Have you seen "Idiocracy"? Yesterday's trying-default-mfg-passwd is today's "hacking".
Look on the plus side: if you *do* change the default password, you are a "security expert".
Can't tell if trolling or serious... Electric cars have a slightly lower range in the cold, but perform just fine. They're not powered by lead acid batteries.
Why the fuck would I buy a new car every 5 years? If your quoted safety issues were true, the insurance structure and spread on cars up to 25 years old would be much different. Maybe use your own brain instead of listening to junk your dad told you about how the world works.
Agree.
The nature of information is simply just that. It can't be changed by publishing houses. Publishers will need to either adapt their business models to suit the new nature of information dispersal or perish.
The truth is that if people want the information, they will have it. If me paying 15$ for an ebook is the shortest and/or easiest path to that information, I'll pay it. So will everyone else.
Second hand markets are natural progressions of healthy economies. If you block one avenue for them to form and develop, they will simply form somewhere else. But people WILL get their hands on used eBooks somehow.
Of course they do. "stop and think" is not taught in schools anymore (if it ever was). The only reason my kids aren't getting their PCs owned every 2 months is because they're sitting behind pfsense and the file server is virus scanned daily. I can't even imagine what millenials do when their stuff doesn't work any more.... oh wait, I do:
"Meh. I'll just buy another one."
Typically, wrt-based firmwares unlock this "region" stuff. If you don't have access to 13 on a device with stock firmware, that device is not certified for sale in your region and you should return it.
Not good. The ASUS Broadcom SOC-based routers are a good bet, but many routers like D-Link, TPLink and Cisco/LinkSys themselves implemented 802.11ac by means of a secondary chip on the USB bus, which has sketchy support.
Oh, here we go. "Fork it yourself!" Is that the answer for everything now? Canonical isn't just astronaut money, you know. Users put Ubuntu on the map and as such should be treated as stakeholders. Your comment "I've been using Ubuntu for years and it works for me." speaks volumes. How have you dealt with Gnome 3? Unity? Ever had non-PAE support yanked out from under you? How did you like when Canonical blindly followed Debian and ripped out ffmpeg? You may enjoy telling others to go build their own car when they're not satisfied with it, but many who put effort into filing Launchpad bugs *and* coming up with solutions may not appreciate your use-it-or-get-fucked attitude. Off with you!
Depends on your use case.
For finding fastest route to an area, Google Maps is awesome. But consider how many 911 dispatch services for police/fire/ambulance use Google maps... probably next to none.
And that's because Google maps is good at statistically likely matches... matching your current location with a (rough) destination using the most efficient path? They're great. Making sure the cops arrive at the correct house for a domestic disturbance? Not so much. Because that "Last mile" is left to the user, this fuzziness also makes the Google Maps approach totally unsuitable to have an Amazon drone deliver your package.
Ironically, the most reliable guide I used in my delivery days was something called an Arrow Street Guide, which had no map at all... it was a series of cross-referenced tables of streets, intersections and address ranges. Because its smallest unit of measurement was the "block", it was VERY accurate.
Of course, it presupposed some knowledge of a city, but this definitely speaks to the fit of a tool to the application.
No, but a 30-second Google search on "what is Exchange" should be well within the capacity of anyone, even without any work experience and especially for someone who feels the need to make the first comment. One might argue that it actually wastes everyone's time.
Using your own rationale, a person who knows nothing of Exchange shouldn't be shooting off their mouth about it in the first comment. This isn't Kindergarten, you're expected to be exposed to technical content on a technical site.
However, in our current world of grey-area smartphone data ownership (corporate/personal), it's nice to have more options like allowing users to connect with the GMail app. The days of have a corporate *and* personal phone are going the way of the dodo.
If you don't see why Exchange integration in apps, I posit that you are not a corporate nor high-volume email, calendar and contacts user. Fact is, Exchange integration is a must for many jobs.
1) as I mentioned to someone else here, Snap does not solve this. Root installs, so be responsible for root! 2) there is a trade off in liability with the convenience of package management, which is that it's up to the sysadmin to approve software sources before installing them. No one gets a free lunch.

Why did you post this? No relevance to tfa.

... They mean " being forced on users. Classic canonical.

Aaannnd google maps still gets it wrong. A lot. There are utilities to both paper and gmaps.

Maybe this person does not know what Exchange is.

POP? Who the hell still rolls out POP? The default for Exchange has been MAPI forever...
The standard Mail app is no longer supported. The GMail app is the mail app now.
Touchdown is old, badly coded and sucks. Event the now-deprecated Android Mail client does a better job.
It already does.

You use alpine on android. Really.
I think you misunderstand. The calendar data is merged into the calendar app, mail with gmail app.
Ah, I see all roads lead to idiocracy.
Haha. Spoken like someone who never tried to install Mandriva Linux and have Yum break X.
