    SenKa got a reaction from Sauron in Why I think Google Home spying on you doesn't really matter.   
    Although our opinions differ, I can't really find much to logically rebut with here. You brought up some very good points I hadn't thought of, such as a well-thought-out thief using smart products to know when a house is vacant.
     
    Anything I could respond with would be pure opinion, the highest sin of debating. GG Sauron.

    You can either be sensible and name it something like "The Vault" if its long term storage
     
    Or you can name it ServerMcServerface. And I would choose the latter.

    You got me on the EULA. I didnt read it closely, I didnt think anybody did.
     
    But
     
    This forum and its moderators/admins host and indirectly promote EULA violating material such as: Modified drivers (From the gaming on a mining card video. Big EULA violation), and Modified Operating Systems ("Windows 9"). I dont think they'd care if a user privately distributed unmodified installers of software Apple abandoned roughly 5 years ago. Apple does not distribute, support, or offer technical support on any software or hardware above 3 years of age at the most; thus putting Mavericks in the category of Abandonware which is legally redistrobutable anyways. 
     
    Speaking of, I was actually looking for that Windows 9 installer. I could never find it.

    Apple TOS provides a license for all compatible software via purchase of a Mac device. Because of this, and his ownership of a Mac Pro; there is nothing illegal about receiving unmodified Apple installers.
     
    This is why there are no Product Key's for macOS. Your hardware is the key.

    SenKa got a reaction from myselfolli in Clickbait titles and thumbnails   
    Which is his first objective, if he's running his business properly. Not only can you not make everyone happy, if he tried LMG would go under in a week.
     
    The issue with the term "clickbait" is that it's subjective to the content of the video.
     
    Being a long time viewer and somebody who keeps up with technology news regularly, I can't find a piece of click bait posted in the last 2 weeks. Some video titles are more informative than others, but "clickbait" is incredibly subjective and a term I disagree with. The general rule of content creation is that your target audience (For LTT, the mildly well informed techie) should know what they're getting in to before clicking play. The only videos I personally cannot match to that rule are (in the last 2 weeks):
     
    "This Changes RGB Forever"
    "Sorry Apple... 'The Notch' is DEAD!"
    "The Most Sensible Way To Kill The Notch"
     
    So, if I were at LMG's LTT decision validating all titles and thumbnails for validity under common wisdom I would have flunked 3 that have been posted in the past 2 weeks. Considering how many editors LMG employs a 3/39 rato (or 7%) failure rating is better than I could say for most of my subscription box.
     
    But as with this entire thread, it's all opinion.

    In all seriousness, I was entertaining getting an iPhone since the 7 came out. Put it off due to my contract not being up. Then the 8 came out, saw no headphone jack, and bailed.
     
    My daily driver headphones cost me nearly $200 and are the best quality headphones ive ever used. Im not choking those with a bluetooth connection.

    My question here is why. Phones have moved past the point of low storage and a genuine need for a secondary device for music playback.
     
    Hell, even direct file music playback is pretty dead, 99% of people stream off Spotify/Pandora/Soundcloud

    SenKa got a reaction from Wingfan in Does Gateway still make PCs?   
    I still own a couple old gateways. They all work flawlessly save for batteries being long dead. Some of them see regular use, like a Gateway Solo used for writing floppies. (It has USB, CD, and Floppy! If it had dvd it would be perfect!)

    @Radium_Angel got it right. Acquired by Acer, which is a shame because Gateways used to be built like tanks back in the day. Would be interesting to see what kinds of machines Gateway would be making in 2019.
