You are hilarious... Companies pay $5000 or more for laptops that are secure and ar ethe same horsepower as a $500 walmart cheapie. I suggest you actually learn what companies will pay. Because they will pay a lot and do it all the time. Hell they happily and readily pay $3000 to $5000 each just for Panasonic toughbooks that are only rugged.
You slit your own throat when you gave up the keys to encryption and servers to governments.
Want to be relevant again? make secure smartphones that you CANT give government access to or touch the encrypted signals. Build in voice and data encryption that the users can specify the keys, give the phones self wipe and data destruction abilities.
Make them also alert the user to possible intrusion attempts like Cell tower fakes and other attacks.
Problem is your management is too chicken shit to do it. Just like how you bent over and spread your cheeks to gave the worlds governments unfettered access to your servers so they can intercept all communication between users.
Handgun? are you a cruel bastard? All hand gun rounds are slow and barely lethal. yes even the big silly rounds.
20mm hypersonic round out of a 42" long rifle to maximize velocity, the head will completely explode into hamburger bits, Zero pain, The brain will not even finish processing the sound from the shot being fired before they are so scrambled that you can't have pain.
Or simply about 30 kilos of high explosives as a hat will also be the most humane. Plus you will have a 100% chance of success and 0% chance of suffering.
Nobody plugs into a projector anymore. It's all wireless over the network. Apple does airplay to Apple TV units. they also work fantastic with the BARCO units that are selling faster than anything else to corporate america.
Any company that is not being ran by incompetent twits are upgrading their AV equipment to use either Crestron, Extron, Barco or other Wireless video system The days of VGA are long gone and HDMI in the table are at an end and becoming extinct rapidly.
Granted I work for a company that installs this stuff, I programmed a board room's av and automation system last week that has more money in gear than 90% of the homes in the state are worth. Next week I am doing a cheapie $100,000 install.
Dell, HP,Lenovo, ASUS all are the worst for "special secret" connectors for power. In fact they are WORSE than apple as they change the damn connector from model to model. At least magsave has stayed somewhat the same for large chunks of time.
I really hope the EU adopts USB-C and forces the laptop makers all to use it for the power connection. It's utterly stupid that we have been forced to have random power plugs on laptops.
Make the fights to the death. Then americans will watch it more than all the other shows combined. Make them death row criminals, and Pay per view, become a trillionaire overnight.
If they can figure optically clear and at least some durability it could revolutionize cars and planes by makeing self cleaning self wiping windscreens.
When are they going to change their name to the "We hate americans" party?
I am so done with those paid for corrupt scumbags, and it blows my mind how any person that can call themselves a republican can support these idiots and how scummy evil they really are.
I'm waiting for them to start wearing sponsor patches like Nascar race teams.
Problem is this NUC with a quad i7, 16gb ram and 256gb SSD costs a lot more than the mac mini in the same configuration. I though Intel was supposed to be better performance at lower prices than apple.
Not the last time I took the bridge from Detroit to Canada. The canada guy was a raging asshole, I almost thought he was the American guy and I went the wrong way for a moment.
"Detecting a malfunction in a sensor is hard, really hard. "
it depends. you have a known range the sensor will read and you have a known rate of change. For example the sensor in my BMW that measures steering angle will go from 10 to 65525 it can read from 0 to 65535 but the physical limits of the mounting will not allow it. which is fine. the computer system also knows that it is 100% impossible to have more than a rate change of + or - 3500 per second. so if any rate changes are high than that, like a glitch that causes it to jump? fail the sensor fall back to limp mode and illuminate the "bring your wallet to the dealer" light.
What if the sensor falls off and does not change? you can make assumptions based on time If I don't see a sensor change within a time frame, sensor is bad.
Systems with only one sensor does not exist in anything other than entertainment devices like your wall thermometer. A car has enough data points to easily identify sensor failures without redundant sensors on each measuring point.
If there is any way the driver can disable the 100% automated stuff. Then they need to prove they are not a drooling moron and get a license. If the manual overrides are all locked out, so if it goes off a cliff, the rider's only choice is to die horribly... Then ok, no license required.
Almost everyone that has seen the systems in place have know this for over 2 decades.
It's a mess, an unholy mess that they really need to dump a couple billion into to do a full upgrade and redesign. The whole ATC system is a giant ball of bandaids.

You send them to Carousel to be re-born.
I have, but what I was talking about is the Barco click share that is currently the most popular system out there.
A nice Nuke power plant will be a far better solution.
you get heat, electricity, and a good source of radiation to open up the portal to hell.
You buy a rolex for one reason. To show others you have money.
You buy a solid gold Apple watch for one reason..... LOOK AT ME I HAVE MONEY MONEY MONEY!
Solid gold anything has one use..... LOOK AT HOW RICH I AM!

Their Flagship the M8 is still on 4.4.3 not even 4.4.4
Never buying HTC ever again.
All at $18.00 an hour or less
He never said the openings were all at honest wages.
They just prove that human being in general when they can hide who they are, turn into horrible monsters.

Why are you using any version above 2.2.1?
That was the last real version.
they are not durable coatings though, only good for skyscrapers and only if your definition of "clean" is pretty loose.
If they can figure optically clear and at least some durability it could revolutionize cars and planes by makeing self cleaning self wiping windscreens.

When they dont have the money they need, they cant do squat. The entire ATC system has been underfunded even before the Reagan years.
