Not always. When I bought my Kindle, you had a choice between the Kindle... or uh... the Kindle. One device. One Price.
Having said that, I'm happy they kept an ad-free version. I have no qualms about their sales model.
Yeah, this is a ridiculous press release. It's not even like they've beat x86 in any meaningful way. These consoles were designed to meet a price point and, just as important, not bake themselves to death a la PlayStation3 and Xbox 360. This was four years ago. They only reason these chips will beat these consoles in 2017 is because the consoles stay standardized for ease of development, cost reduction, and die shrinking.
My average ping time over VPN is pretty similar to my ping rate over some in-home powerline adapters I have when they're doing okay but not great. Guess I'll have to rewire my entertainment area since someone wants to ruin the fun.
It's free*, not free. Every new Windows PC (with some exceptions) still pays for a license. On point, it's only their business if an end-user lets it be their business. Many will; I won't.
But what is sorely lacking is mention of specificaly which issues were fixed - a CVE number would be nice, where possible, for example
Or maybe like, some sort of knowledgebase article, "KB" if you will, that informed the specific issues that were fixed, and perhaps which files were included with the update. A person can dream, right? Sadly, the science just isn't there yet.
I don't think it'll happen soon, at least where I live. There are many things that are far more dangerous on the road that are allowed, like motorcycles and the horse and buggy (I live somewhat close to a Mennonite community). Regardless, they'll have to pry my keys from my cold, dead hands.
The day this shit becomes compulsory for Progressive is the day I find a new insurance company and/or buy 7 more cars (junkers) so I don't have to carry auto insurance. Uhhh, well, maybe not that second option.
Regardless, this sounds less like the future of driving and more like the future of getting boned on your insurance rates.
I think it's a pretty decent deal, honestly. There are a few factors making the Nissan Leaf a good deal. Doug Demuro had a nice post on Jalopnik outlining some of the reasons why they've become so cheap. Admittedly, he exaggerates for humor in his articles, but it's pretty on-the-nose. The man used to manage a Porsche dealership, so he does understand the automotive market reasonably well.
I was surprised the summary didn't mention the fact that the company NBC hired used audio recordings from people's smartphones to guess statistics.
Mr. Wurtzel provided data from a firm named Symphony Advanced Media, which uses audio content recognition installed on phones to recognize what is being watched and when.
I'm willing to bet most of these users didn't even realize that fun game asking for microphone permissions was doing this.
I'm curious why the face value being worth less than the face value is an issue. Doesn't the US Mint still own the metals? Doesn't it get used more than once? Can't they melt it down and make more pennies? Japan still makes a 1 yen coin, and doesn't have these issues. Maybe it's time to switch out copper for a less valuable metal.
I'm willing to bet one of their warranty providers has been compromised. I know they farm out a lot of stuff to the likes of Unisys (and that's the better ProSupport) and likely less reputable companies. It wouldn't surprise me if Warranties-4-Less out of India/Mexico had a breach.
And it'll all be out of date in two to three years, but so embedded that replacement means your door chime stops working and you end up with a permanently-lit dashboard warning light.
I'm reading this as.. "Well, we need to have redundancy, and we're already ponying up this much money, but how can we spend less and still say we're "redundant?" I'm not faulting the datacenters for offering such a service, but the customers should really have a hard look in the mirror.
Yes it was. The Pentium M was derived from the P6 architecture in the Pentium III Tualatin. The Pentium M then evolved into the Core Solo and Duo mobile processors. Everything else went on from there, as far as I know.
In all fairness, almost everything modern would wipe the floor with the Netburst CPUs in terms of power efficiency, even back then. They were basically slow hotplates, and the Tualatin Pentium IIIs ran circles around the early Pentium 4s. I find it funny that Intel's Core architecture renaissance came from bringing back P6.
Who would have thought those silly women could be fooled by changing of wording? While I don't care for some of the "women in STEM" shenanigans going on lately, this just strikes me as insulting to women.
The problem with requiring developers to let people use the bundled remote is that it may require drastic compromises in gameplay to accommodate that. Some game that originally required four face button and two shoulder buttons could end up having to cut functionality to work, or retool mechanics to do things automatically, which may require even more work. Swipe and motion gestures can make up for some of this, but heavily action oriented games will potentially suffer.

Sounds like they're taking a page from Toyota's playbook.

I mean, you can account for that with a poor powerline connection or noisy wifi.

Crap. I hope I can get a refund on this ticket I bought.

Ever heard of Calty?
