After Superstorm Sandy, Verizon refused to repair a lot of their damaged copper POTS lines, and required customers affected to use (4G) wireless connected via an adapter to their landline phones.
They're rolling out 5G to kill off copper completely, and to recover from the financial disaster of FiOS as a broadband strategy.
My (pristine condition) Nexus 5x started bootlooping almost exactly 2 years to the day from when I bought it. The most likely cause was mechanical stress causing BGA parts to separate from the motherboard.
Google was offering me a reduced credit towards a new Pixel, because bootlooping == 'Does not boot'.
I shipped it back anyway; it apparently healed in transit, because I received a full credit ($150, I think)
"Cobalt thorium G has a radioactive half-life of ninety three years. If you take, say, fifty H-bombs in the hundred megaton range and jacket them with cobalt thorium G, when they are exploded they will produce a doomsday shroud. A lethal cloud of radioactivity which will encircle the earth for ninety three years!"
"Mr. President, we must not allow a mine shaft gap!"
The original network should never have been dismantled. As a pleasure boater, LORAN-C was the cat's meow. I had my mooring position stored, my low-cost receiver never failed to alarm within 50 feet of the spot.
Your accountants have just told you that the risk of offshore bank accounts is too high, thanks to those schmucks at Mossack Fonseca.
The only solution left to hide your assets is the First International Bank of Blockchain.
Lots of cash pouring in, with an inherently deflating asset, the price has to climb.
When I interview, I ask about the work you've done; if you can't give me a clear, cogent explanation of what you worked on, what it did, and how you did it, that's a negative. The rest is general conversation. If you can't bother to ask a slightly insightful question about what we, the employer, do, or how we do it, that's a negative. If you can't perform some simple personal grooming before showing up, that's a negative. I don't care if you know how to fizzbuzz, because I know you can always look it up. What I want to be sure of is that you have the ability to ask the right questions about the tasks you will be given.
Once upon a time, hard drives came with a piece of paper listing the bad tracks. On a PC/AT, you would enter the list of bad tracks manually before partitioning.
I bought a used Micropolis 80 MB ESDI drive for my Epson Equity III PC/AT clone. Good times.
Unfortunately, 'an' Android is meaningless when it comes to the phone's UI. If you have a Samsung phone, you've got TouchWiz. I find that one incredibly annoying.
If it's an HTC, it's called Sense. Not terrible.
Sony and Huawei each have their own.
If you have a Nexus or Pixel, that's Android.
Let's be completely honest here: overprescribing of antibiotics by physicians, especially when a patient obviously has a virus for which an antibiotic is useless, is partially to blame for the widespread prevalence of MR bugs. Use of specialized, last-resort antibiotics for routine infection is common.
The other factor is the unconscionable "prophylactic" use of antibiotics in farm animals to sustain flocks in overcrowded conditions and stimulate weight gain in cattle.
You, or someone you love, *will* develop an opportunistic, difficult to treat infection as a result of trying to keep beef and chicken prices low.

The email they sent cost more than that.

..as others have mentioned, it just keeps getting faster, and goes further...
..because this is how you end up with Cybernetically Enhanced Telepathic Navy Dolphins.
Yeesh.

You can't ransom something nobody wants.
Specifically, FOCAL Amity 1969, on a DEC PDP-8/L with 4K core. Attached to an ASR33 with paper tape reader and punch. Good times.
..because soon, that's going to be the only place people will watch ESPN.
That's 55 hours of his life he's not getting back anyway.
All I ever do is click the mute button on the tab that just opened that obnoxious self-playing video.

Let the record show that Zuckerberg was an asshole long before he had money.
Comparing an operating system to Acrobat Reader? The real question is, why should a text rendering application have half as many bugs as an entire OS?
..which is how I prefer to delete applications. This is simple and sensible, which is why it will probably never catch on.
