They're looking at you because they wonder why you keep looking at them, checking to see if they've noticed your clearly superior trackpoint yet. "Why does he keep glancing at me, then his weird laptop, then back at me? See! He just did it again!"
I know a lot of companies who prefer windows mobile
No, you don't. Surveys (in the form of hardware sales) have shown that the number of companies that prefer Windows Mobile is statistically insignificant.
The entire reason this is happening is because the browser vendors got a stick up their ass and required HTTP/2 connections to be run over TLS.
And by that, you mean the browser vendors realized that "unsafe by default" is a shitty choice for a widely used Internet standard.
For the "HTTPS-everywhere" has basically made website operators costs double if they want to jump on that bandwagon because the bandwidth costs explode when they can no longer be cached.
Totally worth the tradeoff for making strong encryption the expected default.
Unless, of course, the report assumes that anything running Lollipop or older is not recently patched, which seems like a reasonable assumption.
According to Google, 65.9% of users are on Lollipop or older. That means 29% of up-to-date Androids would have to come from 34.1% of users, or that 85% of Marshmallow and Nougat users are fully patched. I'm skeptical.
Also, nearly half of Android users are using an OS at least 2.5 years old.:-/ Compare with 79% of iOS users on a 6 month old OS, and 95% of iOS users on an OS less than 1.5 years old.
Oh shit, that gives me PTSD hives. I worked at a startup with a sociopathic CEO who decided to pivot the week after Christmas. We all shuffled into the "living room" part of the office for a mandatory meeting, and he announced the big plan. Then he went around the room, calling out names and giving us our new roles. He didn't call all the names. "And for the rest of you: thank you for your contribution and hard work, but we've had to make some hard decisions and you won't be staying on."
Then - THEN! - the sumbitch called on each freshly-fired person in turn and asked them to talk about what their time with the company had meant to them. There were a few half-choked "I thank you for the opportunity to learn so much..." as the CEO smiled benevolently, pleased at himself for bringing such light into their sad lives.
Gah. I'd still cheerfully throw that guy under a bus. I mean, a literal bus.
And if that one employee were carrying one fifth of the entire company's workload, and he made the right decision 99.84% of the time, you'd be a moron for firing him. That's especially true when your least overruled employee is wrong 44.7% of the time and the average overrule rate is 74.3%.
In other words, you're full of shit and ignorant on this subject. Read up before getting involved in adult conversations.
We ran the numbers and Apple's plan came out better for us. One big advantage is that Verizon is just our carrier now, so if T-Mobile makes a better offer we're not contractually bound to anything.
We switched away from buying our phones through Verizon, to the Apple Upgrade Program. It's a zero-interest loan over 24 months, but you can upgrade every 12 months by extending the loan so that you have another 24 months remaining.
On this plan, the most logical behaviors are to 1) pay off your phone and hold onto it as long as possible, or 2) upgrade the moment you can so that you're not continuing to make payments on last year's model. The worst option is to upgrade every two years, because your monthly payment is exactly the same as if you upgrade every year but you have an old phone half the time.
Yeah, same. Apple Notes is now 90% of what I'd want Evernote for, and I use DEVONthink for the rest. I still know people who live in Evernote world though, probably because they have years' worth of data in it and don't want to bother migrating. I don't quite get it, but it must be worthwhile to them.
OmniFocus is $40 alone (and to me worth every penny). Evernote is $5 a month if you pay for it monthly through IAP. If you use your phone for business stuff, it's pretty easy to drop $40 a year.
crypto_really_encode(plaintext, algorithm);// Simplest crypto_really_encode(plaintext, mode, algorithm);// Next arg goes in the middle crypto_really_encode(block_size, plaintext, algorithm, mode);// Switch it up yo lol
...where AES will somehow be a valid value for both mode and algorithm (which will silently override to "NULL" if plaintext starts with a zero or the letter "p").
Meanwhile, back in reality you listed things that are naturally scarce. There are only so many phone numbers to go around. Google has an explicit policy against reuse, as do all other responsible providers. Yahoo is the exception here, not the rule.
Bad time to remember that you used midgetpornaficionado385@yahoo.com as the recovery account for normal-name@hotmail.com, which is the recovery account you used when you signed up for Gmail so many years ago and then forgot about.
I linked this elsewhere, but again to make sure it gets seen: yes, purge your account of all data, but don't delete it because Yahoo reserves the right to give your old address so someone else.
Yahoo re-issues email addresses after they've been deleted. Are you absolutely 100% certain you haven't used that account as the password reset address for anything else? If so, go ahead (so long as you don't mind someone else having your username). If there's any chance at all that your old Yahoo address's new owner could reset your Facebook password, for instance, then purge your Yahoo account instead.
Yes, everything to do with Yahoo is a travesty. Why do you ask?
On voting: here's my proposal. Vote with touchscreens. When you're finished, it prints a scantron-style page, perfectly marked. No hanging chads, no pencil marks, no erasures, nothing: just "[X] My Candidate" filled in. That's what you drop into the ballot box after looking to make sure it's correct. Go ahead and use those for instant results so you can know a minute after election who (provisionally) won. But if there's suspicion - or who knows, maybe always? - the marked ballot count wins. This is a hybrid of the current system with its protections, but with the advantages of easy UI and instant results that people want.
I think free-as-in-BSD market is mistake to Libertarians (of which I'm registered as). I think the rule of government in the economy is to protect the freedom of the market, not necessarily all of its participants. For example, look back to Standard Oil. I think it was completely appropriate for the government to break it up to preserve the open flow of the economy and to prevent a single company from completely dictating how a major economy segment operated. When Standard Oil had complete freedom, the result was little to no freedom for all the other actors. I view it as analogous to banning slavery. Sure, that placed new restrictions on some, but that cost pales in comparison to the value of freedom it granted to others. That was a good trade.
Now, I want those government actions to be rare and as gentle as possible, but I still think they're necessary. I don't want a completely unfettered economy where any large player is free to bent whole markets to serve solely themselves. That's been tried many places and times, and it never works out well (either for the other actors in the short term, or for the monopolists in the long term when enough people get pissed off that they revolt).
Re: traditional gender roles. I disagree with Social Conservatives but their position/= fascism.
Traditional gender roles, assumed voluntarily, are 100% fine. Passing laws to punish those who don't conform to them is absolutely not OK.
Re: voting: I'm 100% in favor of showing ID to vote.
I used to be, except that there have been statistically almost zero cases of confirmed voter fraud. IDs don't prevent documented fraud like Gregg Phillips being registered simultaneously in three different states.
You would have a receipt with your hash.
No, no, no, no, no. This is how you get massive voter fraud. Imagine if you got a receipt that could reveal your voting. Now imagine:
A union steward forcing employees to prove they voted correctly
A factory owner having a mandatory "let's compare our votes" party
An abusive husband making his wife demonstrate that she chose his favorite candidates
That would end anonymous voting, which is a cornerstone of democracy: you can't have democracy without it.
I have not seen that yet. I have seen people who are known defenders of free-market.
There are known defenders laissez-faire market, but that's not at all the same thing as a free market. I prefer my economies free as in GPL, not as in BSD.
Fascist is government controlling the economy and using police power and terror to enforce orthodoxy.
Soooo, a radical insistence traditional gender roles, religion in politics, using racist standards to limit minority voting, illegalizing protest, and otherwise using big government, police, and terror to enforce alt-right orthodoxy. Got it.
Free market and small-government people on the right are, by definition, NOT fascist.
Right, but all I see out of the White House is big government overreach and anti-free market corporatism.
Don't say stuff like that in public. We all know you're joking and not really advocating some batshit luny hypothesis that RF waves give you the cancer, but some people will think there's a remote possibility that you meant it and they'll immediately lump you in with other dipshits like antivaxxers and crystal healers.

...stop that insecure crap immediately, because you take security seriously and don't want to weaken their defenses. Right?

Same for me and my iPad Pro. Pencil's been a money sink, mainly because there's quite a bit of really, really nice software for it.
