You can buy crappy phones like this in the US too. ZTE makes a ton of them and you can easily find them online or at Target, Walmart, and anyplace else that sells cheap prepaid phones. If it cost less than $100 you'll wind up with pretty much the same thing -- crap.
I bought a $40 AT&T GoPhone that was a ZTE, just to use as a hotspot. And really, that's all it was good for. Crappy screen, slower than sh*t chipset, and not enough storage to upgrade the preinstalled apps, forget installing anything else. Exactly as the author described.
Doesn't matter. Accidents happen all the time. People in regular cars are distracted all the time. The fact is that she walked out into the middle of the street and got hit. Don't want to get hit? Try using a crosswalk.
But yeah, blame Uber. Because all non-Uber drivers and vehicles never hit jaywalkers. Ever.
How about we blame the woman who jay-walked out into the middle of a dimly-lit street at 10 PM? Noooo, let's not blame that stupid behavior, we should focus only on the driver and the the car. If she had walked, or rode, the extra bit to get to a crosswalk she'd likely be alive.
If this hadn't been an Uber car it never would have made headlines. People are distracted by all sorts of things while driving, and no system is going to be able to prevent all accidents, especially when people dart out into the middle of a dark road at night.
And when will this apply to robocallers, spammers, and debt collectors who use pre-recorded messages that try to trick people into thinking a human is calling them? Y'know, shit that they've been doing for over a decade and without anyone even raising an eyebrow.
If Google is going to be required to disclose it's an AI call, then all robocallers should have to as well.
Well yeah, that's what I meant about unsightly. But still, you can push them down back thru the holes and then just cover the holes. No need to go thru the effort to remove all the cabling. And if at some point you decide you want jacks, the cables will already be there and you can install jacks instead of making new holes. As others have said, it might be prudent if you decide to sell the house at some point.
Not all manufacturers provide 64-bit drivers, especially for older hardware. So upgrading to a 64-bit OS could require buying a new printer, or scanner, or webcam, etc., something people have no interest in doing, especially if the 32-bit OS they have is working fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Food deserts are a myth created by SJWs who have nothing better to do with their time. There are plenty of ways to get to supermarket that's more than 1 mile away if you don't have a car. The entire notion is ridiculous. If you place a priority on feeding yourself and your family quality food you will find a way to get to a market. It's that simple.
And if you're on SNAP or other assistance there are far better things you should be spending your money on than a $72 Amazon Prime membership. Like bus or Uber fare to a damned supermarket.
What exactly is wrong with addressing your college professors by their first name? You are both adults. He is not some kind of CEO or high-level executive. And I dare say professors that allow it foster a greater rapport with their students. Treating your students like children is not going to earn anyone brownie points.
If I can address my doctors by their first name I sure as shit should be able to address a college professor by theirs.
The whole editing history thing is stupid. I never use the editing function unless it's to fix simple typos. Anything other than that I delete and repost.
There is nothing to be gained by being able to see someone's editing history other than to use it against them.
Exactly the first thought that crossed my mind. I'm so sick of all these stupid the-sky-is-falling "security alerts" that essentially require the attacker to be sitting next to you at the computer.
Quality beans that are properly roasted should never result in bitter coffee, regardless of the grain size. If your coffee is bitter it's because it's poor quality or burnt.
So forgive me if I don't trust the "scientists". Do I believe that GMO in inherently bad? Of course not. It's simply a method. It's how that method is used that concerns me. When it's done for profit, then I am highly suspect of its safety. When it's done for strictly humanitarian reasons with no profits involved I'd be much more willing to be open to it.
Our history is rife with companies that would poison their own mothers if they could make a buck from it.
Because they are worn down by a society that refuses to make a place for them and allow them to earn a decent living and become productive members of society. And you get to a point where you're just tired of constantly being on the outside looking in, as the lives of everyone you know evolves and grows and you're stuck in the same place you've been for 25+ years, with absolutely no hope of things getting any better.
I certainly wouldn't mind extra sunlight hours, especially in the winter. It's very depressing to wake up in the dark and come home in the dark. That being said, I absolutely wouldn't want it if it meant having to work longer hours.

There simply is no better.
Multi-billion dollar industry whines it's not making enough. Film at 11.

Unless they are unsightly why bother? Just leave them be. You never know when they might be of use again at some point in the future.
Place a tinfoil hat on each machine on your network. Voila! Problem solved.

Without extensions you might as well use Edge.
If having too many tabs open is giving you grief install The Great Suspender. It suspends tabs, freeing up resources and memory.
Pay your fucking taxes and stop hiding money in offshore tax havens.
Deactivate all social media accounts before flying. Reactivate once you've reached your destination. Lather, rinse, repeat for the trip home.
What kind of software would one use to do this?

NO ONE CARES. JUST STOP.

Like my Moto X Pure has had since a year ago?
Now that's innovation!
Scientists swore for decades that smoking was safe, until it was proven otherwise.
Scientists swore that thalidomide was safe, until it was proven otherwise.
Scientists swore that fen-phen was safe, until it was proven otherwise.
The list goes on and on. This is just a sample: http://prescriptiondrugs.proco...

Exactly. How the hell do I launch Chrome Remote Desktop or Hangouts from the browser? Do I now need to have even more icons on my taskbar?

That in order to sign up for the beta I had to disable Ghostery and uBlock for the pop-up to display properly.
