"At any rate, the police observing and collecting information in plain view in public would not, IMHO, be unreasonable since you have no expectation of privacy in public."
This line of thinking ends where everyone is tracked everywhere, at all times. You need to stop with the blanket 'if its in public, its fair game' that applies to the public, it does not necessarily apply to police at all times everywhere.. Police need actual CAUSE to cast their gaze in this manner, not just fishing. Its one thing to send a patrolman to write down plate numbers, its another to completely automate the process to the point it costs almost no man power.
The solution here is to not go to the movies if you cant leave your device off for two hours. Obviously you are too busy of a person to take in entertainment if your employer needs you that badly..
Yes, i very much do. For too long we have coddled users, either they step up and learn some of this stuff, or they get left behind and cut off. A firewall configuration is not a high bar to cross in an Information Age.
The problem is that its not an.exe anymore, its a sandboxed app that reports everything you calculate with it. We still need a calculator, just not a connected one.
She cant even pause music played on the default Groove music player. I literally dont see the point of Cortana since all she does is provide web results. I dont want her to EVER search the web for me.
They are NOT listening. If they were listening they never would have split the OS into two personalities. If they were listening, all administration functions would be part of the OS, not in an App. If they were listening i could still disable the Store.
I was relating my experiences so far, in the US rollout of the Chip+PIN. Perhaps the Chip and PIN we have is different. Its slow, inconvenient and not at all universal.
Banking is based on trust, not absolute security. The Chip+PIN combo i have been subjected to is incredibly inconvenient only to push the liability to my side of the table. It is not any more secure. The only one benefiting from this whole thing is the credit card companies.
Im not going to upgrade my HTPC to Windows Server just to guarantee uptime. I record almost all of prime time TV and compress it down overnight. I cant have the machine rebooting in the middle of a record or transcode. It worked fine on Windows 7 as a 24/7 machine for half a decade with a pretty significant daily workload.
Defer Upgrades is too nebulous to mean anything. I want more control over the process. Even if you have defer upgrades on, MS can override it for a critical security patch. The plain fact is we have lost complete control over the machine at this point. You can no longer use the consumer OS to run anything 24/7 without risking random reboots. MS decides when and how your computer updates now.
Where i live, Prime is a value that is VERY hard to beat. I get 2 hour Prime Now delivery ( which i use at least 2 times a week), a nice chunk of storage, free 2-day delivery, Prime Video, Restaurant Delivery..
This is where we are now. Everything you buy today is sold with Darth Vader terms "I've altered the deal, pray i dont alter it further" with no recourse other than to not buy or stop using it. IN the past you could work around these things, but DMCA kills most of that.. Unless you are running open solutions, you are at their mercy. We are here, we have arrived. Its not some dystopian future, its here, now, today.
Plex offers a lifetime pass for $150. I LOVE my Plex server, i have it at my in-laws house on an 80Mb/sec symmetrical link. I am still going to sign up for Amazon Drive to get this. If one side is down, ill always have the other.
No, anyone educated in perspectives and witnesses knows that what one observers sees isnt necessarily the 'truth' other observers see. What video does is provide a static record of one viewpoint from an unbiased perspective. Saying it is pure truth is wrong. Its a singular unflinching perspective. Whether it reflects the 'truth' of the situation is another argument.
"Windows is a computer operating system and offers the power user near complete control of your system"
This is no longer true. Win 10 is an appliance OS. Microsoft can install and uninstall anything they want on the PC without even asking me. There are areas of the OS im completely walled off from. (like disabling the store).

I thought Avengers Age of Ultron would never end....Its was so unnecessarily long.
Even then, you still get stupid adults who think they are on-call brain surgeons who cant leave their comms device off for a solid two hours.

My keys and my phone always go in separate pockets. ALWAYS.

I thought Magnusson-Moss Act killed this argument 40 years ago. This is the same argument the automakers used to try and lock out 3rd party parts.

Sunk cost fallacy. Cut your losses and move on.

This kind of slippery slope thinking is EXACTLY why the right to bear arms is an enshrined right and not subject to your classifications of use.
Meh. I paid $75 for it in 2013. I'm already ahead.

Clippy is alive and stronger than ever. Google decided that darkening your phone screen to make sure you see some new feature was a good idea.

The ratio of good to bad Anonymous Coward posts is abysmal too, yet we still allow you to speak here.

Stop buying their shit, they are a toxic company. There is no reason to buy from them at all.
