Why do stores need to support each device separately?
It was my understanding that Apple Pay is pretty much EMV over NFC and if the stores' reader supports both of those technologies, then Apply Pay will "just work". Does the Google/Android Pay stuff not work this way? If I recall when Apple Pay went live some stores (ie, CVS) were automatically accepting it but then went and manually disabled support (because they were onboard with that failed CurrentC).
As for Apple Pay Cash and Google's equivalent, yeah it would be nice if there was a standard that could be used between devices. Bank's can't seem to even agree on a technology as the 3rd party my bank uses for sending money p2p has changed a couple times (and the last time I used it, it was pretty flakey).
Well they reference the log data. If I remember correctly from when I had the DJI P3, it uses AGL relative to where it takes off. The software by default also limits you to 400ft AGL. Seeing as how he knew of the advised maximum altitude (height?) of 400ft agl, had the limiter disabled/increased and flew over 500ft as recorded in the logs, he's still well into the idiot category.
And yeah, the limiter wouldn't have helped in this case as he was under that. Just more adding to the idiot designation.
The full report shows that he knew about the maximum permitted altitude of 400ft, yet logs showed he flew as high as 547ft 1.8 miles away. He also knew there were frequently helicopters in the area and still flew it 2.5miles away, well out of sight. This is why we can't have nice things.
I guess it depends on where you use it. I had a party at a relatives house and Google Maps kept refusing to use their address correctly. Every time I entered it, it would change it to something else and put it on the same road, but opposite side of a park. Apple Maps accepted the address and correctly located it.
The person I was referring to uses it on his phone using carrier data since his place of work does the same (firewalls, no wifi for employees, etc..). Funny as well because he was always wondering where all his data usage was going..
Unfortunately I know a bunch of people 35+ that can't get their faces out of Facebook. It gets annoying when trying to have a conversation with someone and they come over and shove their phone in your face to look at some pointless thing you don't care about, on Facebook. One of them even makes up excuses about how they can do their job plus keep up with whats happening on Facebook while at work (they can't even walk up or down a short flight of stairs without taking their face out of their phone.. smh). The worst part is when they get visibly angry when I ask what keeps them so enthralled for so long.
I (40) however, could care less about it. I have a Facebook account which I log into maybe once every couple months.
This exactly. I pay with credit cards because i get cash back or points towards things like gift cards for places I actually buy things. I'm paying the same price at the register as someone who is paying cash, except that I get back a percentage of what I'm paying for to reduce the cost of something next time.
Not everyone is using credit cards because they can't afford things. I hardly ever carry a balance on mine and pay them off right away. I also don't like carrying a lot of cash around with me. If someone steals the money off you while your out shopping, you've probably lost it for good. If someone steals your credit card you can simply cancel it and get a new one. Any charges incurred will be wiped away.
They do have a "partially implemented" HTML5 console but it doesn't currently support all of the features of the main web console which unfortunately, still requires flash.
all cried out in frustration when the vCenter web client stopped working today due to flash suddenly crashing due to an automatic update.... and then further frustrated by the fact they'd have to manually drop back to the vulnerable 27.0.0.159 to actually administer their servers.
Screw you Adobe. And screw you VMware for still only having a partially implemented HTML5 interface.
Saying the UI doesn't communicate the differences is not entirely true. There is a visual difference in the control center between the radio being "on",m "disconnected" and "off".
In the normal "compact" control center mode if the device is "disconnected", the icon is displayed with a gray background (blue background is "on"). If the device is "off" the icon has a cross through it. In the expanded view (tap and hold on a button will bring up the expanded view), it will actually say "on", "disconnected" and "off" based on the mode.
I'm not saying this makes everything better, as the user would still have to know what the visual cue's mean. But to say that the UI fails to communicate this is not true.
But yet diskutil displays all drives and allows you to initialize an unformatted disk, whereas Disk Utility does neither. Assuming they both use the same underlying framework then why would one display unformatted disks when the other does not? It would seem like there's something in the GUI that selectively displays the drives. This is already evident by the option to "show hidden" partitions (ie the rescue partition).
So it looks like either Disk Utility is purposely ignoring unformatted disks (boo), or there's a bug where its not displaying them.
Yeah, but what "average user" is buying an unformatted drive? Virtually everything is pre-formatted out of the factory these days so users don't have to format in order to start using their new drives.
A dumb bug to be sure -- but the impact should only be to those who have blanked out a drive on their own without re-formatting/re-initializing it at the same time.

True. Also, in using the previous release to help test this (10.12) I couldn't find a way (via Disk Utility) to blank a disk. There used to be an option in Disk Utility that would let you initialize as "empty space". That seems to have gone away (shows how often I use it). I had to drop to the command line to clear the disk (w/ the help of dd). Something that the average user will also not be doing.
Still would be nice to have these features in the gui. But I can live with it, as long as they don't remove them from the cli tools.
Well its more like man diskutil, as you can still see unformatted disks there and use diskutil eraseDisk... to format it.
A bigger issue is that when you plug an unformatted disk in, it pops up the usual message that its unreadable and to initialize it. Clicking initialize opens disk util which then does not show the unformatted drive (which it did in all previous versions). So for the average user, this could be confusing.
This looks like it could just be a bug in Disk Utility. Hopefully.
Guess I should have paid more attention to the summary and main article.. I had thought 2FA was required even with Find My iPhone but I guess its not. That sucks.
I believe it sends you and email whenever someone logs into Find My iPhone. Also 2 Factor Authentication is available (and should be used at this point).
If you long-press on one of the buttons in the control center, it pops up a larger display that sort of details whats going on.
If you tap the wifi or bluetooth buttons to turn them off, the blue highlight turns gray and the text in the larger display will say "disconnected". If you turn them off in the settings app, the highlight turns gray and there's a line through the wifi/bluetooth logos and in the larger display it says "off".
The airplane mode button which is the first button in the control center, when pressed, turns everything off.
It's not obvious and I didn't really know that this is how it worked until I saw the Apple support doc. Knowing now how it works, I don't mind so much. It means on my iPad I can have Bluetooth on, but "disconnected" and still be able to use the pencil (rather then having to have BT fully on).
I'm not arguing, if Bazaar is better in ways then git for a single developer then thats fine. Choice is good. However git's version of your example is exactly the same:
cd ~/project git init git add . git status git commit -m "imported project"
What? Why not? Git is perfectly fine for a single developer. I use it all the time on personal projects. You can even create multiple local repositories so if you screw up your primary tree you can easily recover it.
I'll have to check it out as I've heard about it for a while but never gave it a try.. I liked Atom for a little while but couldn't find extensions that did things exactly the way TextMate does so I just stuck with that.

TFA doesn't provide any evidence of the discontinuation of iTunes. It's purely an opinion of the author that it could mean the end of iTunes.
The only thing they actually report from the leaked email is the discontinuation of iTunes LP.

Sorry, the 400ft agl thing is advisory only, my mistake.
It's also a default limit in the software that he would have specifically disabled.
The drone pilot was indeed an idiot.
The full report shows that he knew about the maximum permitted altitude of 400ft, yet logs showed he flew as high as 547ft 1.8 miles away. He also knew there were frequently helicopters in the area and still flew it 2.5miles away, well out of sight. This is why we can't have nice things.

I crashed my Phantom 3 a few years ago and decided it was best to just drop the hobby.

I sure hope you don't broadcast that you always carry a few hundred dollars on you.

This really shouldn't be an issue anymore.
So you simply press the "Airplane" button, which is the first one in the control center, and it turns off (off off) all the radios.
If you long-press on one of the buttons in the control center, it pops up a larger display that sort of details whats going on.
If you tap the wifi or bluetooth buttons to turn them off, the blue highlight turns gray and the text in the larger display will say "disconnected".

I'm not arguing, if Bazaar is better in ways then git for a single developer then thats fine. Choice is good. However git's version of your example is exactly the same:
I use a remote bitbucket on a personal vm, but same deal. Can even just set up a remote repo over ssh.
What? Why not? Git is perfectly fine for a single developer. I use it all the time on personal projects. You can even create multiple local repositories so if you screw up your primary tree you can easily recover it.
I'll have to check it out as I've heard about it for a while but never gave it a try.. I liked Atom for a little while but couldn't find extensions that did things exactly the way TextMate does so I just stuck with that.
You got me thinking ...
$ du -sh TextMate.app
31M TextMate.app
$ du -sh Atom.app
506M Atom.app
WHY?
152M Electron Framework.framework
221M node_modules
86M apm
But I guess I could use Atom on Windows.... if for some reason I wanted to stop using NP++.
