There is no real difference in my mind between starting the "upgrade" on Windows' own volition or offering the "upgrade" to the user so many times and in so different ways as to make it practically sure that he or she will accept it by mistake.
This is pretty much what happened to me. Surfing the web, the "wanna install win10?" popup appeared with the evil button right over the link I was in the process of clicking. Once the install started I didn't know how to stop it without borking my computer, and once it finished I wasn't aware I had 30 days to go back to my earlier version.
wanna tell me again why it's wrong of me to run an ad-blocker? Try to use bigger words this time, cuz when you use the smaller ones I understand 100% what you're telling me and my Deja-Moo detector goes off.
Deja-Moo - that feeling you've heard this bull before.
It's Qualcomm's top of the line chip. I don't know what they sell for but my WAG would be at least $20. Kinda hard to justify spending $20 on a CPU for your IoT device you plan to sell for $100.
Last time I wrote a driver (PCI) we were deciding if we wanted to stick with 2.2 or upgrade to the new fangled 2.4 kernel. Last time I dug into the kernel guts (our hardware was really slow for some reason) 2.4 was still considered new.
I'm just a user now using Linux to write software for embedded systems.
Stand your ground laws significantly increase firearms deaths? Really? First, I doubt it causes that much of an increase. Second, whatever increase it does cause is IMHO to the benefit of society. Third, if you read TFA it says no such thing.
you be sure to upgrade your machine back to Win 7/8 within that 30 day limit. Win10 is flakey, and getting flakier. Not talking about metro, the telemetry, the midnight reboots when your laptop is closed. I'm talking just weird little things that happen randomly, like you hit the back button in your browser and the browser minimizes to the task bar, or click 'Reply' in email and the window goes full screen. Never repeatable, never consistent, took me a couple weeks to decide that no, I wasn't hitting the wrong thing by mistake.
Seems to get a little worse with every "update" they install.
I use a laptop. I like my laptop in my lap, my mouse movements probably have 2-3 patterns (just got up, working on the first coffee, been up a while). Then my cat discovers my lap and the laptop moves to some combination of my right leg (stupid cat insists my left leg is the only one worth sleeping on) and my right armchair leg. It changes every time the cat jumps up, as I'm reminded every time I use fingerprint recognition to login.
When in the office, did I ride my bike to work or drive? Cafeteria opens at 8, have I had breakfast yet or not? Did I push myself climbing Lusk or just put my head down and grind? Did I drink too much last night and drove like grandma, or drive like normal?
And yeah, in my web browsers JS is disabled by default, ads are blocked, and Java isn't installed.
Thursday afternoon my network went away. Farted around with it, then it spontaneously rebooted. When it came back up it gave the infamous "installing updates, please wait". Did another reboot or two, 20 minutes later I was back in business.
It farked some of my chrome settings, and went back to Edge for PDF viewing. Other than that haven't noticed any other problems.
To be honest, I wish I'd never "upgraded" to Win10. It's prolly the biggest pain in the ass I've ever run. Nothing major, except for the "I'll reboot when I want to, sod off", but lots of little problems.
Either indict her now, or tell the world you don't intend to. Waiting until Sep/Oct to announce an indictment is flat out screwing the dems, leaving them with no viable candidate for the few weeks leading up to the election.
FWIW, I think she should be rotting in a jail cell now due to her mishandling of classified material. I say that as someone who has had a clearance in the past. I know the rules, I know the penalties, I know my ass would be in jail had I done half what she did.
My understanding is IBM is rapidly shrinking it's American workforce and replacing those folks with H1-Bs from India. They are not only losing years of knowledge, they are replacing it with people who barely speak english.
What sucks for them is that not only do customers realize they're getting shafted, but the quarterly income, which management uses to base their rediculous end of year bonus, both suck ass.
A poop transplant is used to replace the bacteria in someone's gut. Start with a heavy dose of antibiotics to kill what's there already. Then you take a pill containing someone else's poop to start a new biome. Mary Roach's Gulp has a chapter on it, and the whole book is a blast to read.
If a rogue wave is heading my way I think the last thing I'd want to do is abandon ship. Even with those self-contained lifeboats, unless you have a 4 point harness the tossing around is liable to kill you.
When I first heard about it last Nov/Dec, my first few thoughts where "wow, that's a lot of gas". "They don't plan to cap it for 6 months? wtf?". "Dang, must be costing them a lot of money to relocate all those households", and "dang, the company just doesn't seem to care".
Then the media picked up on it, and suddenly the company decided "uh oh, this is really bad PR for us we better fix it".
Kinda eye-opening how they didn't really give a shit until the media picked it up. That's a lot of lost gas, and a lot of affected people, and a ton of bad PR.
By putting substantial effort into it, I've been able to get almost completely away from Windows (haven't booted my Win 8.1 partition in at least a month).
I've got an ARM cross compiler and JTAG debugger, neither runs under Linux. Those are the only 2 programs I use that won't run under Linux. Unfortunately, those are the 2 programs the money tree grows from.
I usually hate class action lawsuits, but as a Win10 user I'm getting sick of this crap. Between the spying, excuse me, "telemetry", the reboots in the middle of the night with the laptop closed, to resetting all my app associations, it's just a fucking joke. I don't believe for a second the app associate reset is a "bug", or a "glitch". It's something Microsoft is trying to sneak past us hoping that, if they do it enough times, we'll give up and use their app instead of the one we want.
Don't tell me to run Linux. I do run Linux. I also need my laptop for things Linux won't run.
Not this shit again. I pay taxes on top of taxes. License fees, registration fees, gas tax, sales tax, income tax, excise tax, etc etc etc.
One thing these taxes pay for are the roads I use to get to work, and the parking I use to do my shopping. If I neither earn nor spend money then maybe we're in your idea of nirvana, but not mine.
Have a special version of iOS that secretly has a backdoor. Record the conversations of politicians. Then start to anonymously trickle the most embarrassing ones out, while releasing an update to iOS that removes the backdoor.

Therefore I reject it. / why isn't she rotting in jail instead of running for prez?

Hmm, ads possibly serving malware, or cat vidz. decisions decisions.

Don't forget the games that used white noise to generate a soundtrack. Tune a radio to an unused station, fire up your game, and voila! Sound!

The right way to ask it is "Do you think Apple should help the FBI, even though it helps Russian hackers get into your phone?"
That might change a few people's minds.

It's the 3rd or 4th time the FCC has done this. So far, cable companies 4, consumer 0, FCC ???
