  1. Logical following Sandisk on Toshiba Will Spin Off Some Of Its Memory Business (computerworld.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Given that WD had acquired Sandisk a while ago, which sources their NAND flash from Toshiba, this decision certainly makes sense, and helps bring inhouse WD's supply for both Sandisk as well as their own SSDs

    Yeah, it was. However, everybody used their own PC, not any company's, so using Enterprise was largely out of the question

    If it was a Muslim ban, how are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Malaysia not on that list - along w/ a mechanism in US consulates in India to deny Muslims any visas?

    It's a start but Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Turkey shouldn't have been left out of the list. San Bernardino - after which Trump first made his Muslim ban announcement - was done by a Paki, whose wife was indoctrinated in Mecca. Orlando by an Afghan. 9/11 by Saudis. Turkey has been undergoing a re-Islamization w/ ISIS right next door to Gaziantep, and it's the gateway to Raqqa.

    Uh, your share of the $20T national debt is also pretty. The rest of us can overcome that once you're gone. Just make CA a part of Baja CA and you'll have Pena Nieto as your president. His endorsement is all that Gavin Newsome will need to be elected viceroy of Sacramento

  11. They're noticing this NOW? on CNET Editor Rails Against Non-Consensual Windows Updates (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless the contributor is just noticing this now, this issue has been there since Windows 10 was out. What took him so long to condemn it?

    Initially, this would happen every day when Windows 10 was just out. I had that issue at the time: I was in insurance sales at the time and had an application that would have the forms of people that would be missing one detail or another. It depended on remaining open and updated the next day, but Windows 10 would do a reset and I'd lose the application. Happened on a few, much to my chagrin.

    However, since then, Windows has given the opportunity to decide when to reboot, and one can do that in the settings. If this CNET editor is just noticing this now, he's at least a year late.

  12. Actually, they ask things like the name of your business when you order something for business use. If you run your own company, that's trivial, but if you are an employee somewhere, either you have to get an authorization from your company's IT to buy it, or you have to make something up and lie. For me, that's not worth buying something from them: I might as well go to System 76

    Actually, question should be - 'What would they be worth had Windows 8 and 10 been sold like Windows 7 to willing buyers, as opposed to being a free download forced upon everyone?' If Windows 8 was like Windows 7 in desktop mode, and like Windows 10 tablet mode in tablet mode, it would have been just fine. Add to that different ports to different platforms like ATM machines and so on, and it would have been just perfect

    From a revenue standpoint, telemetry was not what hurt Windows 10: it was more the shift from the sale of OS licenses to the Google model of data mining

    If a mom is that obsessed w/ her baby, just lay down w/ him or her 24/7 during the maternity leave. If she's asleep and the baby's wailing doesn't wake her up, neither will the monitor - and if it can, it'll also scare the baby. Baby monitors are for large houses where baby is sleeping in one room while mom is busy in a far away spot in the house, like say the kitchen.
