There is reason to doubt anything said by the Venezuelan government.
There is reason to doubt anything said by ANY government.
Fixed that for you....
No there's not. Many governments around the world some level of accountability that makes them trustworthy in a lot of things they say. Now there's no reason to trust any government universally on every topic, but that's a big separation from doubting every(any)thing.
Windows by default enables metered connections on cellular. Windows Update doesn't run, software in the Windows Store software doesn't update or download, and other restrictions on data apply to the PC.
This is a non-issue. In fact the only thing really still missing is the fact that you can set this setting for WiFi but NOT for bluetooth connections. Guess which one is more likely to be used with mobile phone tethering...
"“if I run sudo npm --help my filesystem [changes] ownership of directories such as/etc,/usr,/boot”"
You don't even need to install or make a change to the system. Simply sudoing npm is enough to trigger the bug. Ironically those people who are ballsy enough to run everything as root are unaffected since this seems to be some iteration with sudo only.
Epic fail. Wait are we still doing Epic fail or are we just saying "Sad!" ?
Otherwise you're at thw mercy of the platform team
You do realise this is why Linux "distributions" exist in the first place right? Seriously the dependency for everything in the system should be maintained by one group and one group only. Otherwise you end up with some package manager making a change to a system incompatible with another package manager and the entire mess gets royally screwed.
The only time I've ever been forced to nuke the root partition and start from scratch in Linux was due to complete loss of plot by a package manager.
The people most likely to be using npm, and an apparently untested bleeding-edge version of it that gets pushed out automagically (there's a separate bug that pushed out 5.7.0 prematurely), deserve this rancid dog food.
Except buses aren't on demand often infrequent and even more often stop at many other places you're not interested in going detouring from a far more efficient route.
I asked what happens in 15 or 20 years when all that is antiquated and the servers are off?
This question shows you don't understand the nature of the type of business contracts these cloud computing companies run. Migrating entire companies to the Office365 has a few implications you don't understand:
a) The cloud services are just there for backup and remote access. There's no requirement as part of this for you not to have access to your data locally. b) The cloud services are perpetual. Servers are coming and going all the time. You've subscribed to something that is continuously evergreen and won't be obsoleted in a way that the user sees (i.e. backend servers are just replaced and you'll never know) or if the entire service is obsoleted it won't be done so without a migration strategy. Your un-upgradable servers are completely different thanks to your platform being tied to your hardware. That hasn't been the case with most things IT in many years, and goes doubly for cloud based services. c) The contracts engaged in the business side will have an out. Sure you may need to download a few TB of data back locally, but this isn't your consumer level up and disappear act, the lawyers make sure of that. d) You do not require 99.999% uptime on your Office suite. If you did you may as well close your business now. And I will happily challenge you to prove you actually can provide that level of uptime of your network services to your staff.
Something completely aside: You say there's no ROI on upgrading archived data? If you are going to let it rot and become unreadable due to age, then why did you archive it?
I would hate to see the state of IT in 20 years when all this shit falls apart.
People have been saying this every year since the dawn of IT. And we're still here. There's a lot of money involved here, and everytime there's money involved there's someone willing to make it all work out, for a fee, which is kind of why you have a job in the first place.
Don't compare business services to some screw the consumer crap.
Want to reliable purchase primary products, don't buy the product, buy the producer.
That is quite absurd. Companies reaching way beyond core-competencies such as a tech company going into mining creates huge inefficiencies (reads: expense). Then you have to wonder and care about not only the cost of acquisition, what to do with the extra resource, or even the exact opposite: how big is the resources, is it enough going forward and are we just kicking the supply problem down the road by buying *this* chunk of rock.
Let the expert do the things they do. Let them manage multiple mines, let them explore for new resources and extract the mineral the way they know best.... And lock them into strict legal contracts to ensure their supply ends up in your pocket.
The important outward appearance that's different is that they're not making money off your data by advertising.
Yes that is important. This means they have no financial incentive to keep your data secret, unlike say an advertising company who treat your data like the recipe to coke.
Seems the rise in weight and diseases really kicked off with the Fat Free fad.
You really distilled it down to some very simple thing, making exactly the same mistake as everyone else. Remember why the Fat Free fad started? Because people were getting fat already. There's no one magic thing that caused obesity, it was major societal change.
Post war consumerism, the world became faster and more competitive. We now have access to more food, faster, and with the ability to snack and avoid even the slightest chance of hunger pretty much at all times. We have stigmatised the idea of hunger. You should never be hungry, it is unpleasant. The easy way to avoid it is to constantly consume. Now would you like the drive through, or a delivery right into your hands wherever you currently happen to be? Are we unable to get to you? Why didn't you take a packet of crisps with you! What's wrong with you, WHY AREN"T YOU EATING ALL THE TIME!
Maybe there's more to this, and this just isn't a very good article.
Yes there is more to this. The guy is suing for unfair dismissal and it likely has nothing at all to do with cars and their quality and everything to do with some guy feeling like he's been hard done by.
This is a small overshoot in a good trend. The higher premium may make you to skip the breakfast in paper wrapper in the drive through in the morning. Your insurance rate will go down. You'll also be healthier. Your health insurance rate will go down.
Seriously what world do we live in where people eat in their cars.
Oh yes I fully agree. I was just pointing out that Nolan's praise for practical affects in the Dark Knight series deserves some context. It would be quite challenging for him to do the same thing in Thor or the Guardians series.
Then there's also style. I find the MCU is trending towards the hyper stylized. Thor Ragnarok, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, they are what you get when a unicorn throws up on a film edit during the colourising process. By comparison the DCU seems to be heading in the opposite direction with dark or single colourscheme graphics. It *should* be easier to cut the CGI on DCU as we see it now. Nolan did it, Snyder ruined it.
Justice League, especially towards the end was utter garbage. I don't think any characters were real.
And? What does best selling have to do with expectations? Tells us the best selling electric car in America and that doesn't mean it isn't falling wildly short of getting them into the hands of consumers.
The December quarter is especially interesting. Make a company that launched a flagship phone in Nov or Dec. I can make plenty that are rumoured to launch in 2Q this year.

The first tweet in TFA really takes the cake:

This is why I always reject anything that has requirements that I install the latest version of everything
Please send me through your IP address. I look forward to having another internet connected machine at my disposal.

So Javascript developers then.
If it is a file permission issue... boot from install disk into rescue mode... chmod and reboot. I don't get it.
Chmod to what? Do you remember what the user and group permissions on every single file on your system were?
Seriously, it's easier to reinstall.
Except buses aren't on demand often infrequent and even more often stop at many other places you're not interested in going detouring from a far more efficient route.
Comparing car pooling to catching a bus is silly.
By this definition roomba vacuums "fights back" when items are placed in its path.
Have you ever left a USB cable in front of a Roomba? The carnage is indescribable. I can still hear the 1s and 0s scream at night.
Do they do any real work at Google anymore or just write weird memos about social justice all day?
You do realise that Google has 74000 employees, and that you're complaining about a small handful right?

But it's not premature at all, things are rapidly moving to USB-C
Really? If you go and buy an iPhone X what USB cable does it come with?
The move to adopt USB-C was not mature. The move to ditch USB Type A was. There's zero reason for not having both on a device in 2018.
The important outward appearance that's different is that they're not making money off your data by advertising.
Yes that is important. This means they have no financial incentive to keep your data secret, unlike say an advertising company who treat your data like the recipe to coke.
Heavy handed is why not. A patch that literally makes your CPU perform like something from the 90s is not a patch which 'works'.

We are; I bought one new last year without a screen.
Wow, you must have been really scraping the bottom of the barrel. My 5 year old bottom of the line compact hatch has a touchscreen control.
By all means fuck up your body any way you like. But seriously man, eat for the love of food, don't eat shit to get fat.
Maybe there's more to this, and this just isn't a very good article.
Yes there is more to this. The guy is suing for unfair dismissal and it likely has nothing at all to do with cars and their quality and everything to do with some guy feeling like he's been hard done by.
just keep making cars that have NO built-in screens
Keep making cars? I don't think you know what that phrase means. It typically implies that we are currently making cars without built in screens.
Implying that data needing to be sent for preventative maintenance is "reasonable".
It's not. This won't make it through the courts, even in the USA or the UK.
Congratulations! You win 20% higher premium.
This is a small overshoot in a good trend. The higher premium may make you to skip the breakfast in paper wrapper in the drive through in the morning. Your insurance rate will go down. You'll also be healthier. Your health insurance rate will go down.

Feel free to fuck off back to gizmodo if you don't like it here.
I didn't say I don't like it here. I live for the kind of high quality discussions we are having right now.
