Gruzen envisions a future in which EV owners can send autonomous cars to charging stations remotely, a future that would only be possible with wireless charging stations.
Uhhhh... no. With the state of computer vision (used by autonomous cars of all things), you can easily program a device to automatically align and plug in a cable. Wireless is just a drop in efficiency. Right now, with the state of battery storage and the goal of ostensibly reducing emissions, you would think efficiency would be engineering goal #1.
I have 2 big desktops, one at work and one at home. Both AMD 6 Core rigs. Both had mid-range AMD GPUs that I upgraded 2 to 3x. My last upgrade was to nvidia GPUs. I have been generally happier with them. A 960, and a 1070.
I am looking hard at Zen for my desktop as I have run out of SATA ports and the CPU is starting to show its age when running 2-3 VMs. Then I will consider the next gen AMD GPU.. maybe in another year or so.
The online ad industry is so fucked, let it happen. Defraud the fraudsters. Exhaust their funding
Every PC I service gets adblocking with customer permission and education on it. It is in my opinion unethical not to. There are so many fraudulent (even browser hijacking and malware delivering ads), that there is no other choice.
Not to mention that it often speeds up browsing by a third or more, pertinent info is easier to find, etc.
UPS stores have what are essentially PO Boxes but are not USPS. The mailing address is often an office number at the UPS store location, so 111 any street Ofc 321.
UPS and USPS will deliver there (not sure for fedex) and it can be used as a business address.
Because banning stuff is idiotic public policy. If the market decides what consumers get, you end up with America. If the government decides, you end up with North Korea. Unless a product violates specific enumerated criteria like using lead paint, the government should stay out of it. If you let the government control router specs, you are going to have the NSA in your bedroom.

We have part on in Charlottesville. Fill a card with cash, pay by the ounce of whatever you pour yourself. Every so many ounces the card locks so you have to see an attendant (this is a drunk check).
Supercritical just means that it is above the vapor point but cannot vaporize due to the pressure it is under. Dealing with high temperatures and pressures is a very surmountable engineering challenge.
Did you know your decaf latte probably used supercritical CO2 to decaffeinate the beans? Supercritical CO2, also at very high pressures, is a very good solvent and used in many industries.
You give people access to others private data.. location, pics, emails, etc - some will abuse it. Period. This goes for google, NSA, Uber, police with stingrays, license readers, whoever.
Tools can be made to limit access and log it but not eliminate it.
The question is, is there a culture present with the data that treats it as normal or one that thinks privacy violations are vile. Guess we know which culture Uber has now. In that type of culture, the behavior flourishes, until it is caught out by some big mistake or whistle blower. In the other type of culture, the people who think it is okay stick out like a sore thumb and are quickly dealt with.
For me it is a first to market thing. Steam was first, most of my games live there, and they do okay by employees and consumers. GOG is great all around and a goo place to get non-DRM encumbered games. Between them I have ore games than I can play.
Windows store? why? They have no exclusives I want, I generally do not like how the company does business, etc...
I concur. I have recommended Netgear to friends and residential customers for a while. No more. I own an R7000 that suffered from a terrible time after a bad firmware upgrade. Forum support was terrible with better responses coming from outside techs than Netgear. Now this.
I will not be recommending them anymore, and I will let them know why.
Don't get me wrong. I have and will pirate many things. But, it is not $90 for one season of one show. It is $90 for Prime which comes with lots of features. Hell I have prime.
So, either you are of very limited understanding, or you have constructed the most specious of strawmen.
1. Needs a malicious hypervisor. If you trust your critical data/systems on a VM that us under a hypervisor you do not control, well you deserve what is coming to you. This is no different than someone having physical access to your hardware, all bets are off.
2. Regular consumers are not going to care about this or have to worry about it.
If the price/performance of this family pans out as promised, it will get foothold in the server market and HPC market. Both will find ways to secure against this -or own their own metal-. Plus there are plenty of uses that run bare metal.
Are we sure this wasn't an Intel funded FUD study?

I think you accidentally a word.
Yarrr I say to these fucking scalawags.
It mentions nukes almost favorably. Can't be mdsolar...
It is easier to ask forgiveness (even with a half-assed apology like this), than permission.
I really just want an excuse for new hardware :). The old hardware will get used though.

Fix the industry or get thee gone.

Why not ban crappy routers?

Ahhh, another xenophobic, isolationist, fingers in ears asshat. God, I love this country. it is soooo great now.

Have some fun videos about the latter.

A roadblock is stationary and presumes knowledge of the vehicle and its route as well as lack of witnesses at roadblock location.
A gun may not stop a vehicle.
Spoof V2V data, trick car into thinking car in front is braking. Kidnap/rob from target vehicle. Profit.

Windows store? why? They have no exclusives I want, I generally do not like how the company does business, etc...
Problem solved.
Really, with Steam, GOG, etc who needs it? I game like crazy and use window 10. Windows store games--not even once.
I will not be recommending them anymore, and I will let them know why.
