I don't think Apple wants to use proprietary connectors. In the past, they have fully embraced standard connectors, when those connectors were good enough. They ditched ADB when USB came out, and they ditched FireWire when USB got fast enough to transfer video.
What they won't do is use a standard connector if they feel that all standard options are compromises. When they felt the need to move away from the 30 pin iPod connector, they felt that the USB options were insufficient (not fast enough, not enough power for charging tablets, and most importantly, not reversible), so they developed Lightning to solve those shortcomings. I think if USB-C had existed at the time, Lightning might never have been developed.
Except that lightning has transfer issues as well. It cannot send 1080p video at 30FPS, let alone the 4K video that it's camera can shoot.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with multiple ports on a device. I love having separate micro USB, micro HDMI and audio jacks so that I don't have to buy overpriced adapter cables. Hell, put all three ports on the bottom so that it can be docked the same way.
Are they really the tablet's fault? Is it a networking issue, buggy client/web software?
If the teams only have access to the tablets for 5-6 hours during game day do they really know how it's supposed to be used? Have they been tested thoroughly?
Either way he obviously tried to alter records that we under subpoena. This is so fucking corrupt it is unbelievable.
Will I get the same leniency and benefit of doubt if the FBI or Justice Department ever investigates me for the same or less serious crimes? (not that I'm planning any)
Considering your UID, that's unlikely. Most if not all of the machines from the 80s and 90s were dumb. They'd walk across the floor if the load's unbalanced.
My parent's Kenmore from the mid-to-late 70s had this feature. It would shut down if the load was unbalanced.
What you absolutely don't have a right to do is to carry whatever you want onto someone else's property. Take for example weapons bans which prohibit students from bringing knives to school, to Disney World, etc. You can tell people that they are not welcome if they bring X onto your property all you want.
This isn't the same. I'm still allowed to take my mobile device into the event. They just didn't want me to use a certain feature of that device. That is different than not allowing an item altogether.
I'm hearing about cases where companies got hit with cryptolocker type viruses. And it wasn't something just just happened in a 30 minute period. It was a sleeper virus that waited 72 hours before activating, which invalidates all of your recent backups. All it would take is a sleeper to take 1 month, 6 months, etc to activate and then bam - you're done. No good backups. No data = no company. It would be a nightmare.
Why does this censorship article use the censorship icon, while the previous Facebook censorship article uses the facebook icon? Why not use the censorship icon for both?
Get rid of the ridiculous cable boxes. The TV's we have now are a bajillion times more powerful than the ridiculous set top boxes. Why in the world would we need a DVR with the ability to stream shows. If the networks were smart they would just flag shows that people want to watch and when they finally want to view them start the stream.
That would require some engineering and know how to do. This would cost money, which of course, the cable companies don't want to spend.
So then your video service now requires Internet access to view "recorded" shows? No thanks. I still want my DVR to keep recorded shows locally stored at my house.
There's nothing high-end about Bluetooth connectivity. And in most cases you're re-compressing a lossy compressed source. This pretty much confirms that I will not buy any of these devices. I have all of my albums ripped to lossless file formats and that's the way I like it.
Isn't it common knowledge that Netflix will provider servers/appliances to ISP's who request them in order to cut down on video traffic during peak hours? Why is the fact that Verizon has a few such a big deal?
...scientists are too fucking stupid to use Excel properly. Format your cells correctly. It's not Excel's fault. It's no different than any other occupation that needs to use the tool correctly.
@acoustix: "I was thinking the same thing, but what if a person used a span port to mirror the traffic and send the mirrored traffic to a device capable of SSL decrypt? Couldn't that info be logged using that method?"
Only if they found a universal method of cracking SSL, which is very unlikely.
My Palo Alto firewall already does it. So what is stopping others from doing it using a mirrored port?
I refuse to believe that over 90% of people aren't swayed or challenged by these posts on Facebook. I post a lot of political stuff on FB (because it matters to me more than posting pictures of my dog) and I constantly check the validity of items posted - regardless of my political bias.
These posts definitely change how you think, even if you don't admit it. It makes you ask yourself if you really want to vote for an asshole like Trump, a blatant liar like Hillary, or terrible libertarian like Johnson.

the only thing public pressure does is cause the company to spend more money in redundant hardware which mostly sits unused and raises prices
My redundant hardware is constantly in use and I have nowhere near the budget of these big boys. Redundant doesn't always mean active/passive. Routers are especially easy to run active/active, hell that's way the Internet routes traffic. BGP/EIGRP will take care of the routing.
But I suspect that this wasn't a simple router failure. A router failure wouldn't require other systems to be rebooted.
We hear the same bullshit every 2 years. Moore's law has nothing to do with the SIZE of the transitors. It has to do with the number of transistors on the chip and, to a lesser extent, the density of the transistors. Arranging the transistors vertically and horizontally will allow the law to continue.

How can Netflix defend higher prices with less quality choices?
The republicans have the same structure, but did not give their superdelegates enough power to override the crazy train.
Incorrect. The repuplicans do not have superdelegates in the nominating process.

Why not? it's my opinion
It was never an alternative to the iPhone. BlackBerry almost invented the smartphone market.

It's clickbait. Just like every f_cking article posted on Facebook and Twitter. Are you surprised?
