Third, tell it how to talk to your wifi, using the wifi password.
And I hit a dealbreaker right there. There's no way I'll allow a console to talk to the net. If a console can't work without doing so, then that's one I won't be buying.
I agree. I strongly dislike the Chromium UI, and have been getting increasingly dismayed at the number of browsers that have decided to become a clone of it.
Well then, how about this? As a US citizen, if I had to choose between being spied on by China and being spied on by the US, I'd prefer it be China. China has little power to harm me directly, where the US has immense power to do so.
Of course, it's a false dichotomy, as we can be sure that we're being spied on by both.
You are correct, there are circumstances where testing in a production environment to some degree is not possible. But in my experience, those circumstances are really very rare. More often, companies decide that "impossible" means "expensive or very inconvenient."
The greater sin here was that they were using a live system for testing. That's extreme negligence. If they followed best practices, then there would be no need for special "testing" IDs at all.
If you have a need for special "testing" IDs at all, then you are already in dangerous territory and, at a minimum, need to be much more cautious than would ordinarily be called for. A good rule of thumb: the need for testing IDs is a big red flag that something is likely very wrong in the production process.
Yes, you can Unlimited in cases like this doesn't mean 'infinite', and no reasonable person would think it did.
Wait, so companies just get to lie and it's OK? "Unlimited" means unlimited. As in no limit to the amount of storage you use. To argue otherwise is odd.
No, that's abuse and you're a jackass.
If a restaurant offered "unlimited bread sticks" without the usual stipulation that it's just for people who bought food, then it's not abuse at all to bring 30 of your friends in to chow down so long as it's allowed by the terms the restaurant set. It's being a jackass, yes, but not an abuse.
I have seen a fair bit of banking code in my day, and I agree. Much of what I saw was ludicrously awful and barely working. But that it was working at all seemed a miracle. Certainly, I've never seen another industry that was saddled with as much crap.
I don't see where Gartner was only considering machines running Windows as "PCs". The computer world has a whole lot more to it than just Windows-based machines and Chromebooks.
On the one hand, Chromebooks are computers that require manufacturing, so perhaps they should. On the other hand, Chromebooks are not really "PCs" as the term is usually used and occupy an entirely different market segment.

That would work, but why would I go to all the trouble when I can just use the release version?
What sort of circumstance would lead you to need a 4K Blu ray player? Are you sure you didn't mean "want"?

The whole thing is tied to Windows 10
In that case, I need amend my earlier answer from "No." to "Hell no."
It gives me no good reason to.
I need to have confidence that I can continue my normal workflows on my primary machine.
I agree. I strongly dislike the Chromium UI, and have been getting increasingly dismayed at the number of browsers that have decided to become a clone of it.

routes traffic through Opera's server farm for compression.
That doesn't bother you?
I don't think any of the top browsers are trustworthy, so this just seems par for the course.
The dollar menu is alive and well in my area.
I'm willing to eat the crappy mass-produced meat on the market right now. I don't see any real difference between that and lab-grown meat.
...and increasing customer delight with Windows
Microsoft is going to start trying to make Windows 10 delightful? That's good news, although a bit late in the game.

It actually makes sense, as the assumption was that 089 to 100 wouldn't include 10B, 10C, etc.
That only makes sense to software engineers who are terrible at their jobs.

Precisely.
Fortunately, it's still possible to get and use forks of Firefox from before Mozilla started ruining it.

And note that Bernie did not walk away empty handed. He has already moved Hillary to his positions on free college and universal health care.
That's a pretty huge assumption. He forced her to change her rhetoric, but that's miles away from actually changing her position.
So you're effectively voting for Trump then?
No, he's voting for the candidate he feels best represents his views. Which is precisely what we should all do, no matter which candidate that is.
Despite the fact that Bernie said we should do everything we can to stop him?
Ummm... why would Bernie's opinion be some kind of deciding factor? That's just nonsense.
Well, not everyone. I know a substantial number of people that don't. They consider them a category of their own.
My point is that because Chromebooks weren't counted doesn't mean that the PCs that were counted consisted entirely of Windows machines.
