I got copystriked on a perfectly legal video I uploaded. My options? Appeal and potentially have it (out of my control) escalate to fighting it in court. Me vs. The Pokemon Mofia.
No thanks. I know I already lost - even though I was well within my fair use rights. That's our legal system. It sucks. And the company wasn't even based in US, it was Japan.
...all we need to do is get it working on and compatible with iPhone/Android/Computers and then we can literally use any direct-communications protocol to transmit messages. (TCP/UDP/BlueTooth/Radio/SomethingNotInventedYet)
It'll be slower for sure, but if it could be game-ified somehow (like Pokemon Go), I'm certain we wouldn't have much of a problem with communicating messages - even over long distances.
Centralized infrastructure works until governance is outside the will of the people. And we're getting closer to that every day - the world over.

Did I mention DTN is already being investigated/implemented by NASA and has a potentially great role in emergency communications when infrastructure completely fails?
A simple, cheap, analogue adapter to convert between the different sizes will work pretty much as long as you're alive. How many USB / Firewire / VGA-Displayport / Apple digital standards that are 100% incompatible with each other have we had in the past 20 years?
Nobody wants USB-C headphones. We want universal headphones that work not just with cell phones and computers, but professional audio equipment, older audio equipment... and we want it to be near or at 100% compatibility for future audio products. Any digital interface is, by design, going to fail to meet the needs of the ones who purchase it.
I for one am glad it was nowhere to be seen.
This has nothing to do with Win 10 and everything to do with something is seriously wrong if it's taking weeks to copy a file..the kind of wrong that can happen to pretty much any OS if files get corrupted, or something wasn't set up right or if something was installed that shouldn't be installed or goofed (like an antivirus goofed up).
3 Weeks for 2GB is NOT typical for Windows file transfer. Reach out to your IT support, neighborhood nerd, computer shop, or forums - something is really wrong for it to take that long.
What operating system? Windows 10? 7? Home/Pro? Which update was the problem? KB4480960 or KB4480970 ?
Sorry for being bothersome - someone I know ran in to this issue last night and we were unable to figure out why RDP wasn't working for 1 computer in particular - the best we could do was a solid black display in RDP.
Spoofing is valid in certain scenarios and if you think spoofing is never valid - you've never worked in a call center or answering service and have no concept of the myriad of chaos that would be generated without spoofing. Keep in mind these call centers are generally working with the public.
So let's say a person calls in to a call center and agents are busy. The call is logged and an agent calls the customer back without call ID spoofing. That agent was very helpful and the customer was impressed - so much so that the customer saves their number as the contact for this company. The agent is now fully responsible for handling the customer - whether they are on vacation, move to a position in the company... and it's generally rude to call one person and have another person answer - so now customer service quality goes down in the eyes of the customer if:
- Agent is on vacation
- Agent is out sick.
- Agent is at the end of their day and hasn't gotten through all their voicemails.
- Agent is tired of working with people because the customers love them and are adding the agent to their direct contacts.
- Agent flips a table and walks out because other agents aren't doing anything and get sent home.
- Agent 2 replaces Agent 1 and customers are disappointed.
I mean, these are very real scenarios. Asking for companies to "deal with it" isn't answer. Customers can "deal" with cold-calls with spoofed numbers.
There has to be a better way then telling one party that this is entirely "their problem" because unrelated bad actors are taking advantage of the system.
I once considered firebase. But after looking in to it and discovering there was no way to remove mandatory Google-spying, I dropped it. If there's a way, feel free to reply with a link.:)
I reckon the same logic can be applied for taxes for this company too. It's a moral requirement for the federal government to make money.. by jacking up your corporate taxes by 400%.
And for non-Internet facing Internal websites? The ones that have no need of encryption whatsoever? Remember, this is for web standards going forward. So this isn't an immediate problem, but new web based features are going to get caught in this.
For example, if there's a new standard for, say, WebAR (Augmented Reality) and I want to make a webpage where my kids press buttons and different objects appear on their screens. The webpage MUST run over HTTPS. So I'd have to allow both my server and tablet access to the Internet. Or I'd have to manually import a certificate (Many mobile devices don't like doing that indefinitely - so now I'm teaching my kids to do that whenever they see that warning ANYWHERE online. What do they care if it is a website in my home or not?). Or maybe I'd have to run my own CA to authenticate my server to my devices.... it starts to get ugly and cumbersome when all I wanted to do was something fun for the kids.
...and this might be the one thing that gets me off the Firefox bandwagon as it is an incredibly backwards move. TONS of stuff does NOT need https and does not need the overhead HTTPS incurs both in processing time and certificate management.
Also, do I really need HTTPS for stuff on my trusted LAN? No? So now I have to jump through hoops to enable developer mode? Just... what are they thinking?
What is the recommended fork of Firefox these days? Pale Moon?
I hear you like links. So we link to an article that links to articles.
I take a different approach. Let's save a level of linking and get you directly to the information sources with videos and everything:

... doesn't Apple use delta updates? Or is my phone somehow magically updating faster than my brand-new $1800 PC can download through a wired ethernet connection?
Also:
https://developer.apple.com/li...
So yea, the initial download is huge, but the updates, specifically for Apple, are much, much smaller - depending on how much was changed in the update.

It's not PCI-E 4.0
It *was* my work. No one else made the derivative work. Thanks for trying to be helpful though.

I'd rather the website itself do this, rather than an untrustworthy company.
Correction: Nothing has changed for me at least. If you're page is hosted on AMP, I can't be bothered to give you the time of day or my money.
Are AMP hosted by google? If so, it's holding the website hostage to google spyware, therefore, really nothing has changed.

Quick! Everyone stop using Youtube so we can swing the apocalypse back into the hands of the creators.

The simplest and best answer to more intrusion in my personal life and data gathering.
I can the entire *.bot domain and won't have to worry as much about spyware and the ability of bots to use spyware.
I'm pretty sure the "leak" was the company collecting this information in the first place.
