All android phones are locked you have to root them to unlock them, and it's pretty much a similar amount of work. And now you have the Bullshit of S-ON and S-OFF on most android phones that requires you to use exploits to set Security off.
Even buying a 100% unlocked version of the phone.... S-ON is set and you STILL have to exploit it to unlock it.
So please tell me what phone can I buy that I already have root, and there is no security at all on the phone to stop me from installing whatever I want or whatever OS I want. Because they just do not exist outside of developer edition short run.
If CM screws your battery life, then adjust the performance settings to get it back. I easily got back my 2 day battery life on the M8 by simply going into the settings and restoring them to being over the top conservative.
Not with a fan that size. and I highly doubt that a HEPA filter and a fan works. you need significant air pressure behind the fan to get any real filtering volume.
Honestly people buying cheap pleated paper furnace filters and doubling them up over their windows will be more effective. when it can filter 50CFM then I'll be impressed. and that will be for a very small one that can barely keep up with air leakage of a tiny apartment.
Comparable particle counts HOW? right up against the filter? What about over time? Zero details except you MUST go to his workshop for $33 to find out... Fishy...
I have a rock that keeps tigers away, My most recent tiger count shows zero so it's as good as a $10,000 tiger cage.
Need real data, full information on how the test was done and for how long. Anything else is made up BS or misinformation.
All you need to do is have the USB drive mounted by a locked down device. Example, RasPi set to read only on the OS and disable everything all it does is mounts the USB drive and then offers up the contents via the network.
I dont care what you have in the USB stick it will not auto run and infect. then your can look at the contents with another pc via the network and see the real contents or even run automated tests on it before it is available to the users machine.
It is not hard to make something that will stop this crap.
The problem is that people on the internet in their garages are doing more for the advancement of "machinery" than the ACM has ever done in it's lifetime.
The ivory towers are crumbling, the staunchy University model is becoming irrelevant.
If you think they will not modify that agreement when the time comes to renew it, you are silly. in my town it was a requirement to carry public channels and OTA local channels unencrypted. They simply had their lawyer remove that from the last one they signed.
when your town is ran by a bunch of morons (only morons want to be politicians in power) you get this kind of stuff happening. And 99.976% of all american cities and towns have complete drooling morons in charge.
The mayor here is so stupid he demanded they pass a law making it a felony to say anything bad about him. And then threw a fit when everyone told him that will never happen.
For incredibly inept companies that really know nothing at all about security to run without firewalling.
Make sure you have a clause written in that without a firewall your client is fully responsible for any and all damages their unsecured server will cause.
Watch out, they may have accidentally reactivated your account and you are being charged for something. your only warning will be a credit collections company contacting you.
It was a very common thing back in 2006 that Comcast did to customers that successfully cancelled their service.
I have my own script.... Yes, rebooting now... yes still the red blinking light. I am waving a dead chicken over it now... yes it's facing north. No the red light did not change.
Yes I moved all holy relics away from the modem... No it's still a red blinking light. Yes I'll wait....
They fired most of the technicians and now 90% are subcontractors to get around most of the labor laws. Around here the guys that do Comcast have a magnetic sign on their rust bucket and will swap out for Dish when they go to that next job. They barely train these guys and they pay them a flat rate per job so they want to be in and out as fast as possible many times half assing it because they average out to being paid less than $7.00 an hour on most jobs.
Everyone has moved away from it to either Pathfinder or 13Th age. DnD is on it's way to becoming another savage worlds for lovers of crunchy dice rolling only.

Dont joke, they have a Homeland Youth program in the school systems.
Because they dont exist.

Are you being an uneducated tool and trying to say that Android is perfect.... because anyone that has any clue knows better.
There is a reason I am running Cyanogenmod 11 DAILIES on my HTC ONE M8 and not the "perfect" android that HTC bastardized.
Android is broken as hell, not by Google's design, but by their fault for letting carriers and handset makers BREAK android.
China.

The commonwealth is a lot smaller than expected!
Yes, I went there.... Deal with my vast knowledge of really bad SciFi!
"the only way to remove them is to start a lengthy legal process."
You mean the only LEGAL way.. I have friends that will remove them within hours for only a case of beer and gas money.
Same as the delusion that strict anti- gun laws make a difference... See Chicago for an example of this as a failure.
for now.

And fight this for "fair use" in court and completely and utterly fuck over the RIAA and record labels in their war against the people.
GM is big enough to get this fixed. but I guarantee it will all disappear as soon as they push back.

Comcast is closing those customer centers in most towns to avoid this.

"I don't think any laptop has ever been produced that consumes more than 150W."
I had one, the Samsung Series 7 gaming laptop monster with dual video cards.
200 Watts.
"Oh, and of course, upgrading willy-nilly is a no-no. Slap RedHat or CentOS 7 on existing 6.5 installs, and shit breaks. Shit will break big time."
Oh, and of course, upgrading willy-nilly is a no-no. Slap Windows 8.1 on existing Windows 7 installs, and shit breaks. Shit will break big time.
So please tell me how this is any different?
