Even my HP laptop is easy to repair. I've replaced the screen so far, after my son decided to climb on the table and stand on it. It's a 50/50 laptop though. Nice screen, decent hardware. Shitty touchpad and even shittier keyboard. I will never buy an HP again. But it was easy to fix. You can even download the service manual from the HP website - tells you what order to remove things and part numbers for everything.
How can this feature be added back in? I'd find it handy. What's wrong with encouraging people to walk instead of drive? Where else could you put such a feature, apart from Maps? Adding navigation to a fitness app would be even worse. What's wrong with pink cupcakes? Raspberry icing is awesome. How dare women try to claim it for themselves.
also... "We need Microsoft to invest a crap-ton of money to further enhance their old software, for no extra money, to support it after the time they said they would when you bought it."
Could be worse, I have a Motorola (now Lenovo) phone from 2014. It was their flagship phone when it was released. It hasn't received a security update since 2016 It's not like I expect it to run the next version of Android, just a security patch level later than 1 August 2016
Sure... they'll either offer you less, as you're not given them all that they want, or they'll simply get someone else. A lot of the time you're not dealing directly with the clients, you get the deal with one of their "preferred vendors" *, who won't/can't negotiate with the terms of the contract, as they have existing contracts with the client.
Is owning the IP to code you write for someone else really important to you?
* Where I'm from, years ago some contractors tried claiming rights given to employees (sick leave, paid annual leave, redundancy, etc....), so large companies tend not to directly hire contractors anymore.
I have experiences capillary action wick milk up in to the vent holes on the bottom of my laptop while it was sitting on the table. At least keyboards are designed to be moisture resistant these days.
Tesla Autopilot is not much more than lane keeping and auto cruise control. It can't handle cross traffic without crashing into a truck. It's designed to only be used on motorways. It can't drive through a city. It can't read signs at an intersection to determine who gives way.
Autopilot != self driving. It does exactly what an autopilot does, keeps you on course at the correct speed, and hands back control to the pilot when it detects a scenario that requires a decision.
and only just enough english to read and understand all the language and library documentation, which is all in english. So basically, you should learn english, because the common programming languages are documented in english.
Like particle physics. Since when was that a basic topic? Yeah, those things referred to as atoms, so small most people can't comprehend how small they are, it's a topic about the even smaller things that make up the things that make atoms, and how they interact with each other to do that.
the 1st Amendment doesn't provide free speech. It prevents the US Government from creating laws that restrict it.
Perhaps you should read it.
Freedom of speech doesn't include incitement of hatred or violence, aka "fighting words" 3rd paragraph, page 68, "Recapturing the Spirit: Essays on the Bill of Rights at 200" https://books.google.com.au/bo... So no, ISIS should not be free to spread hate.
The US Constitution doesn't prevent the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which requires all activities and finances of a foreigner/foreign government or their agents to be registered, unless specifically exempt.
I totally agree. The government shouldn't be providing Qualcomm with exclusive rights to their patents. That kind of regulation harms other businesses and consumers. There wouldn't be any antitrust issues if there was no monopoly on ideas.
Russia is not covered by the 1st Amendment. If you want to use it, you need to be a citizen of the United States or a person within its borders. Not a guy in Russia buying ads on Facebook. They'd need to do it from within US borders. Then they would be bound by the laws related to political campaign advertising.

Good one.
Oh no... Firefox doesn't run on Pre-Pentium 4 or Pre-Athlon 64 CPU's from 15+ years ago?
You're talking Pentium 3/Celeron of the age and Athlon XP's

or you could join a GOOD network, with a BAD guy within range, able to receive your wifi packets.
What does this have to do with closed source code? In this case, the closed source implementations are less vulnerable than the open ones.
and card data is never supposed to be transmitted in clear text, or they fail PCI DSS

Perhaps you should stop hiring them off a street corner.

If you're a contractor, being paid for time, you don't usually own anything you produce while you're being paid, it will be in your contract.

Well done Mr Cook!

The same as the pre-Internet era?

Because if they want to take anyone to court, the evidence needs to be admissible.
Hence the parallel construction of evidence they already have.
