Can it? Can it? No, I didn't think so. THAT is what Android makers need to introduce - a notch that can talk back to you when you talk to it. Don't immitate - innovate!
My impression of Facebook has always been a) a pretty poorly designed website with little going for it besides, erm, "connecting people" in a very basic way b) a massive database back-end that scoops up as much data about everybody as possible, analyzes it a bit, and then lets that data be sold to whoever the fuck pays enough money for it. Why is everybody suddenly panicking "Gosh-OMG-NoWay-They-Sold-Our-Datazzz". Isn't this what Facebook was engineered to do from day one? Why is anybody surprised by this at all???
X-Plane: I wanna go sonic boom like the other X-Planes.
NASA: Shush! You're supposed to be the quiet one.
X-Plane: But you are violating my supersonic plane rights by telling me to be quiet.
NASA: OK. Time to redesign your airfoils and avionics...
When Michael, 28, living outside Austin Texas got a nagging headache, he knew exactly what to do. He ordered a fast-drone delivered shipment of Aspirin from Fastflyinmedicines.com. Everything went badly wrong when the 80 MPH drone developed a software problem and hit him in the head.
Laptops for content creators and CAD designers have been stuck in 4-Core, 3.3 - 3.7 GHz land for many, many years. 6 cores, 4.8 GHz max and also Optane memory will definitely make a difference in this area. If your last Core i7 laptop was bought 2 - 3 years ago, a new Core i9 laptop should feel much faster in comparison. I would have loved 8-cores instead of 6, but maybe that's coming next.
What happens if someone with lawyers requests to remove or unlink his or her owned library of Steam-dependent games from the Steam service? Does Steam have the legal right to keep games you paid money to own locked into their DRM garden and DRM client? Or could someone successfully argue "I own these games. I should have the right to leave Steam and keep my games running!" in court? That argument could well be the "design flaw" in Steam's Death Star. One change in the applicable laws, and Steam might be FORCED to let you take your Steam games out of Steam's service and allow them to run like normal, independently executable Windows or MacOS apps again.
My AI cannot parse what you have suggested properly. Why? Because it doesn't have Jensen Huang's new 640 AI-Petaflop-Supercomputer-Zommmgg-UberMensch Tensooooor cores yet.... (Runs out and desperately looks for a shop that sells Nvidia Volta GPUs)
This is "Nvidia Is Getting Desperate's Law" at best: No huge leaps ahead in GPU design or game lighting calculation quality every 18 months? (Distraction in 3...2...1...) "Buuut the 640 Tensooooooooooor cores are sooooo fast zomgggg... realtime denoising.... zomgggg.... the Artificial Intelligences are learning faster.... zommmggggg.... that we need to name a new law about them.... (Reference to Shadow Warrior: "Who wants some Huang???")
The difference between Democracies and Communist countries is free journalism. When something bad happens in a democracy, there is a fair chance that - eventually - the news headlines will read "scandal - our acting govt did XYZ immoral thing". The immoral thing may happen. But there is a fair probability that the citizens will eventually find out about it. How often does that happen in Communist China or Russia or North Korea? Show me a North Korean TV broadcast where Kim "did something immoral".
Except that many moral values and philosophical concepts that underpin modern Democracies in the 21st Century DO come from religion originally. Such as a human life having great value, for example, and people having the right to stay alive. In almost all political systems where "God does not exist at all" per the system's political ideology, scores of people who threatened the system in any way have been killed or otherwise bloodied right away.
"Brand" is exactly the right word. Is what the advertising says about China's "brand" of Communism being "a little different" truthful? What sane government locks 1 Billion citizens behind the world's largest Internet firewall? Even Africans have access to free Internet, mostly. I don't think China's brand of Communism is that different from any other Communism at all. I think that they have applied some very alluring makeup to that Communism. But Communism is Communism. And China is not capable of changing.
Except that in China the govt wants to know where you are staying expressly so people can enter the property while you are out having coffee somewhere and make copies of anything digital you may have left where you are staying.
If you were working on any kind of tech, software or invention that you intend to commercialize at some point, which country's spying would be worse for you? The Chinese would have 5 different clones of your invention on the market before you know its even happening, and good luck getting Chinese courts to stop the illicit cloning/theft of your IP when you DO have certainty that it has been stolen.
...expects other countries to put blind trust in its products? Trust us, we'd never lie to you? I for one have never seen any instance of any left-over communist country admitting to any kind of wrongdoing or taking responsibility for any of its questionnable actions at all. What's going to happen when Huawei products do something bad? Oh - of course its all lies, and "we'd never do anything like that".
Does the government of China believe in God, ethics, morality, freedom, human rights, self-expression? Does it? If not, why is what I said hogwash, dear AC?

Isn't that precisely how cybersecurity works as well? Good hiring strategy!

Its software then thought that the building wall was something the drone could make love to.
Its was a joke post, dude. Humor like in the Onion. There isn't really a source for those. =)

You shouldn't try to game Linux in the first place. Its not good for the security of Linux servers, or the integrity of the Linux kernel. =)
