There is a fix for this. There should be a UI for it, but there isn't so you have to do this manually.
First go to task scheduler and disable reboot task. That doesn't really disable it though.
Next go to %windir%\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator and rename the "Reboot" file. Unfortunately Windows will create a new one when it noticed you tried to stop it destroying your work, so now create an empty directory called "Reboot" in the same location. Fortunately Windows isn't clever enough to delete it and won't be able to make a new reboot task.
So far this has prevented by work machine from rebooting multiple times a week, so fingers cro^%"£* NO CARRIER
The confusion here is because there are actually two separate parameters: speed and protocol version.
USB 2.0 wasn't just the addition of the High Speed 480Mbps mode, it also revised the software side protocol a great deal too. Worse still, the protocol stuff was really hard to explain to consumers and largely irrelevant for them anyway, but if the box said "USB 1.1" it was destined for the discount bin.
The same thing is happening here and everyone is still confused about it. USB 3.2 is the specification version, which incorporates all the older specs and updates them a little. Then you have the additional 20Gbps mode. Manufacturers are supposed to build to the USB 3.2 spec now, even if they only support the 5Gbps mode.
It's got as bad as Wifi versions. As a consumer it's very difficult to know what you are buying and how it will perform, even if you are a techy.
In the 80s we started moving away from saving and into investment, particularly in property. People view their property as their retirement fund. Sell it for a nice profit, downsize and no need to have a really good pension.
Of course investment is much more risky than saving. Governments won't let property prices fall too much because it would destroy millions of people's retirement funds.
Meanwhile the younger ones are spending all their money on rent and mortgages. They can't save much. In fact they only way they get a deposit for a house together in the first place is when some relative dies.
Weather forecasting is a hard mathematical problem with thousands of variables which needs to be calculated to be precise.
That was the old way of doing it. There are limitations to that method though, because there are limits on the accuracy of measurements and problems with the vast number of hidden variables, unknown unknowns that are constantly changing.
To get around that the old systems did a large number of predictions with random variations, and based on how like the variations were deemed to be and how many of the models resulted in high winds in area X, they would make a forecast.
A friend sent over instructions for ripping a bluray to HDD just yesterday. Took him years to get the process prefect. Still, it involves multiple complex steps, having just the right hardware and software, and at the end of it you get something you could have pirated with a fraction of the time and effort.
If they catered to people like me they could actually make more money. For example, when I buy CDs they are usually second hand. The older ones tend to sound better, from back before the loudness war started. Anyway, I put them in a box and never play them, and then download a "pirate" copy with all the tagging and artwork taken care of.
So the record label gets nothing, because it was second hand. But I'd pay them used CD prices for the opportunity to download those same FLAC files that I "pirated". I expect the same quality as the the warez groups, i.e. standardized tagging and artwork formats, standard file names, MD5 checksums, option to grab as one big FLAC file with a.cue for gapless playback.
Bitcoin? But it's too hard for ordinary people to use, and the value fluctuates massively.
If you can come up with a way of donating $5 to someone over the internet without involving any payment processors you will go down in history as one of he great digital pioneers.
No, the problem is plug-and-play. If the OS didn't install a driver and immediately allow the device to operate as soon as it was plugged in, we wouldn't have this problem. Same with USB but to a less severe extent.
You can actually do that on Windows. I don't know about MacOS.
There is one obvious omission from their list. They say they have no law enforcement equipment on their network, but don't mention intelligence agencies. Orgs like the NSA and GCHQ are not law enforcement, they are intelligence gathering.
Strange because if we look at Gillette's share price it was unaffected by the ad, and Nike's went up adding six billion dollars to the value of the company.
He pretends to be not racist by dressing it up, but eventually gets down to measuring skulls and ranting on about racial IQ and all that shit.
That's why they call him alt-lite. He puts a more acceptable veneer on all that supremacist stuff, playing the anti-identity politics line, but occasionally the mask slips.
Well, if it means abandoning a completely inflexible fanbase that demands crap re-hashes of the really awful EU books, I guess they should be disappointed by that billion dollars.
The Orville is a really interesting example. Personally I rated season one higher than the critics, but then I have a higher tolerance for Star Trek style cheeze. The stories were all re-hashes of common tropes, but enjoyable, and it was occasionally funny.
But then season 2 has been pretty bad for the most part. Some decent episodes but the first two in particular were terrible. Yet other fans rated them very highly, despite them being full of the stuff they were complaining about with Star Trek.
I think some fans are just pumping it as a kind of protest at Discovery, which is giving us a second excellent season right now.
Yes, it's very much the marketing strategy of Nike and Gillette and others now. Make an ad that most people will accept as a positive message, but which will trigger a significant minority, and watch as the outrage turns it into a viral sensation that people are still talking about weeks later.
Isn't the requirement to report on actual employees, not applicants? So there is no need to ask until after you decide to hire them.
Data is available on people looking for work in a particular industry and on industry-wide demographics, for fair evaluation.
This is usually an optional question in Europe. The data is only seem by HR for statistical purposes, the people evaluating candidates doesn't get it. There is no advantage gained or lost by answering or not.
The flaw here seem to be that they weight the ranking according to factors including the number of critic reviews... Since there are more critics for recent movies (because their critic database is always growing) it favours recent movies, and of course Citizen Kane because critics are secretly trolling everyone with it*.
* Nah it's a good movie really, just a product of its time and not something many modern viewers would enjoy that much. Kinda like 2001.
I guess once the movie is out and raking in a billion dollars it's harder to pretend that it's failing and troll attacks are less effective.
Really though this is a more general problem with user ratings. Critics at least try to look at the movie for what it is, e.g. if they personally prefer rom-coms they don't automatically say a sci-fi epic is crap and will try to evaluate it by some kind objective or fair measure.
Users mostly just give their worthless reaction (because you have no idea if their OH dragged them to see it or if they were just annoyed at something stupid) or are trying to make some kind of political statement.
Critic ratings and box office take are about as good as it gets as indicators, even though you can always find high profile examples of both failing (e.g. Transformers). Use a bit of common sense to know if it's your kind of movie and forget about the culture wars.
Can't believe I forgot the best one, the Don Quixote theme song "Miracle Shopping". The shop is actually called Don Quixote, and the mascot is a penguin... But it's commonly called "donkey" because "don-ki" are the first two syllables in the Japanese transliteration.
The bad news is that they have that as well in Japan. For example in many public buildings they have bell sounds near all the exits. Apparently they are to assist people with vision problems locate the way out. "Bong" every 10 seconds or so, all day every day.
Some train stations have some chirping sounds too. At first I thought some birds had got in to the Tsukuba Express underground stations, but the sound is actually electronic and something to do with the platform safety system I'm told.
The exact wording is "written communications that reasonably could contain information material to Tesla or it's shareholders". That's nowhere near the same as all Tesla related tweets.
It pretty much is though. There is very little someone in Musk's position could say about Tesla that wouldn't fall under that definition.
You are just nit picking now. Who cares, the fact is he fucked himself by being unable to keep his gob shut on Twitter, the kind of thing a low grade pop star would do, and the SEC is going to nail him for it.

Windows error codes might as well be replaced with a frown emoji.
That's literally what they did in Windows 10. The blue screen of death is now just a frown emoji and a reassuring message.

AI appears able to do a better job at this.

Another thing that really helps is encrypted RAM. It makes DMA attacks far less effective.
There is one obvious omission from their list. They say they have no law enforcement equipment on their network, but don't mention intelligence agencies. Orgs like the NSA and GCHQ are not law enforcement, they are intelligence gathering.
I think you may have missed the point of this exercise.
Again, how is MasterCard acting like the government here?
Strange because if we look at Gillette's share price it was unaffected by the ad, and Nike's went up adding six billion dollars to the value of the company.
Also, fuck off with your sock puppets Mashiki.

Word is that they have given Rian Johnson a trilogy of Star Wars films based on his ideas. That's how badly The Last Jedi failed.

I guess it depends how you interpret "grasp". I think your interpretation makes a lot of sense too.
