Is there another display that has dumped the "smart" crapfest and offloaded that intolerable devices that will actually get updates and users can customize?
Honest question because this seems like the ideal device for people who get tech and want a 4K device. My current "TV" is a 1080p dumb Vizio with a Chromecast sticking out the side and I've had no interest in "upgrading" to the aforementioned crapfest.
A new product category in consumer tech is certainly noteworthy.
Which is why Apple should oppose a motion to dismiss. It's "go big" but the only other option is "go home".
Apple can afford the fight but it cannot afford not to fight. Anything less than "dismissed with prejudice" is a loss, legall.
At least their PR might have been bolstered. I hate to say it, but if the iPhone 7 rejects unapproved signed firmware, I might actually buy one of the damn things.
I can't wait for essentially unlimited energy. It might be wind+solar but I'm betting on safe forms of nuclear power within a century of now.
The gating factor will be the amount of investment into R&D and that depends on total wealth created, to enable the excess available foe investment. Right now that's roughly proportinal to total fossil fuel burned (productively, of course).
The very best that could be done for the environment would be to get rid of all the punitive energy taxes, all the free trade barriers, the migration barriers, and all the economic regulations that stifle wealth creation and create a massive wealth surge that will power the R&D we need to get over that hump.
The incentives are and will always exist for less expensive energy, so as long as the science isn't suppressed, and we don't think everything that will be invented has been, the path is clear.
But go ahead and tax the hell out of everything, crush progress, and act all surprised when people are still burning dung in huts in a hundred years. That's not the future most of us want, except for these whacky arch-conservatives who want to freeze time at 1970.
I read elsewhere they netted about $8M last year. Nobody sane will lend them $50M if they they are facing punitive damages still and were last sold for $200M. This might well bankrupt the corporation (though the brand would be sold in liquidation). I don't think Hulk will see that much money.
Victim-blaming is the worst sort of lazy thinking. I'm not gonna sweep my room for bugs every night, and nobody should have to. Apologizing for illicit voyeurism is just creepy.
My spine shape problem, acquired through 20 years of sitting desks, was solved with chiropractic work and traction (the before and after xrays are impressive). But the speed of progress greatly improved when I built a standing desk Not adjustable or anything - the display frame is just metal channel from the electrical aisle, but with an anti-fatigue mat it's decent for up to twelve hours.
BART already tweeted the reason [nytimes.com] behind the breakdowns:
That's not a reason - it's a complaint (and a beg for more money). Maybe they do need more money, but if the cause of the surges remains a mystery, then by definition they don't know the reason.
I'm sure they don't have any SCADA systems exposed to the Internet (right?), but "old stuff" is just a guess. And there are some good "old stuff" guesses elsewhere on this story.
Seriously? My UID is so high because when they added user accounts, I figured that non-anonymous stuff was bullshit for a while. I think it was when they added a few sign-in plums (no need to preview, shorter posting delay) that I finally signed up for an account.
Furthermore, what is the benefit of destroying Trump right now when the GOP nomination contest is still officially undecided?
It would benefit, primarily, the Republican (/Democrat) political Establishment.
I don't like the guy, nor think he would be a good President (many of his views are counter to mine, and I think he's usually lying about everything) but I did learn a lot about his background from this video which seems to be pretty tight on the facts (obviously some opinion and bias, but that's life). If anybody in Anonymous is reading this, please try to find the patience to sit still long enough to listen to it, and understand why the Establishment hates him so very much. Stick it in a background tab and do something else if you have to, but try to get away from the MSM accounts of all of the candidates. Cruz is universally reviled and dangerous, from the Rove camp - think about the consequences of your actions. Hillary is going to be indicted, Bernie would govern from his feelz, and McAfee doesn't stand a chance under Duverger's Law (oddly enough, the 70-year-old drug-grizzled sex maniac appears to be the least insane of all of them).
Governments do all those things and it's legal because they say it is.
It can be stated simply that "government" is an organization that is exempt from the ethics of a society.
Otherwise it'd just be a club, or a business. The question a considered person must ask himself is, "if our ethics are good, why do we need an exception, or if we need an exception, are ours ethics sufficiently univeralized?" n.b. government schools don't teach philosophy in K-12; who really needs to learn how to think?
This would mean even playing games that use fictional currency would be illegal, wouldn't it?
Yeah - when I testified on a similar bill in my State, I pointed out that their language puts the banking department in charge of WoW gold.
The bureaucrat who was there said, "nuh-uh". They had no clue about the blockchain or anything else to demonstrate any competency in the field. So, of course they want to be in charge.
And people wonder why they're pushing Windows 10 so hard, so fast - everybody's going to be upgraded before the government starts making noise; at that point they'll just decide it's too late to do anything about it and drop the matter. Or maybe settle for 1.35 million dollars...
Or we could do like Switzerland - put a military rifle and trainee in every household in the outer cantons and then just never get involved in wars for a couple hundred years (not even Hitler was foolish enough to try to take Switzerland) . Spend those trillions elsewhere.
They don't seem to have a need to glassify the rest of the planet. Maybe that's not such an unhealthy attitude. Heck, the USG can't even beat the Taliban, and all they have are small arms.
A man walks down the street, It's a street in a strange world. Maybe it's the Third World, Maybe it's his first time around. He doesn't speak the language, He holds no currency, He is a foreign man, He is surrounded by the sound. The sound Cattle in the marketplace, Scatterlings and orphanages. He looks around, around, He sees angels in the architecture. Spinning in infinity, He says Amen! and Hallelujah!

It's such a pain to have different passwords for everything.
>no one has the money or incentive
Sounds like the incentives are approaching very quickly.

Side effects? Leg muscles, bitches.

Their own Senator plans to leave a smoking crater where the Valley was. Maybe they can plant orchards again.

This is probably easier now with systems that have firewalld - which is becoming more standard. How much you willing to pay exactly?

Privacy is a good to many people, not just a principle. The new technical security features in Win 10 only help when the attacker isn't Microsoft.
Don't we all have cron jobs to scrub our zpools?

There's a good ACLU piece this week talking tech about why the FBI is lying.
A man walks down the street,
It's a street in a strange world.
Maybe it's the Third World,
Maybe it's his first time around.
He doesn't speak the language,
He holds no currency,
He is a foreign man,
He is surrounded by the sound.
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace,
Scatterlings and orphanages.
He looks around, around,
He sees angels in the architecture.
Spinning in infinity,
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
The People weren't even parties to the 1789 Constitution - the States were. So don't read too much into the preamble - it's wrong by word #3.
No wonder Jefferson wanted it to expire after 19 years.
