So what you are saying is that the promised $35k Model 3 is vapour, and that Tesla can't yet manufacture it for $35k let alone sell it for that much including tax, and that they are still looking at shaving many thousands off the cost before they can even think about it.
The Model 3 is a nice car, but it's not cheap and people wanting the $35k version will be waiting a long time, maybe forever if they cancel it. I think cancellation is more likely, because by the time they do release it there will be several other cheaper cars with better range and features than the $35k Model 3. You can order a Kona today and I guarantee it will arrive before your $35k Model 3.
The SEC settlement included compensation for people who lost money due to his tweets. I guess you need to contact the SEC for your cut, rather than having to sue Tesla yourself.
It takes many years for the savings to be realized. I guess they could borrow the money, but it's America so to avoid looking too socialist they have to do it this way.
If it was an undocumented account that existed at install time it would have been widely publicised by now, not least in this report on ship cybersecurity. Obviously no-one can prove a negative, but unless you have evidence of this extraordinary claim then the probability of it being true is extremely low.
Considering the amount of scrutiny that Windows is under I find it hard to believe that an entire user account which could be logged in to remotely could exist and not be discovered. It would have to be hidden from all the usual places where user accounts are enumerated and configured, such as the registry and standard APIs. It would be under active exploit in the wild and yet none of the people who found it bothered to report it publicly.
Poor people having phones saves the government money. Instead of having to employ humans to process interactions with citizens, they can use web sites or apps. Even just having a call centre instead of an office where people have to go is a saving for the government.
Leaving stuff off has zero effect on power consumption. All modern chipsets can completely disable unused parts, it's literally a few transistors to completely cut power and reduce consumption to zero. Also compare battery life of the iPhone to high end Android phones and they are about the same for a similar battery size.
Apple make their own SoCs to differentiate themselves and to make sure that iOS can't be hacked to run on non-Apple hardware without extensive work. It also allows them to get some largely meaningless benchmark wins that fanboys wank over.
Windows isn't the problem though. As the summary pointed out, it was due to weak passwords leading to remote management services being brute forced. Running Linux doesn't make the IT department magically more competent, in fact it can have the opposite effect as they turn to Stack Overflow for help with an unfamiliar system.
If anyone doubts this then consider that they have a legal responsibility to make sure that button works in the EU. Otherwise it's a GDPR violation and potential fine of 2% of global turnover, currently about $2.5 billion.
Sargon used his Patreon money to go harass people. It's on video. Not to mention all the other stuff he's said over the years, including multiple uses of the n word.
Milo... Where to start? Outing students against their will is certainly enough by itself. Not to mention that little incident that got him fired from basically everywhere.
They both brought it in themselves. They both flirted with getting banned as part of their act, playing the victim. They must have thought Patreon would never ban them after all these years.
You won't be able to buy something this nice for $250 in five years. My current machine is six years old and still better than anything in the $250 range.
This is definitely on my list of candidates for my next laptop. I looked at the last model in detail and it seemed well made and durable. People have reported good durability. It's serviceable too, not quite on Thinkpad level but you can easily replace the important bits that are likely to die or need an upgrade over the course of a decade or more, e.g. the wireless card and SSD. The keyboard on the last one seemed decent too.
This looks like a great mobile dev station. 16:10 screen is great for coding where vertical space matters. Could do with more USB ports though.
Interesting argument, but the difference with Google is that it does in fact offer all of the relevant information and does not set out to deceive. When they ask permission the information is right there, with a summary and direct link to the full policy.
For performance single threaded speed isn't that important for many applications. More threads and PCIe lanes is likely to help more, especially with NVMe and 5/10 gigabit network interfaces.
Software development: Multi-threaded compilation is pretty common. CAD: All the major software is multi-threaded or not CPU bound now. Video encoding: Multi-threaded and offloaded to the GPU. Gaming: Well optimized games are heavily multi-threaded. Servers: Textbook multi-threaded application. Browsers: Since Firefox Quantum they are all heavily multi-threaded.
Are there any really big use-cases that depend on single threaded performance, that aren't just ancient software running at 9000x the speed it was originally designed for?
Android does ask you to agree to all that stuff, and it is legally required to, in fairly simple and easy to understand language when you first turn it on.
I'm sure people know that the data is being collected, what they tend not to do is read the detail of the privacy policy and understand how it gets used.
Alternatively you could read it as the DOJ helping Trump by providing him with an opportunity to pardon her or otherwise shut the investigation down, doing Xi a favour and strengthening their relationship.
You can build a conspiracy to support any idea you want, but in reality it's probably just the DOJ doing what the DOJ is supposed to be doing.
Want to use Google maps and actually store maps so you don't download them every time (whether you are on android or not)? You have to sign in and give over all your tracking data.
If that is true then please provide some evidence so I can file a GDPR complaint immediately. Seriously, show me the proof and I'll do it and post the complaint reference number back here.
See, under GDPR you have to have opt-in permission to use data. And I opted out of the "location history" stuff, i.e. the tracking. All Google has permission for is to use my current location to provide services and target ads, not to store that information beyond the absolute minimum time required for said services.
And I can definitely download maps for offline use.
Comparing the service that Google provides to rape is asinine.
Google gives you something in return. Believe it or not, people aren't forced to use Google and generally do so because they like the products. Google lets you control how your data is used and thanks to GDPR everything is opt-in. If you don't want to give them your data, don't click on "I agree".
It's up to you if you take the deal or not. Nothing is forced, unlike rape.

Neither "Windows" nor "RDP" appear in the actual report: http://www.ics-shipping.org/do...
You fell for the article's fake news, because you aren't smart enough to check sources.
Interesting the actual report doesn't even mention the OS, so it could have been Linux or anything else.

Windows doesn't have undocumented users there at install time.
It must have been someone installing it for easy maintenance. Probably an admin user set up specifically for RDP.

Remember Windows for Warships?

1. What exactly is an "assclown"?
2. What happened to the "drink!" guy? I miss that AC.
There is something close to a global off switch: https://myaccount.google.com/p...
If you go through those five or six steps it lets you turn everything off in a few clicks.
Since all modern games consoles and all modern gaming PCs are multi-core all modern games are optimized for multiple threads.
I had a good look at the previous model and it was solid. I guess it depends what materials they use and how they structure the body.
You could open the base with standard screws and upgrade it too.

So what is the solution to users not reading the things they agree to, even when those things are literally one or two short and clear sentences?
If we ban such agreements then a lot of free services go away. I think a lot of people would be upset about that.

The privacy controls work for me. What phone do you have? Are you running the stock OS or a 3rd party ROM?
