On the subject of video, it's not inherently a bad thing. It was just never done well before. Poor editing and poor sound, poor choice of subjects, etc. I seem to remember one of some maker talking all about how his project worked, but no-one thought to actually get a decent shot of the thing in question.
If you've got a story about a new kind of 3D printer which, I dunno, prints sideways or something, I wouldn't say no to a short, small, illustrative video.
Now, have you fixed it so the "Ads disabled" button will stay ticked forever?
And what happens if your face in damaged in accident, or you have a stroke, or you die?
Then, if it was really important, you would have hopefully already set up a way for someone you trust to get your password (which, contrary to the headline, is not being "replaced" in the most literal sense) and then they can get access to your stuff.
I can't help feeling your doom-mongering is a bit like saying, "They want us to start cars with keys? What if I lose my keys?!" We seem to have managed okay with such a system so far.
Or keep it simple - just abstract shapes and lines moving smoothly past. Then, every few minutes, just to screw with everyone, make it all twist through 180 degrees.
So on the one hand we've got a study which used a cross-sectional, state-level dataset relating to a host of topics associated with firearm mortality including gun ownership and even unemployment from across the U.S. to examine the relationship between recorded gun deaths and gun-control legislation, and the other hand we've got a guy who says "nuh uh!"
I'm not saying he's not right to question it, but if he's going to say it's flawed, he should demonstrate why it's flawed. Preferably with numbers and graphs.
About 75 will be hired by IBM and those workers [are expected] to receive offers this week while others are facing layoffs
What's with the angle brackets? The whole sentence has been rewritten from the article (which says "IBM is hiring about 75 and those workers are expecting to receive offers today"), and in any case those words are attributed to the submitter, so why have two words been picked out for this special treatment?
Sometimes I think Slashdot just does things like this at random because it's seen the grown-up newspapers do it, but isn't quite sure why.
Firstly, I've found that people tend to talk louder when they are on the phone. Maybe it's because there is no feedback to adjust their speaking volume.
They actually talk louder on mobile phones versus landlines. A landline phone plays your own voice back to you immediately through the speaker, and those of us old enough to have primarily used landlines are so used to it, that when it's missing from a mobile phone call, we subconsciously compensate for the lack of echo by speaking louder.

Eh? They just stop at any railroad crossing they come to and open their doors? Why?

All that is needed for unbreakable communications is a lengthy sequence of random bytes and an XOR operator. Otherwise known as a one-time-pad.

They've got more angles than your angled brackets :p
However, TP-LINK does not offer any guarantees or technical support for customers attempting to flash any third-party firmware to their devices.
Should that be surprising in any way?
