I use Centos on everything from laptops to desktops to servers of various kinds, from webservers to a custom RIP for a publishing company that I wrote a few years ago -- everything runs on Centos.
I know how Centos works and what it does and how to administer it, and what it's doing in the background (no mysterious processes) and it's very stable so I don't have worry about cutting-edge bugs or reformatting a machine and setting it up again from scratch since the lifetime of a Centos version is about the same as the (reliable) lifetime of the hardware that it runs on so by the time I need to replace something it's time to update to the next Centos version.
And by running Centos on everything I can write something on my laptop or desktop and know that it's going to work exactly the same way on a rack box or whatever else, too. No mysteries there either.
That came built-in with my Samsung S8. Spam calls are announced with a pink background, non-spam calls are announced with a black background.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to simply block spam calls; they go to voicemail. So several times each day I get a bunch of voicemails... "Press 1 to connect with a live local Google search expert" and so forth.
A simple hang-up when an incoming call is on my block list or the spam list would be far less annoying.
If you posted stuff on facebook for the general public to read (which is the sole reason to post stuff on facebook as far as I can tell) then what's the problem with the general public reading it?
I don't see any reason why this is any kind of breach of privacy or a surprise.
Perhaps facebook's problem here is that they didn't negotiate a sufficiently high service charge or license fee for the third party use of their data but that's their problem to solve, nothing to do with the folks who entered their data on face book in the first place.
Fortunately, there's still at least one way around it: if you right click, you can select "open image in new tab" or "view image" (or whatever your browser's equivalent option is), and you'll still open up the full-size picture. It's just a bit less likely that everyone will realize this is an option.
If I claim it then I have to provide documentation and verification to facebook, which I am unwilling to do.
And then people who do use facebook would (legitimately) expect to be able to communicate with me through that page. Again, something that I am unwilling to do.
So I figure it's best to just ignore it. I had and have nothing to do with facebook and if anyone asks me about that page (which nobody has so far) I'll just tell them exactly that. Not created by me, not monitored by me; if you want to contact me you know how to do it and it ain't through facebook.
Thanks! Now that I know what to look for I found the exact one that I had:
Science Fair SF-5000 which is a slightly earlier version of the one that you posted. The one that I had came out in 1971, apparently, so that's right around when I remember having it.
My first computer was more-or-less a toy for learning logic circuits and I'm pretty sure I got it in the late 60's or very early 70's?
I can't remember what it was called and I can't find it on google either (probably because I can't remember what it was called). You could make programs of a sort by drawing on a piece of paper and then cutting the paper out to put into a sort of a hood that was on top of this little machine and plugging some wires into holes in the casing, then somehow (I can't remember exactly how) you moved some red switches up and down at the bottom of the "computer".
Does anyone else remember that thing? It might have been from Radio Shack? I remember that the sliding switches were red and the case was beige and maybe that top hood was amber or red as well?
I own and operate a small business. I occasionally run my business name through google just to see what turns up about it.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that my business has a facebook page! According to facebook's help pages, I believe that the facebook page was automatically created when people "check in" (whatever that means).
I can apparently claim that page if I send facebook some documentation to prove that I own my business. But I can't delete it.
I have zero intention of claiming that page and rewarding facebook for their slimy behaviour in setting it up behind my back, though. And why would I want to intentionally forward even more information to facebook to prove that I own my business?
It seems obvious to me that if delivery isn't profitable, your business shouldn't be offering it.

A 10" tablet is actually too damn small for what I want one for.
Why don't they make one (for a reasonable price) that can show a 8.5x11 sheet of paper full size since most of the forms and stuff that you deal with physically is, guess what, 8.5x11.
I've tried using a tablet for my sheet music and the concept is cool (especially with a bluetooth page turning pedal) but the screen is too small so I either have to show part of the page at a time and scroll constantly, or it's too small to read and particularly too small to read quickly.
Why would I provide my roof (and have holes drilled into it and everything else) so someone else can install solar panels on it and then sell me the electricity that is generated?
Where's the advantage for the homeowner over just telling this lot to go way and continuing to purchase power as today without all of that gear on the roof?
This doesn't exist, may never exist, but by ghawd we're going to patent it so nobody else can make one if we decide not to proceed or find out that we can't do it ourselves.
Glad to see that patents are promoting innovation and encouraging inventors.
The microcode is loaded on boot, so you can still boot from a rescue disk (flash drive, CD, whatever) and remove the offending microcode from the directory that it's installed in and even install the "good" microcode while you're there, then reboot and all is well once again.
If you're running a remote machine hundreds of miles away from your own location, or one without a keyboard/monitor on top of an inaccessible rack, then it's more than a slight annoyance. Tell the guy who can no longer log into the remote computer that he just rebooted how slightly he's annoyed.
So I don't get to write the program that I want even though the functionality is there.
Remind me again why it's worth learning to write programs. I always thought it was so I could create the functionality that I wanted to create; something is missing here that I want or can use so I'll make a program to fill in that gap.
Can't do that any more unless you have permission from the higher-ups, I guess. So much for my computer, my rules.

How many businesses could lose $100 billion dollars and still be operating?
Obviously the valuation of this sort of thing is greatly overblown and has nothing to do with real world work or returns.
It's my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) that use of encryption is specifically banned on ham radio bands.
Your "solution" to the problem of obtaining strong encryption iis to use a medium that already band use of encryption entirely?

You're doing it wrong.
Left-click on the image so it opens into the larger image where "view image" button used to be.
Now right-click on the larger image and select "view image".
The work-around is in the article:

Sanitizing input is old fashioned and not brave, I guess.
Sheesh. Any programmer with more than 6 months of experience should know these things.
Er, shouldn't they? Or am I living in a world that's somehow passed me by. Again...
Sigh...

Apps were something that ran on your tablet or cell phone, but now it seems like people call everything an app.
Folks like us are now appers (or something) and no longer programmers??
