That's a neat bit of revisionism there. GSM ruled the actual world (except the US) for voice communication; it was so succesful that by the time it needed an update for high-bandwidth data, the owners of the CDMA IP begged to be taken into the UMTS standard.
Oh dear. You have to share the road with other people, it's not just there for your biscuit tin.
Here's news for you: you are not alone on the road. Roads existed before cars, and they will exist after, and other people have a right to use them too. You have to slow them for them? Suck it up, snowflake.
We can what-if and yeah-but all day long, but Occam's Razor suggests very strongly that it is a neo-Nazi hack (and yes, I refuse to use euphemisms like alt-right for fuckers like AfD).
In that case I suggest you go a little easier on the superlatives next time, because you may not have meant it, but it looked as if you were praising them.
And doing technology as a byproduct of your actual goal is not new, so no matter their technological prowess, they are an advertising company.
If, accoding to the article, the prime funding sources are own capital and freinds and family, then I think it is fair to say that Marx had a very good point.
Part of that lifestyle they're selling is the lie that users of their products are at the cutting edge, using Apples innovative products.
This marketing style, like most of their work, is of course derivative as hell. It is how e.g. the sports branch went from commoditised sneakers to 'Just Do It!' lifestyle markers, increasing their markup by magnitudes at the same time.
Apple is a branding and marketing exercise, the Nike of the computer industry.
And again the myth of the self-made man strikes again. To silence the critics that this is yet another plutocrat trying to keep them down, we must pretend that he did it all on his own, from humble beginnings.
Well, if you do some googling, the truth soon comes out: so-called self-made man is just another rich boy. Liemandt's father was none other than the direct subordinate of GE's Jack Welch; another sociopath millionaire. So that's Liemandt: another spoiled rich boy sociopath.
I would add to that a huge loss in self-motivated improvement and in innovation. If you boss is riding your tail not only will you do the bare minimum to keep him off but when you see something that can be done better you've already spent all your shits hating your boss and your job. You won't have any to spare for helping others, recommending changes, or other optional, beneficial behaviors.
There is a word for that: 'Alienation'.
A lot of what he thought would solve the problem turned out to be wrong, but as wrong as Marx was in prescribing remedies, it seems he was on the ball on diagnosing the problem.
One of the reasons for running VMs is to isolate applications that require root privileges. And the e1000 is a very popular nic to virtualise. Almost everything I met had either VirtIO networking or an emulated e1000.
So this is actually a pretty common configuration. No, this is not overblown.
If you spend a lot to buy a Mac in the first place. Why would you install Linux on it?
Because you want to, and it is yours. No-one is obliged to give you any reasons beyond that.
It's funny to see some of Slashdot's most hard-core 'property is everything' Conservatives on this discussion suddenly all going 'why would you want to have full control of your own property' when it comes to Apple hardware.
Douglas Hofstadter made a good point in his essay 'Waking up from the Boolean Dream': Humans don't seem to do patter regcognition the way AI researchers are trying to program computers. A lot happens in the sub-200 millisecond delay between seeing an image and recognising it that we don't even know how it works yet.
When you see a picture of your Grandma, you go 'Grandma' immediately. It is a stretch to say that your visual cortex manages this by comparing a picture of Grandma to pictures of houses, tigers and other people in its database. Something happens that immediately connects the image from your retinas to the concept in your memory. And we don't even know how that works yet, so how can we implement that in AI?
Note that Hofstadter specifically says that this is not some ineffable human characteristic. He says that it is possible to understand and reimplement, just that the brute force approach is not the way to go.
how do you know if an advance is unwanted if you don't try your luck?
It's called 'context'. 11PM in a bar when everyone is relaxed and having a good time? Good idea. 4AM following someone into an elevator when they're heading to their room to go to sleep, when they've just given a talk how tney don't want to be proposed to at conventions? Bad idea.
It really isn't that hard. And those getting proposed to damn well know the difference between an earnest attempt timed wrong and yet another sleazeball who is trying to hide behind 'but I didn't know it would be unwelcome!'.

Well, you did just fail the Reverse Turing Test...
Yes, and Guido and Luigi were not threatening, they were just talking about how fire-prone your business is, shame if something were to happen to it.
Trump is the only one to blame. Period.
That all you right-wingers can do? Projection? You're less than pathetic.
They should? Even if the misuse is due to deliberate or negligent ignorance of flaws in their product or service?
They get treated as what they are based on their behaviour: arseholes.

Oh fuck off. The AfD has been caught multiple times singing the praises of the Nazis. They're neo-Nazis. And you are an apologist for them. At best.
We can what-if and yeah-but all day long, but Occam's Razor suggests very strongly that it is a neo-Nazi hack (and yes, I refuse to use euphemisms like alt-right for fuckers like AfD).
No, I blame Republicans because they are to blame.
Is a lobotomy required these days to be a Republican?
Fuck off with your 'both sides' bullshit. The only ones using the government shutdown as a weapon have been the Republicans.
Funny that I never hear the ammosexuals complain about this misuse of 'machine gun'

The Nazis got us the first operational jet airplane too. Still does not make them any better.

e1000 is the Linux device driver name for that NIC family.

Go away, incel.
