I once had that on a hijacked router. When I opened Chromium, I got an audio announcement telling me that my computer had been infected, and it prevented me from closing the browser: my only escape was logging out and logging back in. I had no way I could lose that, so I had to exchange the router for a new one.
If I get a call from them, I'll tell them that I don't run Windows, just PC-BSD, and then ask them whether they have anything for that. They'd be lucky if they know what an Operating System is, let alone the difference b/w Windows and Unix
According to this page, CentOS has just started w/ systemd, starting w/ 7-1611. OTOH, you could try PCLinuxOS, which despite being Mandriva derived, doesn't have it.
One thing I'm curious about - why are you looking at moving out of FreeBSD? While some of the Linux distros you listed ain't yet w/ systemd, some are just starting to come on systemd. So if you want to stay away from systemd, why go to Linux? Also, 10.3 seems a tad dated for FreeBSD. I just got a TrueOS DVD and upgraded, and it right now runs on FreeBSD 12.0 current.
No. You use the app to configure the phone - from the number that Vonage gives you - and then use it to accept calls either through your WiFi or cellular data connection. Whenever you call, it connects to the Vonage servers, then routes it to your ultimate destination, and appears as a cell call to the person you're calling.
Reason I mention it - when I signed up for Vonage, I received 3 Motorola cordless phones, one connected to the RJ45 and the other 2 wirelessly to the primary. But I almost never use it if I have cellphone in hand, since the app allows you to configure your cellphone to ring every time your Vonage number is called. I have 2 cellphones - one personal, one official, and I've set them both to ring when the Vonage number rings. So for people like my clinics and other things, I give them my Vonage number, so that I get their calls regardless of which phone I happen to have w/ me.
I know you were referring to plugging the wire to your phone. That's not how you have to do it. You can use the mesh to connect to your access point, but from the access point, you can access it using your laptop, cellphone or tablet. Or if you have a wireless router, you can use connect it wired to a laptop so that you can configure the thing when needed.
Saying as a user of iPhone, new MacBook Pro, iPad, TimeCapsule and AppleTV, that apple is no longer a computer company. They are an iPhone company. They no longer make advances in anything else but iPhones. As my current hardware slowly dies, I'll be replacing everything listed above with better quality hardware made by other companies.
This sounds so true. I went to an Apple Store in Reston, recently, to get something for my iPad, and they told me they only sell iPhone accessories, not iPad accessories (even though one can still buy iPads)
I bought an iPhone 7 recently, but only b'cos I was upgrading from a 5s: had I possessed a 6, let alone a 6s, I wouldn't have bothered. Apparently, the camera in 7 is better, but not much else
I have the Verizon Small plan of 2GB w/ the previous month's carry-over, giving me an effective 4GB, for $35 a month. My monthly bill for just that plus calls and everything is $115. I pay that plus the monthly installments on my 4 toys
I'd be curious to know how many people actually want unlimited data. Besides the millennials who are hopelessly addicted to their phone I bet 75% of the population still uses less than 1GB per month in data.
Actually, when I had downloaded one of those news apps on my new Ellipsis a year ago, I forgot to turn off the cellular data, and result was that since that news app was always running in the background, I ran out of data very quickly before I noticed what was going on. I turned off the cellular data, but for that month, the damage was done.
But other than that, you are right - I've never come close to even 1GB. Although this is b'cos my car has a GPS of its own, which is a lot more convenient than a phone's
So staying w/ Verizon should be good? I currently have 1 iPhone, 1 Moto X, 1 iPad and 1 Android Ellipsis. My total monthly is $192, which will reduce as the price of my iPad, then Moto X and then Ellipsis falls off.
A laptop would have been easier. Use Windows Media Player to organize the movie playlists and run them via the car's bluetooth and navigation system. The guy you saw was probably tweeting some fake news about you
The video is available in a related app called Movies, where one can play movies and TV. Problem in using that w/ music videos is that one can't organize them into playlists. So if one is driving, then either a passenger has to manage it, or one has to get distracted and change tracks when one comes to an end.
There have been places - like if I enter a covered parking lot, no signal. But otherwise, when I'm travelling b/w cities, like say Charlotte and Atlanta, I don't have to fiddle w/ the stations to see which frequency something is on. Like Hair Nation in Charlotte is as clear as it is in Atlanta. Whereas El Rushbo - I'd have to check the EIB listings to find out every place in b/w which stations locally is it on.
I feel for you and your colleagues who've been let go. However, please tell me that the people who keep tinkering w/ the Windows UI have also been sent packing - them I won't miss. (Personally, I don't wish ill of anyone and hope they find something, but honestly, their contributions had hit the point of diminishing returns)
I get bombarded by Sirius for new receivers/equipment, and just ignore them. I have one in my car, and also listen to it on my iPad: b/w those 2, I have what I need
One more thing - if I miss a program within a few hours, I can revisit it on my iPad and listen to what played at the time I missed it. Like TiVo, but for XM
That's fine - let government sell off those frequencies. But why tell people to get rid of their analog TVs? Just work w/ the broadcast companies to go all digital, and then let the consumers decide whether they want a new TV or not

Just tell them that you'll 'revert back' to them. You can't go wrong

If you go to OSdisc, you can buy the OS for $6, or a thumb drive for $15. I found OSdisc useful for getting a copy of TrueOS, since the PC-BSD guys ain't making them at the moment.
So what would you use for IoT? Minix? OpenBSD? Minix w/ PF?
More likely, someone who's copied and pasted this blurb from the gnu website
Is Parrot systemd, or the pre systemd distro of Linux?

This is very useful in dust rich environments, where you don't have to worry about loose parts or crevices that are dirt magnets.

Hey, look at the bright side. It at least reduces the spelling and grammar errors, which the current crop of editors seem incapable of handling
