3.4 Mpixel with 3:2 is something like 1500x2250. Remains to be seen (no pun intended).
As for only Universal Apps (BTW called just "Windows Apps" last time I checked, but I might be wrong as they are changing them periodically, remember Metro apps, W8-style, Modern Style, etc. ?) they (or were rumors?) said desktop apps could be installed, just that not "enabled" by default. It does look to be the normal Wintel ultrabook (of which we do have plenty).
It all depends on pricing and what's the quality overall, the screen, the keyboard (again the CLOTH keyboard?!) and so on.
Sadly for production boxes this was the decision the moment we realized they stopped support for NPAPI plugins. And more people on slashdot did the same... https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...
This isn't the way to go but really we've had enough aggravation with old certificates, unsupported encryption algorithms and so on. Just give me the yes, I really want to run this and leave me alone. Noooo, users are too stupid to be trusted, they'll click anything. I'm on 192.168. or 10. for f*k sake!
Well users are too stupid to upgrade to the latest POS that doesn't let them do their work.
on the one hand I WANT the notifications of any activity on those accounts immediately notified to me, but the risk of someone getting into my phone (e.g. by observing me enter my PIN, and the stealing it) and being able to take control of those accounts via the linked email and 2FA which is tied to that number... is too great.
It'd be nice though if various cloud service providers would let you register a separate notification email in addition to the admin email. So that I could receive notifications like 'a user has logged in from a new computer to your account..." on my phone without that being the email address being the one that can also be used to retrieve/reset login and password credentials.
I'm sure for each provider there's a trivial pattern you can use and have only the "user has logged in from a new computer to your account..." notifications forwarded to your phone. Don't tell me your "secure email" where you receive the "2FA" mail allows forwarding but without even basic filters.
You can't just scan books and then distribute them electronically even if you try to make it with DRM and to keep "only one copy out". That is without explicit permission from the copyright owner for each [version, translation of each] book. I mean you can but in any place in the "civilized" country you'll get sued into bankruptcy (with or without the nice boys with guns and handcuffs breaking your door at 3AM first).
1. Why would you limit your library to precisely one and the same room if you obviously have the funds to operate it and buy "put more and more and more books" ? Please distinguish between "we need a bigger library" and "we need an infinite library"! There aren't infinitely many books in the world!
2. "Eventually" is very different from "each time you buy a new book". "Eventually" we might have the books printed on demand (if anybody wants to have a dead-tree version) so it won't make sense to keep piles of them in libraries, except as museum pieces.
I remember for sure once I bought a book and didn't have to throw out anything from my library. And I don't have an infinite one. Probably you're referring to buying infinitely many books this year?
I don't know why you and your brother post focus so much on phones bought on contract! If you did so then the provider is the seller and the entity with which you have a sale contract and a telecommunications contract or 2-in-one or whatever labels or combinations they come up with. They should be the ones on the hook for making you whole, as opposed to some company from another continent with which you never had a contract to start with.
You are right, but the point still stands: once you step over a zone border (which is what I mentioned from the original post) the ticket is 5+ euro (well, if it doesn't qualify for Kurzstrecke, 1-2 stops which is for U-Bahn for example). YES, you can go a long way with 2.70 (2.80 from Sunday) for a single-zone ticket but once you're outside "the white zone" every time you step on the U-Bahn feels like you've been fined. Again, assuming you have already a car and you need to decide for a one-off trip: do I take the car or public transport.
We aren't talking about suburbs that are tens of km away from city limits, we aren't talking about gated communities for billionaires, we aren't talking about some small village in the woods that's hard to service by public transport.
Well, I don't know where you live, but I have a lot of experience in Hamburg, Stuttgart, and Munich - not exactly known as cheap cities -, and spending 5 EUR on any one-way travel in the extended inner city is nearly impossible.
Maybe your experience is outdated. Specifically if you just cross a "circle" for Munich the one-way ticket is 5.40... wait just for the next 2 days because then it goes up to 5.60, they were probably thinking it's too cheap...
Note that what they call "Inner District/Munich" is 4 circles and if you go again to the same circle you have to count it again. Like you go 2-1-2 it is 3 circles = 8.40 EUR.
I'm glad if your car does not depreciate, needs neither oil changes nor other service, is untaxed, and the insurance is free.
We're talking about people who already own cars (and how to make them use public transport instead). Extra expenses from driving 5-10km (total) are absolutely marginal while 20+ euros (for example for going 3 U-Bahn stops and back for 2 adults) aren't.
people having a car don't really care about saving a couple of euros to travel within Paris/suburbs
I don't know about France but in Germany those "few euros" quickly add up to something that looks more like a fine precisely design to discourage the use of public transportation. One-way one person is around 5 euros for anything but the shortest stretch (you can easily pay 4.65 euro even for just one stop if crossing the tariff zones). And there's no cheaper option for a return ticket so you're looking at 20 euros for a return trip for two persons. It just doesn't compare with 1 euro in gas plus 1-1.5 euro parking (if needed).
Plus no matter if there is no inflation, no matter if the prices for energy and gas drop the prices for public transportation go up like 4% each time I check...
The way it is and because of loss aversion many people consider public transport not something cheap that lacks comfort but rather some expense they wouldn't do unless they're forced (like car in the shop or they can't drive because of some medical problem, or they want to drink something, etc).
There will be extra effort for sure, you need to install the application, you need to log in with your amazon credentials (or make an account if you don't have one), probably select what you want to sync to amazon cloud, etc. They don't mention any new app developed by Amazon for this so I can only assume the existing (horrid) amazon drive windows software will be used. Also this is just cloud sync, not backup, if you overwrite a file by mistake (or some virus does it) it is good bye and thank you for all the fish.
It really doesn't seem to be more than just giving you a freebie when buying some product, which isn't in any way new. Seagate portable drives and some Samsung phones come with something like 200GB OneDrive space.
I helped a friend install a new computer and then after all was fine he started to lose the telephony (which looks for the customer like PSTN but is voip over Telekom's router), the DNS (which was by default served from the same router) and ultimately all internet connectivity. After reboot it would work again for 10-20 minutes then start to lose it gradually. I guess it could be some kind of DoS.
It took us quite a while to actually google and find there's a big outage going on. All the while the friend insisted it's the new computer's fault (even after we disconnected it), no there are no such coincidences...
I didn't have any issue even if I'm in the same area (and with Telekom) but of course I'm not using their PoS router.
I do like the current trend of getting more and more display real-estate on the same phone, I really do. Plus getting the buttons outside the screen, Samsung is on the right track here.
BUT the fact that there is so little give means you can break your 600$/EUR phone just with a drop from the nightstand. Plus it's harder to hold it properly without touching the screen. I haven't had a phone with a case since pre-iPhone era, when Windows Mobile PDAs with large displays would crack even without while looking at them. It was all fine with 2010-2015 phones, stairs or concrete drops would just leave some small marks but nothing special. Now I've seen with the new S6/S67s so many cracked displays AND/or backs (glass back, really?!) that I had to think better and go back to using a case. And that defeats the whole purpose.
Just google "raw usb aniversary" (sorry, I had the link from one of MS pages confirming it and recommending not to upgrade and not to mess with your disks but I can't find it anymore).
This is particularly scary as people might destroy their data while "recovering" it. Also from backup drives...
We already have this scourge which I couldn't manage to disable in Whatsapp. Instead of just getting a text that would comfortably fit in a line on a mobile, never mind a ~160-character SMS I have to scramble to get some headphones, download the audio and listen for two minutes (that feel like two days) for something like "hi, what's up, errr, hhmmmm, hi, please do that" or "you forgot that".

What about headphones with batteries?

I'm surprised they don't learn. Spreading brand confusion worked so well with Windows RT and with Windows Mobile->Phone->Mobile-> "just Windows"
... too.
If you don't believe me just visit for example: https://www.microsoft.com/en/m...
So we really have now for a while many Snapdragon products running Windows 10. Is just not the Windows 10 that's hard to run...
I don't know what the marketing apes were thinking.

What's sad is that there are probably people in their 60s that could say the same...
And wait because we're due for another 20 years extension...

They should be forced to reimburse you the full price of the item they damaged. That will teach them. Oh wait...

Like any human would think about milk or "open reminders" when hearing "Show me my most at-risk opportunities".
Isn't there some penalty (preferably disproportionately large to discourage such behavior) for trying to take down what shouldn't be taken down?
