Tesla is no different than consumer electronics manufacturers or software companies: as long as QA is considered optional and the findings of the quality department are ignored to meet delivery times nothing will change. Drops in stock price are fully avoidable if management listens to QA and quality is valued more. The cost of acting on QA's findings is negligible compared to the common outcome. This is what happens when managers talk ROI and have no clue.
I bet the 3.5 mm headphone adapters will sell like hotcakes. Isn't it weird that Apple needs to officially allow 3rd parties to fix the fundamental design flaws of the iPhones? I hope that everyone who buys such an adapter sends the bill to Apple for reimbursement. If Apple is a decent company they pay up for their moronic blunder.
....who threatens national security like no other is Trump himself. He should sign an executive order that prevents Trump from engaging in any political and public activities.
Cookies can be used to track what you do. I think it is quite fair to expect that this is disclosed to users. That has nothing to do with the EU. I do agree that legislation is not the best approach. Instead, companies like Apple need to wake up and change their approach. Their customers want serviceability and instead of picking up on that demand, Apple is stonewalling. It is entirely up to Apple to avoid such legislation and write the rule book themselves while following consumer demands and still making money in the process.
One thing the EU got right is to mandate a minimum 2 year warranty on all products. I think that is still too low, should be 4 years. The EU also has laws that require manufacturers of consumer electronics to take back old devices at no charge and fully document proper disposal. The vendors adjusted to this new landscape rather quickly. Same with any packaging return mandates. Once those were put in place it took merely a few months until the all plastic packaging was replaced by paperboard or removed entirely. Manufacturers could have avoided all this if they acted much sooner.
The bits for these screws can be bought for cheap online. They are not as tamper resistant as you might think. That said, Black & Decker is since eons of craptastic quality. I suggest your grandmother brings it back to the store and gets a better brand.
Most electronics are so tightly glued together that a repair is close to impossible. The right to repair is a necessity, but one that has to be followed by repairability rules. Manufacturers of consumer electronics like Apple should get in front of this debate if they want to keep control.
There are plenty other offenders, like Amazon and their Kindle devices. They cannot be rooted and once Amazon decides that updates are no longer needed the devices degrade in usability rather quickly.
Project Gutenberg PRESERVES literature and makes it accessible. They focus on titles that are to be considered public domain. Publishers want to milk as much money as they can without generating new content or paying authors. This is typical for for-profit corporations.
While in core I agree, you label one party incorrectly. It is not "Germany", but very small, but highly influential parties that contribute to such laws and rulings. It is something for the lawyers to figure out. Anyone with some practical sense connects via VPN and the issue is resolved. There is an app for that.
I really don't mind the ads at all....it is the obnoxious high price for in the end not much content worthwhile to watch. I looked into cable cutting, I'd save a few bucks per month, but had to switch between OTA, Chromecast, and PC to change to the various channels juggling two remotes and a tablet. Sadly, there is not a single media center application out there that is affordable and does not need a masters in CS to get set up. Best so far was Windows Media Center....no idea why Microsoft dropped that from Windows.
1) Yes, population is large, but it is concentrated in not that many areas.
2) So you clearly do not live in the Northeast
3) All states nail their power lines to bean poles like in the 1800s
4) You are a hater..and probably still think Trump does a kick ass job.
Lived in Germany for decades and lost power only once because some dude with an excavator ripped the lines out of the ground by accident. Now in the US with the infrastructure from Edison's times I can't buy battery backups fast enough. Given how much utilities charge for service they ought to spend some of the money on improving the network. I bet they wait for government handouts instead.
Does nobody find this objectionable? How come that one vendor (Google) can abuse its market position (majority browser share) to essentially kill off a product and technology from a different company (Adobe)? Flash sucking or not aside, what Google does is borderline criminal. They just happen to sell it as service to users and security improvement.
So what about all the "Chrome only" stuff Google is pumping out lately? More and more of their apps do not work right in any other browser. Google is pure evil, Flash is just shoddy programming.
You make it sound as if nobody uses dial-up anymore. Go outside the metro areas in the US and that is typically all you get...aside from ridiculously overpriced and quite slow cell connections. As far as Internet infrastructure goes, the US is a digital third world country with a Monaco style price tag. Any place in Europe gets faster Internet connections for a fraction of the price and many ISPs to chose from.
Sadly, there is no suitable replacement for Flash. But what about HTML5 and CSS you might say? Surely, that's an option if you want your web app to look and behave at times drastically different in each browser....if it works at all. There is no suitable replacement for Flash yet if consistent user experience across browsers and platforms is important. Flash will stick around until ALL browser vendors are fully compliant with W3C standards. Lately, it is especially Google who pulls an "IE6 only". So before anyone yells "Death to Flash!" go bug the browser vendors for giving us something better to replace it with.
It didn't help that the same people reported both vulnerabilities at the same time in regards to clarity. Let's call it unfortunate that both vulnerabilities are always lumped together. Meltdown is caused by a massive design flaw of Intel processors. I think Intel should replace all affected processors at no charge and cover the expenses to make hardware replacements. Instead they hand out patches that to a varying degree cripple performance. Nice going after folks already overpaid. Intel used to be only expensive, now it is expensive and crappy...just like Apple.
Two factor authentication often means getting a text message and that requires typically a cell phone that comes with more or less significant cost. Sure, I have one, almost everyone has one, but I rarely use it and pulling it out just to fish for a one time key so that I can download my spam emails is highly inconvenient. It also defies any attempt in automation. I have my emails downloaded from the server every two hours. The volume is so large that I otherwise would clog up the various email accounts I deal with. I'd go for two factor if the second factor is a hardware dongle that authorizes a system to download emails. And yes, I do not use the slow, ad laden and clunky web portals of email providers. There you have it, other users may have different reasons.

Just like with Apple product...equally overpriced and equally of craptastic quality.

Sure they will by selling replacement parts that are essentially as expensive as a new phone.

If it is Islamic propaganda it is terrorism, if it is Nazi propaganda it is free speech. That is what happens when folks are blind on one eye only.
Until you get fired...then out of a sudden your opinion changes.

The trend is clearly towards wasting money on missiles and border walls.

Only then anyone will consider Twitte's intents seriously.

Same boat here. None of the browsers work for vCenter and the desktop client is too inept to upload files to a datastore.
Trump's spiritual adviser declared that there is no flu season and that getting a vaccine is immoral and sin. Case closed!
