No charges filed in alleged gun threat involving Apple's Dr. Dre
tim cook pays a security force to carry guns so that he never needs to handle one himself.volcan said:
Tim Cook probably doesn't even own a firearm so no one would ever claim he brandished a hand gun. Who doesn't believe that Dre not only has a hand gun but probably used some arrogant language when confronted by police. The cops don't put people in handcuffs and detained in a patrol car without some suspicion. Doesn't matter what color you are, if you look like a gangster you should probably be on your best behavior when dealing with the police.mtbnut said:"...they couldn't find a weapon on the scene."
If this was Tim Cook or Eddy Cue, they would have never been handcuffed while the cops sorted things out.
So a gun was never found, but a (black) man is arrested and detained based on a potentially false story.
he likely pays someone to carry his wallet, except he probably only uses ApplePay, so then I guess he pays someone to carry his iThing, and then they pay for his stuff.
at this point, Dre can probably afford to pay someone to carry a gun etc as tim cook does, except maybe dre doesn't do that...
the rich are different, unless they started out in the 'hood

i do have to wonder, if someone called the cops and said that I threatened them with a gun on the sidewalk outside my house, what would happen?
would the police cuff me upon arrival?
would they ask to search my house?
good thing I have security cameras recording 24 hours a day all around the property. I wonder if Dre does as well...? -

Review: Synology's DiskStation DS216j offers affordable yet advanced network storage
I've had a DS212j since 2012 and gotten great use out of it. I paid $249 for it, which is a single drive. $169 for dual drive is incredible bargain.
I have extensive experience with Synology and DSM in commercial and home environments. for an intranet control system it's awesome.
here's clarifying various things:
rums much faster with SSDs if you can cost-justify and storage-justify that.
you cannot attach an external USB drive and make it part of the RAID array, but you can back up to it
you can set up a VPN server that allows you secure remote access to your LAN and files
you can set up two DS216j units at two different locations and have directories on one cloned to the other
you can sync a cloud based server (google drive, etc) with a DSM directory so that your cloud content is constantly backed up locally, and vice-versa
you can host websites and web applications (LAMP) on it and it works pretty well for this for small workgroups
you should not set it up to apply updates automatically - DSM OS software is notorious for crashing stuff on upgrades - check the forums before upgrading
don't expose it to the open internet - place it behind a firewall and use the VPN feature to access things securely
you can host drupal, WordPress and other CMS and wikis on it for intranet use
it's a very nice time capsule backup device
synology support is not so great, but their forums are excellent
there is a raging mod scene running the DSM os on unauthorized hardware
if you're comfortable with SSH / telnet you can customize settings that are not available in the DSM UI but software updates will usually reverse those edits
most general Mac and iStuff users would find this very useful. some of you pro-level folks might be underwhelmed, but for a general file and media server it's pretty nice. I have 3TB of movies and music on mine.
