No - that used to be true. My Saved list (not available) is growing monthly. They've been selling off catalog and a lot of movies that were on my list are now (likely permanently) unavailable.
It's not just back catalog. Indie movies from the past few years were never added to the library.
I've never seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. That's a major movie - in the AFI 100 list and the National Film Registry. I added the Blu-Ray to my list years ago - it came out in 2008. It is no longer available. Not only that, Netflix didn't make me aware that they still have the DVD. It just sat on my "Saved" list.
The device MAC address gets registered with the ISP/TV provider as "allowed"
The device's MAC address is invisible after the first hop. Unless you are saying that the device reports it over its own private channel. But then you would just use a device where you can easily spoof a MAC address.
Now if the device had to check in from the home Internet connection every 30 days to get an authorization token, that would be almost reasonable.
It's really easy. Just buy a new phone! Yes, I know even Apple offers battery replacement for less than the cost of a new phone - but Apple apparently doesn't want you to know that's why your phone is slow. They want you to think it's slow because it's just not capable of it.
And that's not even just the hardware if you make sure it speaks an industry-standard language like PCL. No worries of the OS dropping support when it's a 5 years old.
If you only print once or twice a month, the printhead will dry out. And buying anything with printheads built into the cartridge will still cost almost as much to resolve when dried out as a new printer. Go for a black and white laser. Printing services for anything else.
And solely Ryzen. They used to be competitive in the bottom and mid-range. I don't think Apple is all that impressed with Ryzen even if it did push Intel prices down a little.
Here's how much you didn't read: 1) The population is growing, not declining. The growth rate is declining. That doesn't mean it won't go negative at some point. 2) The effect of the change in population growth takes a minimum of 18 years to bear out. 3) The really big drop started in the 90's. That generation are just now getting settled into their careers while boomers are retiring. 4) We're in unprecedented territory. The last time population growth slowed this much we were in the great depression. And war was the only thing that turned that around.
It's probably the way the fingerprint reader integrated with Windows logon. The upgrade from 7 to 10 outright broke several laptops in a way that required a format/reinstall due to completely corrupting the login system to the point where neither using a password nor a password reset solved anything.
From the Canonical bug report: At least on Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga, the BIOS seems to monitor the SPI-NOR write protection bit and if it is flipped to read/write it assumes the BIOS configuration was changed on next reboot. It then, for unknown reasons, resets the BIOS settings back to default.
It's been EEPROM for decades. And if you expose an interface for updates, that interface is an exposed risk. Especially in the driver for the SPI bus that actually does the writing.
They already put a T2 chip in the iMac Pro. They don't want Intel dictating their profit margin. Back when they switched, AMD was competitive and keeping Intel pricing low.
US population went from 229 million in 1981 to 244 million in 1988.That is a ~7% growth. Add that to inflation, and you're at 41%. Yet the GDP grew by 62%. How can that happen,
Not a lot of 7 year olds holding down jobs. Birth rates declined most heavily during the Clinton era, and all of those babies have come of age.
pie = population. Population growth has actually slowed. This is the same reason why Social Security is going to end up insolvent. You can't rest the economy on the pyramid scheme of forever-growth.
They were pretty good. Without Steve Jobs acting as head tyrant, I don't expect a lot of innovation. Unlike Microsoft, they can just lock up their entire platform because they own the hardware. And they have the spare cash to ride out the storm, but they expect they'll keep their higher end clients.
Launchpad came out on OSX many years ago (near identical to iOS home screen). It seems like they put everything on hold to let Microsoft do their market research for them and learn from their mistakes. One of the lessons was to not make touch screen desktops. I don't think Windows is all that bad with it's tablet mode and I am guessing that Apple agrees.
And Launchpad that came long before - looks just like the iOS home screen. The move to the same filesystem as iOS (APFS). The addition of a secure enclave chip to the iMac Pro. Internet recovery. All points to an eventual merged platform.
The company that placed the ad broke the law. The only reason to blame Facebook is the size of their pockets.
parallel port, which is getting really damn inconvenient to deal with,
Shouldn't be too hard to turn that into a wireless printer with either an OTS print server or a small board computer mounted on the back.
tl;dr Offer episodes for rental and not just purchase.

I print just enough with my inkjet to be OK.

A half-hour? Just drain the caps with a few presses of the power button.

In this case, at least one person involved was unable to resolve it by replacing the CMOS battery:

Population growth doesn't have a carry-on impact until those people enter the workforce - did you intentionally misread or just dense?

Not if the contract still allowed the same flat dollar rate. The tenant would be able to choose the best-performing currency to pay in.

Why do you think fat binaries were created in the first place? For an architecture change.

And this will probably precede yet another CPU architecture shift to their own chips.
