NO disassemble!

I've had some durability and quality issues with Mackie gear too, although they are a huge step up (in most cases) from Behringer. Their upper end mixers are solid but I stay away from their amps and speakers like the plague (way too many thermal overload issues).

Ditto. I'm a live sound engineer and cringe every time I see a musician roll in with a piece of Behringer gear because it's always accompanied by an explanation like "can you mic the left speaker because the right one doesn't work" or "don't use that output jack because it's broken."

Bow chicka, bow wow...

I know everyone went batshit crazy when this story first hit, but it's pretty much as I thought. The carriers are mostly using CIQ for analyzing device performance metrics and not super spying on everyone. Yes, it should be opt in, but it's another case of "the sky is falling" internet hype.

Niiiiiiiine times.

Enough said.

They're called tracking cookies. Do you ever read the internet?

If you think that simply opting in or opting out is REALLY going to stop data collection of one type or another, you are being supremely naive. I guarantee that you would be scared shitless at the amount of information that Google (and probably a dozen or more other companies) have about you.

Agreed, but all I'm saying is most people's info is already being collected by a multitude of companies. Opting in once when you first sign up for a service is a substantially different proposition than companies like Google or Facebook continuing to monitor you online in an ongoing basis from that point forward,…

I'm not saying that it's right, but I'll bet you a dollar that Google already knew (and knows) more about everyone than CIQ could have reported to them or anyone else. To me it's more a matter of what is actually done with the information that's collected.

Better a carrot than my finger!

There's that old saying: "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."

Many PDs have been doing this for quite awhile, some for urban parking enforcement and others for traffic enforcement.

The first crime he committed was not reading the article...

And here's the model they used.
