And that is the problem, they build them to last too damn long. the ipad 1 is a tank, and the batteries in all that I touch still are at 80% capacity. the 12" ipad pro is the first ipad that entices me to replace my air version 1. and I only got that because the wife took my older ipad and wont give it back.
Yet I have been through 30 android tablets.... most have screens made from potatochips that break easily (I have 3 nexus 7's with broken screens in my hardware hacking bin) or the micro USB plug get's buggered up. We really need an open source lightning connector replacement as that part is pretty cool.
a LOT of cities have laws against tiny hotel rooms and apartments. Are they also factoring in the costs of legal fees fighting these stupid laws put on the books?
Not one that is SANE. only those that are utterly insane and want to make it insecure would want to connect remotely. I see you dont understand a thing about security and know nothing at all about SCADA.
Considering I worked in the field for 10 years and have extensive experience with it? A lot of thought went into it... What is your background with water filtration and SCADA systems?
I thought so.
Small company with a couple of machines? as a water treatment plant? if the place cant afford another $499 pc to set on someone's desk to keep the systems safe they need to shut down due to even more gross negligence.
Executives at Comcast are some of the most clueless people out there. I worked for them for years and they always have really stupid ideas or are clueless as hell.
Comcastic branding.... yeah they were surprised that backfired. They hired a firm for $2.2million to survey all the employees and give a report. The company after study and interviewing most employees reported that the management was the problem with employee productivity, so they threw out the report and ignored it.
Every other Nintendo console is worth buying. the Wii U fell on it's face because they aimed for the poor people crowd, but missed that the poor now have 60 inch 1080p tv sets.
The NEW Wii Wii U needs to support 4K out of the box, and ditch the stupidity of the $200 controller with a very low res screen in it.
Honestly the leaders of the world are drooling fucking morons.
we are all lucky that terrorists and thieves are as stupid as our leaders and police are. WE have the FBI wasting resources to get Apple to decrypt a phone with NOTHING ON IT for data THEY ALREADY HAVE. No wonder anyone with any brain cells does not trust police in any way. They are utterly incompetent.
I dont use stupid "cloud" crap for my IOT devices they talk to the server in my home, and the ones in the vacation home talk over an encrypted VPN to my home.
it's the consumer crap designed to spy on you that are the problem, not IOT.

"The very core of its design is contrary to things like video editing,"
Actually imovie on the ipad is not bad. the problem is you have almost no storage and it will not edit video that is on an external drive.
It depends, if you use a very low processing power computer like a PS4.... pretty bad.
iPad Pro destroyed Surface in Q415 the highest sales quarter of the year, the holiday sales period.
Apple sold 2 million iPad Pro computers, compared to 1.6 million Surface tablets.
And that is the problem, they build them to last too damn long. the ipad 1 is a tank, and the batteries in all that I touch still are at 80% capacity. the 12" ipad pro is the first ipad that entices me to replace my air version 1. and I only got that because the wife took my older ipad and wont give it back.

Honestly slashdot really has went into toilet. This "story" is so much made up fanboy hatred it should be on Gawker.
I am surprised it doesn't have an advert for how awesome the Surface Pro 4 is.
a LOT of cities have laws against tiny hotel rooms and apartments. Are they also factoring in the costs of legal fees fighting these stupid laws put on the books?
Not a problem. I haven't loaded itunes for YEARS for my ipads or iphones.
I am guessing you haven't touched an apple product for over 5 years now.

Excludes Equipment leasing | Installation charges (if applicable) | Taxes and fees
Comcast adds in all kinds of bullshit fees to make that nice looking price end up being far higher in reality.
Our CEO needs new toilet paper fee $1.00
Executive lunch reimbursement fee $4.00
No competition in your area fee $6.95
There is ZERO..... Z E R O reason for the payment system to have any connection to the SCADA system.
Whoever is the manager of that plant and the engineer of that SCADA system and it's network need to be put in jail for their incompetence.

Then that means we have even less reasons to trust any police because at their core they are WORSE than criminals.
Thanks, now I need a drink.
AS if you cant bribe a clerk to sell you 4 phones for 1500euro.
You make it sound like the police are the ones that sell the phones and cards.
Honestly the leaders of the world are drooling fucking morons.

I'll sell the used Discs for 50% of what I paid easily on craigslist. and I get cash and the game sold within minutes.
Why? you shave them off as they will be ground up, then smelted to get the metals back. Used chips are worse than china black market copies.
It takes throngs of slave children in china to make them?
Honestly why cant they be assembled by robots?
You seem to not understand encryption.
Freely publish a public key. Step 2; there is no step 2 as anyone can now send me encrypted mail that I can decrypt using my private key.
Use one of the thousands of encryption system and encrypt your email. Cripes this has been possible for well over 2 decades now.
Please tell us your stores name and location so we can spread the word to not shop at your place.
I use google pay and your dimwitted decision blocks me, and I prefer to not shop at a place owned by a moron.
The merchant screws up so that is an apple problem..
Dammit Samsung, my car is out of gas again!
"Are there secure IoTs?"
yep all of mine are. because I made them.
I dont use stupid "cloud" crap for my IOT devices they talk to the server in my home, and the ones in the vacation home talk over an encrypted VPN to my home.

"Next week... Class action lawsuit against Amazon by a bunch of uneducated idiots."
FTFY....
They are not bricked, and if the person has a 3rd graders level of education you can still easily update it via USB.
