  • If I remember right on that one, users had even paid to have their data removed, too. But it was stored unencrypted. And that settlement included unidentified users which the money was going to be held onto for them to put ads in magazines or something. Wild.

    The huge, nearly billion dollar Facebook settlement was something like $50/person. Google’s privacy class action suit was like $10 per person.

    And boy oh boy can we be sure they learned their lesson! Facebook and Google haven’t done anything shady with private information since, right?



  • Let’s see…

    My servers (tiny/mini/micros) in total are about… 600W or so. Two NASs, about 15-20W a piece.

    I spend a out $150/mo in electricity, but my hot water/HVAC/etc are the big power draw. I’d say about $40-50/mo is what I’m spending on powering the servers in my office.

    Definitely puts off some heat, but that’s partially because it’s all in one rack, and I’ve got a bunch of other work hardware in there. It’s about 2 degrees warmer in my office than the rest of my home, but I also have air cycling all the time since it’s a single unit HVAC and I need to keep the air moving to keep it all the right temp in the other rooms anyway (AC will come on more often otherwise, even without my rack).
