lol people are really trying to hype this govt shut down. A cert expiring is not going to take a website down.
Also:
All essential personnel are working..are we seriously to believe that IT staff are not working?? B.S. It's very oddly coincidental that certs expire in the 2 weeks the govt is "shutdown."
There are many cases where humans introducing something or removing something has had a severe negative impact on ecosystems, causing us to further mess with the ecosystem to try and mitigate the issues caused by our mitigations.
Hawaii and mongoose is a very easy obvious one,and there are many many more like that.
I've never seen a laptop with a discreet board that did not allow you to change which video card applications used, usually in performance settings. If you wanted Firefox to not use the nvidia card you could just set it to static powersaving mode. 10 google seconds gave me this example: https://support.serato.com/hc/...
But would this mean app developers can't test their extensions without first getting them in the store? If so is Google going to allow bad apps onto the store for the use of testing? Seems very odd.
Honestly, I've always considered the privacy of iOS devices subjective as you never know what they are sharing (even if hey say they aren't) until some blows a whistle.
And I've always disliked their walled garden approach.
BUT, Apple has just won some points with me after this decision and giving some thought to the current state of Android updates in general.
Although Android itself is updated certain phones are deprecated due to hardware constraints, then the OEMs take the update and after deciding which phones to support they build their update and hand off to carriers, who also get to decide whether or not to push the update. This gives three parties control over whether or not a device is considered obsolete..when the ONLY time a piece of hardware should be deprecated is due to not being able to actually run the software due to hardware constraints (OS needs 12gb of space, but drive only contains 16 to start with..)
Looking at Apple, it is true to that their iPhone released 5 years ago is still supported. Interesting, considering for many Android users their carrier can and will deprecate their device after 1 year.
I don't recall having any sort of microtransactions back when I was playing Gauntlet in the 80's having to stick in 2-3 quarters every 3-5 minutes. Although it was easy to spend 20 bucks in one session.;)
At least with today's microtransactions once you pay 20 bucks for some DLC component it sticks with you (unless you're buying ingame consumables..)
Correct. The school has the kids carry one HUGE binder containing spiral notebooks for every class. It's infuriating, we're trying to find a way to move her to a different school next year. Event to the point where I'm going to fill out a form asking permission to move her out of district.
I have on my work computer but FireFTP no longer works so I'm not so happy about that. Guess I have to start using filezilla..
Other then that I really like it. I'm not sure it'll make me stop using Chrome though as I use Google Play Music and that website has extra features when used in Chrome.
I wonder how many prime members are going to go buy one of these and not really think about how much they've been paying elsewhere. But hey, you can say you bought your Turkey at Whole Foods. Your guests will instantly pat you on the back and mention how that was one of the best turkeys..
I don't think the anonymous reader quoted in the summary is correct. My wife has a $230 phone from LG and it sucks, the past 2 weeks we've been talking about replacing it. At first it was "okay" but it just went downhill.
The user experience on the 200-300 android phones REALLY isn't comparable unless you want to show what a bad android phone looks like in relations to a normal phone.
The disk space on those are usually 16 or 32 gb which *would* be okay if android let you move to SD card[1] and the amount of memory is just barely able to handle the current Android OS and multitasking apps, around 2gb +/- 500mb. The cameras are usually more than a few generations old and the quality of pictures range from "okay" to "wow that sucks." We have noticed that when disk usage fills up the phones auto-downgrade the picture..so it gets even worse depending on how full your tiny internal drive is. At no point are the pictures ever on par with current or 2nd gen.
[1] Before anyone says that you can move apps to SD Cards, not really. Android will allow you to "move" them but when the apps update the apps are installed back to the internal drive.. Some apps aren't even allowed to move at all, and others will allow you to move some but not 100% of the program data. (we are also talking about stock ROM's)
the summary is poorly paraphrasing what the media rep stated, not sure if that's intentional or not, probably is. He stated clearly that he does not believe that Kodi is illegal. He talks about the plugins that you use to gain access to illegal streams.
Also, by Kodi Box I believe he is talking about the pre-configured boxes that you can purchase that will have everything you need to access the illegal streams. Kind of like those iPods that were pre-filled with albums on ebay and craigslist. heh
I believe they are implying the pre-configured "kodi boxes" that you can buy that are pretty much plug-n-play preconfigured to give you access to the illegal stuffs...
They even state in the article that the software itself is not illegal.
"Data creation is exploding. With all the selfies and useless files people refuse to delete on the cloud, was created in the last two years alone. At the current rate, the world's data storage capacity will be overtaken by next spring. It will be nothing short of a catastrophe. Data shortages, data rationing, data black markets. Someone's compression will save the world from data-geddon, and it sure as hell better be Nucleus and not goddamn Pied Piper! I don't know about you people, but I don't wanna live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than we do."

what about sites like draft kings, that are being pushed and encouraged by the sport leagues themselves?
"..websites are dropping like flies."

It's really how you use it.
Edge does have extensions. IE does not.
I would still use Firefox over Edge. But I always install ublock just in case I need to use Edge for something.
this exactly.

I'm sure Democrats will totally reach out to registered republicans in their networks and urge them to vote...likewise the other way around.

combine this with diabetes..try having a diabetic patient NOT eat anything for a while.

and they don't backup their systems?
I know right!?

it'd be nice for my kid to be able to use a backpack to carry her schoolwork in. They aren't even allowed clear backpacks.

naw man, Compuserve modernized. They'll ship it to you on a Zipdrive.
It would have been nice for the submitter to include a screenshot of a good example.
I use the headphone jack nearly every day...as its the only (cheap) way to use my phone with my car speakers.

you mean msn.com, then hotmail.com, then live.com, now outlook.com.

not really.
The summary on ./ is paraphrasing to skew the outrage. The representative actually said in the interview that the software (Kodi) isn't illegal.
