I use freshplayerplugin to run pepperflash in PaleMoon. It gives me a better interface to VMware vCenter than Chrome, because I can set the an external application to open VM consoles in VMplayer. Chrome insists on opening them as additional flash windows. The flash console windows don't pass CTRL-C and other such characters.
This report is based on too little data to mean anything, nor draw any conclusions. On page 1 of the pdf, "http://www.chinalaborwatch.org/upfile/2016_08_23/Pegatron-report%20FlAug.pdf", the report says "Pegatron is one of Apple’s major suppliers, employing almost one hundred thousand workers in Mainland China". Most of the numbers in the report are based on paystub data. However, on page 5, there is a table showing how many paystubs they analysed. Over 10 months, they collected 2015 paystubs. One month, Jun 2015, they got only 4 paystubs. The peak was 1064 in Oct 2015. The average number of paystubs they got per month was 202. That is only 0.20 % of the workforce. That is not enough data to be a worthwhile statistical universe.
I have no doubt Apple is pressuring them to reduce costs. Conditions there might well be awful. However, I can't tell one way or the other from this study, because it's statistics are insufficient.
I use Adguard on android, "https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html". It functions as a VPN, so it can block ads even on mobile data. Some of the premium features require buying a license. The biggest problems I have are it sometimes interferes with sending and receiving texts, and I have to temporarily disable it to use my work vpn. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6 connected to AT&T.
I've been using Palemoon for a while now. It's a fork of Firefox from before they decided to copy Chrome's interface (but make it worse). It added a lot of the customization features back in that Firefox had been deleting. All of the about:config stuff works too. I've heard good things about Vivaldi. Slimjim looks interesting.
Storage Spaces first appeared in Win 8. It was a rewrite of Drive Extender from Windows Home Server. It's sort of like Linux's LVM. SS doesn't have as much functionality, but it's easier to use.
I find turtl's ideas very interesting. I really love the client side encryption. However, the implementation seems to need work. It seems to only support text notes, with limited formatting. That's almost always ok, but it would be nice to include a photo (for example of a whiteboard diagram). On my linux desktops, it leaks memory, and leaves a background daemon running (until it runs out of memory and crashes). On android, it's very slow to start up, and leaves a background process running that's hard to kill (though nowhere near as bad as facebook).
The iphone headphone jack is also the external microphone port. Eliminating the jack would make it impossible to insert a "dummy" plug to disable the microphone. This may matter to some of the more paranoid users.
The article said "Pressuring (80kPa) at 170C for 20min establishes cold-welding, i.e., bonding and an electrical connection, between the bottom electrode of the microcells and the substrate electrode while melting the PR over the solar microcells, as illustrated in Fig. 1(c)." 170 C is very hot for a human, but very cold for a welding process.
From the article, these are composed of thousands of GaAS micro-cells. Each cell is about 15% efficent. However, they appear to be spaced far enough apart to cover only about 1/4 of the area. That makes the array 3.75% efficent at best. Maybe future work can move them closer together.
It would also make it easier to apply them to curved surfaces, ie car roofs. From the article, they've tested bending them up to 1000 times, so I doubt they would hold up long on something that bends as often as clothing.
I love my Chromecast for little things, like youtube videos. It's a little limiting for entire movies, mostly because I have to unlock my phone to pause.
DLNA annoys me due to the transcoding cpu load on my server.
I had to make an MS account just to log into HealthVault, and get my LabCorp test results. They claim they also take OpenID, but they only accept OpenID accounts created by MS, and they're not accepting new accounts...
I expect them to spend $2000 on a set of 4TB external usb hard drives, and have three employees (one per shift) rotate them between three systems: inside, AV, and outside. That's going to be orders of magnitude cheaper than cleaning up after these infections, or getting layer 7 firewalls for everything. It will require some coding to automate all the transfers, but it's worth it.
Some employees will need two desktops, inside and outside.
Airgap seems like an excellent place to start. Date does need to come in and out, but you could limit it to usb drives that are virus scanned before being reconnected to the internal network. It would be a nusance, but less so than these infections.
In the movie, the alien used connections to a tree to power his transmitter to phone home. It's nice to see some confirmation that the idea isn't entirely fantasy.
A tipsy person could just tell their car to take them home.
It would also help with parking. I could go to a meeting, restaurant, club, etc, get out in front of the place, and tell my car to go find a place to park. When I was ready to leave, I could call it on my cell phone, and tell it to come get me.
These could be nice in appliances, ie routers, switches, NASs, etc. I can't see them being too useful in normal servers, since they're ARM, not intel, and have a relatively low clock rate (1.7 to 2.0 GHz).
I wonder if the plants are brown due to herbicides sprayed to prevent trees and brush growing. They would represent a fire risk, in the event of a short. They would block maintenance access. If they got tall enough, they could block light to the panels.
We looked into them for our data center UPS refurb. They were expensive, didn't store nearly as much energy as batteries, and were dangerous. If anything goes wrong with the bearing, you have a several hundred pound disk spinning at several thousand rpm trying to fly out through the wall of the building. Our lawyers would have had us build a concrete containment wall.
I heard pumping water back up the dam into the lake caused issues downriver for irrigation, drinking water, etc. I also heard there were issues with it killing fish?

Duck calls are very popular. They even inspired a TV show. https://www.amazon.com/Duck-Commander-Camo-Max-Call/dp/B001BA527O

So many things in our lives are computer controlled that there are lots of cases where bad software can be physically dangerous.
Volkswagon diesel cars, hospital computer networks, automated pharmacy dispening systems, industrial robots, elevators, bluetooth electric scateboards, etc.

Yes. They omitted the diesel exhaust fluid (urea) injection system. I heard it saved about $400 per car.
If different batteries are used for different purposes, can I remove the one that plays ads?
