After a few articles showing companies demanding access to your social media or requiring you to link them your accounts for them to snoop. I deleted all of mine when I began job hunting in the I.T field. I didn't want a beer drinking picture with strippers to cost me a potential job.
With slamming Nexus 5, I received all updates on my current Nexus 5,7, 5x. So I'm not sure where he's gathering his information. The one who DOESN'T update is Samsung. My work Rugby LTE still sitting on original 4.4.1. Even after their promises to update when StageFrieght came out. Nada.
You paid for your phone? Vast majority of people upgrade for free to the newest/latest phone. I just went through this experience. Every store instantly push Apple/Samsung. 1st was always Apple, when I said I'm not a hipster, they turned to Samsung. I also declined Samsung because of my previous experience with their products. Every Samsung phone dies at the 14th month mark for me. S2 went through 4mobos in the year warranty. Rugby LTE same thing. S3 same thing.
When I asked for other models of phones they just kinda went "o well have some other brands here, not big sellers".
I was surprised how little stock they had with Nexus. Which has been fantastic for me.
I went to every store in the mall (there was a dozen), mostly to see if any of them throw in perks for buying. Like BestBuy gives you $100 in store credit. Not the greatest perk since they sell $1 cases (seen on eBay) for $30 bucks.
It takes me about the same amount of time to fill my VW Golf TDI and I can do about 1000 km. Oooor I could do the economic thing and install the conversion kit to it and run it off used cooking oil. About 3 cents a litre. Much better plan than electricity since the Hydro company prices have tripled in the last couple years.
LinkedIn has gotten away from what it was meant for. Now it's just someone posting "mind puzzles" or links to "do it your way" posts. Or Recruiters who get your info, with no jobs available and show how big their stable is to potential companies.
Job hunted on there for a year, used their premium. Not even a phone call.
Welfare already does that in Canada. Only issue is when rental cost is more than the govt gives you. Example as single person they give you $610. To rent just a room $600-650 (thanx to influx of students). So you get a room but no food.
That's exactly right. Talking with teenage cousins, they said it's uncool now because so many parents/grandparents are on it. That's actually the only reason I keep an active FB account, is to keep in touch with elderly relatives who play CandyCrush
Paid for OS yes. Have the optionto call said laptop company requesting refund for OS. Done it for 7 multiple times,done for 8 once. Suspect I will on my next laptop also.
Good call. I've been Debian since 03. With VirtualBox I was curious how the upgrade would go, what Windoze10 looked like, how it ran etc. I'm SO glad I only used a Virtual Machine, or I would of been PISSED having a failed upgrade and losing it all.
When it came out I thought hey lets see what the hub bub was about. Loaded up a VM with Windows 7. Proceeded to upgrade. End of upgrade.... failed, os unusable. Luckily it was only a VM on my Debian machine. Reinstalled 7 and said F 10. Although, it's been good $ of people willing to pay to reinstall 7 instead of 10.
Just because they're being taught on these devices, doesn't mean they're willing to learn new technology. Give an Apple person an Android (vice versa) and they give up the moment they don't know how to use it. Same goes with giving some Mac fanboy a Linux powered machine. The willingness to learn something new is difficult. Smug on their iPad yes, told to work on a govt XP Machine...lost.
I see this often in IT jobs, must know everything with 10 years exp in all of it (even if it's only been Around 5 years). I usually install it, toy with it so I can at least talk competently about it.
That sounds mighty odd. I've done upgrade all the way through MS over the years. Never has it touched all partitions. Usually it wants 1 maybe 2. I smell lawsuits coming.
I was just thinking that. If it installs on it's own, of course GRUB will be wiped out. You simply reinstall GRUB or update Grub and all is right in the world.
Seems like any time I see a crowd sourced idea that makes good $. Then goes belly up before production and someone walks away with a bag ($ on the side) full of cash
Lazy phone makers don't bother upgrading the OS on non flag ship models. Ya if you have a Nexus or a Samsung Galaxy you'll get the update. My Samsung Rugby (rugged) still using 4.4.2. Even when this bug dropped, everyone promised patches. Samsung said hey we released new phones. There's nobody forcing it to be patched on these unpatched phones.
They do this every console. Xbox, Xbox 360, now Xbox One. Once they fall behind in the market, Nintendo start making good ground MS gets desperate and cuts it's price drastically. I've never liked Xbox consoles because of their controller setup. But I also never bought one because of the high DOA from out of box.
I considered an Xbox Original, issues. Considered an Xbox 360, during price drop a few years back. Online store reviews were 1 out of 2 out of box were duds during sale. I simply have 0 trust from any MS product.
Also, I just think they have some sneaky trick up their sleeve to tie it in with 10 somehow.
Or USB stick. I have my laptop setup with a dead man. If the USB isn't inserted for decryption, laptop has another partition with an image. It reboots and begins reinstalling the OS. Checkmate.

Thays what you get anyway if you pay your carriers 6-10 bux a month for handset insurance. You get a refurbished model.
Spaghetti Monster is so last year. Alice Cooper for President is the way!

They tried the same nonsense up here in Canada with Bell. "Line protection". I said they installed the line, up to them to repair it.
I can't comment on what I don'tuse but thus far my Nexus 5 receives every update. +1 to Google.

Demonoid is still active. Not as good as it once was but it's there.
I can turn off Windows 10 install with Never10. Eat it MS
So their witch hunt for people using Proxy to gain access to the US Netflix is in the customers best interest?
It rolls back to Windows 7. The villagers rejoice
