boot into linux , download the update , do something cool , forget about rebooting into windows and applying the update, keep doing cool things, evolve , etc....
This really doesn't seem like a QA problem to me (a professional QA) , it seems more like a pushy boss problem.
If it were a QA failure you could expect other related defects as they tend to cluster , this is because very few functions are totally isolated so if you have defect in a function its likely to effect others. In this instance i would expect lots of charge failures or rapidly depleting batteries in devices that had less serious variants of this defect.
Where you have a single component over specced and rushed to market thats something a QA is going to flag , but they can't fix it , the person receiving that flag was told about this and decided to sign it off as acceptable risk and lots of people got burnt, some more literally that others.
Whilst landfill is a horrible waste for these smartphones letting them explode is going to be far more damaging to the environment.
Samsung should be put under pressure to find a way to reuse the other parts and dispose of the batteries another way.
The issue seemed to be more that the batteries where not configured right than inherently dangerous so its possible a reconfiguration could be done with them.
All these rats eat stuff and poo it in the burrows. That will not happen anymore if you kill the rats. Hope they factored in the cost of moving all that stuff. I'll bet it will get more disgusting than the rats fairly soon.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Lauri is a highly ethically motivated hacker and a gentleman who has been stitched up by his government. I've spoken with him and I know your assessment is only based on the contents of your ass , which also seems to be your mouth.
The US does not provide leadership to the world, it provides bullying and aggression that make the world less safe.
Leadership should be about inspiration and bringing people together mutually, this is not the middle ages we are supposed to be enlightened by now.
Also disinformation is not the right term either given that mostly what happens is that people find out stuff that powerful people want to hide and that actually provides valuable perspective on how broken US politics is.
Suggesting that 2fa would have helped here is not helpful. This happened because an Iranian phone company was hacked, using 2fa via SMS is not going to achieve anything when the phone conpany is not trustable.
The real test here is how it copes with combatants trained using different techniques and equipment. Ai is only as good as its sensors ability to recognise what is happening. The test is too easy when your combatant is the guy who wrote the training manual you based the software on. I'm not saying he's a bad choice but there is a sample size of 1 here which should always ring alarm bells. No I didn't read the article, its on the daily mail website so not worth it
With the UK in the thrall of EU referendum I can't help think this would be a non story at any other time.
Its alarming how keen the media is to stoke racist devisions , please treat them with the suspicion they are trying to make you feel about other races instead of accepting it as valid.
Racists are second rate citizens, they are selfish and unhelpful. The easiest way to solve your problem is stop being a racist and only you can do it for yourself.
Uhd Netflix on my Samsung 4k smartv is awesome, its as perfect as I have seen.
You can make Netflix do 4k on a laptop with a browser hack bit its not as good.
I'm worried by the advert possibility but if it becomes a problem it will be easy to break Samsung's firmware encryption according to guides I've found online.
My smartv also does dlna so well I use it as reference implementation for my work testing media devices.
Most of the apps are just front ends for websites but there are some quite impressive games using unity. It really needs a nicer looking audio player app with a visualiser.
I can connect a USB hard disk full of media randomly collected over the last few years an it plays them all.
Not a farmer, an agribusinessman there is a big difference. The famer loves and cares for the land where as the later just uses it until its broke and moves on to go break somewhere else
They fund businesses not individuals, therefore they are pro business growth.
They have made no statements about limits to growth so a pro business growth at any cost.
Other organisations have raised concerns about limiting growth to sustainable levels for a finite planet but these particular ones are notable for not expressing that concern. I have a theory on why,
yes, selective breeding is one type of genetic modification, well done have a cookie (you might want to check the ingredients , if you are allowed to)
There are many types of GMO which is another reason why this study is suspect , its making massively wide claims about all types of GMO being safe which is not what real scientists do, you can't use generalisations like that.
I want GM to be something that is openly and honestly explored with the utmost safety without corporate interests (be they Monsanto, syngenta , bayer et al) contaminating the process as they have shown themselves to be greedy and untrustworthy. If there are benefits they must be realised for everyone or they become weapons.
I realise that governments aren't much better but its a start
so you are saying all organisations are of equal merit and people shouldn't distinguish between them ?
I can see the point you were trying to make, but you are making it in the wrong way for the wrong reasons.
Its perfectly acceptable to call out the impartiality of scientists who have spent their careers working for agribusiness. Its a clear source of bias and one that is not adequately mitigated from what i have read of that specific research. Any research that doesn't try to enumerate and mitigate the biases of the researchers is scientifically flawed and should not be trusted.
The clincher is really the making of such a divisive statement, marketers make claims but scientists are very weary of them.
The middle ground would be caution and respecting people choices, a simple way to do this would be to prevent commercial isation of GMO and make it part of the Commons like nature. Change like this should be democratic, open and consensual if it is to happen, at the moment its in the hands of corporations who are none of those things and are bound to the merciless need for profit and financial growth.
Most of those organizations are pro business growth at any cost, that's why they like GMO and fund research to sell it. The farmers of the world that GMO claims to help are so sick of top down reorganization they will not buy it , its that simple. GMO farming is buying into a system you don't control that will ultimately control you. Notice the careful wording about the situations where pests become resistant, that's because its not magic. If you offer a choice to indiginous farmers (without destroying their land first) they reject it.

To be fair there were phoneboxes everywhere in the uk before mobiles but now they are scarce and rarely working.
Suggesting that 2fa would have helped here is not helpful. This happened because an Iranian phone company was hacked, using 2fa via SMS is not going to achieve anything when the phone conpany is not trustable.
Logo on the bbc was my first introduction to programming and I've made a career of it ever since. Thankyou great pioneer and sharer of wisdom.
