During the past couple years when Apple has come out with laptops without the ports I need, or phones without headphone jacks - I figured it was Jony Ive's fault. So was it actually these other guys making those decisions?
I still remember when a group out of UW's CSE tried to get away with referring to their project as "FRITTER", even though the first two words were "Radio Frequency".
So it would probably be just as effective to parachute drop a few hundred standard microwave ovens and several thousand cases of Marie Callender Pot Pies on the country.
While the people are busy eating, a special commando team could easily disable the rockets.
Seattle's transit tunnel system is using a DAS to provide cellular coverage. We also have an older city-run wifi network at the tunnel stations, which does the same irritating thing you mentioned - it uses a captive portal, and have the time you have to reauthenticate at each station (or did, back before I could just rely on my cellular network).
Right now part of the tunnel system is shared between light rail and busses, but the busses will be vacating by the end of 2018. Hopefully when that happens the county will shut down its wifi network, since they aren't the ones running the trains.
I don't buy digital media unless I can remove the DRM. Kindle files are easy, and last time I checked my Snow Leopard VM running iTunes 10.7 and Requiem still worked (for 1080P content, not 4K) - although movies on Blu-Ray tend to be cheaper than digital versions, and the physical disc serves as a backup for the ripped version I immediately generate and store on our in-house streaming server.
How do I explain all that to my daughter? I tell her I believe that once I've bought something, it should be mine to play and/or read in whatever manner and on whatever device I prefer.
... even in somewhere like NYC you lose your network connection on the subway between stops so an application which needs a connection all the time to run is unusable.
I agree the oft-held Silicon Valley belief that everyone has fast internet everywhere is ridiculous; but this particular situation can be solved by your transit authority - the technology exists to extend cellular signals into subways. In the (much smaller) Seattle system, we've had cell coverage from all major carriers for about a year. I can only speak to my experience on T-Mobile in the tunnels; but it has been very reliable.

Let’s assume the iPhone is the target of this law because, frankly, it probably is. And let’s assume Timmy & Co. cave in because they like money.
Any good criminal network will have at least a few people bright enough to write code. Those people can implement existing strong encryption algorithms themselves. They can also teach people how to get their own free developer key and to install their own secure apps onto their own phones using Xcode. Sure, they’ll have to reinstall once a week... many jailbreakers already do this, it’s not super difficult.
The end result is criminal networks having more secure communications, while the rest of us are told to bend over a bit further.
The customers continued to pirate the movies and shows they couldn't get via approved channels? Knock me over with a feather.
Did they really expect people were going to say "I don't want to watch the Wonder Woman movie after all, since my streaming service offers Super Girl"?
We can’t have the rich folks’ view obstructed. The loss of property value might compel them to let a servant or two go, leading to a spike in unemployment.
There are a bunch of turbines near I-90 east of Ellensburg, Washington. We see them whenever we go visit my wife’s family. While I wouldn’t want the entire world covered in them, I find their design to be aesthetically pleasing, all things considered. It wouldn’t bother me t have such an installation visible from my house.
I remember, one winter day, stopping at a rest area from which you can see a large set of these turbines. There was snow on the ground, and a low fog blanketing the area. Seeing these giant machines, on a quiet day, protruding out of the fog and silently spinning was an amazingly cool sight - I might even say awe-inspiring.
Well... you have to remember the context. There was a time when php’s crypto was fundamentally broken, and its developers apparently debated whether they were going to fix it or not.
Php has had an abysmal security history - so these sorts of steps are important moves in the right direction.
âOne user who spoke with the Journal claims his app told him that "Melinda" would be arriving shortly with his order, but when he opened the door, a delivery man he already knew handed him the pizza. "Ever since then, I knew everything they said, I felt, was made up," he said.â
Come on, we know he was really upset because it ended up being a dude who delivered his pizza.

Well, if the batteries ever catch fire - that's going to be quite a spectacle, what with the coal and all.
The schools know what they want, and Chromebooks deliver it.
Without a network connection, these Chromebooks weren’t delivering anything.

Except $1 pledges are apparently quite common - Patreon is basically increasing the price to those people by 37.9%.
Odds are someone who currently makes a bunch of $1 pledges will simply end 40% of them now.
I prefer Emma to Jordan.

You know what they call a Big Mac on Rigel?
Then have John Woo do the next couple after that. Too bad Peckinpah isn't around, though.
I'm sure his friend, the Little Russian Spymaster, is helping him out immensely with the initial planning.
.. between not supporting and actively blocking. If Google intentionally changed their code specifically to block Amazon's hardware, that is not okay.
They seemingly did it to Microsoft without people raising a stink.
I can see it now...

Nor is the weight or thickness of these laptop models.

Rather than having to follow yet a Slashdot link to another Slashdot link, which then has a link to the actual story - here is a direct one:
Researchers find a way to disable Intel's Management Engine.
We can’t have the rich folks’ view obstructed. The loss of property value might compel them to let a servant or two go, leading to a spike in unemployment.
Dismiss the problem now if you like. At some point this cannot be dismissed so easily.
We could more than compensate for these bird deaths by heavily fining everyone who allows their pet cat to wander around outside.

Well, he was probably on campus, so no surprises there.
