If he's as paranoid as he sounds then indirectly give him the idea that a superior or peer of equal tenure is gunning for him. I just spent the last two years dealing with an incompetent manager who everyone knew was incompetent but his boss was too proud to admit he had made a mistake in hiring him. Less than a month after he started one of his employees quit and sited him as the reason she quit. HR followed up and seven other people myself included filed formal complaints. HR found no grounds for dismissal. Over the last two years he's been filed on over twelve times. Last month he made the mistake of pulling his passive aggressive crap on one of the directors and *poof* his ass was gone. Sometimes it's not what they are doing as much as who they are doing it to.
Then you missed the example already given. Apple kept outdated tech in their email system to accommodate a very small but crucial market segment. Now Apple is removing features large swaths of their consumer base still use. Anecdotal as it may be I know of several people who were waiting to upgrade their iPhone when 7 came out and decided to get a Samsung device because of the headphone jack. It may not hurt Apple in the short term but it will if they continue to alienate their customer base.
BlackBerry may have conceded the mobile handset business but they own the automotive market. (Both Android Auto and CarPlay run as plug-in modules for BlackBerry's QNX Car OS) And for the last four years they have been quietly buying up medical electronic companies left and right and integrating them into QNX.
Most consumer grade electronic devices do not report their state so even remotes that have the ability wouldn't be able to tell either. I'm sure the feature is finally trickling down since home automation is now taking off but unless you have endless disposable income you're probably OK with pressing the button a couple extra times. Even prosumer and commercial devices generally only report their state via serial (RS-232) connection. With almost all TV's now coming with network connectivity IR needs to ride off into the sunset IMHO but legacy equipment will be with us for decades.
OH I'm sure it is coming. Every company I've ever seen make a statement like this has done the exact opposite within weeks of the statement. It is meant to allay employee fears and keep investors happy but usually induces a quiet panic in the affected BU. If they were actually planning something they would instead tease the upcoming hardware to generate enthusiasm.
what happens if they push out a bad update and everybody's machine is out of action for a week?
You mean like last week?
I was scratching my head for an hour trying to figure out why my wife's laptop showed it connected to the AP but not the internet. I felt really dumb once I figured it out. Then I read this story and got really mad. All the while happily connected to Steam playing games on my Win 7 desktop running Waterfox (64 bit FF fork). And of course since it took out DHCP there's no way for the average person to connect to get the patch!
I repeatedly have to remind a select group of friends when they send me sensationalist stories from The Onion that those stories are satire and not real. Their response to them is as funny as the posts themselves but extremely scary at the same time. For stories they send me from other sites I'm not familiar with I do a search for a reputable source with the same information. If I can't find any I tell them not to believe that site either. It's a constant whack-a-mole scenario. The average person just isn't that discerning.
Early pacemakers were "programmed" by magnetic pulses from a wire coiled wand. They could get reset to default by getting too close to any magnetic signal.
Way back at the dawn of time (hipster time anyway) a little company known as Citrix created WinFrame based on Microsoft's New Technology (NT 3.51) OS. To do this they negotiated the access with Microsoft and all was well with the world. Citrix's product was well received and catapulted them to software star status. Sadly when it came time to negotiate for the NT 4.0 product Microsoft initially refused but later agreed but demanded a tribute in the form of a license to use the WinFrame MultiWin technology. And that, boys and girls, is how the world works.
That explanation works if you are dealing with touch screens. There were the same reports in Texas using machines with no touch screen. navigation is handled by a scroll wheel.
A CDN inside your network SAVES you money by allowing you to use bandwidth that would have been spent streaming the content from the source to your customer on other content. In the case of Netflix it would have saved you A LOT of money. So yes I don't think Netflix was unreasonable in thinking "Hey we're asking to do this FOR you and our mutual customers for free and you want to CHARGE us to save you money and give your customers a better experience?" The ISP's in question have an extreme conflict of interest because they want you to buy their inflated VOD services instead of using Netflix. They also oversell their service such that if all their customers were to use the bandwidth they pay for at the same time it would cripple their network and even if it didn't their peering connection to the backbone is already saturated with less than half the traffic they sold. These blogs over at Level 3 are very enlightening.
There's an old saying in politics...nobody ever voted to repeal an entitlement. I don't disagree with what you are saying but I doubt the telcos would let that happen and it would take a miracle to get enough politicians to actually approve.
You mean like a CDN?
ISP's have been playing games with content providers and backbone internet companies for years. Netflix offered to install a FREE CDN on all the ISP's networks that would have decreased their network traffic to the backbone by over 50% but they refused because they wanted Netflix to pay to get to their customers. Ultimately Netflix caved and paid the toll and raised their rates to compensate. Net Neutrality would make this type of extortion illegal. Right now AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, et al own the last mile AND competing VOD services. This is a complete conflict of interest.
The Yoga 900 comes with a Kaby Lake Core i7-7500U. From what I understand if you are doing image or video editing the Kaby Lake outperforms the Skylake (in the new MBP) at the same clock speed. It comes with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD. That configuration runs $1,700. It's also a stunning design. Should do anything the MBP can do except empty your bank account.
This is why ISP's should not be allowed to be content providers. I realize this story concerns cable/satellite but the implications are the same. Disney originally had a special ESPN web site that only subscribers to a certain ISP could access. That is to say you couldn't even load the web site if you weren't connected to the internet from this ISP. This is the world without Net Neutrality and it is a very real possibility. I'm sure Comcast/TWC did in fact jack up the price to astronomical figures to make it unfeasible for DirecTV/Dish to afford the content and then played the victim when they tried to force the issue. I'm also sure AT&T probably did something they shouldn't have to do the forcing in the first place. We're just looking at different sides of the same coin here.
That's the thing though. A flawed intelligence cannot create an unflawed one. So even if the AI looked like it was perfect it would not be. It's creator would probably not notice the flaws because they closely resemble his own.

Game Mode will only work for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) games so it will not benefit any of the games that would really benefit from it.

Magentamod is the obvious choice.
Until it is outlawed or becomes too heavy to carry!

This makes the game even more realistic.

So has Apple removed the proprietary DRM IC's in the lightning cable?
