    Ethariel01 got a reaction from Server_42 in What are the names of all LMG Servers?   
    Many years ago in the first company I worked in IT for, the Netware servers were named after Beer and the Microsoft servers after Spirits, obviously the Unix team had to go one better and named their servers from Star Trek.

    Ethariel01 got a reaction from TechyBen in Amazon's Ring logs every doorbell press and app action   
    Wow, think of all that facial recognition data they will be able to sell onwards, exact time and place for each face seen by the bell, cross reference that against every other entry in their database well that's got to be worth a bit more on top....right?
     
    I suppose that nowadays if you want privacy of any kind, toss out everything 'tech' other than the old Tube TV and VCR in the loft and start wearing a burka.

    Ethariel01 got a reaction from slippers_ in Samsung Sends Out 'Find My Mobile' Push Notification to Galaxy Phones   
    Hard coded phone tracking /nod (Well they really need to track all your movements whether you want them to or not in order to sell the data!)
    T&C Update - 'After seeing the push notification by continuing to use this device you wholly consent to the soul of your first born to be signed over to Samsung for perpetuity'

    Ethariel01 got a reaction from mr moose in Buildzoid X570 First Look   
    At the end of the day, do we really care whether it's pulling 100, 200, 300W more than before?
     
    If it's as good as people hope then that's even more chance you will buy one, box might look pretty but to get any use out of it you have to power it up regardless of the power consumption.

    Ethariel01 got a reaction from DildorTheDecent in Domo Arigato Mr Roboto - Amazon rolls out machines that pack orders and replace jobs   
    If this means I'm going to get the letterbox friendly SD card I ordered delivered in an envelop while I'm out rather than in a 2 cubic yard box that's 'left in the post room' (aka tossed over the back gate in the rain) then I'll be happy!

    Ethariel01 reacted to historicalpoultry in What is the Sony A6... Camera?   
    Well, Sony recently released the a6400, which has a 180 degree flip out screen (i.e. "selfie screen"). All other Sony a6000-series cameras have a rotating screen that does not articulate the full 180 degrees, but rather about 45 degrees downwards and slightly more than 90 degrees upwards

    Ethariel01 got a reaction from Noctus in Lightning to release a new Motorbike: the Strike   
    Only issue with electric bikes is where to hide weatherproofed speakers and an amp big enough to make it sound like a real bike, even with a decat and straight pipes on mine (sets off car alarms as I ride down the road) you still get phone zombies stepping off the kerb in front of you, on a silent electric bike? no thanks!

    Ethariel01 got a reaction from Phantonex in Razer releases an app that will make your PC mine cryptocurrency when idle   
    At the end of the day having had to threaten them with a County Court claim in the UK to replace a freaking left shift key after about 20 emails and numerous chat sessions that went nowhere, I am not in the slightest surprised.
     
    Wonder if they are going to 'bundle' it with the mouse/keyboard software next and hide the 'I accept'  deep in their EULA?
     
    Bunch of ripoff merchants of the n'th degree!
