Well vPro isn't a BIOS setting. There isn't any setting in the BIOS that you can use to enable or disable it. It's something the manufacturer configures at the factory, and once it's disabled, it's impossible to enable it. At least that's what they say...
When I ordered my laptop from HP a couple years ago, the system configuration page had an option to either enable or disable vPro. I chose to disable vPro, which means I don't have SOL. I remember Dell also giving you that option on their web site.
I put everything in a custom list, and that list is sorted automatically most recent at the top, and they don't exclude anything. The newsfeed is for clueless people.
Supposing you have a machine that's hasn't been offline and not been updated for some time and then you connect to the internet and try to update it. Windows update is so slow and installs the updates in no special order - least important first, so Wannacry is going to get to you before Windows update has a chance to install that patch.
Not if you're behind a router and you don't open any suspicious emails while it's updating. From what I remember reading (I could be wrong), you only get infected from certain open ports or opening infected emails.
I configured my laptop to have vPro disabled, so I know that means AMT was also disabled. Do you have a citation that says this ME is also part of vPro?
Wouldn't work when all the devs are forced to log into something like Hipchat, where a popup notification happens every time someone types in something, so that I might get interrupted by a popup over a hundred times a day.
When I was looking at buying a Dell or HP laptop a couple years ago, they both gave me the choice of disabling vPro. AMT is a subset of vPro. So you could disable it if you wanted. Not sure why anyone would choose to have it enabled. And from what I've read, if you have them disable vPro at the factory, it's not possible to enable it later.
Wrong. My 2011 MacBook Pro had to be repaired twice under the extended warranty for the GPU overheating problem. Now that the extended warranty is over, it's only a matter of time before the GPU dies again and I'm SOL. Looking on the forums, it's not just the 2011 model that overheats. I'll never buy another MBP again.
I have been an iPhone user since 2008 though, haven't had any issues there.
I was on AT&T for several years. They were generally reliable, although couldn't get a signal in a few areas near me, and the speed was not very fast. So I switched to T-Mobile's unlimited plan this year. They were faster than AT&T and pretty good signal wise, except at my office where I get no signal at all. So I had to switch to Verizon. Initially the signal seemed good everywhere and speeds seemed decent, but generally not as fast as T-Mobile. But after a few weeks, the LTE signal at my home has become very intermittent - it frequently drops to 3G and even 1X sometimes. Not a big deal as I can use Wifi at home (although Comcast at home frequently has problems so it'd be nice if I could use the mobile hotspot). If T-Mobile ever upgrades their network near my office, then I will definitely switch back to them.
I left AT&T due to spotty coverage. I tried out T-Mobile and they had great coverage except in 1 spot - my office, which is pretty important. So I switched to Verizon, which has OK coverage at work and poor coverage at my home. T-Mobile's CTO, who replies on twitter, told me they'd be upgrading their network near my office next year. If it happens, I'd switch back to them in a heartbeat.

As a HipChat user, I don't think it's possible for Slack to be as bad as HipChat.
What if you can only connect to a slow 2G or 3G data link if you can't connect to the higher speed link?

when they drastically changed their web site into one of those annoying infinite scrolling sites with stupid videos all over the place.
Not 'we' as in the slashdot collective.
To further clarify, it's not pronounced "wee chi", it's pronounced "way chi", so he's wrong on both syllables.
You're fired.

The thing that would allow a single poorly programmed application to freeze the entire OS?

So what's the best lossless format nowadays?
Is it possible to short Bitcoin?

They said "technologies being tested in the program include advanced guidance, navigation and control" but they left out "of other satellites".

easy money?
Try searching for every single thing you highlighted in a print book, without flipping through every single page. You can't.
You can easily do those things with an ebook.
I was told by a more experienced software engineer the following:
Double the number, and increment the units.
Therefore, if the developer estimates 3 weeks, then it will really take 6 months.

That's what happens when you lose subscribers. Less people to hate you.
