    Little Man reacted to Jtalk4456 in Amazon: We see you when you're Peeing, We know when you're unsafe...   
    1. Not amazon's time, and not their intellectual property. Don't know where you got that from, but if they tape me singing to music in the car, they don't have rights to sell my first album, they have no ip on what a driver does, that doesn't even make sense. 
    2. Not Amazon's property. Everyone seems to be ignoring this, but this is not in amazon trucks that we're talking about. This is in contract companies, a lot of which use PERSONAL VEHICLES. Therefore they absolutely should have a right to privacy in their own car.
    3. Unless Amazon uses the footage to fire you because you don't want to be recorded in your own vehicle, in which case it's not protecting you.
    4. Not at all, just saying the camera is unnecessary to enforce that.
    5. I'll say again, Amazon has a LONG history of controversy with not allowing proper time for breaks. This is not about fred not having time management skills, this is about fred having to deliver hundreds of packages in a shift and not being afforded the time to get off the road and stop at a clean and legal bathroom facility
    6. I find your attitude a bit rude here, especially coming from a moderator, and especially given you're mid-addressing it, and with points that are out of topic since again it's not Amazon's vehicle. If you wanna disagree, fine, but lets not go down the path of demeaning and insulting someone for posting a news story just cuz you don't think it's important. 
    7. See all the points above.
    Overall I want to clarify as it seems few are reading the article in question here.
    This is NOT an Amazon vehicle, this is NOT their property or their IP somehow. This is a contracted delivery company being told that their drivers will be monitored by Amazon or they will be fired. Many of these fleets are people using PERSONAL vehicles, like the ones that deliver to my house constantly.
    The "peeing thing" as you call it, is a MINOR detail that made for a catchy title. It is NOT the point of the article, I'm NOT worried someone will get filmed with their pants down. That wasn't the point. The point is Amazon's controlling behavior over things that don't belong to them and it's impact on privacy.
    The biggest point was that their argument of safety and accountability can all be done with a ROAD-FACING dash cam, gps tracking and accelerometer (likely in the gps). Since it can be done without the camera, the camera is unnecessary and is just a way of Amazon legally collecting more and more data.
    This is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL. I'm not arguing otherwise. BUT data privacy is a growing concern around the world and I sincerely hope that we can all see how a camera collecting biometric data while you drive YOUR OWN VEHICLE could be considered a bit of an issue. Is it legal, sure, but that doesn't make it right. And when we just accept it's legal so it's ok, that opens the door for many slippery slope arguments allowing tech and other companies to do whatever they want. 
    Exactly my point. There is nothing illegal with Amazon requiring this, but this is in personal vehicles and we cannot guarantee this footage will solely be used for the purposes Amazon states. As I stated, accountability and safety can be enforced with a road facing dash cam and basic motion sensors, so why do they need a camera on the driver's face? because they want more data than that. Amazon is known for this. Great for consumers, horrible for employees. This is Amazon's MO, we've all heard about their bad labor practices.
    The packages being Amazon's property could be an issue, but I'd argue that this again could be accomplished other ways. If you want to monitor shipping conditions, back seat camera. If you want to make sure the drive isn't stealing packages, cameras near the doors seeing if the driver enters the vehicle still holding the package. I'm just saying watching the driver sing along to their favorite genre for hours does nothing to promote safety or accountability. I'd assume as a worst case scenario, they might try to fire someone for complaining while on the job cuz they saw them complaining on camera. And with at will fires being legal in most places, they don't have to tell why they fire you. There are dozens of corporate dystopian novels about supercompanies with this kind of behavior. 
     
    because the camera in a warehouse is necessary to enforce accountability and safety. The warehouse camera isn't trained on your face, it's trained on the warehouse as a whole and watches for any accidents. A camera facing a driver isn't watching the road, it isn't seeing if they pretended to deliver and put the package in the back to steal, it isn't watching their speed or braking or driving habits. It's literally just watching the driver's face. This is unnecessary for the points Amazon argues.
    Here dash Cam just means it's mounted on the dash, so could face either direction. I'm making the point that facing the driver's face, which is what they are doing here, does not help with safety or accountability. A dash can facing the road would help, or security videos on the outside of the vehicle.
     
    The problem is at will firing. Amazon doesn't have to say why they fired you, they just fire you and move on. All the evidence in the world is no defense when they won't give you a firing reason to argue against

    Little Man reacted to PlayStation 2 in AMD Ryzen reviewers say: - Either experiencing weird results or not recommened for gaming   
    The R7 1700 runs at 3.2GHz by default, while the 3570K runs at 4.2 here on OC, and that's where I went "no fucking shit, Sherlock."
    People expecting Ryzen to clobber CPUs clocked 1GHz higher when IPC on Intel's platform hasn't dramatically increased were going to be disappointed. I was expecting it to be on-par with Broadwell clock for clock, and to me, it seems to do that fairly well.
     
    Let's also mention how he's comparing fucking The Division and Far Cry Primal and Ashes of the Singularity. Do people really play any of the three? No, not really.

    I doubt they will have any major changes ready. This stuff doesn't just happen overnight, it has to go through the pipeline. 
     
    The only thing they can really do is lower their prices.
     
    It'll probably be a not insignificant amount of time before they have a major performance response ready

    Little Man reacted to Simon771 in AMD Ryzen 4 Core rumoured to have Hyper Threading disabled.   
    And just because they are releasing 4 core CPU without "hyperthreading", doesn't meant there won't be 4c/8t CPU.
    I do hope they will also make some 6 core/12t CPU in Ryzen line.

    Little Man reacted to DrMikeNZ in GTX 1060 and RX 480 retested (spoilers, the red team wins!)   
    They both appear to perform pretty much the same, within margin of error, that hasn't really changed since their earlier review.
    If these two cards are the price and performance bracket which you are looking for, then the biggest decision still comes down to which is cheaper in the country which you live.

    I'll only expect the lead to get bigger, it's been the same thing with every generation of AMD cards, give them a few months and they get a nice boost in performance compared to launch.
