Back in Soviet times, every curriculum included a lot of Marxism/Leninism, leading to this joke:
Him: Ok, you've been trying to learn cooking for about a year now, how far did you get with your class? Her: Well, about to the fifth Party Convention.
In other words, stop stuffing degrees with bullshit.
What's more distressing is that with every election you get less and less of a choice. A while ago, you could actually vote for the person you think is the better one for the job. Now you're reduced to voting for the one you think could fuck up less.
Here's where the "government only" backdoors to your industry's R&D end up. Doesn't even take North Korea to kidnap spouse and kids of the ones you entrust with sensitive access, all it takes is fucking money!
But congratulations on having hardware that lasts, my dad's Macbook is about to croak (certainly not from overuse) and I'm pretty sure the next laptop he gets is a cheap model that runs Linux. Since he comes running to me every time an update is due anyway, I can as well give him one that I can actually administrate sensibly.
Could you please keep it to yourself? Yes, I know, and it almost kept Goedel from becoming a US citizen that he actually presented this at his naturalization hearing, but would you PLEASE not give the annoying orange currently in office ideas?
Then make that part protected by a user password or part of an online re-activation scheme where the user has to reconnect his repaired hardware with his Apple account, which also takes care about informing Apple that the hardware is now no longer under warranty.
Fine, then warn the user saying something like "dude, the repair you got was not done to our high quality standards, we really want you to know that all bets are off, try to get an Apple certified repair shop instead" instead of just bricking the device!
The fun bit is that in the Soviet Union, everything HAD to be built with the express goal to be easily fixable because they knew that "original" spare parts were notorious short in supply. Had the Soviet Union worked like we do, it would have fallen apart so much more quickly because the death of a wear part would instantly cause a machine to fail for good.
The only security I can see here is securing Apple's profits.
Why not give the customer the choice? Go with Apple parts and be safe, or use questionable aftermarket parts and Apple is out of obligation to provide any support?
If your product, whether it's a car or critical piece of infrastructure, needs to be functional 10-15 years from now, you need to disconnect it from an insecure network like the internet.

That only means that firing has to happen further up the ladder, too.

You're obviously using it wrong.

And users find Office 365 disagreeable, so it all evens out.
Fire the person who decided that you may only use Excel and hire someone new. Preferably not from the insane asylum this time.
Well, at least they're honest about what these people really are. They are just spelled wrong, it's "influenza".

Could it be that they know that this makes them popular without ever having to fear that it could pass?
This $17 million amount is more than Vizio made by licensing the data collected
This is what a fine MUST be. Otherwise it is part of the operating cost, not a fine.

Apple of course protects your privacy. Like every corporation it protects its assets.
Screw Tim Cook
I was pondering that, but then again, he just might enjoy it.
Whoever pays for it, we're not prejudiced, we are strictly equal opportunity.
Jobs was still alive in 2004, there's your reason. Can you point to any Apple product after 2011 that lasted longer than 3-4 years?

Don't answer. Everyone knows the answer.
Why aren't they using elephants for their 'vital research'
It's kinda hard to pick them up on their tail.

It IS actually that simple!
Look Ashit Pile posts here, too!
By that logic anything sold at WalMart crosses state lines because nothing you buy there was built in your state, hell, in the US.
I would, but I only have about 5 hours of spare time, not enough to get through to a CC agent.
Yes I have been there. What the fuck are you talking about?
