Seriously? The Seychelles have less than 100,000 people. They should absolutely not have an "ambassador" on the international stage. That would be like some idiot from one of the bum-fuck suburbs around any city in the States randomly showing up and pretending that they mattered. This really irritates me. Not that I disagree with him, of course, but he and his islands are just not important enough to be quotable. Of course everyone deserves a voice, but it must be proportional.
I'd say moving to FLAC is a better idea. What with storage and bandwidth no longer being an issue, lets eliminate lossy audio compression once and for all!
Why would anyone *disable* automatic updates on Windows? With it being widely known as such an insecure OS, that just seems insane. I've never heard anyone give such advice, but if they did, they surely deserve a smack on the head.
Will Lyft (and Uber) continue to operate on a contract basis, expecting individual contractors (since they're not drivers, perhaps they need to be called "investors?") to purchase their own self-driving cars to use with the service? Or will these companies purchase their own vehicles and get into the actual service business themselves? I personally think the ideal situation in the future is the complete elimination of personal vehicle ownership, but since I don't see that happening, allowing people to direct their vehicles to work for rise-sharing services while they are at work or sleeping seems like a great idea.
This is a terrible opinion written by an ignorant person. The ONLY way we are going to force users to update their software is to have these kinds of dangerous out in the wild. We need to create a better culture around security, and this is one (excellent!) way to do that. If anything, companies should *stop* supporting software sooner, rather than later. Windows 7 and 8 should be gone. Corporations need to re-think their IT strategy that for some bizarre reason makes it ridiculously complicated to update client operating systems. Dumping Windows would be a great first start. It makes it far too complicated a procedure to update, dealing with registry and hardware incompatibilities, etc. Updating a managed network client OS should be as simple as sending out an OTA patch on a mobile device. But Windows makes that pretty much impossible. It's time to dump it, in the name of both cost savings and security, not to mention functionality!
What are you talking about? Magisk works just fine.
It's obviously going to be a continuous cat and mouse game until the corporations finally just give up and realise they're spending millions of dollars to defeat an extremely small minority of users. Imagine if they tried to do this for Windows PCs...there would be a riot.
"iPhone and Android" do NOT dominate personal computing. Just Android. iPhone still has very little market share. When will people get this through their heads? iPhone is still basically a niche market. Thankfully, it's all about Linux now, primarily powered by Android.
They're regulating themselves into irrelevance. Well, good riddance. Cannes is long past its prime, anyway. I certainly don't give credence to their official selections anymore, and neither should anyone else.
I don't understand how these people have money to spend on Amazon purchases in the first place. They're always whining about how they can't get jobs and have huge student loans to pay off their useless, private liberal arts college degrees. How are they doing all of this Amazon shopping? These days, I tend to order things once every 1-2 months at the most. I just don't get it.
These are co-processors. Basically entire second computers added alongside the primary. GPU functions are only a minor part of their capabilities. It's like calling my mobile device a "phone" because it has one app called "Phone" which I use twice a year.
Does no one remember when installing a match co-processor in your PC was the new hotness? This is the same thing!
You shouldn't feel sorry for them. They all *chose* to work for such a vile company. It's not as if Microsoft's history is a secret. They knew perfectly well what they were getting into. And honestly, Windows 10 was the *least* of Microsoft's problems over the years. People are whining and complaining over nothing.
You clearly don't know what you're talking about. A database is vastly different from a CMS. There's nothing fast about "the native filesystem." It might work fine for running your blog, but for any serious database application, it's a non-starter. You honestly can't even compare the two.
Who in their right mind would trust business-critical data to Microsoft? Honestly? It makes no sense. Surely no respectable devops person would allow this. Is this 'Cosmos DB" even open source? How does anyone know what it's doing with their data? Microsoft seriously needs to get out of this market.
Or you could just...you know...put your money where your mouth is and use an operating system that doesn't do this. Instead of continuing to support MS and just *hoping* that they eventually do what you want, when they have shown absolutel8y no inclination to do.
Anything developed using tax dollars MUST be made open source and freely available to all. It absolutely should, and *must*, be available on the internet.
On the surface, this seems like such a stupid thing to do. It makes you wonder, though, the few cases like this we actually hear about must be in the minority, meaning people are getting away with stuff like this all the time. What leads a person to grow up to be so morally compromised as to think this kind of behaviour is acceptable?
Building networks is actually quite cheap, in comparison with the profit margins of major telecommunication companies. This is how many less developed countries are able to offer higher speed internet access to residents for far less money, using the same commodity networking equipment.
Trying to co-opt public outrage over net neutrality to a related, yet still entirely separate issue, is despicable. Net neutrality is absolutely one of the "real" fights. The idea that there can be only one is absurd. Who the hell is this woman? "Forget net neutrality?" No, fuck you. I will fixate on net neutrality as much as I damn well feel like it. She's actively hurting the case for her issue by spreading this nonsense, and that's a shame, since it is an important issue as well. Most U.S. Americans have absolutely no clue just how much more we pay for so much less than the rest of the civilised (and often, even uncivilised!) world.
It's only an "injustice" if the company didn't offer you to keep your job at the rate the Indian company was offering. If you refused to work for so little, then that's on you. Nationality does NOT make one person better or more entitled than another!

Really? "There has never been another audio format as widely supported as MP3?" Not, oh, I don't know, WAVE or raw PCM? Come on...

...for now. Judging by their statement, I wouldn't expect that to continue indefinitely.
It's pretty trivial to create separate user profiles on Android, actually. It does exactly what you are looking for.

I know Windows is pretty much garbage, but come on...even has had a clipboard since the Windows 1.0 days...
What I don't understand is: "you can access all your files in the cloud without having to download them and use storage space on your device."
So what, it downloads them to RAM only? That sounds just a bit dodgy. Hell, even the browser will cache things to disk. Is this just an outright lie?

Yes, just hand over the credentials to all of your social media accounts to this innocent Chinese company. What could go wrong??
Your deplorableness is leaking.
