Russia is doing the right thing for their citizens here. App owner refused to store citizen data in country, app gets blocked. That's how it SHOULD be. Otherwise, your citizen's data is available to others without going through your country's due process. Worse, if it's stored in the US (where I live) there is no due process if the data isn't stored in your home.
If anyone is so overwhelmingly attracted to the idea of allowing a company like Apple or Google to control the "application market" that they see, then they deserve to not have many applications, and for their computer to be significantly less capable than everyone else's. The whole point of turning all your selection power over to some company, is to personally have less power. So this works out great.
Meanwhile, in Real Life, the market simply is the market. Nobody can remove someone else's product from it. Imagine how amazingly absurd that would be. The only way to get to that level of absurdity, would be to buy a computer where someone else controls what software you're allowed to use.
with each automated unobtrusive advance we get ability to hand over more of our bodies to automata and others.
hopefully such handovers will remain our choice.
some of us, even in other things, prefer to be in control and knowledgeable as much as possible, even if that makes demands on our time and other resources. for instance, that is why some like open source software and unix philosophy. others prefer (allegedly) easy to use proprietary stuff which cover up the actual workings and prevent repairing among other things.
we are getting to a similar choice about our bodies.
I believe you've got a false dichotomy there on the operating systems. Honestly, I believe most people would prefer open and easy to use. That combination just isn't available yet.
So the article says Hollywood is slumping and you're saying it's thriving and, somehow, either direction confirms we should all get to watch movies for free.
Well, to be fair, an article posted to slasdot from variety.com 3 days ago says Hollywood is thriving. Record revenues, even better than last year's record revenues...
The North American box office closed out the year with $11.4 billion in ticket sales, ComScore said Sunday. That marks a new record for the industry, bypassing the previous high-water mark of $11.1 billion that was established in 2015.
Ask for a raise too often (whether you get it or not) and you go to the top of the layoff list.
Meanwhile, you'll have more luck asking for a raise if you can show how you have improved in the interim. Switching to rainbow colored binding clips on the TPS report isn't likely to get much traction.
Using the new cover sheets on your TPS reports can be quite effective.
Welcome all to a world where you don't own nor are allowed to alter the software on items you purchased outright.
It cost the manufacturer millions just to develop that software. Do you think by you get the right to own it just by paying a few hundred bucks? That's like saying you ate at a restaurant, so you're now partial owner of that restaurant and demand access to their secret recipes. You have the right to use the product, but don't own the design. The manufacture won't hand you the source code, because that will compromise his trade secrets and therefore, harm his business.
The main issue is that the "Smart" (read connected) TV is exposed to millions of hackers and that's the stupid part. More connected something is to the internet, the more vulnerable it is. If the world continues down this moronic path for more convenience, there'll be a day when hackers will lock you out of your house when they seize control of your smart door.
No, it's more like saying he bought a plate of food at that restaurant and can do whatever he wants with the food. See how that works? He can eat it as they prepared it, add salt and pepper and steak sauce then eat it, take it home and make changes to it, give it away, throw it away, the possibilities are endless.
Really? Courts around here require you to be a more or less sane person if you want to drive a car. If you try to use the defense that you can't be expected to have common sense, the least you can expect is for the judge to invalidate your driver's license because by your own confession you're unfit to handle a vehicle.
If you complain enough and piss off the judge he just might incapacitate you. And try to get out of THAT again.
You better accept that you're expected to have common sense when going to court around here. That's why the whole "I'm too stupid to conduct my own life and hence I sue the company not telling me to not do $stupid_thing" isn't flying here.
Except the driver is dead, so who cares if the court wants to revoke their license.
Why do prime video still show me ciontent (while I'm logged in) that i don't have the possibility to warch( region testrictions), nice pr move Amazon " look at al this grait content that you can't whatch" wth?
Don't be sad. The content availability in the US is also awful. Most of what they list are things you can't watch with Prime video. It's just a way to get you to pay to look at ads for rentals.
No one ever has been looking for a Chromebook.
It's still a mystery how and why they are sold.
People who don't know anything about computers don't know that these are any different from a regular windows laptop. I know at least one person whose father bought one thinking it was a normal computer.
For many people, a computer is a web browser and a web browser is a computer.
Windows 8 is yesterday's news and should never have been released for desktops. It was a tablet OS only, regardless of what MS marketing would have liked you to believe.
Windows 10 has a much better hybrid UI. Not perfect obviously. It still has too much of a mix of old and new (reminds me of old OS X, some of the OS was brushed metal, some was smooth gradient, and some was skeuomorphic). But 10 has removed some of the strict (ugly) design guidelines of Metro that resulted in very uninspired UIs, and the adjustments between desktop vs. tablet modes make it much more useful on the desktop than Windows 8 ever was.
It doesn't please everyone, but nobody else is even trying. (Well, Ubuntu was for a while, where did that ever go?)
Poppycock. With a free program like classic shell, or the $5 start8 (I used the latter) win8 and win10 are virtually indistinguishable. I still use start8 (err, start10 now) on win10.
That's one of the main reasons windows is popular. You can do what you want to it.
Personally, I'd love to have a phone with an x86 instruction set processor. The lack of x86 and therefore support for most good programs is the only thing seriously limiting windows phone. If we had that, we wouldn't have to live with more limited "mobile" operating systems like android and ios (meego, blackberry, etc, etc).
When there is an abundance of information clamoring for attention, something has to give. That something is attention span. As more and more infromation demands our attention, each bit of information receives a smaller amount of our attention
.
We've become like hummingbirds, flitting from one information source to the next.
No longer do we take the time to digest the information we gather.
Of course the problem comes in when you can't filter out fake news sites such as msnbc. If you just go from source to source, you get screwed.
Sorry, but they do. I believe that labelling law requires them to do so (at least, in the EU - this is presumably one of the laws that TTIP etc seek to muzzle by bringing standards down to the lowest common denominator, ie, the USA).
Yorkie has 25% cocoa solids by mass - which surprised me, it's actually more than our UK favourite, Cadbury's Dairy Milk, which has 22%.
No PGPR, or butyric acid, aka "What vomit smells of", the stuff that makes Hershey's so "special" either.
I won't buy Nestlé on principle though. They deserve their reputation as "Swiss Bastards". Sadly, Cadbury's is in the process of being ruined by another giant "food" corporation, Mondelez (used to be Kraft), chocolate in the UK has kinda lost it's taste for me.
Yorkie? Must be something they don't sell in the USA. Here, a yorkie is a dog.
Ha, ha, ha! Good one. But seriously, it is nigh impossible to function on ecstasy, the FDA is a bad joke, basically a public face for big pharma. At this rate it won't be long before most Americans are just drug-addled zombies, be they prescription or street drugs, and the rest of the world will run circles around us. Always blows me away that so many people in the valley are so willfully blind about their drug addiction. It's why ideas that sound like genius under the influence make people in other places scratch heir heads and go, 'Whatever.'.

He won 51 games straight before his 52nd rival, Chen Yaoye, went offline, forcing the game to be recorded as a tie.
So the only way to win is not to play.
Meh, gamers ragequit when losing online games all the time. Nothing spectacular here.

Don't worry! DirecTV Now is Zero Rated on AT&T's mobile networks so it won't use any of your data! And all it costs is the death of net neutrality!
The price has already been paid in that case...

What x86 failures? I've been using AMD CPU's for years now. I'm typing this on one.
He probably just meant Zen, Jaguar, Bulldozer, K10, K8, K7 etc. Those failures.
It's aimed at servers, so its pretty safe to say it will be running 48 Apache threads with the socket code pretty much always in cache.
Or 48 other *identical* threads servicing multiple users for the same thread type.
Eh? Maybe you missed the whole IT thing that's been going on for like 40ish years but servers are used for a few things other than just apache.
Most modern mid-to-high end phones and tablets have hardware h.265 already. See the SnapDragon video specs.
Even my older phone, a galaxy s5, has h.265 support.
Downton Abbey is shit anyway. It's not even worth it free.
