Many systems that monitor certs and warn you that they are going to expire typically give a 1 month warning. Then you have the red tape to get through to get the money to purchase the new certs. Plus the fact that you have other things that have priority right now, and the certs are still good for a few weeks. So you'll add it to your list of stuff to do, intending to get to it well in advance of it expiring.
And then your get furloughed. Something you didn't plan for.
The thing is that Trump is concerned solely with the wall, while the others are concerned with the full budget. If they give him $5.5bn for his wall, then where do they take that $5.5bn from?
Yes, they are saying "you can't have your wall", but they are prioritising this along with everything else that needs to be paid for.
To them, the wall, whether promised or not, is a much lower priority then everything else they have. Why should they compromise when they know there are more important things, things that your president doesn't concern himself with?
800,000+ people didn't get paid. If they all get on average $2500 per month, then that's $2bn "saved" right there. Just another 2 months of this and all of those furloughed workers will have paid for his wall...
"IMDb Freedive is only available to customers in the U.S. at this time."
I don't see any mention on the website as to when it may be available outside of the US.
Also, it doesn't support chromecast or apple tv, so that'll make it useless to a lot of people. Chances are most of them won't want an Amazon stick. Yes you can cast the screen of your phone to the TV, but that never works out well.
The best user experience is the one that generates more revenue for the company. Unfortunately it has very little to do with the people who are using the products.
Likely the only phone you'll be able to buy, then, is the Google Pixel. The vast majority of manufacturers install Facebook and other apps as system apps.
But you can always disable them, and then they can't do anything except use up space on your system partition. And since you can't actually use the system partition yourself, this is actually fine. Disabling an app on Android is as good as deleting it.
But, yeah, I wish I could delete it too (without having to root my phone).
I seem to remember it came preinstalled on my Sony Xperia X10, and that came out in 2010. And I doubt that was the first phone it, or anything else, was pre-installed on, and undeleteable from.
When disabled the OS prevents it from doing anything. It's locked away unable and unallowed to run. It can't do anything, so it's as good as deleted. It's basically just data using up space on your system partition, but that's not an issue as you can't write to the system partition anyway.
So 'acts as if it's deleted' is a reasonably good description.
I'm sure this is the case for more phone manufacturers. It's certainly the case for Sony also, at the very least.
I found on my old S8+ that I couldn't delete the Facebook app, so I just disabled it. Along with some other apps. I found the same on my Sony. So again I just disabled it, along with some other apps.
It's frustrating, though, that these apps are bundled as 'system apps' and thus cannot be uninstalled. I probably wouldn't mind as much if it came preinstalled but I could then remove it. But preventing it's removal is a Bad Thing (R), and personally I'd prefer none of the major (or non-major) phone manufacturers to do this.
But it's worth money to them, so of course they will. So, I suppose, at least we can disable them.
My personal preference is to use the browser for stuff like this. Facebook, Imgur, Reddit, Amazon, eBay, etc -- I prefer to just use their site when I want to do something. Yes, this means that they are tracking me online (even despite GDPR), but at least it's only my browsing habits they are getting and not also various data from my phone, which we all know the facebook apps, among others, captures and sends back to Mark...
The very first class you take in Economics in school will explain, very simply, that increasing the price will reduce demand.
If they are trying to fight against cord cutters, then surely the correct way is to increase demand on their own services. This can be done in a number of ways, one of which is REDUCING the price. The other is to pump some money into improving the product at the current price (i.e. give people what they want, not what you want to give them).
They are basically just slitting their own throats here, and will cause more people to cord cut. Those people who can't or won't (probably the elderly) are left to suffer with crippling rates that they struggle to pay.
I suppose, however, this sort of behaviour will just lead to the company ultimately failing and going bankrupt. And for some of these companies, that can only be a good thing...
Do you want to setup some sort of standardisation at this point?
If so, just pick a major laptop manufacturer and go with their products (Dell, HP, etc). Their products are quite good, and their support is quite good.
If not, give her a budget and tell he to go buy one. Give her some minimum specs to help her on her way (You need an i7 CPU and 16GB RAM and 250GB SSD HD, stuff like that).
Cash is still legal tender, and this must be accepted as a form of payment. Certainly here in Ireland, and since our laws are typically similar, I would suspect that is also the case in the UK.
I have the rounded tab. My only complaint was that they are taller than the old tabs by a few items pixels, so leave a few pixels less to display the page. Otherwise I see no issues.
I use Chrome both in work and at home. I would end up having a lot of tabs open in work, especially. I've never seen any if the issues being described here. Nor heard anyone in work complain. So I really don't get this...
Is this maybe just one person trying to find a reason to rant because they just don't like change, no matter how small, and are blowing stuff out of proportion?
So by your argument, Die Hard is a Christmas movie, as it had become a Christmas movie by the intent of multiple viewers -- huge deaths of viewers who watch it every Christmas, and only at Christmas. Thank you for clearing that up.

Cool. I didn't know they'd get back-pay. That's good. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
What about SpaceX's Starlink? Surely that will be online long before 2050...
It won't respond to Intents either. If something is, then something else is installed to respond to them.

The source code for Android is available as most of it is open source. So you can download a copy and prove it for yourself.

That's interesting... there must be another app installed, in that case. Facebook Messenger, maybe?

I should have asked, how many of his own citizens is he holding to ransom...
Remind me, how many workers is he holding to ransom over this? 800,000?
Cash is still legal tender, and this must be accepted as a form of payment. Certainly here in Ireland, and since our laws are typically similar, I would suspect that is also the case in the UK.
Swaths, yes. Bloody autocorrect...
Swipe "swaths" and it comes up "deaths". Manually type "swaths" and it's autocorrected to "deaths".
GBoard is a little morbid, methinks!
I have the rounded tab. My only complaint was that they are taller than the old tabs by a few items pixels, so leave a few pixels less to display the page. Otherwise I see no issues.
"mobile first" because the majority of users are mobile. I guess it simplifies stuff internally in the codebase.
Still doesn't explain why it's needed, though. Like, on mobile you actually don't see the tabs at the top of the screen...
