Can confirm. I'm a gun owner and am done with YouTube. I am fed up with YT Kids too, there's some VERY disturbing videos popping up there daily, and reporting them doesn't seem to help.
To date, OnStar doesn't do anything negative when disabled, and you can just pull the fuse to disable it with no lights or warnings. OnStar emergency response is a subscription service you must pay for (after the initial free period) if you want it. Outside of the subscription, if you disable OnStar, you miss out on relatively superfluous features such as the monthly email about vehicle 'health' and the ability to use your phone as a keyfob.
Yes, and it's typically pretty easy once you locate the module. The cellular radios are often socketed and easily removed, and barring that, there's a bunch of ways you could attack and disable the radio from effectively connecting to a tower (e.g. pinning the coax going to the antennae).
Of course once auto manufacturers catch on that people are circumventing their systems, they'll just label them as 'safety' related and lobby to the government to allow punishments for interfering with them.
Pretty much any NAS has a media server now days, and pretty much every TV has some sort of player app. If not, a Roku stick is dirt cheap and works well. This one is easy, and there's so many options to make it, technically. The question, of course, comes down to ridiculous draconian licensing making it "illegal" to do so.
I do like the new scissor mechanism in that it keeps the keys flat and level, but nearly everything else is a MASSIVE compromise in the quest for knife-edged laptops.
No travel really stinks. Even the iPad Pro keyboard cover has more travel and feels better. It's been nearly a year and I still can't get used to it.
The up/down arrow keys are too small for fingers to use, and the spacing is terrible. I miss the target on these all.the.damned.time.
The right alt/option key is pointless, should be replaced by a control key IMHO, but that's likely preference.
The lack of a taptic engine below the Touch Strip was a huge oversight on an otherwise novel and genuinely useful idea.
So I paid for Pandora for years, and stopped. The final straw for me was when they decided to play in politics and "take a stand" with the "Black Lives Matter" thing. I was already unhappy with the lack of a music catalog, I couldn't listen for longer than an hour or so before songs would start to repeat. They just got passed up by everyone else, and I've been a happy Spotify subscriber ever since I left Pandora.
Thanks, but I'll pass. This is just not a feature I want. Guess it's back to passcodes if I ever buy another iPhone. But to be completely honest, my 6 is fine for my needs, and to me the 7, 8, or X do nothing above and beyond the 6 that makes an upgrade compelling anyway.
This is the same pile of bovine excrement used in any attempt to destroy, um I mean "regulate" freedoms. They "may" have a slim shred of justification if there was concrete and irrefutable evidence of the imminent commission of a homicide, but we all know better.
iPod in a scanner sled actually works really well, right up to the point the battery swells or wears out. Then you yank the iPod out of the sled, and waste time sending someone to the Apple store to swap out the entire device since Apple's battery replacement program is really an $80 device replacement program. Then the devices come back to IT for provisioning and reassembly, and finally back on the warehouse floor.
This is what we're faced with today in our business as well. The iPod in a sled has worked incredibly well from a software and manageability standpoint, it's the batteries that are kicking our butts. We typically wait until a half dozen or so units are dead before we waste a half day sending someone to sit around the Apple store. The cost doesn't make me happy, it's not huge dollars but those are unnecessarily spent dollars. As such, I'm about to kick off development of our new order picking system, and I am going with generic Android devices with user replaceable batteries for this very reason.
I was born and raised in the area, lived and worked in Kenosha for many years until I moved out of state. There is a large skilled work force in the immediate area, having been home to a LOT of manufacturing jobs for decades. Many of those employers are now gone (Massey Ferguson, Case, AMC, Chrysler, etc.) but many remain (Jockey, Snap On, SC Johnson, InSinkErator) and more have moved into the area (Amazon, U-Line). For someone who knows the area and its people, I can't think of a location better suited.
Can't speak for all conservative Christians, but I'm quiet about my donations and charitable acts. If anyone is curious, Matthew chapter 6 sums it up.
I treat "the help" better than I treat myself. I do my best to treat everyone better, honestly. It pays off too. The kid taking your dinner order today may not be tomorrow. If you make an impression on people, good or bad, they'll tend to remember you.
Not to mention, it feels pretty darned good to bump into someone you met in a "lowly" position, only to find they've thrived and reached their goals. Every job is worthwhile, otherwise you wouldn't be paid to do it. People who take those entry level jobs seriously tend to also take their careers seriously, and they usually end up doing very well for themselves.
Some of y'all are WAY too hung up on the language, rather than on the message conveyed. Just sayin'
Hastings is playing the long game. What I heard is pretty simple - the demand for home grown content is sufficient to forecast sustained profit while burning through cash in order to get there. So then by reason, their expenditures in the near term are indicative of that belief. AND I would agree.
While Hollywood is looking at everything in their catalog to merely remake (poorly), Netflix (and others) who traditionally just distributed others' content are seizing a massive opportunity to get into the game (directly or indirectly) of content creation. House of Cards (Netflix), Orange is the new Black (Netflix), The Walking Dead (AMC), Game of Thrones (HBO), Breaking Bad (AMC) for a few examples.
You really cannot trust a word from Wikipedia on any topic that is more controversial than 5+2 = 7. And this entry reads like some sort of Healthy at Every Size trash. Not surprising since interest groups have taken to group-editing Wikipedia to further their own propaganda (http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/a-feminist-edit-a-thon-seeks-to-reshape-wikipedia, https://www.moma.org/calendar/..., https://hclib.bibliocommons.co...) etc

Ahh I see, operating system updates are merely ARTWORK updates! Who knew?
Sorry, can't dismiss it that easily. Perhaps it doesn't matter to you, doesn't mean there aren't actual ramifications for others. At the simplest level, it introduces issues with API usage for developers. With Android, you never make use of any recent API because you're painfully aware pretty much nobody can run it. With Apple, you're guaranteed to have wide support pretty soon after launch. That's big. Big enough that Google has made it a key point to tackle. But alas, just artwork updates right?
You know, as soon as you FAndroids can tell me how to update this phone to the latest revision of Nougat (7.1.1), that was bought running Nougat (7.0), your pointless blustering might just hold a little bit of weight. For all this "versatility" and "lack of being stuck in Apple's walled garden" crap you folks blindly spew, it sure feels restrictive here in Android-ville.
Now lets wait for a bunch of little propellerheads to start asking "what phone?" and "have you rooted?" and pointing me to some blogs where some guy somewhere hacked the shit out of something until it "installed" but freezes and crashes like crazy. But it runs! lol. Hardly.
In case some of you don't get it, this is why Apple is STILL winning. This is why Apple devices are perceived as 'better' by the masses. Because, well, they are. Sure some certain Android running device may do something an Apple device doesn't. Same looking back the other direction as well, no? The point is Apple devices work. Reliably, predictably, and consistently. I have both, I carry both, but when I need to rely on my devices one of them clearly shines - and it ain't running Android. I really do like Nougat a lot, but it definitely irritates me that not only can I NOT upgrade to the latest builds, there's ZERO indication when I will be able to IF EVER! That is a losing proposition right there.
Seconded.
Books could be written about all I don't know about sports. Grown men fighting over a ball is just disgraceful. I actively avoid buying anything using the word "sport", whether it being sneakers, cars or deodorants.
I've never even set my foot in a racket.
Introduce the youth to liquor before sports claims them.
I was about to jump you for not being a man at all, right up until that last sentence. Well done.

Come to Texas. We'll show you a man's gun.
C'mon, you know that ain't right. We'll show you several.

Apple and Samsung are now eating a big ol' dose of reality.

And it is unusable garbage (unless you're one of those weirdos who *LIKES* to do everything the hardest way possible).
You're probably the same guy who will talk tons of trash about how iPhones suck, but your Android phone is the most secure, stable thing ever.

Agreed, not a fan of the new MBP keyboard.

Agreed. I was invited when I was young, read the materials and quickly surmised they're a blowhard organization for fake smart people. Pass.

I'm a white male American over 30, so I'm unemployable. No job, no money. No money, no women. Fuck it, dude, I'm gonna watch porn now.
Can't tell if tongue-in-cheek or serious.
If serious, stop making excuses. Your 30's are your most employable years, statistically.
If joking, get off my lawn whippersnapper!

Good thing they remodeled Mars Cheese Castle.
I mean really, the right thing would have been to have left things alone.
