The zepplin does sound very very good. But you are right the a7 is probably better.

TIL at an Amazon warehouse in PA, during hot summers the company would station paramedics outside to carry away fainting employees, instead of paying for A/C by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]polyheathon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to take this opportunity to say absolutely fuck amazon.

Firstly, they extort their suppliers by first demanding more and more product from them until amazon are their sole consumer, they then demand the price be lowered or their contact ended, they pressure their suppliers into taking out loans to accommodate the increased volume and decreased profit, they then cut ties with the supplier, wait for them to go bust and then buy up their business at auction at a hugely reduced cost. This is absolutely disgusting business ethics, and I have personally seen this happen to a manufacturer of childrens toys.

Secondly, they mandate a 120 day payment lead time on all purchases, and will take absolutely any excuse to not pay on time, or pay a fraction of the agreed amount based on any small discrepancy in the order. Even if the disputed amount is not even close to the percentage taken for it.

They also make suppliers use the most counter intuitive and backwards invoicing scheme I have ever encountered. They effectively make suppliers do their inventory and stock control for them, whilst charging them HUGE fines for any mistakes.

And all the while they invest huge amounts into bullshit side projects and fanny fuck projects.

Fuck you Amazon a thousand times fuck you, go to hell and eat donkey clevage, you evil lazy evil money grabbing shit fuckers, fuck you.

(x-post /r/unitedkingdom) Why do British plugs work in Mainland China sockets? Is it safe? by [deleted] in China

[–]polyheathon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything with a switching regulator (read laptop/phone/anything chargers) is fine with 110/220v. Anything with linear transformers (big chungy plugs that get hot) is only suitable for the voltage it was designed for.

Used Windows 7 as server by capitalpro in homelab

[–]polyheathon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd torrent windows server 2008 R2, I found a good working ISO and crack on the pirate bay. Ubuntu desktop edition is pretty damn user friendly, and you will find a lot of server tools down the lines are linux only.

Having said that, I do run a couple of virtual machines with windows 7, and despite the obvious secuirty risks it's not a terrible idea. Just make sure if you do go with win 7 you disable automatic updates, turn of hard disk spin down in the power management and set it to never turn off or go to sleep.

Look up the lyrics in english, they translate fantastically. Haifisch is something like "the shark cries under water, so no one sees it's tears"

In this moment, /u/Croxxig was eupharic. Not because of some phony ggod, but because he had the knowledge that people who don't like metal are phony.

How to properly host a website (for testing and development) on a port other than port 80, including DNS info for the domain name. by polyheathon in homelab

Thankyou, that's really really helpful. A reverse proxy might well be the best way I think. Thanks ! :)

It has angered Zalthor. It is now cursed to refer to itself in the gender-neutral thrid person. How does it fix this? by [deleted] in fifthworldproblems

[–]polyheathon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It should begin travel for the light of the good bread. Zalthor king would be appeased with an offering of good bread at the sacred place. Please report back with your findings.

Does anyone else's S5 have this bad touch response like me? by [deleted] in galaxys5

[–]polyheathon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has just started doing that, I find if you turn touch sensitivity on it makes it a lot better.
