However we are in a process now of going up on the uncanny valley. Where CGI characters use to seem like animated corpses, now they seem like people with Novocain injected in their faces. Even in Rouge One, I didn't really notice the CGI characters until my second viewing, they did a decent job on its editing to try to distract us from the fact there was a CGI guy in front of our faces. Sure the face moved a bit odd, However it would have moved odd if they had some sort or prognostics as well.
If you have incompatible hardware, why run Windows 10? The primary job of an Operating System is to interact with the Hardware. If Windows 10 can't use it, why use Windows 10? Downgrade to Windows 7 (Or Linux (If Linux supports that hardware)), Replace the old hardware. Having done software development, I understand we cant keep supporting legacy hardware forever, because that will prevent us getting the new features of the newer hardware. However if you need that hardware you should owe it to yourself to use an OS that will support it.
There is an old saying. Even a Broken Clock is Right Twice a Day (It is old saying, before digital 24 hours clocks where a broken clock may not even show a time, or blink 12:00 which is only correct once a day... But I digress) A flawed or evil organization even if they are mostly bad, will have some element that is good. We should commend them for trying to do good, while stopping them when they try to do bad.
Apple isn't primarily a Software company. It is primarily a hardware company. The software well well designed to work with its hardware, will often fail once people start using Apples devices beyond its prescribed actions. (Back to the lack of options argument) Android/Linux/Windows are more flexible then Apples offers. Hence why you see Apple having failed in the server market, or even as the primary desktop system for big organizations. Smaller companies are fine with Apple products, you can normally spot the consultants in a big organization because they are the ones with Mac Laptops. While everyone else is using ThinkPads, or Dells. For key reasons, of more tools available to do these odd jobs that you may need the system to do, without a comparability layer.
Apples prices have always been within about +\- 10% of their main competitors. The problem has always been is Apple has a limited number of options. For the Macs they are priced and speced the same as other prebuilt upper mid quality computers. If you were to spec a competitor to have the same features you will be paying about the same price if not more. But the issue is the device have a lot of features some we don’t care about but it is there and cannot be removed so we are paying for unnecessary features. The same thing with the iPhone. It is priced similar to other phones of all same features. But we can’t pick an iPhone with a lesser quality camera, and a sd reader. We get what we get. If you don’t like it they are other phone makers who make really good phones too. But if you want an iPhone but not by Apple you will be paying a lot to find the all the features and pay about the same amount. But if you want the headphone port and don’t care about OLED then you have options.
China has 10x the population as the US, its area is roughly the same size and has nearly the same access to similar resources. In theory China should be able to be the #1 Economy in the world, but it isn't. While the US isn't perfect, China has a lot of policies and rules that are extremely oppressive, many rights that we take for granted, even if we are in some oppressed minority, is not there in China. These things slow down the economy, and make it difficult for them to truly reach their potential.
Also the US is more apt to have its problem on its sleeves, the violence, and political bickering, and people disagreeing with our leaders is very public. In China the state run media, covers it up.
As American Citizens we need to be vigilant to rules and abuses that threaten our rights. Understanding that having these rights will make America less safe, but will allow for continued growth.
If you are not nice, why are you answering on a support board? If you want to help someone you don’t want to piss them off unnecessarily because if they don’t follow what you say, you are not being helpful.
You make it sound like being professional is a hard thing.
I need to agree. Many of the “answers” are just bullying people to follow their methodology. The one I personally hate is “Why would you want to do that?” Question. The answer is because we are coding something that does something slightly different then what we can get. Thus we need to code an uncommon feature that may need something a bit odd, which their presious methodology just will not work. On stack exchange I am looking answer to a small part of the problem. I don’t feel the need to give the full story to justify why I can’t use library X or just use such methods that has that one flaw that I seem to be running into hence why I am looking for an answer for.
Well here is the thing. By ending NN, what is happening is exactly what I though would happen. By ending a relatively simple and uniform set of rules. That can be applied across the country, it we now have a set of rules and laws all slightly different and ever changing, across different states, and communities in the states. In essence making it difficult and expensive to follow a policy, and be compliment in all customer bases.
So we have 100 mayors, so they are two cities/towns for each state (on average) that are demanding different sets of rules. If you are running an ISP, you want to run your organization the same across all your customers. An ISP will often cover multiple towns, My ISP covers nearly a 50 mile radius, spanning dozens of towns. Having that one town who plays by a different set of rules is tough, if they are multiple towns demanding NN they may want a slightly different version of what they think NN is.
Sounds good in theory. But there are some areas where these local governments are begging for anyone to provide services to their area. The United States has a lot of low populations towns, even in States Like New York, you go past New York City, Some towns are just farm communities. These communities need High Speed internet to do their business, and stay connected to the world, but ISP don't want want to lay miles of cables just to support dozens of customers, if these dozens of customers can pick and choose, it wouldn't be profitable for these ISP's to even try to compete. So what is better having an ISP Monopoly in your area, or no ISP at all? Other then the idea of a government controlled ISP (Which these rural areas (even in blue states) are very conservative, and will reject) can work. But I think the better solution is to disconnect the ISP from the wire. Meaning you will need to pay two bills, one for the Infrastructure, Cable/Fiber/Land Telephone. And one for the ISP. The Infrastructure Company needs to be highly regulated, while the ISP(s) you should be able to pick and choose from a wide verity, where market can choose, and are less dependent on location. This was how ISPs worked in the Dialup days, You can go with a Big Name such as AOL, but you could go to a local small business ISP, back in the day I used a Hobby BBS turned ISP, And paid under $10.00 a month for Internet Access (it was based on usage, so some month I paid only a few bucks). But I also had to pay for the phone line, that costed me roughly $20.00 a month. While I no choice on the phone line, I could at least pick an ISP, based on factors at the time, as phone variability (lack of busy signals), maximum modem speed, Connection Quality, Do I get an email account, do they support SLIP and PPP, and Pre NN days, some sites did throttle and give fast lanes to sites and services, which meant I could determine if it was worth it or not. The flaw in dummy Pai logic is the fact we do not have competition with high speed ISP. And most of America cannot have competition in their area.
Beyond resolution I expect the UHD TV look better, just because of newer displaying technologies. Brigher OLED, better angles on LCD. The color contrast on a 1080 OLED can give an over all better experience then a LCD 4k monitor.
Granted for normal users Regedit should be avoided. But if you are going to optimize Windows it seems like a tool that is needed. Even though in my opinion the registry was a bad idea. But they use it, so we need to be able to edit it.
Group A doesn't like Group B. An extreme wing of group A gains power and tries to kill off Group B.
This isn't about any particular set of values or beliefs. It is just an aspect where Extremists parts of these groups get in control Normally we get this when such groups will look into themselves and say that members of the groups are not enough aspect of such group to be considered members.
Eg. Not Conservative Enough, Not Progressive Enough, Not Pius enough, Not scientific enough.... Extremists find ways to draw strict lines, with for us and against us. Once such lines are drawn it is easy to begin dehumanizing such group, to a point where killing them seems like a rational step.
This isn't survival of the fittest. Because such Groups if win, rarely hold onto their power, because with strict definitions of a code, the complexity of the world soon weighs that system down to failure. Then during this failure time, if they had killed off enough moderates would make it much more difficult to rebuild, and get taken over or be absorbed into the larger moderate group. Some will live their lives in hiding, others would had learned their lesson and moderate...
Now having a political stance, religion or lack of one. Isn't a bad thing. And grouping with like minded people helps offer a sense of protection, and be able to offer resistance to ideas that you may feel as wrong. But Evil happens when stop using your heart and try to one up the next guy on being the most pure in the cause.
We actually solved the problem of depressions by calling them recessions.
My expectation is this sense of global nationalism is it may put us in a recession, enough to make people realize that we live in a global world, and we cant put the screw on an other country without it coming back to us. Just as long as we can get over the bead and circus that is going on.
The thickness of the Laptop was needed to fit in all the parts. That is why it was so thick, modern laptops are far better at meeting the performance requirements of a desktop, then they were back in the late 1990's where a Modern Laptop is now normally less then a year behind a Desktop in performance. Back in the 1990's it was often 2 years behind. When PC's were getting Pentium 150mhz chips, top of the line Laptops were running 486 66-100mhz. These were not marketed or made as desktop replacements, but expensive desktop supplements. For the high paid CEO or consultant. Who needed a computer that performed good enough. But was no way near what you could get on a desktop at the time.
But inside these thing, where a lot of parts that needed vertical space. CPU with heat syncs, Accommodate 25 pin ports such parallel port, and serial. Batteries where big and bulky. The height was needed, but it created a lot of empty space. So they used that space for putting stuff in.
Today USB, takes up a lot less space, and the components are designed to run cooler, so there is less need for so much space, so we can get away with a thinner system.
Because it isn't as catchy as "Will wait to implement site level throttling." and Comcast Sucks ins't news is is just matter of fact.
The thing is people get emotional because Net Neutrality is touted as killing off your netflix and your youtube. But the real damage is all the stuff that your ISP handle that isn't consumer level. I have 100mbs internet connection at home. I will VPN into work to do my work. If my ISP decides to throttle VPN Connections (because it is what bad people do too) And my work doesn't have the money or the willingness to pay the ISP ransom amount. I am stuck using a product Advertised as 100mbs but only getting 10mbs because they decide to throttle it. I could care less if Netflix takes an extra 5 seconds to load, or I don't get 4k resolution. But If I am transferring hundreds of megs of information back and forth of work data, then having to wait is wasting my time, and costing my company money. And I am getting ripped off, because I chose that ISP because of the bandwidth promised me.
Most phones I have seen can record in Portrait mode, you just need to hold the phone horizontally. The answer why, people normally record on their phone vertically, it is because that is how you normally hold a phone, and the design of the phone it is easy to cover the camera with your hand if you hold it vertically.
I don't think it is an issue with esthetics. But an issue of what we think a computer should look like. A typewriter with a TV on top. TV's have switched to wide screens, and so have Computers to keep up with the look of a typing device with a TV on top.
A vertical display laptop could be designed to look just as futuristic and objectivity beautiful as our current laptops. The real issue is that people will not like it, because Monitors have copied the display of TV's, TV's copied what Movies show, Movies have been designed to viewed in a landscape mode. (Craning our neck to watch movies would be painful). As we have been evolved to see things mostly on the horizontal axis. As something will more likely attack us in the same plane we are in, vs something attacking from us from below or above.
Also the problem is these interfaces have been designed based on a Paper layout, which each page is vertical, although the books when open gives us a horizontal view of two pages.
I myself would prefer to see a 2:1 display, where full screen apps will be multi-column. and/or applications can run side by side without those stupid horizontal scroll bar appearing.
We have rivers that fan out into the ocean. How far up the river do we go until we are no longer at the coastline. I want to sell my home to be on the coast even though it is hundreds of miles away from the ocean and thousands of feet above sea level, however there is a little stream next to my home, which leads to a creak, that leads to a river, which leads to a larger river then goes into the ocean.
