I assigned one of the buttons on my mouse to mute/unmute. Simce the last thing I probably did was click a link, my hand is already there and it's mutted in a fraction of a second. Works great for Youtube ads where by the time you muted using "normal" controls, you'd have already watched enough of the ad to skip it. Most of your modern mouses come with software to reassign a button to "mute" or one of many other functions.
It'd be nice if Google played by the same rules as they want others to. Instead they've banned anyone presenting a positive view of guns from receiving any advertising money.

I wish I could support Google on this one, but they're digging their own grave.
I use their Android app and don't have any of these issues. In fact I consider it the best reader for technical/math books that I've used as it doesn't screw up the formatting as much as others. Maybe you need to upgrade the app, users from more than 2 years ago are the only ones allowed to use their older app. The new one is Safari Queue
Well, the bill isn't something I like, but compared to how much I've learned since subscibing I'm really hlad I did. I subscribed to Pact's much cheaper service before that and liked it so much I "upgraded" to Safari. Before that, I used the Kindle, but math equations are handled so poorly on it, I found it unusable for anything programming related. And I find I read a lot more useful stuff if I can examine the whole book without committing to buy it. And it doesn't bother me if I'm only interested in one or two chapters.
Overall the dots don't really prove any wrongdoing. Just because someone printed it, doesn't mean they're the one who took it and mailed it to someone who shouldn't have it.
The point of periodic password changes is to protect against an *UNKNOWN* breach.
This might make sense for things like e-mail or on-line banking passwords, but it's useless for an actual systems breach. If someone gets access to a system, it's far too easy to add a backdoor that will allow them in forever. Unfortunately the only way to recover from an unknown breach is to not have one in the first place.
Walmart 2-day shipping is a lie. There. That is the difference. When you order from Amazon with a two-day delivery, you can reasonably expect Amazon will hit that goal, pretty much all the time.
I haven't ordered anything from Walmart, so I can't disagree. But when the last 5 out of 5 Amazon Prime shipments arrived late, that was the end of my Prime membership. I usually buy things off of Ebay, and the last Prime items I bought from Amazon were all available from Ebay significantly cheaper, I paid more because I actually needed them quickly. Now I just assume all fast shipping times are a lie.
Since Google and the carriers record everything I do and are willing to sell it to anyone with a big enough pocketbook, it's hard to say I'm "protected" by having an up to date phone. My only real hope is to never patch and hope to root it some day so that I can actually protect it myself.
Switching over to daylight saving time, and losing one hour of sleep, raised the risk of having a heart attack the following Monday by 25 percent, compared to other Mondays during the year, according to a new U.S. study released on Saturday.
And this could easily be explained by people being more active outdoors with the extra hour of sunlight. All of the other people who were more active, who didn't have heart attacks, actually reduced their overall risk of any type of heart disease, but not for any given day. Getting a full picture will require a great amount of research. Focusing on a single study with only four data points highlighted in a biased article is not going to convince anyone who doesn't already want to believe.
it's kind of useless to have all that expensive gear in my car if no one else does
No need for it to be expensive. Search for Bluetooth ODBII Adapter. You can get one for $5 that transmits all of the needed info, and a lot more that you couldn't care less to know. Get an app for tour phone and be entertained for hours.
Try Notepad++. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ It's a good, free, lightweight programmer's editor, in the style of Notepad.
Yep. I use notepad++ on pretty much every machine I work on, usually as a general text editor. And Sublime for actual programming.
The difference is having on installed by default, like Powershell is. Sure I can install python, perl, or whatever. But there's a big difference in having something that's the same for everyone performing a similar task.
I can only assume this is Microsoft's final attempt at killing off the command line. So much for hoping one day they'd actually provide a usable one.
If they really wanted to provide an enhanced, programmable shell, then provding a good, lightweight programmer's editor would be the first step. As it stands, Notepad doesn't even recognize Unix style line endings.
The question is obviously whether a data feed added by the user is "commercial use"
The TFA is pretty one sided, only containing a partial quote of an email supplied by someone arguing against it. My bet is this is more about feeds added to an app by default. This would align with their claim that the maker of the app (or whoever provided the url)has visited their website and agreed with their TOS, as stated in the email.
I would imagine the courts would eventually side with app makers. But CBC does have a valid argument.
Ah, this change is aimed at helping developers make more money. So I guess that means figuring out the permissions will just get harder, and I'll be visiting the Play store even less than I do now.
I've been a Prime member since shortly after it started. Laley though, most packages arrive late. And they're no longer as competitive on price for small ticket (cheap) items. They still seem to be competitive on big ticket itmes, and even ship them on time, but I buy those seldom enough that Prime doesn't pay for itself.
Not surprising. Dig into some of the emails and you will find discussions among DNC staffers about various articles they have received from journalists for approval before they are submitted to their editors! The media is complicit and circling the wagons around their own.
2. Horrid permission requirements. Granted, most people don't even give a fuck
I wouldn't say people don't care, it's just that Google and Apple make it too difficult to find apps that don't require unnessesary permissions. There have been many times I've been searching for a simple app (like sun/moon rise times, weather, tap and drill chart, etc) where I found it faster to just write my own than to try to find one that wasn't spyware.
I can see how the lay person would think AI is getting better by leaps and bounds because it's becoming more common. But things like self driving cars date back at least to the 1950's. And the main idea behind it (epipolar geometry) predates computers. They're just now becoming more practical and affordable due to Moore's law. And the recent accident caused by Google's car merging into traffic shows they're still not that good at it, usually driving much slower than all other traffic, and yielding the right of way at all times. If all cars on the road behaved that way, there'd be a lot more problems, maybe not wrecks, but a lot more congestion and much longer travel times.
So, it might look like AI is getting better just because things like assisted driving are becoming more popular, and at some point might actually affect jobs where people are paid to drive. But any other jobs that would benefit from automation using AI were likely replaced long ago because the cost of paying someone $30k/yr likely exceeded the cost of automation way before Moore's law brought it down to today's level.
Science doesn't operate on consensus. Science operates on the scientific method, hypotheses, theories, and laws. We don't advance science by taking votes on which hypothesis or theory is correct.
Which is fine because this study isn't about declaring global warming as true or false. It's about applying the scientific method to determine if a consensus exists.
Apple could have a point that using third party hardware can compromise security.
"Security" would be a good reason to not trust a third party component and refuse to all that piece to opperate. But "security" is not an excuse for bricking an entire device, even the parts that haven't been altered, months after the other alteration was done. If someone is going through the trouble to replace the fingerprint scanner to access data on the phone, the damage would be done long before the device would be bricked. This is about making money, plain and simple.

Just curious if they're the same person, or if there's a different person getting their hair brained ideas posted here for no reason.
Indeed if it had not been for the gun it would probably have done this with fewer people dying.
The question is, what is the most influential, not the most beneficial.
Pointing a gun at someone can be very influential.
