use the same logic they do for their facebook accounts. "I just use it to listen to music, I just use it to check the weather, I just use it to xyz seemingly innocuous thing." Meanwhile that bitch is an always on spy in your house.
They wonder how they were talking about something with a friend in person and then suddenly there are ads all over their facebook page for that exact thing when they have that shit on their phone. I am talking about IT PROFESSIONALS here, imagine how much worse it is for your mom. People are fucking clueless have no idea what they've opted in to and don't value what they're losing because they didn't know they had it. They will one day when it's completely gone and life is a full on Black Mirror episode instead of the partial one it is now.
"OMG IT'S WRONG TO GET FIRED FOR WHAT PHONE YOU USE!!?!?!" actually live.
I live in an Orwellian double-speak named "Right to Work" state where I could fired for literally anything other than the handful of protected classes (gender/race/religion/sex) and have literally no recourse for it. I'm not saying it's right or wrong but it's definitely the reality.
In this case, this woman was hired specifically for her high profile and supposed to be marketing their phone for them by being seen using it.
She willfully broke her contract in a very public way and they're suing her for the damage she caused their image which is exactly what she had been hired to improve not destroy.
Samsung should stop chasing Apple's coat tails anyway. I have a very old Samsung phone and would not buy most (any?) of their new options because they've removed basically the point of getting one; flexibility and user serviceability. If I can't use an sd card and replace the battery myself, etc, then I'm not at all interested. Pre-loaded malware/bloatware doesn't help their case either.
Arendt's subtitle famously introduced the phrase "the banality of evil," which also serves as the final words of the book. In part, at least, the phrase refers to Eichmann's deportment at the trial as the man displayed neither guilt for his actions nor hatred for those trying him, claiming he bore no responsibility because he was simply "doing his job" ("He did his duty...; he not only obeyed orders, he also obeyed the law." p. 135).
This is the result of big name tech companies dumping money in to flooding markets they don't want to pay high salaries for. When they're also advising the gov't what do you expect? You live in a corporate oligarchy. Money decides all things.
No, free means people don't take out loans they can never pay back and just like the health care means single payer which means driving a harder bargain and bringing price down. You're already paying for it since the Gov't backs the loans.
I also never said I was a school teacher I said I work K-12. Reading comprehension much, smart ass?
no fucking chance. I work K-12. Starting probably as early as elementary the lie that going to college will some how entirely protect you for life dropping you in to a high paying cushy job and all you have to do is plan your vacations is inculcated. This is the result of the shrill EVERYONE MUST GO TO COLLEGE!!! screaming for generations.
Education, like healthcare, should be good, and free, for all. We don't need more aircraft carriers.
was driving for them is taking out a pay day loan against your car. I know people who do this. Hyman or whatever is dead on.
Most people aren't doing this because they want to, they do it because they have no other options and are lucky enough to have a car (often one their parents bought them).
It's a private entity that operates public buildings.. but what about the inside? What about conversations in the bathroom? What if it's aimed at someone as they open the door and it overhears something that's not? Where does this fucking end? Human nature has not caught up with technology and it's getting worse every day.
There is a hilarious and depressing Harvey Birdman episode about one. I have local copies but I think all the episodes are youtube. Completely worth watching all the way through.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, Comcast and others can SAY they're not going to throttle but it doesn't fucking matter because they know there's nothing you can fucking do anyway since in many areas they're they only choice.
Sat down after a couple beers to play World of Warships. Comcast's fucking router/switch/whatever (69.241.116.206) on their border to Level 3 to the WoWs game server has 70% packet loss right now rendering it unplayable.
Their support is completely utterly useless as always. I've played this game every day for over a year and never had this issue. I find it highly suspicious this happens 3 days after a NN repeal goes in to effect... Like many games, they use torrents to distribute patches, I'm wondering if this got flagged or something.
Microsoft is helping. I do not have uplay or origins accounts. I've had a steam account for over 14 years and refuse to use a different platform mostly out of convenience but don't use it for online games.
It is very clear they want that MMO money. I'm sure they're really shitty that Sony and Microsoft already have their own captive portals.
This is what stuck out to me too. I remember them being shills from way back. The only reason to not do that would be it's either not paying or it's not paying enough for the damage to their reputation.
I cannot wait for this to to fail and be a pale underwhelming joke like No Man's Sky only on a grander scale; if it even gets that far. The schadenfreude will be epic. This is the new Duke Nukem Forever.
Slashdot Mirror
for the avalanche of dick pics?
Fuck. Your. A(i)ds.
guess I'm already dead. I do work in the public sector so that's 2 strikes right?
We have thousands of nukes out there. How about that gov't shutdown? Do the nuke herders count as essential staff?

From Wikipedia:
Arendt's subtitle famously introduced the phrase "the banality of evil," which also serves as the final words of the book. In part, at least, the phrase refers to Eichmann's deportment at the trial as the man displayed neither guilt for his actions nor hatred for those trying him, claiming he bore no responsibility because he was simply "doing his job" ("He did his duty...; he not only obeyed orders, he also obeyed the law." p. 135).
he'd have been charged with life in prison for being a terrorist and whatever else.

"Free speech only important if it's offensive".
than sit in a fucking meeting that could have been one.
maybe along the lines of trying to save Steve Jobs via time travel, etc.

Also here's an Ars Technica article talking about them trying to make it harder and more expensive/time consuming to complain at all.
If I had mod points you'd get them. Whoever marked you Troll is probably a Trump tool.
Notice how this comes after it doesn't matter anymore.
I was under the impression they were already doing that. I don't use Chrome, though, so I guess I didn't notice.
