As nice as it sounds the compatibility of third party routers is like Linux on mid 90s era laptops, and that's if your router isn't some integrated modem router combo.
Personally I've never owned a device compatible with any 3rd party firmware.
finally they admit that their solution is not only dangerous
You clearly don't know how settlements work. In many cases settlements are just done so as to not draw out lengthy legal battles with no admission of guilt.
Hell the payments in this case aren't even related to safety in any way shape or form: "The proposed settlement does not mention the safety allegations but focuses on the delay in making the promised features available to consumers." But yeah reading TFA is too hard for an anti-Tesla troll.
which is supposed to recompense you for the $5K you spent for the useless software...
No it's supposed to compensate you for your useless lawsuit so people can go back to focusing on what they are doing rather than wasting time in the courts. The $5k software is real and a death or two doesn't change the fact that the software actually works just fine for many Tesla owners. Hell a simple youtube search will prove that.
It's millions if you develop everything brand-new from the ground up.
Essential phone tried this. Investment was in the hundreds of millions range.
Use an already existing cell-phone platform and screen,
Your fundamental requirement was the existing platform didn't suit your needs. You are literally back to ground up development of the hardware. The result is still a development cost in the 10s of millions.
I do believe it can be done - and profitable - at 10,000 units...
Well we're going to have to agree to disagree since you won't even look at the Essential example as evidence that it can't. Your $10000 shipments won't even cover development, let alone retooling, production fees, patent and license payments.
I think that calling the cops, in any country, and telling them 'there's an active hostage situation with somebody already killed' is going to guarantee an aggressive and armed response.
No and yes. Armed yes, aggressive no.
Hell, a lot of European countries have traditionally responded with military units in that situation, or dedicated counter-terrorism teams.
Yep, look at what happens. The response is a careful and calculated one without trigger happy idiots even when actual terrorists are firing guns into the air. Hell in the most recent one a cop negotiated a hostage exchange with himself, freed some hostages and paid for it with his life. The exact opposite of aggressive and the exact opposite of inherently risky.
Don't need 50MM people - 10K people would do it... Yes, i have those connections, and we've been seriously talking about this approach.
errr. no, you're delusional if you think 10000 people is a market that would even come close to breaking even, let alone be profitable for an expensive to develop high tech gadget. The Essential phone sold close to 10x that last year, and the result was... $50m in the red and the company effectively folded 2 days ago.
I find there's a difference between checking a few files in transit as they are loaded, and whatever it is that McAfee is doing that is using up an entire core of CPU for the best part of an entire day. I'll take 30seconds longer to install software any day over whatever shit my work computer thinks it is doing for my protection.
I completely agree, and even that had it's problems. But, you can't make an omelette and all that, so with a few duds maybe the learning process will produce some good movies?
What is the saying? "You can't make an omelette if screw up cracking nearly every egg?":-)
Well, yes. Calling the cops on somebody is inherently dangerous. But not to the extent that it would involve 'a reckless disregard for human life.' Calling the cops on somebody and priming them for a hostage situation where you know, for a fact, there isn't one? That's not just reckless, that's knowing and willful.
The key point the GP and I were making was that no, it isn't knowing and wilful without the appreciation for the fact that interactions with police in America are inherently more risky than they are in the rest of the western world.
Yes everything is dangerous, so let's go to the sliding scale of risk and go back to the original GP's comment and re-word it:
We're admitting that simply having the cops show up is so much more inherently risky than in the rest of the world that it constitutes a reckless disregard for human life.
Is he a favourite because he had so few scenes, and fans 'filled in the blanks' to make him feel cooler than he is? Is he a character where 'less is more' should be the core idea?
You're asking the wrong question. The question you should be asking is: "'Should we milk our $4bn investment by making a shitty movie about every character in the known universe and ignoring lore as we go?" And then answer yes.
I don't mind a Fett movie. I'll mind if it's done badly.
You'll mind. About the only starwars movie that was even remotely interesting of late was Rogue One.
How do you have a middle line on a 4x4 grid? My own middle line has Israel on it. The man who said he knows the answer to lasting peace and in the process managed to build up quite a nice body count thanks to his actions.
In the US, per law, there is either a treaty or not.
The law is quite irrelevant. The USA agreed to do something, started doing something, and walked away from it while it was happening. Your petty legal ramblings do not interest the other countries who now see the signature of your president for the value it truly has.
But that isn't what Bolton was referring to - Libya Model is to demand absolute, verified shutdown of nuclear development, no exceptions.
THAT is the Libyan Model any sane person would understand Bolton was talking about.
Yes. How well has that worked out for every dictator subjected to the Libya Model? It's like saying saying that tying up your daughter and sitting next to her while polishing my gun isn't threatening, it's just me practising rope skills and showing how much care I take for my weapons. The "threat" is in the implied natural conclusion to any such actions, and not the action itself.
You need to demonstrate that you're willing to walk away from the deal
Yes but normally you do this... once you have seen part of the deal... or once negotiations have started.
It's a fairly basic power play when making deals of this caliber.
Basic is a good way of describing the mind that came up with the idea of walking away from a negotiation they themselves spurred on before it even starts.
We've already demonstrated that our country won't honor our President's promises longer than his term.
This is a saving grace for much of the international community. They are hoping that these few years blows over as quirk in the history of the world and things will go back to normal.
I dread to see what will happen if Trump wins a second term, then it stops being a quirk and starts becoming a mindset of the people of the USA.
I have heard of it. I just didn't know it was a service. I assumed they were some publishing company on behalf of the music industry. The only place I've ever seen the Vevo logo was on the bottom of Youtube music videos.

But for any of the people in the class this is a joke
For any of the people in the class this likely represents an epic win given their very likely piss poor chance of winning.

2 and a half hours of watching C3PO being put together on an assembly line...
We've got that one, It's called "The Phantom Menace".
Real life is complex they are no pure good guys and bad guys.

Virus scanners are judged on how well they completely cripple a target system. Windows Defender doesn't do that so it just isn't any good.
Oh and First post. Or at least it would have been if I wasn't running McAfee.
Wookie vs. Predator (hairy action)

Bacon is delicious. You just can't get any in America. You guys eat the crap we cut off and feed to the dog. https://www.resetera.com/threa... :-)
This is yet another negotiation tactic
Walking away from a negotiation where the other party has already capitulated before it's begun?
I'm beginning to see the "art" part in "The art of the deal."

They must be in serious need of some pork rinds
Would that be the vegetarian Hindu Indians or the Muslim Indians who are in need of pork? :-)
By the way pork tastes gross, eat beef instead.
I have heard of it. I just didn't know it was a service. I assumed they were some publishing company on behalf of the music industry. The only place I've ever seen the Vevo logo was on the bottom of Youtube music videos.
It seems to me that the common factor is that they work at a US Embassy.
Probably this is the natural reaction of being exposed to Trump's foreign policy documents.
