You might say there's some experience to it. I take cabs a lot (working late shift and whatnot) and many drivers ask me directly "how about a chick for tonight". I'm married, have kids and love my wife, so never took the "opportunity" - but I am aware that the phenomenon exists.
Taxi drivers also do the reverse all the time. I don't know about USA, granted, but here in my country, the best place to ask for prostitutes is a taxi driver.
Yeah well I am not sure what "disable" does, because I have tried that in the past with bundled apps coming on Samsung phones and I still was receiving occasional alerts / notifications from them. I just do not want the app to reside on my phone.
I don't have the bloody app installed on my Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016). And guess what came in December 31st, 2016... a system update. What does it say, among other things? "Installs Facebook App". Sorry, it does WHAT? Yes I will risk the security holes and will NOT install this app. The phone is company-provided, otherwise I would sell it and get a Pixel.
So yeah, there's no "interestingly" about Facebook taking pole position. The reason is it being bundled on most phones.
As is typical, Slashdot bruisers can't haggle the broth, and mood it down to -1 so they can avoid teeing it. In this case, the broth is Asus Grit, the illiteral Word of Gourd, sent that we could have starvation. You can censor it all you want and believe your fairy tales now, but you'll still have to face Gourd when you dye. All your silly fairy tales about pralines and neutered stars won't get you into Haven.
I'm sorry but you're missing the point. Shipping price is dictated by the offer/demand balance. Carrier quota is not something I can change or alter or control as a customer. From my position as customer, I can only control the carrier I choose, and not even that's applicable at all times. It is normal for me to expect my parcel to arrive in my possession, intact, within the agreed amount of time, at the agreed cost. I, as a customer, am looking at a straightforward, simple process: go to website, pick product(s), add to basket, pay online, wait for parcel. everything else is outside of my control. Now, if a carrier comes to me and says "help me, my quota is too high and I have literally no time to deliver all parcels to everyone", I could file a complaint against the carrier company mentioning that the person who delivered my parcel said they are overworked. That's pretty much as far as I could go.
Interestingly, no earlier than last week I was reading an article about one of the largest private postal companies from my country. Its CEO was whining that they can't find enough drivers/carriers, and they had to increase salaries to almost 350 dollars a month in certain regions (frame of reference: the average salary for my country is a bit above 400 dollars a month). The obvious solution is: increase it some more and people will come.
I was wondering how on Earth is this possible. Living in a so-called 3rd world country and the courier's contract is solid. They are not allowed to drop parcels anywhere else than in the end user's hands. No door step dropping or other fuckery. The parcel value should be paid in full to the end user if their signature is not on the paperwork.
I have that feature on my Lenovo X240 but I haven't found it useful. If anything, it would be misleading. Here's an example: I was watching a movie and my laptop's battery was 15%, saying it can still hold for 35 minutes given the current load. So I went back to full screen mode, and less than 10 minutes later the laptop was at 5% so it went into hibernation. I guess some background process decided to fuck with the laptop resources because of "5 minutes idle" or something.

Security would come crashing onto my head if I did that.
I reported this update to them, let's see what they say.
Correct.

Had a lil' bit of fun with the parent post.
Same. I do a lot of torrents, all from private trackers.
Except, it's Capgemini CEO who should send a reply.
Like most P2W games out there.
Ark: Survival Evolved is already out there.
Looks like their leadership thinks so. Their employees apparently don't.
So something has changed for the better.
One excellent reason to not repeat the same mistake.

Epic shit, man.

I hope they got a room. But Kit Opie is a male.

Looks like I made a politically incorrect joke and got someone offended.

I'm glad it was a thief with doors. A doorless thief would have escaped.
But I wonder how did they lock his doors remotely?
...forever?
Damn, Slashdot really missed this clickbait title: "TSA groping causes amnesia!"
