Major Geeks has a link to a stripped version of Windows 10. Updates might be a problem, or maybe thye can be downloaded and installed manually. I'm thinking about it. After all, no Store and no telemetry isn't all bad. https://www.majorgeeks.com/fil...
5G will be limited to cities and areas of concentrated populations. I expect the 5G roll-out, to consumers, won't begin in earnest until the big ISP's determine how costly it actually will be. This won't hurt Apple very much at all.

You nailed it. I refused to pay over $20 for local channels that are otherwise free and "sports packages" that I don't give a shit about. Cable TV sucks due to excessive greed. We switched to DSL at 24-Mbps. It streams 4K HDR just fine, with no data caps.
Damn them. No company should inject code into any website that customer actually pay for. If they want to host for free, that's another story. And yeah. My website is a lot slower than it was. I thought it was my ISP, but the speeds are in spec. Transferring a complex website is a real time consuming PITA. I'll do it anyway, if they break my site.
I have a 65" 4k TV that is as close to 1970's sci-fi as I could imagine. My LG K8 (bottom of the barrel) smartphone can let me have two way conversations with people that speak languages that I don't, using Microsoft Translate. Space X lands stage one rockets, and reuses them. I stream TV without commercials. I could go on and on, but won't. Man, the future is great!
It seems like Microsoft is unwilling to fix lame code let into the OS because they fired 10k QA engineers to save money. Instead, they're patching the patches that were created with useless crap was put into Windows 10. Windows 10 is becoming as unreliable as Windows 3.1.
Oak Ridge National Laboratories has several new designs that are safe. One is particularly interesting design where the cooling and energy generation are combined. These will be less costly and intrinsically safer than traditional designs. The scale up models need to run long enough to prove the theories behind them. They're looking good.
What a stupid thing to do. Pad a reaction video with some fake reactions. Damn, that cost him all his credibility. In today's fake news world there is no room for phonying up any video, news item, or posts. Stay pure and stay believed. Cheaters are losers.
You sound like you might have some good ideas to share. Try running for office and be a help to the community. Or, do you just like to complain about others?
Too bad Google has the man in charge that they do. He misrepresented everything to Congress and at the same time had building a Big Brother search engine for China as one of his main goals. Get rid of this guy and bring in someone with a sense of ethics.
Aspiring to work in a field doesn't mean that anyone can be the next Bill Gates. it takes a special kind of personality and intellect to be able to make it to the top. Implying that anyone can do so, is disingenuous and misleading. The best will do well. Many won't make the cut. Others will work on a help desk. We're not all the same and never will be. A high IQ level is a fair indicator of one's ability to work in computer science.
Zuckerberg has a history of following the motto "it's easier to apologize than to ask permission". No one should be surprised when Facebook's initial response is childish denial instead of a factual explanation of events.
The price of Windows is a great point. Windows 3.1 cost $39 to install on $1000 PC's. Windows 7 through 10 cost $99 to $139 to install on PC's that you can build for under $400. The cost of Windows is now excessive in many ways..
The money paid may have been a contract buy out. We may never know since facts are no longer important in SJW America. I agree that 200 engineers won't make a dent. It shouldn't even be news, other than the story seems intended to make men in power look bad.
Concrete today needs to use epoxy coated rebar for the longest life and to prevent the nasty rust spots that eventually appear as the concrete degrades. Too bad cost cutting is still common.
MS has been trying to fend off Chromebooks in US schools for many years. They failed. Windows RT and 10 S were and are much more work to administer, and cost more in the long run for that reason. School IT departments love the ease of setup of Chromebooks. If a kid breaks his Chromebook, you just login to another one and all your stuff appears. School kids are growing up to become consumers that likely will prefer what they're used to using. That's what the Ars article is about. The future of home laptop computing is not Windows, except for people that have to run Windows specific programs and can't do what they want online, or with an Android app. Quicken comes to mind. Even tax programs are now available online.
I don't see an Uber or Lyft driver as having a miserable life. A coal miner breathing in toxic dust has a miserable life. Diamond mine workers in Africa have a miserable life. Chinese factories workers outside of the biggest areas have a miserable life. Uber drivers can always find a new job. There's no forced labor here, in spite of low wages and long hours.
SJW's are a very pushy minority. The market is telling them to dial it back. I hope all of the entertainment industry realizes that they need to appeal to the morals and ethos of their customer, or lose the customers.
No surprises here. In fact, I expect Facebook to continue finding new and creative ways to sell user data to keep the profits rolling in. The only way to stop it is for everyone to leave Facebook. That's not likely to happen anytime soon.
The ocean pollution problem apparently comes from ten rivers located in Asia. North and South America are not killing whales. This is just another pointless feel-good move to show that "they care" in Chile.

That joke is too last decade to be funny anymore. At least to me.

Nothing will be private for these poor kids. Enjoy your new "smart" speakers citizens.

I wish I could grant you a point for Informative. You did a great job of explaining. I agree that PoE is superior, with the metal walls in the barn.

If Facebook is involved, it already is a bad idea and anything could go wrong.
