I'm OK with it, as long as it's opt-in per app/situation basis and doesn't arbitrarily limit features if don't wanna opt-in.
BUT that's rarely the case, so fuck that.
I think it's cool that it gives you a statistic on how many days you've spent at certain places

Always on GPS? Or was that just IP tracing type style tyranny?
[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;50563701]Always on GPS? Or was that just IP tracing type style tyranny?[/QUOTE]
Yeah GPS, but I mean it kept the data until I got WiFi in hotels
Didn't even know this feature existed until like a month ago
I could basically watch people walk around at my old job by just taking a look at our unifi controller and watch which AP and what the signal strength was on their phone. I tested it quite a bit with a friend there and I got stupid accurate.
I'm surprised UBNT hasn't just implemented some form of basic mapping/tracking system for users. Probably wouldn't be too hard to add in.

They've already got the mapping part

When I took the four Mikrotik APs around the office and converted them to CAPsMAN controlled, I was thinking the same thing as I watched the devices hop around the building. If I dumped all the logs into Graylog, I could probably run some queries and find out how late people get into the office.
Anybody here know anything about firmware decryption?
Well after 9 hours of no internet I found out the issue. So my dad FINALLY canceled our phone service which has been unplugged for like 3 years. We were also renting a phone modem we weren't using for that time. (The rest of the family thinks about all the wasted money because he wanted it as a backup)
Then he saw that we had a $9.99 fee on our account for a Wireless Gateway. So I messaged @ComcastCares about it, and they said they removed it from the account for us. I thought. Great, good, taken care of.
3 hours later our internet goes out. Odd, Signal levels are fine. Log shows one T3 this morning, but all seems fine. Router shows us having a WAN IP, but still no service. 8 hours later of researching outages on my phone and watching videos on 800kbps 4G LTE, I log into our Xfinity to find out "Xfinity Internet Service: Awaiting Activation" was shown.
FUCK.
The CS removed our modem from our account to take care of that fee. We own our modem. We rent nothing from Comcast in regards to internet. So after all this time, there was no outage, there was no problem, the modem just wasn't connected. Of course I was tweeting @ComcastCares all day trying to get some help, and while they are an extremely active twitter account, there is also a lot for them to parse through so they never got around to helping me as of posting this.
So I plugged the modem in directly, rebooted it, re-activated it. And now I'm back online.
What a day of nothingness.
Isn't cable internet fun? I'm currently suffering through an intermittent upstream connection because the techs here can't figure out what's wrong with the drop to this building.
What are you signal levels?
Downstream is fine right around 0dbm.
Upstream is basically maxing out its power at anywhere from 50-52dbm and they can't seem to find a problem with the line. But other people have the same issue.
They're probably going to end up just re-running the drop.
I don't think I've ever had a speed or reliability issue with my cable ISP in the many years I've been using them. It's not cheap, but it hasn't let me down.
Take a guess what code I'm buried deep in right now.

Reminds me of the time when Bell decided it was a good idea to switch my home Internet connection from ADSL to VDSL before the technician came in to install the new modem. They did the switch over the phone after calling them for an hour. Like really, how can you fuck up that badly.
Plebs with your wired internet connections. What happens if the ground splits all around your house?

The problem is it's probably old line or bad splitters. Have them run a dedicated drop from the tap to the modem. Save yourself a lot of headaches.

So when I canceled my crashplan service, I did not tell them to completely delete my account. Which they did.
What that means is I could no longer access my local backup archives which by the by are encrypted. So I made a new account with the same info, reinstalled the software. But now I have a different computer ID so it won't see it.
So I do a Archive attach. Which according to their KB lets you import archives from other computers. Ok, let's give it a go. I attach it, it says "Archive Successfully Attached" But does nothing, nothing in the restore option, and it doesn't show up as a destination. Then I thought, what if I rename the folder to the new computer ID and see what happens.
I'll tell you what happens.
It deletes the archive. And doesn't send it to recycle bin. I could probably run a recovery software but I can't be assed any more to deal with this fucking software or this fucking company.
All the data inside that archive should already have been in the cloud-destination which I restored from so I should already have it in my restore-dump directory. But still, I wanted to just run a restore that would pull all the data from it into a folder to sort through later.
Even in death...

I believe if the ground splits there will be a large enough earthquake to take down the vast majority of the towers y'all use anyway. Lets not mention the fact that most of y'all require a Backhaul ISP to supply YOU with internet that is a ground fiber line.
The winner here is AMPRNet as it might have a higher bit rate than any Civilian SAT device.

But what do you do if you decide that other people [I]need[/I] to be able to listen to your high quality nightcore remixes you ripped off YouTube at 128 kbits? What other set of below average headphones has below average speakers on the top with [I]flashing lights[/I]?
I can't be the only one to notice a bunch of video issues for this video?

Also this looks like a decent laptop, even though it's missing an SD Card slot.
where can I buy spare PSU cables? bought a Fractal Design Integra M 450W for my grandfathers rig and I've used up all of the SATA power cables and there are still two things that need power, a HDD and the DVD writer. I have a few spare from my own Corsair PSU but I don't want to risk that. anyone know if Fractal Design and Corsair PSU cables are compatible? if not, I'll have to buy new cables from somewhere
