It's not just Microsoft, it's anyone who rents content to you. Had an interesting discussion with a friend a few months ago where he talked about all the content he'd bought from a well-known streaming service. I corrected him to tell him he'd rented it, not bought it. Even after multiple iterations of explanation, he still couldn't quite grasp that since it was held on someone else's servers and they could change their ToS any time they felt like it, all of his content was rented, not bought.
Silly thing was he'd actually already been burned by this service when they decided to withdraw access to content he'd paid for. I've not got it via BT, which doesn't have these problems. Arguably it's OK since he's paid for it, he just had to go to an illegal pirate site to get the copy he legally paid for.
It's not even "your engineer should be telling you", it's "go look up industrial PCs and cases and decide which one fits your needs". This shouldn't even be on Slashdot, it's standard commercial gear you can get from any number of vendors, you just need to find whatever matches your requirements.
The PC maker has released a new version of its Live Update software for laptops that addresses the ShadowHammer backdoor attack. It also promised "multiple security verification mechanisms" to reduce the chances of further attacks, and started using an "enhanced end-to-end encryption mechanism."
The new security measures include the software promising, scout's honour, cross my fingers and hope to die, that it really, really isn't malware. Asus have announced that you can now fully trust it, since no malware would pass that test.
While I like poking fun at YT morons, in this case it's just a case of "standard thing happens + Internet = Breaking News!!!!". There have been youth gangs in Berlin beating each other up about nothing much for at least a hundred years, and in fact it's calmed down a lot since the 1920s when there were literal street battles with people being killed in the fighting, e.g. KPD vs. SA. So this is business as usual, but only the addition of the Internet makes it newsworthy.
Social media has a lot to answer for, but in this case it's a red herring.
I use Waterfox, which is basically Firefox without all the Mozilla crapification of the last few years. Tried Pale Moon but it was always a long way behind Firefox in terms of bugfixes, I rediscovered years-old bugs in it, while Waterfox seems to be Firefox as it should be.
This is Shitney Blowes we're talking about here. If you think their map-making is bad, wait'll you experience their logistics. Hint: They're the cretins behind eBay's Global Shipping Program.
It's so weird that we all successfully exchanged useful technical information on slashdot, and in 2019! Cheers!
Yeah, sorry, I'm not from the US so I don't know how to start the Dems/GOP/Trump/Obama shitfest that every single Slashdot discussion degenerates into. Maybe someone else can get it going...
Will they also add an uninstaller for the reinstaller of the uninstaller of the updater? If they can't get the update right, why should we trust them to get the uninstall of the update right, which triples the number of failure points, the install, the uninstall, and being able to roll back to the previous state.
Or install AutoHotkeys, which gives you full scripting/macro control over any hotkey set you want. The built-in Windows stuff is primitive by comparison. Plus, Microsoft will probably have change it at random several times by the time you've read this.
I called the number. Got a guy with an Indian accent telling me he worked for Microsoft and there was something wrong with my computer, and he needed remote access to it in order to fix it. What should I do?

The upshot is that anandamide, a natural cannabinoid, builds up in the system
I knew a guy who had lots of natural cannabinoids in his system most of the time. He was pretty FAAH-OUT too.

Dude, that's a bit mean :-).

That's because the Imperial Cafeteria was serving burritos that day and there were... certain side-effects.
None of this woosy pushing and shoving they do today.

Couldn't the police have sat back and livestreamed this bunch of idiots beating each other up on Youtube?

Can't imagine why this is less newsworthy...
It's based on worms, if course there's going to be wiggle room.

Hey, messing with undersea cables is exclusively a US domain. Even then potential threat of China getting in on it has to be stomped on hard, only the US is allowed do that.
I was wondering whether you could get one to fit Trump's mouth, but then I remembered that it's his tiny hands that you'd really want to shut up.
Because they're Swiss, the next step will be to fix it.
Naah, the next step will be to sell it in different grades: Emmenthaler voting software, Appenzeller voting software, ...

It's not that complicated, here's John Oliver explaining the process.

Don't worry, it'll be gone in the next update, as soon as they figure out how to break the Alt-Tab thing.
