What benefit does LTE bring over just pairing to your phone?
The ability to *not* bringing your phone, for one.
That being said, I'm not surprised to hear about this, and would hope for some "trickle-down" in the fix. I run with a Series 1 Apple watch, and every time a misconfigured automobile searching for a bluetooth buddy drives by, I get glitches in music playback. It would be nice if the watch would reject all unsolicited connections.
This is probably woefully out of date... back in the 3GS days if you did a backup via itunes, and selected encrypted, as far as I know it created a full image of the phone, apps, random settings, cache files, everything. If that is still around - read somewhere that itunes is going music only - it might work.
In what way did the "coders do a shitty job"? The code seemed to be working as designed.
Allowing placement of any ad based on a keyword hit that includes "hate" is just unethical. I'm sure "Facebook hater" was already blocked from generating an ad.
Of course, the right thing for Apple to do would have been to completely replace the proprietary lightning connectors with the standard USB-C connectors on all of their new device models going forward, but alas, shareholders gotta eat.
Call me when the USB-C connector supports Audio Line-out. Until then, please keep counterproductive opinions to yourself.
Because the author of the article is a complete tool who has never considered looking ad the advanced options available to him. Even Winamp (his poster child in this whine/rant) is fully configurable from the command line.
Here's a hint: just google the phrase "(software name) CLI."
Channels still arrive, over the you know, airwaves. I get over 100 free channels in Houston (not being fluent in Spanish or Vietnamese, however, I can only take advantage of half of them).
Aucocomplete *and* auto-correct. My first name is also a word in English. My email address is my first name and last initial. I had to "train" MacOS to stop dropping that initial when I typed out my email address. the OP's problem could be just this simple. TFA says the gmail address is lastname@gmail.com. Let's say that's a name that also happens to be a word, like smith. This problem could be generated by DOZENS of different people not catching on that their OS has "fixed" their typing. (psmith@gmail.com, ssmith@gmail.com, smithh@gmail.com...)
And you can lead your rifle well enough to hit the engine of a drone in flight? Again, as TFA states, the advantage of this weapon is instantaneous delivery. If you can put an optical sight on the target, there is no need for calculations to predict its trajectory for future arrival of a bullet.

Not so fast. One reason that electronics are less reliable now? Dendrites (tin whiskers) causing shorts. The cause of tin whiskers? The EU's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) law that prohibits lead (Plumbum) in solder. 5% Pb leads to a huge jump in reliability, but also a huge jump in toxins in manufacturing and landfills. Everything is a trade-off.
Legal mumbo-jumbo aside, Zillow clearly does not understand the definition of parody, or its protected status.
may "[interfere] with Zillow's business expectations and interests."
Precisely! that's what parody and sarcasm do. Make the underlying absurdity more apparent and obvious. These houses are ridiculous. Blogger is protected by the US constitution in calling them ridiculous.
Bullshit. Look at the BBC as a counterexample. And if you don't know who Disney is you're a moron.
But that's the kind of data we trailing Boomers have no problem tracking. When we were kids/teens, all Disney-related programming was on NBC. Now it's ABC. What's so tough about that?
Don't be an arsehole with the "CXX" not being "Staff". If you work for the company, you are simply staff / employees. You know exactly what he meant.
Quite possibly not. I work for a medium-tech company that gives all sorts of authority to the IT and Procurement organizations. Unfortunately, all of the accountability is assigned to the Science and Engineering teams. Not having to be responsible for their own f@ck-ups has created a culture where these groups work without oversight, and project managers have to pad schedules about 40% for the inevitable "you wanted a cable--what's wrong with this perfectly good rope I ordered?" moments.
Just a scare to get you to spend money on something you don't need. I just watched some VHS tapes I recorded (EP Mode) in the summer of 1994, and they're fine, I've got audio cassettes recorded a decade earlier that sound the same as the day I recorded them (and in at least one case, better than the digital download of the same radio show via iTunes).
No one is complaining about post-op transsexuals here. It's not about " transgender". It's about a penis in the vagina room.
Just what do you think "post-op transsexuals" means, exactly? Post-op, a large fraction of transgender men have a penis. Legislating that these folks use the restroom of the (female) gender listed on their birth certificate FORCES the exact "penis in the vagina room" scenario you're dreading.
The burden of proof rests with the proposal, so you can reject out of hand the premise, "We don't know, therefore aliens."
You act as though this premise were pulled from thin air. It was theorized *after*comparison with all previously-observed and postulated natural phenomena, and does not match any of those. Determining whether it is the result of an intelligence is the next natural set of tests to try.
... AFAICT, the only two human white guys in the cast are an Academy cadet and a science officer, and they've already announced that the science officer will be gay.
The word is that Rainn Wilson is playing Harry Mudd.
Thanks. Terry Serpico alone turns it into a non-watcher. I forgot how awful he is until he appeared again on "Designated Survivor." Sure, he could do a mirror-universe Anthony Michael Hall, but that's it.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Allowing placement of any ad based on a keyword hit that includes "hate" is just unethical.
So my ads based on the phrase "I hate housework!" should be prohibited?
They certainly shouldn't be automatically generated.
This is probably woefully out of date... back in the 3GS days if you did a backup via itunes, and selected encrypted, as far as I know it created a full image of the phone, apps, random settings, cache files, everything.

That was for local storage, not cloud.

Studies have shown that people (especially men) are more likely to listen to a female voice. Even fighter jet pilots get directions from women.
Woman with an Australian accent, please. And her name is Gigi.

Finally! somebody gets it--there is no legitimate reason for this database to have any connection to the Internet whatsoever.

That's not exactly a "landslide" victory. Why not just make it user-configurable?
I thought the punch line was "fruit flies like a banana."

the environment is better off,

So ... what's the next ridiculous craze that I should work to prevent my daughter from getting into?
Saw a teen playing with a yo-yo (the original fidget toy) a few weeks back. Might be a one-off, or possibly a trend?
Your brush is too broad. If you're a sysadmin, they're absolutely your customers. If you're a developer on a product team, they're your colleagues.
