And who define those speed limits? Will give an example....Here we have a tolerance of 20km in some situations, in which you either are ignored, or just get out of it with a verbal warning and a (very small) fine.
Bureaucratic solution? Downgrade all the speed limits by 20km to speeds that are impossible to keep up and make everyone a potential criminal ripe to abuse. For bonus point, downgrade vital interconnecting parts of the town that had that speed for decades, and keep quiet about it. Guaranteed revenue.
Here I have seen speed traps in highways that connect cities, strategically place in stretches where the speed and downgraded 20Km for the maximum allowed.
Almost two years old movies and shows....
The only saving grace is their own generated content, and the interface is rather well thought out.
Apart from that....
Finally someone using the head for what is intended to.
This seems either an interesting social experiment or just laying a precedent to ask for mandatory access to router logs.
Correction: it is basically similar to viewing a movie on TV, except I can employ technology to disable the ads.
Frankly, I wonder how people does not see a computer as their device, instead of being a device serving someone else.
Even if not being able to disable the actual ad, there are always several options:
- Windows minimize;
- mute button;
- windows close and move to some other site.
As for the movies and series, they seem to be from the 90s. As for geolocation, that is a stupid and mean move that does not work so well.
PS. Got new words for your: whitelisting URLs/DNS/IP addresses
I did the netflix trial.
I love their interface, and the possibility of using it in the devices in own, including a TV app/applet...
but, and big BUT:
the show and movies are....OLD. The only saving gracing is netflix own productions, which obviously are limited.
Come the TV series are what, 2 years behind?
When and if Holywood gets their act together, and allows them to sell new content....if hell freezes over, I will sign up the next day.
MaxMind can be a boon to test geolocation.
Now, believe it pinpoint to exact locations in some cases can be quite far fetched.
I was once tracking someone that was harassing me via skype; managed to get his IP however the location was to...an hairdresser....and on the other side of the street of the ISP that person was using.
I already new the provider from whois data, so MaxMind did not allow me to narrow it more than the city.
As usual, tools can be quite useful, but part of the craft is knowing until which point you are able to trust the data they spew out.
It is counterproductive having people cleaning parks and beaches.
When those freaking idiots were in a dump up to their necks, maybe they realized they should had no servants cleaning up after them.
Android phones were always years ahead of Apple on technology, at least in the last couple of years. So what exactly new technologies are we talking about?
There goes the time the iPhone was clearly a better user experience for the price.
The smartphone technology has evolved well enough that any 200+ USD phone provides a satisfying experience, only slightly worse than a phone ten times more expensive.
Also if anything, people understood the iPhones from iPhone 6 onward were not made to last, and thus confidence on the brand was eroded. Why invest 1k-2k USD in a phone that is not build to last, and will only get you by 2, at most 3 years? By that token, you buy a 200USD every couple of years, use the latest tech, and save a bunch of money in the process.
Furthermore, phones are a very vulnerable technology to theft, breakage or loss. There is no incentive into buying 2K USD phones against 200-300 USD phones that just work. People are pragmatical.
I suspect the notice fails to mention this feature is not entirely new.
I remember that in a few shadier sites I used in the past for watching movies, the redirects did not go into the history, I had to monitor DNS when I was trying to blacklisting them, however they changed them every day, and then I resorted to whitelisting.
Maybe some shadier sites found out strategies to get around it, but then the newspiece is not entirely clear on that feature not being entirely new.
If anything, the iPhone is better at filtering out advertising. Google goes out of its way to enforce prohibition of anti-adware technology, and people is using non-official browsers and non-official apps that in non-rooted phones interfere with VPN connections.
Me and a female friend attended some local Toastmaster club, and gave up on it after a couple of months.
The fake patting in the back and fake "positive" attitude was revolting, and it discussed me more than going to an evangelist mass.
Coincidentally, or not, the failed people that I know that did not have any particular strong skills to keep a job in the recession, went on being "coaches".
Coincidentally, I still have a relatively recent MacBook Pro because I got a very sweet deal in a black Friday.
But for the price, I do agree that some recurring bugs are simply annoying. For 3 or 4 OS/X versions, they had serious WiFi issues for months at row; in my 2014 MacBook Pro, it had a random lockup up maybe for a year or two until finally they fixed it at OS level. hmmm

Is it possible that your son was bullied into "giving" the phone to an older colleague?

Exactly the same with my name. But I will give then the middle finger much before subsiding shady and predatory business tactics.

Which is a shame. Movies suck, I kind like the interface. The only shortcoming I felt on it was searching country by country.

Cool, now we just need to reverse engineer how the checks are made, and write an LD_PRELOAD to convince chrome all the pages do not comply.

It should be "took on MultiChoice" and not "took on the MultiChoice".

I recently (re)installed FreeBSD. Tried to go with Palemoon. Heck, wanted to stay with Palemoon.
Palemoon is clearly promoting ads, and no *useful* adblocking extensions that do not promote "responsible ads"...
So, uninstalled it. It is sad Chromium is providing a much better user experience nowadays once you load it with the right plugins.
Yeah, when I was an expat in Africa, I was turned criminal because I felt "excluded" and "targeted". Utter PC rubbish.

I bought one and then found out the image is sent to the device as half HD and then upscaled to full HD...Have not bothered to check their 4K model.
What prevents us opening now a bug it has too little swear words? Several people can play that game.
*Anything* will be more stable than Windows....

disgusted... I think the worst "feature" of slashdot is not letting people correct obvious mistakes.
