"We recognize that many users, especially pros, rely on legacy connectors to get work done today and they face a transition."
Obviously, Apple did not recognize that. If they did, they would have added more ports. Just two USB ports? Even a 35$ Pi 3 has more than that.
Those who complain should have done the wise thing: stop buying stuff from Apple if it lacks the features you need.
QA Analyst here.
QA uses the same loggers and then some during testing and reports the issues. It is just that devs, product owners, and management rather cram in another badly designed and untested feature a day before release rather than to fix the deficiencies already reported. And we QA folks would report more if we'd be given the same time that devs get. Nobody questions devs when they say they need three weeks to do X. QA is not even asked for an estimate.
Now go and look at the open bugs list that QA artfully crafted for you and fix every single item on that list before you start with new development.
I blame Agile and the mockery that management made out of it. We are agile now means that we can put stuff on the sprint backlog at will and declare it done after three weeks. Agile also makes documentation a bad thing, so we stop writing stuff down, including requirements. We are agile now, we can change our minds at will and everything that is inconvenient (such as fixing bugs found by QA before release) is postponed, reason: we hit it early next iteration.
Agile enables those who do not want to commit to a design approach causing requirements (if there are any) to be vague at best. How is QA supposed to determine if devs build what fulfills the customer needs? Especially when management rather spends money on more devs and more new toys and more JS frameworks instead of equipping QA properly and giving QA and support veto rights to block a release?
Agile is the death to quality and I am surprised that devs spend that little time on bug fixing in production. Seems as that users put up with quite a bit of crap before they complain. The mobile apps have groomed them well...or did you ever come across a mobile app that actually works reliably well?
I'm more concerned about people writing comments like yours.
What the heck do they play the national anthem before every friggin sports game? No other country does that as far as I know unless it is international competition. This hard core nationalism is what is causing many problems.
As far as people shooting others, get rid of guns as much as possible and the number of shootings and deaths as well as crime in general will go down drastically.
I have no idea what Jesus could do here, if he'd did what the Bible claims he did under today's laws, he'd be thrown into jail on terrorism charges.
How many counterfeit and copyrighted items do the USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc transport on a daily basis? Following the logic applied to torrent sites, these businesses need to receive cease and desist orders as well and have their CEOs / Postmaster General dragged into federal courts for actively aiding copyright infringement. The claims are totally ludicrous.
"after billions of dollars in budget overruns" - How is this cheap? Doesn't even consider the still unsolved problem of long term nuclear waste storage.
These billions would have been better spent on battery research so that we have effective means to store the power generated by wind, water, and solar.
A skinny package for 25$? If Google wants to make any inroads it has to offer something that is at least as attractive as Sling, both price and channel lineup.
It is the same rule as in a public park, you carry out what you carry in or properly dispose of it. I doubt Greenland has trash cans for nuclear and chemical waste, so carry out is the only option. I doubt Greenland benefited from the US being there. If anything, it made Greenland a prime target.
What a millionaire considers affordable and what I consider affordable and two drastically different things. As soon as people like Zuckerberg pile up the cash they lose all ties to reality.
....through 15 years of shit posts on mailing lists. If I'd be at the receiving end of Torvald's rampant verbal abuse I'd submit crap code as well just to piss him off. Maybe Torvalds is just a crappy project leader who first lets buggy shit through and then blames everyone else for it.
Prices go up while content and service go down. I will ditch cable soon, I already cut back quite a bit. It was about to be more expensive than a car payment.
Worse even, If Yahoo is convicted and has to pay damages it will be less expensive than implementing proper safeguards. As long as breaches are cheaper than security not much will happen.
There are several neat games that are only available on Android and that I like to play on my PC with a big monitor. The somewhat outdated Android hardware that I have does not have HDMI output...and to be blunt, 7" screens suck. Way too small.
...is only about making money, especially those TV preachers. US religion is also what ru(i)ns the country, "in god we trust" on every bill, "nation under god" when pledging allegiance to a piece of polyester (made in China), "faith based initiatives", "christian values", and the often used excuse for screwing up "god told me so".
If churches of the various kinds are operating like profit organizations then tax them accordingly. And get all that pseudo-religious garbage out of politics!
No, working in QA and going back and forth with devs and business analysts I often get overruled because devs claims this or that "cannot be done". Fact is, they are just too lazy and the BAs don't want to deal with it either...until a customer complaints about exactly that, then it is top priority and a fix is put in place within ten minutes. Those are bugs that at least from the QA side are indeed expected...and totally avoidable if folks would do their job and do it right the first time.

Stop selling guns is the much better approach to safety.
....who issued that warrant. Unless of course, this came from one of these special courts who just rubberstamp any insane request from the feds.

Those who can afford high end smartphones are simply richer and do not have to worry about how to make the mortgage payment or feed the kids.

Is that because Putin is one of the best world leaders? At least Trump claims he is.

"Landing" is a rather positive spin for what was an intentional crash. Rosetta slammed into the comet's surface, hardly anything I'd call a "landing".

....to fall for buying yet another iPhone are dumb enough to take this as a serious suggestion.
....and I clean up.
I had the same thought. If they are that deeply interested in the well being of people, why don't they hack and block the gun manufacturers 24x7?
So do all other OS and we still use them and in some cases even pay a lot of money for them.
Can also try Mobdro and cancel the cable subscription. :)
