Does Dell have more courage? The Lattitude 7370 we started evaluating last August had USB-C ports, and charges via USB-C - ages before Apple did it. It doesn't have ethernet ports either (does have hdmi/display ports though).
It's kinda funny too - as I've had to train my Indian replacements (at Adobe). I heard from the layoff survivors that not a single one of them had any clue what I was talking about or showing them.
In other words - its a pointless waste of time. You simply can't uproot a whole office and replace everyone and expect smooth sailing.
We ran into this same issue - in our case it was a video/controller board for some electron microscope - and the board itself was like 15k, and it just wasn't in the cards to upgrade it mid research project. So all dozen or so XP machines get to use the local network and that is it.
Every single other application I was able to hack/triage to get running on Windows 7 or 10 in some way or another.
I would suspect in the police dept - network security should be as concerning as physical security though - you never know when a cop turns his/her back and someone attaches a device to their XP PC or Laptop.
That said - my experience with IT law enforcement - is that its a scary world where people like to browse porn on downtime, people build all manner of in house solutions to every problem imaginable (cops are odd like that - many seem to be self proclaimed IT experts...).
Mac's don't just work either. I can't think of a computer that does just work. I have to solve just as many weird ass issues on the Mac that the Windows guys do - often times more because my solutions are often horrible hacks, where Windows actually supports things like enterprise client management.

This actually happens in state government too - politicians or talk show hosts say the pension isn't viable (ie - they take in less than they have to pay out). You look at the data and its like yeah if every single employee retires right now this very second - no they cannot pay it all out, but the data overwhelmingly shows they can keep up with the rate of retirement.
I have no clue, but I'd guess that if everyone collecting a 401k (or a 403b if you are a gov employee) - retired today - it probably couldn't pay 100% of it out either. But that's not going to happen - you have to be 65 to even start collecting it.
I honestly think its just a way to screw over the rest of us still collecting a pension. So they can't just dissolve it with a pen, so what they do is start changing parameters on it enough until it screws over the entire organization and the people who paid into it (by law!).
At the time I used facebook a lot, and I didn't notice any changes. I don't use it so much anymore, but when I log in - I still don't see anything different.
This is such a myth. Al Gore gave up on Florida recounts where he actually won, and also he couldn't even win his home state - which would have put him over the top anyhow.
Shipping DVD's all over the place, and checking them in (and verifying the customer hasn't intentionally damaged it) has to be a logistically fun - I'm sure its not cheap - maybe even only breaks even because the delivery method is subsidized (via usps).
I worked for an outsourcing company - we were trained to be dicks to everyone essentially because the way the company wrote the contracts for phone calls (like $35 dollars a call, and a penalty if the call went over 14 minutes) - and similar shady tactics.
I work for the government now, and support desk calls are do whatever it takes to solve the issue period end of story - even if it takes all day.
At the outsourcing company it was do whatever it takes to get them to go away - I really saw some horrible things done to customers who genuinely needed help.

You know whats sad - most "conservatives" I know would still manage to find a way to blame it on the democrats.
So he's crazy like a lot of republicans?
I think in English the word is supposed to mean it automatically pilots my car - which from what I understand it doesn't.
Why isn't this an issue in America? Other than the boner everyone has for Elon here.
Wrong

Because rooted devices making spoofing GPS infinitely easier.

A lot of international roaming is like 2 dollars a meg. Its highway robbery.
Why not require they have a key or cert before they can use the API? Google does this actually.
Don't issue certs to known entities who abuse their api.
It was news because Theil bankrolls a lot of anti-gay initiatives as well - despite being gay himself.

Why would the default be me admitting I owed you 30,000 dollars? I thought debt had a little more of a hurdle than this.
That sounds like quite a racket - mail these out to everyone - sue everyone who doesn't respond and wait for the sheriff to collect the checks?
The crazy thing is in small claims it was determined the guy threw the printer out - so the court couldn't actually verify it wasn't working.
At the time I used facebook a lot, and I didn't notice any changes. I don't use it so much anymore, but when I log in - I still don't see anything different.
Maybe because I block ads?

I don't think anyone has seen the final sticker price for that.
Since the dawn of bsod's they've trapped the last known error - and dropped it on the screen - I believe its after the dmp file is written too.
I don't see why it would be a big deal to translate that error into a qr-code - it might be handy for end users.

This is actually true for Windows as well - need local admin to write to the mbr.
Also if the machine is using uefi/"Secure Boot" wouldn't be affected either.
Not us - if anything growing the hypervisor cluster has reduced 3 rooms of datacenter hardware down to a single rack of physical hosts.
