Turd up or Turd down isn't really of any use to me.
If it's Turds down, I'll probably never bother even putting it in my queue.
Their recommendation system is at best, horribly broken. Anything below 92% appears to be just a wild guess at best, and a feeble attempt to draw traffic to something I have no interest in.
There are many other different web resources to scour Netflix for things worth watching, I use instantwatcher.com http://instantwatcher.com/
I had literally spent years getting FF just the way I liked when they started screwing up everything.
Chrome never did much for me other than being able to run Netflix on my laptop (linux) And the settings menu in Chrome has always looked like it was designed by a 10 year old as an extra credit project in remedial programming.
I've pretty much completely ditched Firefox for Palemoon and don't really care about FF or what the Mozilla foundation is breaking anymore.
If your microwave oven can screw with your 2.4GHZ wifi, I'm pretty sure you can easily defeat this "special" detection method.
Metal detectors don't work all that well for plastic weapons, or ceramic knives either. Unless you have the detector set to belt buckle and coins in the pocket mode.
If actually skippable, I guess I am OK with it, though do not like it... but I can see why they want to do this as they have a lot of original content, and they have a point as to how people would find out about it otherwise.
On the other hand Amazon Prime Video does this at the start of watching anything as far as I can tell and I just skip so fast I don't think I've ever learned anything from it.
I think the Netflix featured show that appears when you enter the app (on the Apple TV anyway) is probably the best way to get exposure for something without seeming to interrupt whatever the user was doing.
If they were skippable, like the intro's to shows, I'd be irked. If they are not skippable, I may as well go back to streaming from "other sources"
It could be worse, like unskippable ads (every 9 minutes) in the middle of a show or movie.
Hauppauge, and fix their lame ass front-end software/vaporware that still blows. And Amazon could toss in a cloud back-end to minimize storage and playback overhead. Extra points if it supports amazon video and netflix.
Doesn't matter if they're watching TV or posting/reading facebook.
Other bad parents may leave their kids in a 120 degree car while they gamble in a casino, or attend a nice crack party.
Bad parents may also forget the kid at a store, or library, or just leave a 5 year old home alone by themselves, so the bad parent can go on a weekend vacation.
I ran a Chrome extension ("Social Book Post Manager") that used the FB Activity Log to uncomment, unpost, unlike everything I've ever done on FB. (I've downloaded all the data first.) I've made my FB account effectively stateless -- all that is left is my contact list without losing any of the benefits of FB.
I'll admit I don't know what exactly that accomplishes but it feels like I have taken leverage away from FB. They can't hold me hostage through my data since it's gone. I don't care if I lose my account, I can recreate my contact list from a new account if I need to. The deleted data is probably not accessible to 3rd parties, and I will look for a way to autogenerate tons of posts that I'll delete in the same way. A script that uploads photos of generic faces and tags me in them, then deletes everything would be next.
So maybe I can use the service without being the product. And if everyone does it and that kills the service -- good riddance.
You're doing it wrong. You should be uploading TB of images and videos of unidentifiable road surfaces, strangers in the street, streams and floors. (with the EXIF data scrubbed.)
Remind me again why our hot water heaters need to be online? Better yet, why don't we have on-demand ones that..you know, just supply hot water, on demand; no connectivity required.
While I can see the danger presented, let me ask this hot water question related question: Should we be just as concerned with remote execution of code that causes a hot water to overheat and either explode, or catch a house on fire?
For the ordinary homeowner no absolute benefit. For large multi-story apartment complexes, it could be valuable to minimize damages with quick notifications on leaks...
the Police could always subpoena cellular carriers for tower tracking information regarding the location of the phone.
Using google map locations seems like lazy police work and tracking data has the potential to be "faked" by someone with sufficient resources.
Google location tracking being enabled is the first mistake. It's like bluetooth, why turn it on if you're not actively using it? Check your google settings, repeatedly.
the Streisand effect will probably kick in, and it will become more popular in China.
Reddit as a whole has a lot of resources, and smart (often helpful) people, covering pretty much every subject you can think of (that hasn't been banned)
Reddit management and moderators of a lot of the main subreddits seem to have been engaging in censorship of ideologies and information they don't approve of. Much like China.
I bought a Kindle e-reader. Not because I was interested in Amazon's collection, but because it seemed to be the best hardware. Our library, like many, use Overdrive for e-books, with uses Adobe Digital Editions DRM locked ebooks. Unfortunatly they are epub, which is compatible with every other ereader except Kindle, and Amazon has no interest in interoperability. Plus Digital Editions is a pretty terrible program.
So to read library books on my Kindle, I have to download and load the book into Digital Editions, then use DeDRM to load them into Calibre, to convert to mobi to load on the Kindle.
Install aldiko ebook reader on the kindle. It directly supports overdrive downloads/loans.
there's (an older) free version in the amazon app store:
Seriously, there are some non-airport sites in my city that have gigantic murders of crows. It's even worse than a scene out of Hitchcock's "The Birds"
The city spends a ton of money driving them out with fireworks, blasted sound and lights, but they're back every year.

I've voted in, you fill out your votes on paper which is then scanned.
It seems to be an OK process, as long as nobody has messed with the scanning/collation software.
Touchscreens with no accountability or paper trails seem to be asking for "trouble."

women's purses. They have a large enough capacity to contain most things in the known universe.
Not many men are secure enough to carry a man purse, so they're stuck with their pockets. /s

putting the chip on their company ID badges?
I really don't like having things put in my body that will need to be removed when I rage quit the job. /s
It's just a matter of "convenience" or laziness when you can't even keep track of a lanyard with a badge on it.

You put all the cool and edgy stickers on your laptop.
Then leave that laptop somewhere safe on a VPN tunnel and bring a "clean" empty laptop with you. Extra points if it's running windows 7.
With this type of reasoning, there will soon be NFL teams with women in wheelchairs as linemen.
Typically bard members are all of similar socioeconomic backgrounds.
They're all either very wealthy or politically powerful.
Why not force companies to have a certain number of members from different financial, ethnic or religious backgrounds?
Just making them choose more women for their board is offensive to pretty much everyone.
The best place to start enacting policies like this would of course be California government hires and candidates for election.

One problem with it: What are KODI devices?
I'd answer by saying there are more different devices that can run kodi than can access bookface.

For having an i7 that has 8 cores but not 16 threads? Is the i9 the new i7?
How many cores do you need for facebook, yahoo mail and netflix? /s
For that sort of thing I'd be using zero cores on my PC. Facebook and mail are on the phone, and using a TV app for Netflix.
When I'm gaming in the foreground, with Chrome running and also have my download tools running in the background, more cores are welcome.
I don't stream my games but that would also take up CPU time if I were a streamer.
I do also code and run VMs (at least one of those VMs will be Windows + Visual Studio) so having more cores to dedicate to the VMs would help.
Someone with your severely limited abilities should rather go get an iPad. As a bonus you'll be less likely to screw it up.
Nah, I don't allow any Apple or Microsoft products in my house, unless a temporary guest is using them.

You could always check with your local library.
Most offer e-book loans for free.

I'd always add a comment regarding where it came from.

How many tons of cargo does the Zephyr carry?
According to the article summary:
The latest version of the Zephyr weighs just 75 kg (165 lb), but is able to carry up to five times its own weight.
So around 825 lbs.
