again non-Apple-users educating everyone what a fail Apple products are. If only they could fail once in their life so successfully as Apple does...
MBP user here, travelling very happy with two ports and a tiny USB-C to -A / HDMI Adaptor bought for €10. Every external device I use works fine and the stuff I carry is greatly reduced. Maybe because I didn't buy the cheapest Chinese cables / power banks / chargers ?
Just imagine what an adversory with access to Trumps Twitter account tweeting in his name could do eg. when there’s a situation bordering an armed conflict. Or to trouble stock markets.
This is nonsense. Apple is / sells quite a closed ecosystem hardware-wise, which keeps the number of possible components low and system stability relatively high. Yes, they fsck up, but having used devices from both major worlds even on a medium-enterprise scale they are quite ahead of the diverse and open world android.
This said, Apple is under no obligation to test their releases against 3rd party modifications of their devices. This would be a cat-and-mouse game they can only lose. It think from a software-development perspective this is a sound decision. Either test against as many foreign hardware / modifications as possible and sell this, or only test against the low number of well known hardware / modifications and sell this. There is no middle ground.
Now there still is the elephant of software quality in the closed china shop of Apple, but that's a different topic.
People think that watching "Die Hard 1..n" and _maybe_ shooting on a range somehow makes them competent to identify and kill an active shooter who's most likely expecting to die and take with him (it's all men, isn't it?) as many people as possible.
I'd love to see a representative survey of parents whose job it is to identify and take out active shooters in public situations. The question would be "Do you think your kid is safer at school if the teachers are armed?". If the answer is "yes" I'm curious to see it implemented in law with the CDC or other proper institutions following and studying it closely.

You have no idea. Imagine Wechat being your electronic payment for online and offline transactions and imagine booking an appointment with your dentist or a flight to a conference using Wechat. Wechat seems to be completely underestimated in the west though it has more than 500mn users for these services.
Soon customers in the US will only be able to connect to a preselected list of servers for Facebook etc. But you will be able to buy access to additional IPs per MByte Traffic.
Oh, IPv6 rollout is solved, too, you will not need it.
So you have been geographically close to someoneâ(TM)s mobile with a search history of baby related stuff, or maybe even on the same WiFi? No microphone access needed...
I'm with you on the mushroom spores and the giant tardigrade. Obviously it's complete fantasy, and not at all credible as something that will ever be. Worse it makes no sense.
A plane of mold, extending below all of universe and multicellular life feasting on it. Makes perfect sense to me. Yes, thats complete fiction bordering to fantasy, but still, very plausible.
"And it was to this planet that unattended ballpoints would make their way, slipping away quietly through wormholes in space to a world where they knew they could enjoy a uniquely ballpointoid lifestyle, responding to highly ballpoint-oriented stimuli, and generally leading the ballpoint equivalent of the good life."

warp field is far more believable than instantaneous travel to anywhere based on mushrooms that exist everywhere at once.
I just watched the 6th episode on Netflix. I was very annoyed by the mushroom idea at first but I now really like the idea of a biological agent growing in a separate plane of reality, covering all of the universe and maybe (spoilers?) bringing life to all of it. I think it could have been ants or cockroaches, too, but the concept of an all encompassing mold is just plausible to everyone who ever owned an old house. I would have expected it in Doctor Who, though. And I really like the characters they are building - here's hope that Discovery will live long and prosper.
in that sad story is that the revelations of Wikileaks helped Trump to win the vote, which may not exactly be in Assangeâs interest. I guess there would have been better candidates lower the probability of being detained that moment he leaves the ambassy.
And personally: I think being set up and being a self inflated, stupid asshole having unsafe sex go very well together.
I like that they used Stuxnet, knowing that it would be identified within hours after broadcast.
I hate however that generations after me we will have no proper IDE at all, just some editor that has a little code folding and no syntax-aware highlighting at all... What happened to, say, vi?

This is the thing that irritates me the most about US-American politics. Where I live we just had a general election and though the party I voted for did not win the majority and will be in opposition I'm fine with other parties trying to form a (3-party) coalition. They will try to govern all of our country in a way that they perceive as possible optimum for all of the people. Even if I will disagree with some of those decisions they will be justifiable.
I guess my friends voted for at least 5 different parties in these elections, one even was the head of the local election campaign for a party I decidedly did not vote for. Yet we don't beat each other up but have passionate discussions over beer and dinner.

will mean implementing strong censorship rules after Brexit.

Or to trouble stock markets.
OTOH: maybe that’s already happening.
I guess http basic auth over TLS.
The connection is encrypted using TLS but the password is transferred in the clear (base64).
Don't use basic-auth.
If you absolutely have to, use an application specific password with restricted rights.
I thought Australia decided that they'd rather want a useful coal mine instead of a useless pile of corals?
Do you have any sources for your theory or is it just inhaling chemtrails and the lizard people talking to you in the pizzeria's basement?
