Okay but to a non dork they are typically referred to as drones. Any AUV regardless of its specific design is lumped into that category.
To make the obligatory car reference its like saying "its not a motor vehicle its a truck".
That's why its my list of things a pro model laptop should not do. I was not talking about anything the chromebook does now im talking about things I won't accept in a pro model. That one was more aimed at the preloaded software that comes with windows laptops (in case google thinks this is a good route to take).
If google wants to know what I would consider a "pro" level chromebook it would have to have the following in order of importance.
1. Longer service life - I want both the hardware and software to be supported for more then 4-5 years.
2. No advertising - If this is a pro model then its probably aimed more at a work computer. So do not spam be or hit me up for upgrades or anything else during business hours for sure.
3. Ability to turn off all telemetry
If they did just those three things I would probably buy one. Until then I just torture my kids with them.
If you could go into any govt office and look around its just as bad with post it notes with all kinds of login information everywhere. What I don't get is when looking at these they look like they have been put there since the beginning of time. Now I don't know about most of you but if I typed the same login information in for decades the last thing I need is a post it note. So no im not buying this "we cant have passwords and save lives" bullshit because it happens in office settings were no lives are at risk and still see the same lazy ass attitudes towards security. Call me an IT nazi but I would tear them all down and the first person that put up a post it note with login information on it would be immediately fired. Im sure if you fire a few of the worst offenders that others would catch on that this is no longer acceptable.
I wanted you to know that im stealing shitcake from you and making it a thing.
I don't think I could have made a better post myself. Now days most movie producers would rather spend tons more money on effects then on writers that can... well write a decent story. I had an ex boss that used to call it "polishing a turd".
Oh they are not just flying around doing nothing. They have some people and places im sure they keep a specific eye on.
Not to mention its easier to order pizza when your not in a car in front of a targets house.
So what! My point was not who specifically but that once again we would be dependent on another country for our energy needs. I just highlighted the mid east because that is where we get our energy from now.
So if your done completely missing my point I have things to do.
This is an easy one for me anyway we need our power to come from a domestic source period. How much have we enriched those asshats in the mid east for our energy needs? Do we really want to foot the bill for setting this up only to once again pay other countries for our energy needs? The best part about renewable is that it cuts our dependence on foreign energy.
I know its uncool to RTFA here but I think this was notable.
"The benefit of using helium is that it’s less dense than air, putting less strain on the motor. End result is a five or six platter drive that can spin up to 7200 RPM on less power, while improving reliability of the drive (2.5 million hours MTFB)"
So im guessing if the helium did leak out you would probably just see a somewhat lower drive life.
I amazed they even know how internal combustion engines work and you expecting them to sell cars that they don't understand at all? Good luck with that because if car salesman was not a job they would be picking up your trash.
They are all usually smooth taking dumb asses.
Can we make that a lot more broad and remove systemd from every linux distro. Then can we send the developers to mars on the first attempt.
"Hey guys relax we could have used stable proven rockets but these are new and state of the art"
They use it everywhere in prisons in fact some max prisons even have it over the prison yard.
Drone drops payload and it sits on top of that out of reach of the inmates. Then you track the drone and arrest the operators and make them inmates too.

This message will self destruct in one....
Would be easier then setting fire to a whole room like in the movies. So I could see the usefulness in some applications where you want to destroy data in a hurry.
Im sure spies have had something similar for a long time.
its become fashionable to be an asshole on the internet. We used to keep computers out of the hands of the mentally ill too but not now. Now we give them reality shows and large paychecks.
Okay magneto you can calm down. We promise that in the future all semiconductors will be fully magnetic and made of solid iron kinda like an old school skillet.

Yep time to start all over. Damn kids and their high tech toys.
How about we just cut you dirty cock off instead. Its a lot easier then sewing anything shut. Whats good for the goose right?

Holy shit you win. We have a buzzword winner!!!
Wow I can't stand that word. If that word comes up in your pitch im walking away right then. Not going to say anything just turn around and leave.

Wow so celebrities never tell their SO's no!! I should have gone to acting school. FML
Well im sure the value of lets say Danny Trejo nudes is questionable at best
Will be on indefinite hold while the owner starts a kickstart campaign for upstart cash and bail.
Typewriter sales took off as the last bastion of privacy left.
