Ya we know there probably is this type of life on many of our planets.
There probably isn't, you mean. In fact no place on Earth is Mars-like, atmosphere and gravity are totally different. Besides, the fact there is life in a desert today does not mean that life can arise in a desert: you can find humans in Greenland nowadays, but Greenland is not a place where the human race could have arisen.
If you've got an ice maker there's a noticeable power draw, I shit you not, when it turns on the heater so that it can remove the cubes from the maker.
My ice maker is some cube trays I bought. Never hooked up the ice maker... It was an energy efficient fridge 20 years ago,,,
"We found no evidence of customer information being compromised."
You really have to wonder how hard they actually looked for evidence. and how good their security and logging is if they did not actually find anything...
I'd trade every Disney movie for more Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
The best thing Netflix did was oicking up Longmire.
I wish they'd do it for other shows that were abruptly cancelled that ended on cliffhangers and needed a lot more episodes to finish their story arcs...
Except some of the children will be more than clever enough to re-flash the phones with their own preferred ROMs.
If they're not old enough or responsible enough to understand their parents expectations of correct behavior when using a phone, then maybe they should have a dumb flip phone with no web browser or apps.
Teaching children expectations and consequences is a basic parental responsibility...
The first thing to consider is a overarching group that supports technical workers rights and can negotiate pay.
No more unpaid interns, no more 100 hour work weeks with vague promises of future profits, companies trying to pay almost slave wages to imported labor.
On the technical side, I'd go with limitless energy. If there was enough (plus more) electrical availability for everyone, most of the worlds problems could be solved pretty quickly.
Google itself will rocket through development like an adderall fueled college developer mainlining 4 loko's (blue raspberry old school of course) roll it out with maybe 60% of it done, get a few publisher's on board with sweet deals and throw tons of money at them, and users login for their Beta (it's always BETA) service.
Then the adrenaline haze wears off, Google actually has to support clients, wrangle in contracts from publisher's to put more games on the system, figure out how to get around bandwidth caps that your lovely ISP's enforce on you, roll out development updates while slashing the team and budget until 18 months later Google walks away for the next OOOHHH SHINEY! thing and we are left with a stillborn service that makes the Phantom console look like Steve Jobs christened it from Heaven.
Points of Reference: Gmail Hangouts G+ Whatever their Photo Service is Google Glasses ChromeOS etc etc etc
This^^^^^^^^^ Totally this.
I'm pretty much done buying any hardware google produces.
If there was an option to lease/rent for a year or two until support is dropped, and I can just send it back or throw it away, and stop paying, I'd almost be OK with that. Almost.

there are some jobs even AI's don't want to do.

But the moon gets a new cell tower?
You do probably have free (no extra charge) calling at home over WIFI though. check your plan/phone.
They used to give away pretty nice routers for free to people with issues at their homes. Don't know if they still do.
than the workers doing their job in terms of leadership, so the bosses can take credit for others work.
Except for the people who BCC all their communications with their managers to their bosses boss.

Multiple factors:
Flat screen TVs replacing most of television CRTs.
LED Bulbs replacing Incandescent.
Laptops and tablets replacing a lot of desktops, remaining desktops not using CRTs any more.
Some of that is offset by huge gaming systems with enormous power supplies, and bitcoin mining rigs. They are probably a minority nowadays..
The two things that use the most power in my household are my furnace (for the blowers) and probably my DVR.
Consider, fuel for generators comes from the mainland. Grid electricity is expensive in Hawaii.
Meanwhile, solar is highly effective in Hawaii.
I'm sure the coal lobby is desperate to start doing investigative mining.
If they're not successful, they'l be more than happy to ship coal from the mainland... /s

I almost dropped my tablet and nearly sideswiped a bus.
It's nice that every resume prepared using this will look exactly like every resume prepared using this.
Maybe you could use a little better paper stock. It should make your future POP!
Getting caught publicly.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.
In this day and age, running all possible unicode characters in testing would not be an afterthought.
Talk about things that would be trivial to automate....
To short Comcast AT&T and Spectrum.
NA beer, Decaffeinated coffee and teas?
I usually buy fresh vegetables and fruits. Farm markets when in season. I don't each much beef, except when I make tacos.
I spend about $2 a meal.
It all depends on what I'm trying to do with it.
Desktop, Laptop, Server, Router, DVR, NAS, Phone, IOT device?
Woot will have tons of "old" Echo devices available soon.
If you are stupid enough (or have a valid use case) to want an Echo, you may want to wait until the new devices are available.
They all just died in accidents like texting while driving, or choking to death while someone else was busy posting pics of their own meal...

If Alexa responded to commercials and randomly awarded a year of free Amazon Prime to the viewer.
Either roaming herds of killer cars, stalking prey in the cities.
Or more likely massive data breaches followed by ransomware on your car's display.
Maybe the manufacturers can make some extra money selling the data to their countries security agencies.
