I put a case on any phone i have. So: thin phone + thin case will be thinner than thick phone + thin case. I moved from a 5s to a 6s (broke the 5s, middile age man eyesight liked a bigger phone) and i like the thinness of the 6s.
I hope not. I mean, some random dude putting a hard drive on a wifi router and connecting a couple XBMC/kodi instances isn't all that hard. If that intimidates you, then you probably shuoldn't be on a geek website where people can do a thousand times better than that all day long.
Not sure about the media infrastructure quip... please let me in on the joke? seriously... im not sure if you're saying i have too much invested or too little (my SMB server is a router with a hard drive, not a lot of time invested there).
As far as my household, i have a wife and twin infant kids. we put all the movies on the SMB server, then the big tv in the basement (for movie night) or the smaller one in the den (kids programs mostly) get it. or we watch something in bed on the laptop. For travel we use VLC on the ipad and copy things locally.
I use Kodi nee XBMC at home. I have my media library on an SMB server, and it works pretty well with 2Kodi and some VLC clients scattered across iOS and some PCs. Why would i want plex?
I gave up on fitbit. I had a charge HR that fell apart, and the warranty replacement fall apart.
They're not particularly cheap. about 130 or so, and the apple watch is on sale now for 199. Yet the apple watch feels 3 or 4x as solid and does 5x the things. I may get one.
the whole thing is a roll of the dice for them. Much like the music scene, you throw money at 50 people, 45 will fail miserably, 4 will come close to even, and 1 will be a rock star and finance all of the 50. It's been that way since the web came out.
The Internet doesn't even things out. By making location irrelevant for delivery reasons, it makes concentration of people/money for other reasons more relevant. So, we can Facebook corner the market for socail. we can have amazon corner the market for selling. Then any VC that bets on one of these has their rockstar and gets very rich. their roll of the roulette wheel paid off not 30-1 but 3000-1
Our company was a bunch of geeks. we had an original pilot (before Palm bought them). It was a tool for geeks. the whole Graffiti thing made it hard for people to just pick one up and use them. the sync software was a bear to use and felt like an infestation on your system. Whether you like social media or not, people use it to communicate how they wish to. You couldn't do that on a Pilot. Most didn't have any way at all to network. Even the Handspring with the cell module (I had a handspring, not the cell module though) didn't allow you to network much because there was no real OS support for it. Email sucked until the Treos came out.
And hell, i liked these things. So even someone who liked them, hated how clunky they were. There's no comparison to a smart phone. a lot of computing power goes into putting things into the cloud. a lot of computing power makes things easier
I think a homeless person in the US generates more emissions than 95% of anyone else in the world. Street lights and other things can have some attributions to even a homeless person.
I had to read the article to see, the hack was not due to a bug in filezilla. But this bug/missing feature made the other hack much more devastating. Once the malware infiltrated, it was coded to look for filezilla passwords and took advantage of that.
Yes, Somalia with the warlords and the piracy is the greatest paradise on Earth.
Libertarianism is a fiction. A fiction that I can do anything I want, and you can do anything you want, and we never get in each others way. But we're all connected. We all affect each other.
I know this is old and no one will read this, but another reason banks AND merchants don't want this is info. You not only pay your money, but you are also bought and sold as a stream of products tied to a card. This is why loyalty cards exist. This is why target cuts you 5% on their card purchases This is why Target does not support apple pay.
welcome to slashdot... where people say "i don't know X, please teach me" and the response is "FUCK YOU HOW COME YOU DON'T KNOW X!!!"
I exaggerate for effect, but not by much.
Think of it this way, what abstraction layer is being broken if you don't know what an SoC is? What model of programming is broken? If you don't know a CPU from a GPU, yeah, you're gonna fail at some point. If you think all memory is the same and you don't think of cache vs RAM vs spinning rust, then you'll have an unacceptable app. But an SoC vs many discrete chips? How will that break you?
System on a Chip. Basically the guts of whatever you're building. You may have other chipsets for auxiliary purposes (radios, GPS, etc) but this is what makes your device. In this case, it is a bit vague, since you can have SoC for a lot of reasons. But we all can assume it's an ARM based chip for use in Android products.
In my local appliance store, they're selling a Samsung fridge with Windows 10 on it. I've seen the horror that you've seen. THE HORROR.
The Evernote free version actually restricts you to two nodes, not one. It triggered me to abandon Evernote. And the cool new Apple trick was the ability to share notes between users. Apple Notes synced over iCloud for a while. The other cool thing is local notes. Evernote free was always cloud based. If you need a local note, you had to pay premium. Apple Notes is save locally then update the cloud version. So you always have the note locally. Great for notes for the Airport where WiFi is expensive and you don't get great signal from all the metal.
macOS notes also has a filter to import the Evernote XML export formal.
So, Evernote has massive competition for Apple iOS/macOS Notes, Google Keep, MS OneNote, even DropBox paper. So the thought seems to be, lets get rid of all these non-paying folks, lets concentrate on the much smaller group of paying folks. For the free tier, they've reduced the number of hosts you can access this from.
I personally have migrated all my notes away from Evernote to Apple Notes. macOS notes has added an import filter specifically for the Evernote XML export. Was pretty easy.
You've sent this message on a computer network with packet switching ideas invented by the US government, originally enacted between US government sponsored computers, over a corporate ISP, from a browser from another corporation.
Realize that you're a part of society. Unless you want to go become a caveman and domesticate your own corn, you're standing on the shoulders of others. You need to use other people's work. You need to trust them. Or if you want to be pedantic, have faith. The slavery metaphor is a bit much.

I know this is a troll (and i'll take any downvotes) but one of my fave movie lines...

YMMV,.

this makes sense. wife got me into sonos.. which is a pain with my media library. id like to move to FreeNAS with plex, but no free time to do this.

Bush #43 specifically passed legislation outlawing negotiating with drug companies. There's your Capitalist free market.
that and it can be a AirPlay speaker (a router with a headphone jack, but not a phone)

They were strangers in a strange land.
No longer at ease,
Early in my career I had some tech discussions with Tom "Spot" Callaway. Always helpful; good guy.

The only one i know of is Walgreen's drug store, which uses it for loyalty card.
