Bad reputation? That's an understatement. It's an outright scam. If I see it on a system, that gets removed immediately - no questions asked. Even if it was a paid-for version.
CNN is generally sensational clickbait, but it's not terribly biased. You'll find a lot of people here read something more reasonable than CNN/Fox News.
No battery like this on the market is a reason why the home/grid storage market doesn't exist. The grid has been betting on capacitor-based storage so far, since they're not seeing anything else coming along.
First, if you know what you are doing, wiping and reinstalling windows takes more time than cleaning an infested computer.
More clock time maybe, but very little clicking or watching. In this case, they were also wanting to eliminate personal files and remove their profiles, and possibly any licensed software that they've moved to another computer - this is a computer that was being repurposed for another person, not the original owner. All the Windows cruft from years of usage being gone is reason enough alone for wiping in that case. You can remove the virus first if you want the challenge.
Keeping some deleted data would be useful for syncing, since it could resolve whether it was "deleted" rather than just missing on the device that doesn't have it. I assume that's what the 2-week retention of deleted stuff was for in the first place.
This whole thing just sounds like a bug where the items retained as essentially just syncing metadata never got properly deleted.
I get that - so why are they complaining about the cost of living for employees there? Just pay more and accept that this is the price of your cheap deal on your manufacturing plant. If it's still better for them in the long run, then it was the right choice. But treating it like they built it in the midwest and paying those wages just isn't respectable. And since they're still somewhat a luxury brand, they should care as much about their image as their costs.
Oh it's definitely intentional in some respect. It's probably based in a fear of accidental mass data corruption/deletion, that they can still successfully recover from. Or maybe an abandoned attempt at versioning that they thought they might want someday.
This is what happens when you combine a syncing service with a backup service into one product. Though browser history doesn't offer versioned restores as far as I'm aware, so this is probably just poor planning and design.
Many of those things have Republican-controlled Congress' support. I don't think that's a particularly difficult thing to accomplish, unless representatives start listening to their constituents rather than the party line.
there's a pretty good chance it doesn't connect in the middle and and attempt at going around the block is likely to send you on a 10 mile journey of zigzagging roads in a neighborhoods with no marked way out.
This is part of urban planning in residential areas now because roads that aren't designed for high traffic might suddenly find themselves used as a bypass route otherwise.
I wonder what happens to traffic if everyone on the road eliminates left turns.
They all go in circles. They are minimizing them. And since their drivers go on a very circuitous route, there's a lot more room for optimization as opposed to a personal there-and-back trip.
I guess you need to set up a wireless network for your dial-up, then. I remember ICS on Windows 98 working well on a small household LAN. You can easily do this with a Linux server.
You can't test edge cases along the way, especially if they rely on the finished product. Of course actually testing for edge cases before release will make a developer less "productive."
Yeah - like wage theft from tipped employees. It's endemic. If you live in an area with a lower minimum wage for tipped employees and that employee doesn't make it to minimum wage through tips, the employer has to cover the difference. Instead, they estimate tips based on what they think the employee should have made and even try to get income taxes levied on those non-existent tips rather than pay the gap.
Is framing a house, pouring/finishing concrete or laying brick/tile ergonomic? People do it every day in bad weather.
Also doesn't qualify as repetitive motion. These jobs are ripe for robotic automation - and that means severe body stress if you're not given the right conditions. Unless you think that they should all be paid well enough to retire at 40, disabled, then this is a real problem.
Slashdot Mirror
And despite using Avira's engine as part of its backend, it fails to detect some malware that Avira itself can detect.
What's funny is seeing it in the AV Comparatives report. I don't know if they included it seriously or as a joke, but page 29 is pretty funny.

What, are you wanting ethics in journalism now? We haven't had that for a long while.
Trump must be a ... nut for speaking...

It's got what power plants crave.
which is a market that currently barely exists

So you have to do a full wipe anyway...aren't you agreeing with me? You can't safely throw it away without doing so.

Data stored on the IOS device isn't synced between devices. Is browser history?
The "backup" in question is on the device, not iCloud (which follows a sane retention policy, I think FTA). It's just being controlled by iCloud.
I'm not saying they were giving it a special status - just that they abandoned something they started and never cleaned up after themselves.

But it appears you can set LAN connections to metered with a manual registry setting:

Same origin policy makes sense for scripts. Not images, which still end up with the same treatment.
It is if you view multiple documents on one client's site.
This is relatively rare for me - I tend to do a lot of Google searches and random site visits.
But they have typically fought for net neutrality, rather than against it.

Trump was elected. This is a moot point.
Tesla's CEO salary has always been reasonable. And even as a shareholder he doesn't make a whole lot.
