for one, on many airplanes worldwide, Bluetooth headphones are still banned and likely will be for years and years.
As someone who flies about every 3 weeks and loops the globe several times a year at various countries I have *NEVER* been told I can't use my Bluetooth headphones. Not in America, not anywhere else. I have once been asked to take them off only to pay attention to the safety video. The brand I have are sold at every airport in the world, even the shit ones. They are sold as the perfect device to make your flight quieter and when the noise cancelling is on, so is the bluetooth. Mind you they do have a headphone cable attachment, but I've never once used it.
Now what I have heard plenty of airlines all around the world say: "Please engage flight-mode on your device. If you wish to use the in-flight entertainment system, or the internet you will need to manually turn on WiFi on your device."
So no, no one gives a shit if you use bluetooth headphones, or bluetooth mice, or bluetooth styluses. And why would they? The energy emission is so frigging low that it barely makes it from your pocket to your head.

RS-232 - Something that became useless for Apple users long before it was dropped as a standard.

No my friend. Apple definitely did not have a history of dropping standards years before everyone could see they were right. Apple had a history of dropping standards after people were already scratching their heads as to why the damn legacy things still exist.
I understand that the perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good
Before you can make that claim you need to consider if carbon capture can even be classified as "good". Outside of a small pilot here and there there's yet to be anything substantial to show this is even workable.
What there has been is the promise of carbon capture in return for government funding and subsidies then bankrupt projects that make away with billions leaving the stock standard but brand spanking new dirty coal in their wake.
rather, Qualcom hasn't made a new SoC because the smartwatch market is dead
As someone else has pointed out the Smartwatch market is only dead because the company declared it dead without every bringing it to life in the first place. There exists a non-Android company that has pulled in some $3bn in revenue on their wearables last year. Not bad for a dead market eyh?
Regular watches do not need charging every day or week.
As someone who just had to wind up my $10000 Breitling because I didn't wear it for 3 days in favour of a sports watch, let's just agree that you have literally no idea.
You're not good at arguing so you probably don't understand the difference. But your post doesn't invalidate the original point which is that the exploit is shown working in Chrome.
Are you shopping for your groceries using an armoured truck with a set of guards carrying heavy weapons ? If not, why ?
I'll tell you what I'm doing. I am shopping for my groceries with a truck and security detail that is expressly made clear to me.
When I go grocery shopping in my armoured truck I know it's secure like a Secure HTTPS certificate. If I go grocershopping and someone in my security detail is on the take the security company will make that known to me and inform me when I'm insecure, just like a breached HTTPS trust. When I go grocery shopping in my minivan without security I know about that too completely fucking unlike how current browsers handle HTTP.
This is silly. Google is saying every website needs to be https. That's not true and is a waste of money and time to make every site https
They are doing nothing of the sort, they are only finally putting HTTP in the correct light: It's not frigging secure and never has been. The fact that so far we have put more effort into poorly encrypted but none the less far more secure than HTTP.
Only works on Microsoft browsers. I don't see a problem here.
And yet the screenshot shows it running on Chrome. I have no doubt that Microsoft is at fault or that Microsoft browsers are affected, but clearly it seems to work on Chrome just fine.
Hear that whooshing noise? It's sarcasm zooming over your head.
No whooshing noise. Pro tip: Read the context, not every reply on Slashdot is disagreeing with you, and your sarcasm was not only noted but built upon.
In case it's not obvious: This post is a negative reply to your silly whooshing comment.
I wouldn't assume their numbers are fudged. I would assume their assumptions are flawed. Driving down the cost of freight spurring demand would be relevant if last mile freight was even remotely something that limited the purchase of goods.
The problem isn't that a specific ad can trigger this thing, the problem is that ANYBODY can trigger this thing.
If they actually cared about privacy, security, or the end users, they'd work hard on voiceprinting technologies so that it only responds to it's owner and nobody else.
They already do, and sensitive information is only revealed to the person identified. Unless you think there's some innate security concern with your friend coming over and asking your Alexa what the weather is outside.
Thermals. The specs of anything smaller than a full sized laptop are 100% meaningless (except for the obvious: Not enough RAM, too small of a HDD). Most of the components of these devices will be limited by thermal designs as there is inadequate cooling for the components to perform anywhere near the manufacturer's specification. Reminds me of why the Surface Pro 2 outperformed the same spec'd Macbook Air, and why the Surface Pro 3 outperformed the Surface Pro 2 despite having the same (and at the time generations behind) processor.
You now have to ignore specs and look only towards actual benchmarks, unless you're buying something with a hefty fan instead of something ~0.5" thick.
I actually wonder if anyone actually puts their HDDs through a S.M.A.R.T. test when they first get them. The "Conveyance" self test is specifically designed to detect damage during shipping. Although, I'm not quite sure what it does or if it is useful.
This means doing things like intentionally impeding traffic by riding in the center of the lane in the name of "safety" (that car might hit you as it passes, so be sure it doesn't get a chance to)
That's an interesting one that I do myself when I approach a roundabout. Or at least I used to. Now I live in a country where drivers don't have a little penis problem and generally even when I don't block the lane in the name of safety I don't feel unsafe.
Incidentally I'm not sure what the law is like where you are but in the state in Australia where I used to live (and where people have a similar attitude to cyclists and cars as Americans) the law was definitely on my side, and I'll never forget the douchebag who decided to half overtake then shove me off the road with his car... while a police car was driving behind him.
The problem is a lot of car drivers think because they drive the bigger thing that some of the laws don't apply to them. Including the right to cycle two abreast on a multi-lane road, and my personal "darwin award law" to turn right from the left hand lane of a roundabout. Definitely a car person decided that law was a good idea.
Oh I agree and frankly the wider data reflects that. I'm just saying to take care when using anecdotes. By my own anecdote I would say Seagate is more reliable then WD, but people's anecdotes (including mine) have such low sample sizes that you may as well flip coins.
Hell in my household we have 100% success rate with OCZ SSDs. Frankly I have no idea why they went out of business:-)
It doesn't have systemd, that's why you don't like it.
I'm not sure what's dumber the fact that you're stalking me to the point you think I love systemd or the fact that while doing so you completely miss the fact I'm a huge fan of the Surface devices and own 2 myself.

So was it a fake recording in the article showing Chrome?
Maybe Chrome should depreciate it.

Tell me why I should upgrade again? Android hasn't introduced a killer feature in many years. It's now just re-arranging the deck chairs.

Often you don't really have the choice because you're dependent on a piece of software that isn't readily available on other platforms.
Office 2019 hasn't been released yet. For everything else there's no program that would push people towards Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8.1
Not to mention that most people using Win10 probably don't really care what OS they use.
Exactly my point. When people don't care then popularity is dictated by numbers none the less.
I wouldn't assume their numbers are fudged. I would assume their assumptions are flawed. Driving down the cost of freight spurring demand would be relevant if last mile freight was even remotely something that limited the purchase of goods.

The evidence is undisputed
Actually given the fact that they are in court, I think the only correct statement is that the evidence is being disputed RIGHT NOW.

Here is some bedtime reading for you: https://www.dedoimedo.com/life...
The point is that RF has effects in the body.
It does, Heating. Nothing more.
The Provant system was used for therapeutic effects.
So are placebos and homeopathic drugs.
Did they live longer or were their undead bodies simply animated for longer? :-)
