Windows XP, Windows 2000 both were based of the NT kernel. Vs Windows up to ME which were still based on DOS So compared to All the consumer level windows versions up to ME. XP was quite stable of an OS, and so was Windows 2000. But I argue that Windows 2000 was just a re-branded NT 5. As it wasn't really targeted towards the consumer market.
But XP based off NT... But targeted towards the Desktop Home user. Had a lot of problems especially early on. Compatibility problem with old DOS and Windows 16bit apps. Also during this time, Home users were migrating from dialup to Broadband internet. This has opened their PCs up to the first time, to a nearly always connected internet for viruses and junk to get in.
When XP was released it was a rough time for users.
You forget these companies political contributions. Nearly any company will pay political continuations to both political parties. Just so they have the people in political power attention. It isn't good. It isn't right. It isn't moral. But it is how it is done.
Most politicians will only go so far to put pressure on these companies, usually enough to get them out of the news.
Well Microsoft haters will hate. Chances are this BSOD is a fairly rare condition, and sending out an update at would introduce the BSOD vs the additional benefits of the update is a decision that will need to be made.
For all products there is a point where someone will need to say "this isn't perfect, but it is good enough". Because the cost of the flaw is minor while the improvements are great.
So Microsoft did the responsible thing Considered releasing a product that could possibly BSOD, or make people wait for a big set of improvements which could allow people to hack into their systems, or break something else. They figured the BSOD condition was common enough to not release it.
I havn't seen a BSOD in Windows in over a decade now myself.
I have had major processes get stuck, slowing the PC to a crawl, forcing me to reboot to fix it. Random bits of hardware not detecting only for me to reenable it (Wi-Fi, Touchscreen mostly).
The last time I got a BSOD was over a decade ago and I think it was on Windows XP.
I expect it is Musk takes a Tech Sector approach towards its products (High Automation, Smart Software, ). Many of them such as Automobiles already have an industry with its own sets of standards and best practices behind them. So it is interesting to see what manufacturing changes stay and what roles back to the traditional tried and true method. They are camps that wants to see these new methods succeed (because these new manufacturing methods can put America back to manufacturing again, by reducing the cost per employee per product). They are camps that wants to see it fail showing that the current companies are actually doing the best they can and any problems are from outside influences. Then they are camps that are interested it in in the academic approach, where it isn't about winning or loosing, but to see what works and what doesn't.
I expect Tesla when it expands will implement more traditional methods in the future, as well the traditional car companies will buy into aspects of Tesla approach.
"Back To"? It had never stopped. The Russian Spy system may had slowed down after the fall of Communism, but that was mostly because everything else in Russia was failing.
It isn't because we are the good guys, it is because we are the toughest guys. The actions of a nation are the equivalent of 8 year old in a school yard. All the kids wants to play a different game, however the biggest kid makes the final choice what to play. Many will join the game. Some will go with the next biggest kid and play their game. Then you get few kids on the swing set pretending not to feel lonely. Now the two big kids, if they disagree or want to use their stuff, will find ways to get it. Be sneaky pretending to play the other game, then run off with the ball to play their game, then they would have a counter measure, or they will just outwardly fight each other.
It isn't about right or wrong, it is just about asserting power over the others. And being part of the more powerful group.
Not much, but EU in general found the sweet spot to tamper free speech, so there is less dirty laundry being shown. This has its good and bad. But France being a smaller country (compared to the US, Russia and China) has more to lose from bad PR
Please ask a Galaxy Note 7 user about LiON batteries.
The main Risk with swapping batteries, is the fact older devices may not be designed for them to run on. Not expecting them to heat up as much, putting them in a confined location where they cannot expand. And just different power usage and lasting power change, could effect the usefulness of products.
Yes new devices should reconsider the standard batteries. But older devices there wern't much choices other then NiMH which have less of a life.
Most-efficient doesn't mean optimally efficient or doesn't have more impact then less efficient methods.
So lets say a cargo ship can ship 1 ton of material 600 miles on 1 gallon gas. But a cargo ship may carry 150,000 tons of product, and travel for thousands of miles. That is a lot of fuel used. So it may be more efficient then other means, it is still a big polluter. And we shouldn't use the fact that is the most efficient as an excuse not to make it better.
Just hold onto all your carbon. Then when you dock at the US, just release it all into the atmosphere.
Sure you poison major commerce areas, but Americans won't believe the science (so people dying will just be an act of God), and welcome these ships as an economic boom.
So you look at 50 years of advancements and we go (often during a time frame which you didn't reley on the old ways of doing things) Wow, Science was really expanding, Nuclear Power (New way to boil water that we have been doing for thousands of years), Space Craft (Those hundred year old rockets, were finally upscale), Computers! (The hundred year old adding machine and typewriter, got improvements.) Then you compare it to Today's advancements, Smart Phones, Quantum computing, Genetics.... Where we are comparing 30 years vs 50 years, and being that we are living the improvements, seeing the science that never panned out, and finding the changes to just be improvements on older designs. Where a lot of the failures before you were around to notice them, just kinda fell out of historical memory. They were a lot of sham ideas, and failures, "DDT is good for you and good for me".
Science has been flawed and questioned during WWII - 1900s too. it is just you didn't live it.
Heck, our ISP was out a few weeks, ago so we could only use our cell phones for internet access. (which we have 2 bars) so it was like living in the early 2000's with internet speeds under 1mbs. Too slow for streaming video. And we had to watch TV and work with programs installed on our devices. We have gotten a lot of changes, we just don't realize it until it is taken away.
That is why there is a profession of a scientist, and these people are even specialized in different areas. There job is to follow the Scientific process to help understand and document how things work. Now with a new found understanding of things, it gives more options for professions such as engineers. To help create better products, know where tolerance limits are, be able to create new materials. Based on a widening set of options to pick from. It also can be used by policy makers, to to help identify resource scarcity, understanding the effect of current polity and remeasure a response. Then we get to the brand managers whose job is to explain the newly engineered products and policies as an improvement over the previous ones. And finally we have the consumers who collect what is being offered.
Not all science will become a product, or a policy. Knowing that there a multiple black holes in the center of the galaxy, will not help become productized. But it could spark tangential science, which may become productized. Just like the initial research in the property of the Atom. We have a lot of products that use the property of the items before, we just didn't know why it did what it did. Then it sparked research into nuclear, and also it sparked interest into Quantum Science. Which we today use many of the principals in our nano-meter electronics.
Every new discovery is a tool in the shed, you may never use it, but it is there if you need it.
There is usually a discount for products bought in bulk. The $4.00 12 pack of soda, could sit on the shelf for weeks. vs. buying 4 12 packs at $2.50 will allow 4x the product to go off the self, and allowing putting in more space for the product. Prices on the store products are in essence paying rent for their shelf time. Faster moving products need less rent. Selling in bulk is an easy way on average to lower the length of time per product. Freeing the space to refill.
It isn't false advertising. Its price is $0.99 if you pay them a dollar they will need to give you a penny back.
Actually in US the part that I hate more isn't the $0.99 but the fact everything is +Tax I much rather know this item will be $1.07 out of my pocket vs $.99 * 1.08 rounded to the next cent. Being that I live near the border of two other states, and a country border. The Tax rate ranges from 5%-8%
If you are going to bother putting price tags where you cannot negotiate the price. We should at least know easily how much we are going to pay for the product.
I expect it had multiple inventors. Because people look at the highest order of magnitude in the price, then going further down they will use more rational comparisons to justify the price vs what you get.
The gasoline station. are the worse with 9/10th of a cent in their price.
The issue is he was using "Experienced" (AKA Used) parts. So he is using stuff that other people already paid Apple for, doing a fix that Apple didn't get paid to fix. To make it worse, if there was an issue and it went back to Apple they can't even point to the fact they used some 3rd party product.
Now I am on the independent repair guys side here. But using "Experienced" parts their life span may be already diminished so if he fixed a phone with a cracked screen and replaced it with a screen that had thousands of hours of usages and the display back light died after a month. The owner may blame Apple for making a crappy product. While they just got parts that were well used.
But I think it is mostly about a guy making money off of their products where Apple isn't get paid for.
1 in 10 doesn't seem such a big hit. I figure well over 1 in 10 people do not use Facebook regularly, all the news hype just reminded people that they don't use the site, so they just deleted their account.
It is kinda like the subscription model for budget gyms. They make their money from the fact that their prices are so low that people don't feel a financial hit for paying for a gym membership they may never use. So they don't cancel their account, yet they don't go to the gym. So the gym makes money and the regulars get an affordable gym price.
Probably, but it is more that Bezos owns a news paper that doesn't suck up to him. He will let the country fail, just as long as people are telling him how good he is.
Well if you bought a lemon of software then you should take it up with the software vendor. Macs only had about a year or two with 32bit intel systems there isn’t that much software of value that is still 32bit is there? For these complaining. What software is affected what does it do? And why hadn’t it been upgraded?
The rumors mill is that Apple will be releasing a new chip to replace Intel. Changing chips with new instruction sets, breaks compatibility like nothing else. I expect if Apple to switch chips they would want to keep backwards compatibility so they will have a converter for the previous binary format. So getting people off the old 32bit format will help prep them for the switch to the new chip.
Also to note Apple only had a small time with 32bit intel CPU. About a year or so. So unlike Linux and Windows there isn’t a mountain of software. There is just a small number that is 32bit only.
For most sites with User-Generated content for the business model. Normally have ways to find and remove inappropriate material. Otherwise their forums would fall apart from all the chatter and abusers. Doing this type of work to keep the forums clean in general is a good business practice to keep their business model.
The sites at risk are ones who just say "don't do that" with a wink-wink-nudge-nudge and cry when they are being targeted because there is illegal activity going on and they are not doing anything about it, behind a twisted version of free speech.
Free doesn't mean it doesn't have a cost to it. The free software movement has a tenancy of playing me too, with their non-free competitors. This is more of a marketing game then a technical game. Linux was the Unix clone. KDE/Gnome was to make Linux easy to use like Windows. Star/Open/LibreOffice is just like Microsoft office.
While if you looked at Apple's historic advertising it was less comparing themselves with their competitors, and more separating themselves with their competitors.
These technical comparisons only reinforce the fans. But if someone is using the other product, they are going to need something big for them to switch. AV1 may have something big for them to switch, but they are too focused on showing that they are just like everyone else.
