The gig economy is simply a sidestep of regulation. We're fools if we ignore it, but we're screwing people if we don't use it. I can take a cab, pay more, wait longer, and get taken for a longer drive to raise the rate, but at least the cabby makes a passable wage. Alternatively, I can take a rideshare, pay less, get there quicker, not get screwed, but I'm screwing the driver over.
Airbnb is screwing over hotels and neighbors.
Restaurant delivery services screw over restaurants.
Yes, but it's not like apps can automatically install from other sources. You still have to accept them. Also, Google Play has all sorts of crooked, spying apps. It's not like it's an especially safe source. Better than most. Worse than Fdroid. I use both. I did uninstall Amazon Underground. That shit is pure spyware.
Wait, what? Of course the PSP is updatable, even in this way. To do otherwise would be terrible security. Once a flaw is found, there'd be no fixing it at all. Hence Intel has had updatable microcode since the P6. It beats a recall.
"The researcher claims that an attacker could use specially-crafted EK certificates to get remote code execution rights on the AMD Secure Processor, allowing him to compromise its security."
Is the TPM protected from writing? If not, I assume the certificate can be modified/replaced via software. I know that motherboards I've owned over the years typically don't write-protect the BIOS by default. Not sure if that includes TPM. Dell certainly makes TPM firmware updates easy via Windows software.
Either way, an agent could grab hardware mid-shipment, alter the EK cert, and then resume shipment. A very subtle hack.
Driving down the strip at night, looking at the lights, and showing off your car is one of Vegas's main attractions. They'd be idiots to close the strip. More pedestrian skyways crossing the strip would be great. If there's a location for the monorail, it's up and down the center of the strip, but that would ruin the view, perhaps. I've ridden the monorail once, years ago. Our friends used it to get from the MGM to the strip, but I just walked there and back. Didn't even mind it in 115 degree heat.
The Russians and Chinese have already split the net, blocking American news from their people. Meanwhile, they've been hacking us like crazy. Fuck them. Split the net.
Any company, including chip makers and cellular providers, who think that Apple is their friend or partner is just fooling themselves. Apple is all for screwing everybody, from software makers to glass makers to consumers. How about that new AppleCare warranty with the huge deductible? No thanks. Not coming back to the brand. Enjoying this on my Alienware laptop with an OLED display AND touchscreen.
Unless you use a ton of data, which I don't, Project Fi is a much better deal. 95% of the time, my wife and I are on wifi networks. We're either at home or work or a place with wifi. We end up using about 1 gig a month total between us, which leaves us a whopping ~$55 bill each month. I suppose if you're stuck on mass transit for hours on end, this is a good deal. Otherwise, I don't see it.
A Nexus 6p, a 55" 1080p OLED LG, and the new Alienware 13" OLED gaming laptop. I did comparisons to the best LED laptops and monitors. The OLEDs cream them all, even for plain text. As for screen size vs color vs black level, I find black level and color far more important. I do most of my watching on the 13" laptop. The kids watch on the big OLED. My wife watches mostly on her LED laptop, but that's because she watches in bed, and there's no longer a TV in the bedroom. She also insists on watching without glasses, so there you go.
All I do is point out that for the vast majority of people, there are several things that can make it work. Then you point out that, for the minority, it might be hard. Yay...

Good point. Last Pass or similar might help, too.

Uninstall and reinstall? Not too difficult unless it's a lot of apps. Which it isn't because F-droid has relatively few useful apps.
5 apps, you idiot!

AMD still feels the need to patch this.

Because buffer overflows are only usable with physical access? AMD fanboys are the best.
Elevating lets the traffic continue unabated, and there is often a lot of traffic on the Strip.
We're actually looking at buying a place. Strip or downtown, not sure. Possibly Summerlin, but that's so not Vegas.

Sorry, still tons of tomi lahren videos on youtube. Anti-conservative youtube is a myth.

Monstrous working conditions. SCREW AMAZON!
All this simulation bullshit's a stupid fucking idea held by morons. Why the fuck?
Yup. Pretty mad. I used to pay more for quality and a better OS. Now I can pay more for fancy box with a poor UI and slower hardware.
And your customers. And your employees.
