It seems like what you're saying is "There's no reason for this to be in a browser, except that for some reason OSes refuse to allow for sandboxing of applications in as rigorous a way. Which of course, makes me question why we don't just restrict the permissions of drivers and such on the desktop.
How is the "right approach" to run compiled code on my machine whenever a random person on the internet asks? At the very least JS, even minimized, is source code that can be opened and read.
Some people like Apple so much they are willing to put forth the effort to learn. Some people are not. But that doesn't seem to be relevant to this discussion.
A lot of Bill's philanthropy is actually for-profit investments.
There is a place for the "for profit philanthropy", esp. in medicine. Imagine a company that charged just over the bare minimum for their pills to cover the cost of production.
From my understanding, hotmail (or outlook.com) accounts are cloud accounts that also happen to have email. I didn't expect, even if forced to sign up with hotmail, that that would be used for email. But this is a semantic argument:-)
Oh, hotmail, Microsoft cloud with "whatever email you usually use", I didn't distinguish between the two (btw. hotmail is a MS product).. The important thing is you can create a local account instead
The menus don't float at the top of the screen, they're attached to the window. Closing all the windows will quit the app.
The filenames are case insensitive. This can cause some problems if you're moving them back and forth between the OSX and Windows machines.
Microsoft will try to convince you to get a hotmail account to use your machine. This isn't necessary, but I don't recall how to avoid it. Play around on that screen to keep your accounts local (unless you want them tied together).
Why install Chrome? You want Google spying on your daughter? If you like the engine, at least go Chromium so you don't have both Google and Microsoft spying on y'all.
I would rather have foreign government propaganda than have American government censorship.
Those two aren't even related. The most the American government has done is asked that people who purchase ads be identified. And that sound perfectly fair.
But, beyond that, the US government does have a point of view. And the POV should be expressed.
I'm not saying "This is immoral, therefore China is bad." I'm saying "This is a (propaganda) fight between two sides. China is on the other one, therefore it's bad."
It's similar to how I'll root for the military forces of my country in a war against another one, even if both sides are using the same tactics I disagree with.
If you don't like companies or people using the current rules....make some changes, but until then, quit bitching about it.
I think this "bitching" is really a statement that commonly interpreted as a colloquial way of saying "I disagree with the current legally acceptable practice of [whatever said 'bitching is about] and am advocating for having the laws enabling said practice changed." You occasionally see the reverse, when people are "bitching" about what they consider to be a common violation that should be legalized, decriminalized or have lower fines.
However, I worry that this was not an honest misunderstanding on your part, but a disingenuous response. Please assuage this worry by responding to the heart of this issue.
It could be intentional. After all, if Amazon wants access to your house, and you talk them down to just a camera-enabled Alexa, now you feel like you got somewhere. (Queue all the people who say that they never fall for those tricks.)
It's also a way to pump the initial sales of those cameras, since every smart lock comes with one. And even if 98% of Prime subscribers think it's stupid, that's still over a million units of camera-enabled Alexa shipped.
Why does the word "save" so often translate into delivering less with less?
Because they see themselves saving expenses with the same revenue coming in (at least for a while, but they'll get their bonuses before people stop renewing their long term contracts).
Last time I went shopping, a television was cheaper than a dumb screen for the size I wanted. Of course, it was also lower resolution, but I don't feel the need to pay for pixels I cannot see.
CNN alone gets over 6 million hits for fake news on google. To put this in comparison one of the few notable right wing sites, Breitbart has fewer than 700,000. Even with partisan politics in play that is a huge disparity.
Alternatively, CNN is having a lot of people pushing the story that it is fake news, in the same way a lot of people pushing the story that there is a war on Christmas. Brietbart has not many people pushing the story that it is fake news, in the same way not many people are pushing the story that was a war on Nazis.
In case you missed the metaphor, a lot of people online bitching about something is not a good indicator that it is real, and in some cases implies quite the opposite.
If people with power and money REALLY THOUGHT anything like this sea level alarmism was true, you would absolutely see this priced into seafront real estate prices
And that's why I keep all my money in tulip bulbs, internet companies that had IPOs in 1999, and real estate I purchased in 2007.
I actually really like my representative. But most people do.
But even if you're "voting for evil", fuck you child. You have a choice between two options. If you refuse to choose, or choose the worse one, you're fucking up.
People said the same thing about the NSA in the... 90's? Turns out the key generation restrictions they put in place were to avoid certain flaws the NSA was actively exploiting. That is, they specifically wanted keys they couldn't break. (Okay, they wanted keys they knew weren't vulnerable to being broken by another party.)

Excel is a really hard nut to crack. There are plenty of features that Excel has that Calc does not.
Also, if people spent more time building pretty presentation templates, Present would be a lot easier to sell people on./p.

One did.
Chromium is as secure as Chrome. It's just a fork with Google's "support for their ecosystem" removed.
Just responding so that the AC's instructions of the easy way to get a local account get noticed by people who browse ignoring 0 modded posts.

Not according to Amazon.

Well, in the first sentence of the summary they talk about "remote workers", and later they talk about freelancers, so....

Except people use a, what, maximally 10-20 digit PIN. And it's usually 4. So, it's possible to brute-force that way.
And if you doubt a state-level actor can disassemble the chip with its 10x bad passwords = wipe, I have a bridge to sell you.
