I'm not most people, but I did exactly this (with an SD card).
I went through photos on the card, managed to fine one that included a USPS package, transformed the image to read a partial name and was able to scan the barcode to get a zip, looked at other photos and compared them to Google/Bing maps and found the street but not the address, then found several profiles on the web, ultimately matching one photo to a Facebook account using a cropped version as the profile photo.
I then created a throwaway email account to create a throwaway Facebook account under the name of Natalie FoundUrSDCard or some such, messaged her and posted the uncropped version of her profile photo, and waited.
She responded and sent her uncle to come pick it up.
So like, every communication app out there from Snapchat to Line to Skype to WhatsApp to the browser? Kids will add anyone on any service. More so if you try and prevent it.
CPUs have stagnated and Intel is reaching deeper and deeper into the high cost, no value segments of "integration" and "business solutions". No one uses IME, McAfee, or the other half-baked, baked-in features of their business CPUs. Regular servers run on Xeons but could easily switch to Opterons (or whatever AMD calls them now) and win on performance/$. They'd lose on performance per Watt, but that gap will shrink faster than Intel's fabrication processes. HPC servers all run AMD/nVidia/custom shit. Big Iron is locked up and will be until the end of time. Phones and compute sticks and tablets and shit are ARM's territory, despite Intel's efforts. The laptop/desktop segment is dwindling - especially in comparison to the other segments. For a while they produced the only SSDs worth a damn, but today everyone just buys Samsung.
Intel is losing their fabrication edge in two ways. There's a physical wall ahead of them that they're approaching, and the competitors behind them are catching up as Intel is slowing down. For most uses, the "good enough" line was crossed a long ways back. Their engineering brain trust is in CPUs as well, when they need to be in GPUs or materials.
We've already seen the frantic hiring and buyouts with no direction. The next decade will see more and more IBM-like behavior - less produced and more charged, reliance on licensing features instead of selling products, etc.
Unless we get a materials breakthrough that significantly changes our fabrication process or lets us run at 100 GHz+. At which point they'll milk it as long as possible until a competitor can do the same.
It's like you're stupid or something. It's not about penetrating objects and going further, it's about standing out from other frequencies that have penetrated objects to get to where you and your audience are.
Synthd female voices are also easier to do well and easier for a shitty phone/tablet speaker to handle. I've tried all manner of voices for my phone, and the default female one is the only one that doesn't sound like ass, unfortunately.
There's no indication that this will be a reintroduction of e-Ink displays to the Kindle line. This will be another Kindle Fire type device - a general use tablet running a crippled version of Android with Amazon's tracking and spying in place of Google's.
What kind of horse shit is this? It's a 3-dimensional material and the electrons within it will move in 3 dimensions whether you want them to or not. The thinner you make it, the more likely it'll be for the electron to tunnel out, Gotta Go Dawg! style. I guess you could restrict them to 2 dimensions if you were at absolute zero, but you'd never be able to check that to verify.
Raw ingredients don't have "manufacturers." If you think eating healthy means buying the hipster organic processed food, you're doing it wrong.
If you think "eating healthy" is grammatically correct, you're an idiot. You want an adverb after "eating", and the one you want is "healthily". Eat healthily is what you do when you eat healthful food. Note that you don't eat healthy food, as healthy food is food that is (itself) in good health. (Unless you're eating live, healthy things - in which case I'd argue they cease to be healthy once they pass your lips.)
Further, "doing it wrong" is incorrect as well. You want "doing it incorrectly" or perhaps "doing it wrongly". A case could be made for "doing it wrong" if you mean committing an injustice (a wrong) to something (it), but that wasn't your meaning.
It's the port design on shitty (Intel, mainly) mobos. They're not individually fused (or fused at all). The cable in question simply had the wrong pinout, and threw voltage onto lines that shouldn't have had that voltage.
You can't physically stop someone from applying potential to your exposed pins, but you can reasonably guard against it. Intel mobos typically don't (or didn't). All the brands people use for building their own (ASUS, GIGABYTE, ASRock, EVGA, MSI, Biostar, etc.) advertised USB (and other) short/spike/etc. protection as a feature years ago when it was becoming a frequent problem.
I for one expect a Google engineer who won't shut up about being a Google engineer to not:
1 - Buy the cheapest, shittiest, "100% Super Plus A-OK" cable from Amazon. 2 - Use a host device that has shitty USB ports that don't have fuses. 3 - Repeat the mistake after frying his shit. 4 - Repeat the mistake again after frying his shit a second time.
Shitty cables and devices suck, but the real problem is the ports on Intel's boards. On most of them, frying a single port will take out multiple ports, all ports connected to the same controller, or even the controller. Any decent mobo will have individually fused USB ports with various fault detection and protection mechanisms. This was common as far back as the Windows XP days - MS had error messages ready to go when the controller decides to disable an individual port. (I was reminded of these messages recently when configuring an older box in an environment that had no grounding to speak of, causing certain USB devices to fail when the machine was placed on certain surfaces.) Even an intentionally malicious device shouldn't be able to do anything but fry an individual port. (And on a good board, that port should come back up after a power cycle.)
I'm all for getting bad cables (and devices) off the market. But I'm also all for making sure the ports and controller are built well. I'm also against this Google engineer going on his little crusade. He fried three devices. The first is understandable, it can happen to anyone. The second time is understandable for a layman, but not for a Google engineer who won't stop talking about how he's a Google engineer. The third time is pathetic, for anyone.
This guy is waging a war out of embarrassment more than anything else.
2000 is very fucking generous. Most people would have a library under half that. People need to stop taking technical advice from a shitty, shitty web comic.
I bet the 270 million number also includes all the XBOX Ones and the few dozen Windows Phones, as well as all the licenses OEMs have bought for PCs they plan to sell.

SIMM modules? Where's the nearest ATM machine?
You don't have to update to play a game or watch a movie.
Unless your movie is on Netflix or some other online service, or your movie is a BluRay that requires you to update your firmware.
It's like you're stupid or something.

Should've gone to DeVry.
I have a system that is:
- Analog
- Does not require electricity
- Durable
- Ambidextrous
- Gender neutral
- Made in the USA
It is called a flipping a US quarter. For $1.2M dollars, I will provide 1 case of 2000 quarters and a training video on how to flip coins.

You've posted this multiple times. I dare you to explain why the dual slit experiments show electrons to be divisible.

Pretzels particularly.
