The smarter nations don't allow their security cleared workers to bring consumer hardware in with them.
Yeah, and just this year it took some random person looking at publicly published fitbit data to point out the error of the US government's ways. Remind me again how the proactive smart people banned the data uploads before this became an issue?
Wow.. I didn't know it was the future already. My Ears 2011 Mac Book Pro is stuck on High Sierra because it doesn't have the graphics hardware needed to make it to Mojave....
So yeah, I may have a desk full of Apple hardware, but I can see that Apple can't br trusted to keep supporting systems for more than 5 years.
A couple problems with this.
- It’s 2018, and 10.14 Mojave was just released. To this point your device has already been supported for 7 years.
- Apple maintains the three most recent releases of its OS. With the release of Mojave, Apple stopped patching 10.11 El Capitan. Your current OS, 10.13 High Sierra*, will continue to receive security patches for another 2-3 years.
So your “5 years” has suddenly turned into a decade.
* Also a classic movie starring Ida Lupino and Humphrey Bogart.
You are totally missing the point. Apple has introduced hardware requirements into its software that preclude me from running Apple software. Thus this outcry over the T2 chip is not surprising.. Apple has done this before and they will do it again.
So what are people supposed to do when Apple finally stops supporting said hardware and the hardware owner wants to use a different operating system on the hardware he or she purchased?
You mean like in the year 2031? Maybe learn to deal with reality a little better sometime between now and then.
Wow.. I didn't know it was the future already. My Ears 2011 Mac Book Pro is stuck on High Sierra because it doesn't have the graphics hardware needed to make it to Mojave. Sure there are people who have managed to install Mojave on similar machines, but after seeing all of the caveats it's not just worth it.

Can someone remind me again why the USPS seems to have a cash flow problem? I mean, if there was plenty of money to around inside the USPS I'm sure that things like this would be more likely to be fixed.
My wife signed up for it, it's sort of creepy and exciting (at first).
I would assume they image everything (at least letter sized) as part of sorting.
I expect that this what Netflix uses to speed up delivery of DVDs. I regularly drop a DVD in the mail and Netflix will send out the next one in my queue well before the returning DVD will have made it to their wharehouse. So on one hand creepy, on the other hand faster turn around time for their service.
They were mostly mass produced cheaply long after the war, when the civil rights movement was gaining traction in fact. They were designed to remind the people demanding equal rights that they were not equal,
This is no better illustrated today than the news that popped up of Stacey Abrams (D candidate for Governor of Georgia) burning the Georgia state flag back in '92. In 1956 the Confederate battle flag emblem was added to the Georgia state flag (finally removed in 2003). Opponents of Abrams are basically pointing at her and saying "OMG she should never be Governor because of how she treated the state flag, wherein all likelihood the flag was figuratively desecrated back in '56 in order to intimidate a section of the populace, and Abrams object to that desecration.
By contrast, to suggest that others use nonfree software opposes the basic principles of GNU, so it is not allowed in GNU Project discussions.
This is the kind of religious/political zealotry that turns people off CoCs!
(Just kidding BTW. I personally avoid nonfree software to an extreme.)
You say "just kidding", but there are some problem domains where there are no FOSS solutions nor will there ever be any FOSS solutions. Absolute statements like this from RMS fly in the face of this position which means either I am not welcome in GNU projects, or I have to pick and choose which parts of his CoC I accept and which I reject - which in both cases defeats the point of the COC in the first place.
I assume that people who look between their legs and deny or want to change what they see are mentally ill
Which is purely your opinion. A lot of other people believe very differently - especially with the distinction between sex and gender.
I also assume that people who get body mods to look like a vampire are mentally ill.
Again.. another personal opinion on your part. Do you also count other body mods such as piercings and tattoos in the same group of people you believe are mentally ill? If not, what qualifies as a body mod that you ascribe to a mental illness?
"Once the darling of design" is right. Actual research shows that the "open office" idea, with no privacy at all, is a terrible idea for a workplace, which maximized distractions and minimized getting things done.
The cubicle *was* the reaction to the open office plan. Looks like we are finally going full circle.
On the other hand I think Panasonic has it wrong. They should have opted for full on VR headsets where you can map in all your work spaces plus any background that you like.
I was watching an anime this week (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.I.C.O._-Incarnation-) and one of protagonists was infiltrating a building aided by his elite hacker colleague - who was bypassing all of the computer security and lock systems as the infiltration progressed. At the final stage the protagonist was blocked from entering his target room by the simple fact that it was sealed with a physical lock and key.
Though I am sad that he didn't finish the game, I rather feel more sorry for Josh Parnell than for me or my money.
He gave everything he got and it was not enough. Things like this happen. As far as I can see it, he did not spend money for things outside the project. Rather the contrary: my impression is that he poured is own resources and health into it beyond any reasonable expectation.
The question for me (not that I have money in this project), is given that he brought in 3 1/2 times the original goal, did he try to stick with the original scope and just flat out failed, or did the scope suddenly grow now that he had all of that extra money? Because hopefully going into the project he had a reasonable idea and plan on how to execute it.
on the other hand... what idiot creates a mouse with a non-replaceable, rechargeable battery but puts the charging port on the underside so you can't charge it and use it at the same time?
An idiot with courage of course!

New technologies let us make the same stuff for less labor or energy, a few percent every year.
It doesn't matter if you consume 10% less labor, or materials or energy per unit if you then go and produce %120 more units each year. That way lies cancer.
There's likely to be a ton of towns called Middleton in the US and the main story links to local paper and even TFA doesn't say which Middleton. It was only looking at the banner of the TFA that I saw it was Wisconsin.
. Be sure to enjoy a world where you pay for a computer that you have zero control over and no say in how it's actually used because shit companies like Microsoft take more and more end-user rights away.
Guess your reading comprehension is garbage and/or you just conveniently skipped over that. Go fuck yourself, troll.

Put a pebble in one shoe and wear a loose jacket...
I read that in a Sci-Fi story once
I just asked Siri if she was my friend. Her reply was
I'm not just your friend, I'm your BFF
So creepy all around with these talking buddies of bits. (Cue insult from Dr Smith)
It's called Informed Delivery. They email you images of what's arriving that day.

honor their preferences about their gender identity
I for one do not welcome our mentally ill gender neutral overlords. You can identify as mayonnaise all you want, but i won't refer to you that way.
Why do you assume your gender neutral overlords are mentally ill? That would seem to be a personal bias on your part.

free batteries, charging systems, maybe sim cards, and some metal to sell as scrap. Yay makers
Why not disable the security and just sell cheap working electric scooters?

Giving the benefit of the doubt here, does anyone have any links to technical papers about this quantum-resistant cryptographic solution?
I had one on my desk here, but then I looked at it.

Shell, even the dumbed-down "Power"-shell seems to be to hard for them to code in....
It sounds like you have never experienced the joys of powershell programming. Dumbed-down is not an adjective I'd be using so flippantly.
Ayup - All attacks depend on programmer stupidity, not computer language - PEBKAC is the mother of all issues.

Perpetual growth also means selling more than last time, and the only way to do that is to make people want your new stuff. .
I heard this a long time ago with regards to resource usage, but it rings true for everything:
Perpetual growth is the creed of cancer
