On Monday I was at their office fixing an unrelated issue when I noticed the desktop graffiti/banner saying they weren't activated. Weird. I plugged in the Win10 product key on the case sticker and it activated again. I just summed it up to another M$ fuck-up, didn't know it was as widespread as it is.
I'm so glad I use Linux at home =D
Since when do you get product keys on case stickers anymore? OEMs haven't done that since Win 8.
1080 HD looks like shit on YouTube. My monitor is a cheap TCL 49" 4K TV--it looks/works great. When I watch video I always look for 4k since the 1080 stuff looks like shit on my monitor. I suspect a lot of other people are in the same boat which is why I want to record and play back in 60fps 4k. 1080 is dead or dying quick.
You need a gigabit upload link. Pony up the dollars if you want to upload 12 GB any faster.
The broken-record repetition I'm hearing is HL3 exclusive. Yes this could be a good idea, IF Linux/SteamOS were a more established, mature platform among average gamers. It's not. Imagine this from the perspective of anyone who isn't a Linux nerd. You're a PC gamer, HL3 comes out, you want it, and you can't get it unless you buy a new, underwhelming game console (That's how most users will see them, and they just want to play on their PC), or dual boot their existing computer; hardly a reasonable expectation for the non-technical. Does anyone actually see this going over well? Because I see it turning into a riot-inducing fustercluck that will make loot boxes and GamerGate look small in comparison.
Just make the HL3 release SteamOS exclusive for early release, 3 months later release it for Windows and Xbox One.
Most communications satellites are located in the Geostationary Orbit (GSO) at an altitude of approximately 35,786 km above the equator. At this height the satellites go around the earth in a west to east direction at the same angular speed at the earth's rotation, so they appear to be almost fixed in the sky to an observer on the ground.
If you are located on the equator and are communicating with a satellite directly overhead then the total distance, single hop (up and down) is nearly 72,000 km so the time delay is 240 ms
If you were to communicate with another similarly located site, the total distance is nearly 84,000 km so the end to end delay is almost 280 mS, which is a little over quarter of a second.
They're putting them up a lot, lot lower than that, some only 200 km up. Pings expecting to be 25-35ms, which isn't out of ordinary for normal broadband latency. A speedtest on my fast connection just now put my latency at 51ms (with ~120 Mbps up/down).
With server access, I suspect pretty much any service has 'vulnerabilities' like this! I don't see how this is news. End to end encryption still relying on transit through secured servers that negotiate the starting sessions... There is a point of entry somewhere.
If you want 100% guaranteed private communications over distance, setup your own wires and adhoc, encrypted network.
If the offer is truly the same regardless of whether or not the NXP deal closes, there is a huge incentive for that deal to fall through. If they're paying $130b regardless, it would make no sense for Qualcomm to go through with that deal -- it implies that Broadcom is effectively valuing NXP at $0 and giving Qualcomm's shareholders no value for that asset.
No, it means Broadcom is valuing NXP at roughly the same as what Qualcomm will/may pay for it - so it's a wash.
Foreigners visiting the US have to go inside to pay for gas because our gas pumps required the billing ZIP code when paying by credit card. So be aware and pick the less sketchy looking places to fill up because you're going to be forced to go inside to pay.
For Canadians there is a trick to that: just use the 3 numbers in your Postal Code, plus 00. EG: postal code V1Z 2A3, use zip 12300. I tried that a few months back at dozens of stations, works great.
Not sure about other countries though.
Well that's the thing, windows is "too big to fail", so it gets a free pass in areas where others are heavily scrutinised.
For instance, PCI DSS requirement 8.2.1 says:
8.2.1 Using strong cryptography, render all authentication credentials (such as passwords/phrases) unreadable during transmission and storage on all system components.
Windows stores user passwords using the NTLM algorithm, which is based on MD4... This is not considered "Strong cryptography", i believe PCI defines acceptable "strong cryptography" elsewhere in the standard and in doing so explicitly rule out a number of older algorithms.
If someone is trying to comply with PCI requirements and is not using Active Directory, that's a problem right from the start. Using Active Directory changes the password storage to AES (kerberos).
Awesome choice, but can we replace the whole cast. The Doctor, Peter Capaldi is alright, not great but just alright. But the rest of the cast with him are horrible. Very bad actors and just don't work for the parts. I truly miss Jenna Coleman, fantastic actress and perfect for the part.
As per usual, there will be a new companion. I also don't see how Nardole could come back, considering where they left him. There is no other cast.
Winter weather anywhere in Canada except the south west coast (Vancouver/Victoria area) sucks. Vancouver and Victoria get rain then. That's lousy, but at least you don't need winter tires, a parka, and snow boots for 4+ months of the year, and then get super humid with a zillion bugs the rest of the time.
Cost of living is very high in Vancouver, and high in Victoria. Still, if you're coming from the Silicon valley, it's probably not that different.
This sounds strangely like the App-Locker feature that's available on some Windows Server and Enterprise editions...
Applocker prevents launching of applications based on rules. This sounds different in that it prevents apps from accessing data based on rules. So the application could be allowed, but it may not be allowed to access some data.
Or the tech companies could move to Canada. The Ottawa valley as well as the Kitchener-Waterloo has a lot of tech startups as well as established companies who are well established. Both of the areas have well respected Canadian universities resident there so the is a good talent pool. And there is the Toronto/Mississauga area which offers the same. Canada has a lot to offer, no Trump-like entities in our political spectrum (thank God) so its something to think about. We would love to have you here, to be part of our sophisticated and affluent society. Just saying:)
This would be the 2nd Major update since RTM for Windows 10, not the First.
The First was the Fall Update. It changed lots of things and broke powershell which still hasn't been fixed.
Powershell works fine. I think something is broken on your build.
For a single user, secure location (ie. at home) PC, you don't. That isn't the typical use case, most people share computers somewhat, and you DO want a lock screen for a portable device.
Why doesn't MS offer a "normal" edition and a "spam and snoop" edition ("Windows 10 SSE" *). The normal version would cost more. At least you'd know what you are getting and can avoid junk by paying more.
* Or Godwin it: "SS"
They do, but not for consumers. The enterprise version does not have this, even with Windows Spotlight - there is no link for fun tips etc.
Pick any of the following that you like: Spying on their users, collaborating with the NSA, donating money to immoral causes, monopolistic tendencies, churning out shit products with terrible support.
So all the things that Apple and Google are doing as well, eh?

no, group ones are encrypted as well.

asking students to voluntarily login to a proxy server at the start of each class,
Let me guess, this proxy lets students on to sites they wouldn't have had access to if they were on the school's network instead.
big difference between a university and a high school. A normal university won't restrict sites.
No, it is available on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 too. Storage spaces prefers using ReFS.

Older flip phones have 2.5 jacks. Most smartphones, including current iPhones, have 3.5mm jacks.
Most of the manufacturers won't give you the applications and connectors needed to tweak yourself yet, no.
