Yikes, I hate when things like this happen without people knowing... So, apparently, Amazon has a...


I’m no tech expert, but this sounds odd to me. I do not want to share my wifi with my neighbors. Moreover, couldn’t tech-savvy neighbors with access to my wifi also access my ring security system? Seems really wrong to me that this is an “opt out” thing instead of an “opt in” deal as well.

Any techies out there have any thoughts?

Yes, it’s pretty shady. But if you’ve already let an Amazon device on your network you’re already giving away a lot.

They've been doing it in Australia for ages with our biggest telephone network and it basically doesn't work. 

Every time you stop yoir car it tries to connect somewhere and it is so slow it just stops. Just switch it off.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

When it comes to the wi-fi in my house, Amazon will get nothing and like it!

    • Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.
    • Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.
    • That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
    • This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
    • He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
