I'd prefer if it didn't do much distinction. One compromised device inside a local network shouldn't be enough to escalate it to control every device inside. If you trust devices on a basis "its in our network", then you are doing something wrong.
There are still flavours of linux out there that match AC's description. Things like Arch linux or gentoo. They are for people who want to have maintaining their PCs as a hobby. I personally don't despite being a nerd, so I prefer to go with kubuntu instead.
but China's trade agreements will become far less favorable once their factory workers start demanding $20/hr.
Which is why china is colonizing Africa at the moment. There the workers are still cheap. Lots of businessmen in china are now having these problems that the workers demand more pay and will have to close their businesses unless they find a place where they can still treat their workers like shit.
Yeah they only started to dislike the encryption plans when the companies made it so that even they themselves can't access the communication contents.
Microsoft follows the best in class scheme, where their products are targeted to be best amongst all competitors. If the competitors are shit, then the product may be shit as well, but if the competitors are really good, microsoft invests lots of money until the ms product is better than those.
Well yes Vulkan is more complex than OpenGL, but its not in the same relation to OpenGL as Assembly is to c#.
True, there is SPIR, but there are already compilers for SPIR out there, and it has been a critique point of OpenGL for a long time that shaders couldn't be compiled, while they could be compiled by DirectX.
Either way, the indie gaming industry seems to be moving towards engines like unity that then expose simple high level APIs. They will enjoy vulkan because it will allow unity and similar engine developers to make their engines faster and have more api functions. And AAA games will enjoy Vulkan even more because they can customize every tiniest part which they couldn't do with OpenGL.
Vulkan is more a competitor to DirectX 12, and its better because it is probably more consistent due to throwing out all the legacy crap (read OpenGL).
Citizens of the "grand area" of places of US influence. You know, it is true, the US maintains some sort of control over countries which live in the "grand area", the area of its influence. But the countries have much better freedom, much better judiciary systems, much less bribe going on and almost no oligarchy system in the economy. That's why I am on their side.
any more than the seizure of North and South America from the natives by Europeans will be undone.
Are these countries parts of the territory of the european countries? No they aren't, they became independent. Different story for crimea.
Wake me up when m$ ditches directx in favor of ogl/vulkan (on the xbox platform and on windows) and when the non cloud version of office is available on linux on the desktop.
Yeah it would be fun to watch the CIA fund the opposition in russia to weaken the position of putin. Its not that they are not experienced, this is a standard tool in their toolset. Maybe we get crimea back, and russia becomes a democracy. Russia joining EU, anyone??
Yeah if you have to install an app or a profile or whatever it is of no real use. Its in fact probably even worse as those "public" WiFi stations where you first need an account before you can use it.
Security is always an afterthought. People want to get their products used and published, and want to make money. They need to release their stuff before the competitors do it. Only very rarely security is implemented from day one.
When I've read the summary, I've thought the same thing: Somehow bibles are missing. Its impossible to imagine that the lord of the rings has more copies than there are bibles, or examples of the quran.
I think Microsoft does listen to its larger customers. If you made it to become a fortune 500 company, you might get your wish fulfilled. Otherwise not.
Having no windows makes this story as relevant for me as the UAE story today. Interesting to know that the freedoms I enjoy are not something everybody enjoys, but nothing really relevant for my everyday life.
To all windows users: you are always welcome here in the linux world. There is a place free for you!
The vultures, as in patent trolls. Nobody else will really benefit. The way you can benefit is to cash out when its still possible, then buy things that get undervalued as a result of the shock when the bubble bursts.
This "your precise location is never seen or handled by Google" is just manufactured truth. Yes, it is theoretically correct, but if the location is found using Wi-fi, then it must go over google's servers. Essentially the phone uploads the list of BSSIDs it sees and their strength, and google answers with a location. Its not the "exact" location, as that is a term used for GPS, but google does know and handle your non-exact location when you use their wifi service.

No, but you will have to sync your device with your google account so that they can find out which ad excites you and which doesn't.
Its called "silicon valley". Failure is considered something good there. If you fail, you learn how to build a bigger and better unicorn.

Yes someone has to pursuit you if you didn't pay your bribe money in time
Plus the headphone company can charge you $200 for your headphones instead of $30.

That's their business model since 40 years now and its working well.
I am most certain we had.

as long as VPNs aren't banned, it shouldn't be an issue, should it? Who trusts public WiFi anyway, anybody could spy on it.

So that everyone finds out about it and maybe patches it?
