Amber X - A.K.A. Normies' Personal Server/Cloud with AI

[Celebrate Nite]

Just saw this thing this morning. This just screams "bad idea".

The Amber X aims to give its users full control of their own videos, files, photos and other data.

Inside a tiny box is basically your own personal cloud that you own in your home.

The Amber X app also allows you to easily upload all your photos and files from mobile devices or computers via Wi-Fi from anywhere in the world. From there, you control who has access to them with top-of-the-line encryption.

The Amber X has 500 gigabytes solid-state storage onboard. The key is its expandable with any standard USB hard drive, so say goodbye to paying monthly cloud storage fees.

Amber X also has artificial intelligence features, such as facial recognition and smart organizational skills.

In addition, it’s a streaming media server, so you can easily watch videos or photos on your home TV. It’s an easy way to own, protect and organize your digital memories, with no fees.

The Amber X is $169.

Regarding the PRO version, this caught my eye on the site page:

I can't speak regarding the other three, but if a major news network is giving their attention to this, you just know it's shit.

Discuss? Personally I don't get what's wrong with just buying an external drive and sticking all your shit in that, but that's just me. I hate the fact that everything these days has to be "easily accessed", especially with a fucking mobile app.

Normies want ease of use and niceties. The thing with this is, im pretty sure this has to phone home to some centralized infrastructure to allow connectivity from external networks like mobile via the bs app. The reason for this is alot of consume grade networking equipment has a stateful esq firewall built in, and outbound connectivity allows sessions to form from external sources without normies having to figure out port forwarding or access-lists. So this isnt really that secure id imagine.

Any retard that sets this up in their house deserves whats coming to them. (And we know damn well their going to scrape your data and sell it.)

Product X gives you something you already have!!!! into the trash it goes... well after salvaging the $50 SSD.

Fucking retards.

I love how this "private" cloud really isn't even cost efficient since you can buy external SSD's and HDD's with more space for a good bit cheaper. Hell newegg is even selling a 6TB NAS HDD for the same price.

I feel like this was designed to nip legitimately private solutions in the bud before they spread too far.

 

[L50LasPak]

I like the premise of this device but am utterly convinced that its going to be cheap and shitty.

 

[AmpleApricots]

This sure hits several fields on the technobabble-bullshit bingo. They forgot "blockchain" tho. It's probably some ARM running some customized linux distro connected to a harddrive, all packed into a small case. This really does not need a thread.

 

[NerdShamer]

So, the million dollar question is that if someone steals your phone, do they have access to everything that's in this product?

 

[Lame Entropy]

Internal hard drives aren't difficult to install and external ones are even easier to understand. Shit just buy a USB if you're that tech illiterate.

Don't be surprised of you see someone who expects their entire C drive on the average thumb drive.

Granted, they come in large sizes, but you really don't hear a lot about them.

I can build my own servers.

Really makes you think.

Me too but I think this might be them testing the water to see if there's that actually a market for "private" clouds for consumers.

Finally, something to store my thousands of dollars of NFT's on.
