After capturing the data, you can edit the data to make sure Excel's image recognition is 100% accurate
Obviously the point is that the image recognition is NOT 100% accurate, otherwise you wouldn't need to edit the data. Otherwise my 2002 Volvo is a self-driving car, notwithstanding the minor course corrections I need to constantly make to make sure its self-driving capability is 100% accurate.
When I updated a laptop to Windows 7, the trackpad started working at ninety degrees to the screen. So up became left, left become down, etc. Just the level of quality control I've become used to.
I was pretty annoyed to buy a brand new Epson label printer for use with iOS, and LESS THAN A WEEK later, iOS was updated and the damn app stopped working.
It's not like this was totally unpredictable to the developer, or something that would be even vaguely difficult for them to plan for. Apple (and all other O/S vendors) make betas available for months before releasing updates, so why the developer couldn't be bothered to test their app on the beta and rebuild if necessary is beyond me.
Of course, I submitted a support case to Epson; they told me they'd get back to me, and never even bothered. A month or so later they finally pulled their finger out of their ass and updated the app, at which point my printer had been not working for about 4 times longer than it'd been working.
When I was a physics teacher I had an ongoing memory error problem with my Fujitsu Siemens laptop which led to frequent BSOD. I replaced the memory, and it still occurred. I then noticed the memory error happened frequently at work, but never at home.
I wondered whether it could be a radiation issue, as I handled radioactive sources at my desk. I got my tech to do a leak check on my desk. It showed there was higher-than-background levels of radiation (can't recall whether alpha or beta) around my desk. This only showed up using a fairly decent G-M tube which had been given to us by the local hospital when they were having a clearout.
Turns out the source of radiation was dust from a piece of fossilised wood I'd picked up some time previously. It had been sitting on my desk and zapping my laptop's memory. I sealed the fossil in a Ziplock bag and kept it in a Quality Street tin. The problem never recurred.
Rather than Yahoo Mail being a particular attack vector for ransomware, is it not more likely that users who use a relatively old and unsophisticated email service are also more likely to indiscriminately click through on a dodgy email?
The risk isn't meltdown - it's emergency shutdown. Did you read TFS?
Actually, according to TFA, the risk is reduced ability of the emergency cooling systems to operate. This is basically what happened in Fukushima, and it led to something much worse than emergency shutdown.
OK, this reads like trollbait, but I'll bite.
So a vendor identifies a bug in an old O/S running on old hardware, and rather than fix it in the old O/S, they roll the fix into a new O/S.
You're complaining that Apple wouldn't spend engineering time fixing an obscure bug on an old O/S running on obsolete hardware, in order that you could print out receipts for a restaurant.
Pushing updates to software running on an old O/S is not the same us updating the O/S.
Should I be bitching about Microsoft if there's a bug in Win 3.1 which they've fixed in Win 10, but I can't run Win 10 on my 386 hardware? After all, they've updated Word since then, and THAT runs on Windows 3.1, so clearly they're not to be trusted.
Not surprisingly/.ers are irate, but it won't matter a jot to MS.
Leaving the corporate world aside, most domestic Windows users aren't those in the know. They're families, students and old ladies who don't know how to turn off updates, don't know how to turn of ads, but more importantly, have been conditioned into thinking that Windows is the only option if you want a home computer.
Back in the 1970s/80s, people in the UK actually bought Austin Allegros, which were an unmitigated fiasco of a car, but your average car buyer never really went through the process of thinking maybe there was something better out there.
The article at the root of this raises some interesting points.
I've just traded my 2008 Volvo for a 2002 model, partly because of the reduced complexity. The 2008 had an additive tank (for emissions reasons) that cost me £250 to get refilled when it ran out; the 2002 is of a generation with less need for complications which are expensive to service.

And in other news, researchers find ursine mammals typically defaecate in arborial landscapes.
The IMEI is printed on the back of the phone.
There's a difference between mass and rest mass.
An alternative would be to actually watch the film, where you'll learn that he regularly topped up the phone (and did watch porn).
They can basically do whatever the hell they want and people still buy the stupid operating system. They're the Donald Trump of the software world.

There's this cool site called Google where you can find stuff like this out. It takes seconds. Turns out it's not a complete number but has a 2 in it.

Shat upon. What was shat upon.
40 dollars is enough for an attacker to take full control of a $30,000 drone
That's quite a decent ROI, even allowing for depreciation.
possible hardware failures/breakage
Maybe I'm being naive here, but has anybody actually experienced hardware failure through Beta testing?

Just tried my Office 2011 install under El Cap, having slightly panicked at your post, and have had no problems at all, thank goodness.
