Way too many of you don't actually need to be driving every day but still are. I realize that's immaterial to food/resources shipping, but it's still the bulk of the weight of emissions and fuel waste. What we're looking at here isn't the real problem. The real problem is wasteful employers demanding their wage slaves jump through these unnecessary extra hoops just out of some blind devotion to an obsolete tradition, or else some sick psychotic enjoyment of the sense of control it provides them to be able to order them to do in some cases even hours of unpaid work before and after each shift.
It's funny, I remember being at work when they announced this speculative execution crap. I remember thinking to myself "wait... that doesn't sound very secure..." and my co-workers suggested not to worry as it would be years before anyone discovered an exploit. I was uneasy, but I wasn't holding any Intel stock either, so I shrugged it off and moved on with my day. Funny how the past catches up like that.
No, the 10% of cost part is not fair at all. If you want to be fair they would have to refund the difference in cost over the equivalent AMD offering these customers would otherwise have purchased at the time. Remember, that last 10% of performance is a lot more than 10% of the total cost. The actual number is going to be closer to 50% of the retail value of the chip in most cases.
He's just astroturfing for them. If consumers in the US realized that everyone in other countries had native FM radio support in their cellphones all along and why that was the case, there would be massive outrage.
Yes, they can just like they can save public security surveillance, and data preservation in a way that neither commercial nor government endeavors are possibly even capable of. They won't though, because a critical mass of people are simply too stupid to realize it. And I don't mean that they're too stupid to actually do the work. One or two people could do all the work. All the bulk of the rest of the populace would need to do is cooperate by plugging in the damned devices. They're just too stupid to even realize it's necessary. Maybe this is proof they don't deserve salvation after all.
I feel that the previous two Nintendo consoles (the Wii and Wii-U) are also suitable for your list, if you are primarily only concerned with Youtube, Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix (which to be fair is a lot of cord-cutters) and can be attained probably pretty cheap now, new or used since the Switch is out, but you won't get 4k.
Unless you've been given a whole computer and Windows license for free, there's no conceivable world where the price of this justifies it as a solution.
Has anyone repurposed a Steam Link for this type of thing before? The hardware should be more than capable, and I saw they were on sale for $4.99 occasionally.

Game crash in Windows:
- full system lockup
- hard reboot
- inevitable data loss
- no recourse
Game crash in Wine:
- laugh at the foolishness of Microsoft slaves
- kill Wine and restart it
This seems underrated to me. Maybe ditching the CEO is going a bit too far, but they definitely need to get serious about software QA.
Well, at least on the train ride you can get some reading done.
You're just mad you wasted a sock-puppet mod point trying to silence me.

This is what I've been saying for years. Why trust any of the chips, period? There's absolutely no way to audit them post-manufacture.
No, what they're afraid of is that Huawei phones can be broken into by someone else.
Sorry to have to break it to you, but nobody here is gonna shed a single tear over AT&T's discomfort.
Have spares on-hand. This is elementary.
Mac OS X has had this feature for nearly 20 years.
So the question is "Why is what's happening in North Australia a problem?"
Is the answer "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?"

Well, some of us have always known the reason was bunk. Now it's just obvious to everyone else, too.
That last 10% performance edge costs a hell of a lot more than 10% of the total price, and you know it. Everyone has always known it.

It's gone rogue!
The fact the director of the FBI can be this stupid.

You seriously have never watched it? It's great. Honestly it's even better if you don't buy into it. You're missing out.
Yea! And what's this I hear now about her saving the planet?
You deserve a +1 funny for this one.
