It's actually just a registry flag for the software. For a normal consumer though? That's rough. As said below, someone loses one of the cds or dvds... or the USB drive gets lost/overwritten etc.
One backup in one location is not enough. If it was an online backup, perhaps. And I guess you could be smart and just make an iso out of the dvd and save, but it's one more step that just lends itself to not being done by a consumer.
I honestly think there should be some way for the manufacturers to provide the images as a value add in either a support contract or as a one time support charge.
HP is even more fun with this. they'll let you back up to either a USB stick or a set of CDs ONCE. Then lock you out from ever backing up that partition again.
There are ways around this, but it's still annoying.
Exactly this. I ride a motorcycle from time to time - usually on the weekends for recreation, but occasionally to work. When taking the car, I'd much rather have a car that handles the commute for me. I could re-gain 2 hours of work or relaxation.
In order to charge a battery, the charger needs to provide higher voltage to put in current - otherwise, no charging occurs. Even with a "separate" loop, you'll have a higher potential (voltage) at the terminals when charging/plugged in; ergo a higher voltage provided to the phone even if the battery is degraded. This higher voltage will be slightly higher than the peak nominal voltage of a "fresh" battery, so it should trigger higher performance if the phone is just looking at a simple voltage state.
Agreed. I have a two way commute distance of 80 miles today. A Leaf or e-Golf leaves me no breathing room at the end of the day, especially in the midwest winters.
I think they're also talking about the validation of the source - i.e. the man in the middle attack isn't just accepting the connection it's making on the client's behalf that it's own connection to the server is actually secure in and of itself.
You said it better than I did; this is actually the point I was trying to make.
So many jump the gun and say "NO, NO REASON TO SPOOF" but I gave a legitimate reason for non-robo-calls to be "spoofed" yet owned by the company that is calling.
There is a reason for businesses to spoof a number.
Let's say I own Bob's National Grocery chain. My internal number is 888-555-1555. When I dial out, for privacy reasons, my number shows as the internal switchboard number - 888-555-2627 ("bobs" lol). This should not be a problem, as (1) my company owns this number and (2) it is answered. The issues here are two fold:
1. How do you determine the number I am advertising is mine? The answer here is simple - for numbers I advertise out from my phone switch, I must own these from the phone company I am peering with (first hop) or have some way to prove that I own those DIDs if I have multiple peering companies. Not a difficult hurdle to overcome. 2. How do you determine the number I am advertising (assuming step #1 is valid) is a valid company or answered number? In the case of robocalls or spam, my company could prove I own a block - satisfying #1 above, but turn out to be a voicemail box that's full or a non-company-answered blank DID.
About 15 years ago, I played around with a company owned phone switch setup and found that ANY number I put to advertise outbound was picked up and relayed to the target's caller id. I made a few test calls to my cell phone to validate that this was possible and then promptly reverted back to the company's owned block.
One of the groups that does a good job on this is Motogp.com - you can purchase a season subscription, about $100 USD and you get access to all races and footage past and present - and NO commercials.
I was originally watching it on FS1 and then this past season BEIN took over. I thought - well, if I'm going to pay $10 a month for BEIN on my cable plan, I may as well stream - and I'm glad I do, because with a sport like motorcycle racing, the commercial timeouts were not true race timeouts - and the local company would effectively cause me to miss parts of the race that may or may not have good footage.
US sports wouldn't benefit much from streaming (still have TV timeouts etc) so the advertising could still be there, if they would just make the streaming free or reasonable for those who don't want to subscribe to the massive amounts of cable channels packaged today.

A courageous cult.
"watch YouTube at a 7-8" display resolution"
Sure, but can it do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?
I always wondered why the time got shifted so badly when on battery backup.

Well, we could just remove the batt... oh wait.

Even when I had dial up, I had a local file server that I wanted fast access to.
Was this a Rick and Morty reference lol
Why would I buy another HP if they refused to help once? Plenty of fish in the sea (not that there might be a better option...)

Thank $diety they're not detecting fake old!

It's a two pronged issue.
Gotta have a new word for a more cromulent experience!

Maybe the headphone jack could be added back in with all the space savings! It's innovative!
Cowon's players support FLAC. I still use a D2 at work with a 32GB sd card full of FLAC; wolfson DAC onboard.
