That's exactly how it is right now; You need never, ever look at Android settings if you don't want to. Stock launcher, SMS app, ring tones, screen behaviour, look and feel of the UI... They're all perfectly functional. In fact, the only usability difference I see between IOS and stock Android UI is that Apple put the icons on the home screen, whereas Android makes use of a launcher icon to bring up the list. Like it to be like an IOS UI? Put shortcuts to every app on the home screens; You can scroll through just like in IOS.
You want "simple"? Find one that is dumb enough for you
The great thing about Android is that you could make a UI that is as simple as you want. Remove the app drawer and dock, drop five or six direct-dial contact shortcuts onto the homescreen. There; You have a very pretty, very expensive, very overpowered dumbphone. Want to dial more numbers? Replace your homescreen contacts with one giant shortcut to the dialer app. You need never look at the Google Play Store, GMail, or Wireless Settings apps again.
Having said that, if you were in this situation you wouldn't be getting an Andoid phone in the first place. The whole article seems kind of moot.
I don't dismiss either of them as possibilities. I just believe that the more direct threat to me personally comes from conspiracy by my own government to deprive me of personal freedoms in the name of stopping terrorism, not from the threat of terrorism itself.
"Technically complying" won't fly, just like it didn't with the Samsung apology. Judges hate nothing more than when someone "flips them the bird" in their own courtroom. Should it ever get that far I'd expect there to be something like a mandatory adapter included with all EU iPhones, essentially rendering that Lightning protections useless.
In your upper arm or thigh / ass cheek its an intramuscular injection, into your hip (Insulin, for example) it's into subcutaneous fat. Very rarely is anything injected directly into a vein, unless it's for recreational purposes.
For £100 you can get two 60GB SATA III SSDs, plenty large enough to hold your C:\ partition or / mount point and fast enough to make your system fly. Hell, one 60GB SSD just for the OSs is plenty. Just be sure to either switch off virtual memory / swap or push it onto a mechanical drive to avoid burning out the SSD prematurely.
That only applies if you think of the firmware as being worth the sale of only one router. The models listed are all consumer grade, but I'm willing to bet that because they're cheap they're also popular. Your $100 router all of a sudden is $10m in sales if 100k are sold, across those six (so far identified ) ranges. Not so hard to imagine? Now think of those who work from home over networks served by that hardware, or the SMB with only a couple of clients on the network and no need for professional switching equipment. Now it's business loss to consider, even if only downtime to fix the breach is the only loss experienced.
I can easily see something like this having the potential to cause losses not dissimilar to your "shuttle crash" scenario. It's "keys to the kingdom" external access to what should be a private network.
Finally, there's no chance in hell of even 1% of these devices receiving a firmware update. Nobody (outside of us) upgrades the firmware on their home router; They run it from factory until death, then buy another one. These devices will be vulnerable for the foreseeable future.
"High rollers" will have a locked down laptop with a VPN connection to the corporate network. Seeing as the company is bankrolling the hotel stay, that information is completely useless.
If they don't, then I'm happy to offer some "consultation" to their IT staff for a modest fee.
Silly question, but... what happens when you want to apply and you don't have a computer ? Surely, by definition, a sizable portion of the population that requires Obamacare doesn't necessarily have the means to have a computer or an internet connection.
And no, "anybody has a computer these days" is not an answer. I know plenty of people who don't have enough to feed themselves, let alone buy a computer - let alone one that's recent enough to cope with plugins that invariably tell you "your operating system / browser is not supported anymore, please upgrade." every 6 months.
Do you have libraries in america?
You would advise people to input personal details into public access workstations?
Bad IT professional. No. Off to bed with no supper.
Using DD-WRT myself on the same hardware, for exactly the same thing. Uploaded photos to the NAS device from my phone during a recent holiday, worked without a hitch.
I'd like to know what you mean by "nowhere near as flexible" though, as I can't think of anything I want to do on my home network router that I can't do through the GUI (QoS, granular port forwarding, comprehensive monitoring and logging, VPN client).
I run a TP-Link WR1043ND with DD-WRT 24b21061. I went to the DD-WRT homepage, I entered my devices model number, and returned was a well presented list of three firmwares: factory-to-DDRWT, webrevert (back to stock, for warranty return), and the latest update ROM for devices already on DD-WRT. I also found easy to follow instructions on flashing the firmware.
You may be a little butthurt, or I may have been lucky.
They should keep all electronic devices (and IMHO books) stowed away during take off and landing, not because of interference with flight instruments, but because take off and landing are the most dangerous parts of the flight. If there is trouble during these periods, you will want your hands free to "hold onto your ankles and kiss your ass goodbye." Further, if you let go of your Kindle, iPhone, laptop etc during an emergency procedure it's likely to go flying around the cabin and cause someone a serious injury.
Stow that shit away. It's only 20 minutes of your time.
Pfff. Car manufacturers tape up the air intakes and door seams on their cars to do fuel economy runs, just to eek out the every last 0.1mpg. Running your car like that for any reasonable period of time would wreck the engine pretty quick.
Benchmarks are about as useful as manufacturer spec sheets. Take both with a a few metric tonnes of salt.
Because I'd prefer my employer not to know my/. UID?
So don't post from work. If you must, don't post anything which is a contravention of your workplace policies. Don't post specifics about your workplace. Posting on your lunch break? It's still a company asset you're using, taking up company bandwidth and electricity, sat in a company chair in front of a company desk in a company building.
This is basic stuff, and it's nothing to do with human rights. Human rights prevent you from unreasonable search from the government, not private enterprise, and especially not from someone paying you for your time and effort. If you don't like your employer knowing what you do on his computer, there's the door.
I can imagine a fuel tank rupturing if left exposed to direct heat for a prolonged period due to a build up of fumes, but I'd expect car fuel tanks to have a pressure release system to prevent that.
Petrol doesn't explode unless aerosolised, and then only in an oxygen-rich atmosphere (intake manifold / carburetor, for example). Under normal circumstances you'll get burning of vapour as the fuel slowly vapourises.
Australia has something called "double dissolution" where, to fit the US system, both the Senate and Congress would be dismissed in entirety and an election for all seats would take place.

Yeah... Betteridge's Law of Headlines applies here.

Grain of salt warning.
You may as well be quoting Fox. The Daily Mail is not known for journalistic integrity or credibility.

Now is absolutely the time to upgrade.
In a class action, the only winners are the lawyers.
Individually suing in small claims court is almost always the better option, if you have the time.

One important question, one caveat.
1) Will the laptop sit fine on its keyboard regardless of monitor angle, or will it tip over if the monitor is pushed back past, say, 45 degrees?
You can't fold it flat with the monitor on being visible. This will never be a tablet device.

Probably. It's also a US organisation, so free soda refills.

This is why I want a pebble. It's a watch with notifications for events on your smartphone.
Never "Did my phone just vibrate?" check again.

It gets faster, too. The more nodes there are, the more paths to spread the load.
I still find IRC has lag over i2p, though. It's barely useable for anything.

You should look into that.
Yes, but including a USB thumb drive imaging tool would be trivial.
