Eero manages your equipment from their remote servers (i.e. the cloud) and therefore your network is no longer secure nor private. A 3rd party, remote managed device is too high of a risk for me to accept the convenience of mesh network.
FAQs for Eero states that it collects "[O]ther data such as MAC addresses, IP addresses, and types of connected devices", which in my opinion is a lot of information to know about a customer.
As examples, cloud managed means the 3rd party company has unrestricted access to:
- Complete inventory of all devices connected via wired or wireless connection.
- Uptime and downtime of all devices in the home.
- Travelling of devices/customers amongst any Eero enabled residences.
- Position of all devices within the home.
- SSID and access credentials.
Plume is another vendor that manages devices in the same insecure way.
Double click any of the ribbon tab headers, to make it collapse and get out of the way when you need the space. CRTL-F1 is the keyboard shortcut. Office 2016 even has a button beside the minimize button, to collapse the ribbon.
It is not just one small portion of the company. Previous Sony related stories on Slashdot have plenty of examples.
Specifically to your example of Playstation, I would not consider the other OS issue as "pretty responsive to the community"
Weren't "direct messages" in the early years of Facebook mostly wall-to-wall. Everyone else could see them; I recall reading quite a few conversations that should have been kept private (phone numbers, address, etc). A lot of users I knew back then did not know there was a difference between a user's inbox and their wall.
I use the Instant Search functionality for Outlook (uses "Windows Search" I believe). It completely indexes your email and attachments and I find email from several years back in only a few seconds. You can even search for tags with "categories:junk" or for specific things like "from:joe hasattachment:yes sent:2010". I believe that has been there since Outlook 2003, definitely with 2007.
I agree, and I still use the sunset version. Mainly for the money flow graph that details your future finances. I have tried Quicken a few times and still find the old Money version simpler and cleaner to use.
In fact, I've been in it, the last six times I've had crashes.
Not meant as an attack, but either you drive in an extremely dangerous neighborhood, or you are not a good driver.
I have been in zero crashes in my 14 years of car driving, and 6 years of motorcycle driving.
I would not typically put myself in a position like you described. I would not even do that if I was not in a vehicle, why put yourself in a corner with no way out and leave yourself at risk? I didn't see your exact incident, so I can't give a perfect answer, but frankly I would not be in the middle lane with no escape.
Why only 1.2s seconds? Where was that vehicle when you started to slow down? Did you slow down too suddenly?
I'd be really interested in knowing how I can avoid these crashes, since I've had the same exact accident four times in the last four years and I'd really like to have your amazing powers of accident-avoidance to prevent having another one.
I would hope that after so many similar crashes, you would ask yourself what you are doing wrong, instead of just taking it as part of being on the road.
Maybe it related to driving a motorcycle too, knowing that one "accident" can lead to death. It is my responsibility (if I value my life) to ensure the other vehicles do not hit me, regardless of whether they are paying attention or not. Posting blame will not save my life.
P.S. No I am not a overly conservative driver, I started as the typical speeding teenager, and have my fair share of traffic tickets and near-misses. But I am always aware of those around me (especially behind me).
Although I don't agree with the GP's post, I don't agree with your arguments. You still have some control over your safety.
I was stopped at a red light and the one-ton pickup truck coming down the road behind me at 60 mph somehow didn't see either me or the light and slammed into me
Were you looking in your rear view mirror? Did you not see a 60mph pick up truck heading towards you? You can definitely see if it was slowing down or not.
My aunt and uncle were in a quad-cab pickup truck with their friends, who drove through a country intersection in which the cross traffic had a stop sign. The driver of the semi truck coming down the road failed to notice the stop sign (or the large "STOP" painted on the road a couple hundred yards before the stop sign) and t-boned them at probably 65 mph
Sorry to hear they were killed, but once again, did you aunt look? Was there not enough visibility that she could not see the 65 mph semi-truck? Yes, you are expected to look at every intersection. (Related Example: You will fail your motorcycle driving test in my area if you don't look at every intersection)
When you have your full attention on the road, yes, you can avoid/reduce almost any dangerous situation.

What is to stop that mechanism from being used (and abused) for other purposes?

That's an easy point to forget. Until they remove the feature altogether, I'll have to stick with garbage/random data as input.
Same. I don't want them to be easier to break than my password.

Dropbox does allow you to set a separate password to open the app on the phone. Might help a bit.
Unfortunately does not appear to be an option for the BlackBerry version of Dropbox.
