Not that I care, as I do not own any apple stuff, but I have not seen a bluetooth headset that was not absolute shit.
I had a phone earpeice thing from plantronics that was worse than simply using the speakerphone in the car. When the thing would actually stay connected the speaker was inaudible. When I could hear the other side, my mic would not pick up.
Bought some LG headphones, failed within 2 months. And in those 2 months it was nearly impossible to get the things to stay connected. Press the connect button, beeps loudly, searches for phone, gives up. Bought earbuds, returned the next day. Worthless.
Don't sync your devices to untrusted devices. Same as don't stick an unknown usb drive into your computer.
Though this warning is useful since most normal users may not be aware of the security risk. The ignorance of security is the same ignorance that will cause people to ignore this warning, naturally.
It should be called "H-1B'd" considering how many of these failure stories involve companies who fraudulently claim no Americans are available to work, then fraudulently import workers for their sweatshops.
They lobbied it to be "no Americans would accept our working conditions".
I think the problem is that they didn't know what it was either. Typical of bubble-age startups. From the article it looks like VCs have learned a thing or two since the last bubble.
He asked us to write down our bank accounts and routing numbers.
Say goodbye to the contents of your bank account. Those are the only things someone needs to write bad checks against your account. The check does not even need to have your name on it.
Someone that is going to commit fraud and fake a bank authorization is certainly not above draining your bank account.
Like CXX level managers are going to bother with that stuff. If everything isn't as dumbed down for them easy enough to be used by a toddler, its the IT manager's head that will roll.
But if you know about computer security you already know this.
Yeah, that's it. Keep telling yourself that Gawker is the victim. Just double-down every time you get called out on your bullshit. If it works for Social Justice, it will work for you. (it doesn't work)
So it is ok to shame people like Hogan and Thiel because they are jerks? Who gets to determine who is a jerk and who is not? The people doing the shaming? Got it.
How is this any different from "fine of the amount of money your company would make in 100 days"?
And if the company gets to continue on as if nothing happened, did the fine actually affect anything? The only way Gawker was going to stop is asshattery was to sue them out of existence.

Was it really that good if it died? Or did it have a long life (by electronics standards)?

Bluetooth audio is complete garbage.
Apple's power connector.

Yes. That's why my next phone is likely to be a Nexus.
No, it won't.

The music made it impossible to take this seriously.
PEBKAC will always be the biggest issue in IT.

Now that is a heck of a nice read. I am going to have to spend some time with this.
Reminds me of Atomic Rockets.
What a sad and grey world you live in where everyone that dares to look up and dream is a "space nutter" to be ignored.
I bet you say libtard a lot too. Got to have those labels you can slap on people so you can ignore them and make sure their ideas don't infect you.
Things that disagree with you are offensive? Got it.
I guess, but then why not have the more measurable effect of a direct fine?
very rare gas
Uhh... even on Earth it isnt that rare, otherwise we would not be putting it in party balloons.
And, I bet it costs more to purify and liquefy the helium for MRI machines than it does for the gas itself.
It's a craft, it goes it the air, therefore...
What's the difference between the Hindenburg and Rush Limbaugh?
One is a huge Nazi gasbag, the other is an Airship.
Which means the winning side runs up legal fees until the loser goes right out of business.
There needs to be some middle ground between the current system and loser pays.
My bet: There will be a trading market for litigation cases.
If there is not already one.
Yeah, that's it. Keep telling yourself that Gawker is the victim. Just double-down every time you get called out on your bullshit. If it works for Social Justice, it will work for you. (it doesn't work)

Just count how many times they post vauge statuses and lyrics from 80's songs.
Yeah, its where "about to" = "maybe 50 years off".
Though I can see this actually happening.
