com/support/mb/Z170A-GAMING-M7.html#down-manual
 
Refer to page 35. It seems like it should be ok for 1 SATA HDD and 1 M.2 SSD.
 
I think with one PCIe SSD you will have all 6 SATA ports available with the SATA express functionality still intact (not that anything uses that).
 
Also the manual seems to indicate the M.2 slot labeled M.2_2 (closest to the cpu-socket) should be the first populated port as the M.2_1 port shares PCI_E4 (1x slot) and some sata ports.
