In what world do you live in that the monetization features on popular mainstream electronic devices are turned off by default?! Even Apple gives you a unique Advertising Identifier by default.
You'll have to take my Pebble from my cold, dead hands before I give it up. The timers, alarms, reminders, calendar, and Caller ID on my wrist are all too useful to give up.
I'm looking for a tablet for my father who is hard-of-hearing. He would greatly benefit from Google's new live transcription app. What tablet would you get for between $100 and $200 that comes with a ROM that is or can run a ROM that is stock like what Google shipped Nexus 7 tablet with?
They routinely run out of space due mostly to just Windows files. I see it happen often. I have to routinely use Disk Cleanup on my 120 GB machine for the same reason.

This. Very much this. S Mode takes a laptop and makes it more like an iPhone or iPad - a consistent platform for control and management, but missing compatibility for custom and legacy apps, and that's a huge thing for businesses.
It's practically Windows RT all over again: the user's restricted to Windows Store apps, plus a number of other restrictions, plus a number of inherent limitations ( such as no 64-bit apps - they don't work).
Windows 10 in S mode is good for enterprise manageability because S Mode would make every box consistent and controllable. And UWP apps are good from a security standpoint because they are sandboxed and more tightly controlled than Win32 apps.
But on the other hand, Windows 10 in S Mode means giving up your right to choose what code you wish to run on your computer, handing over control to Microsoft, and living in a walled garden built by Microsoft.
Is a pre-sale question a "problem"? I thought the report was about tech support, but it instead is about sales support/customer service: "each customer's journey to a sale", "as customers decide to buy".
Straight from Sony: "we have completed a thorough analysis of the business mechanics required... (Emphasis mine) The money calculus for it being profitable for them to block the Fortnite Xbox and Switch crossplay must have shifted.
I'd like to know if the Lazy Loading function of deferring loading images and third-party iframes on the page until the user scrolls near them breaks Ctrl+F/"find in page".
Google had to re-do "Print" and "Save Page As" in order to support Lazy Loading. Did they also make Ctrl+F work or not?
I think that is a misunderstanding of what b5 means/is for.
Suppose that there is a lawsuit against the FCC (that's a stretch, right?/s). Suppose that the plaintiff files for discovery. That--discovery--means that the FCC has to turn over materials related to the lawsuit. At this point, this is where the misunderstanding may lie.
You see, b5 does not mean that materials that would be turned over in discovery are exempt from FOIA. Actually iB5 says that materials that are protected by privilege and therefore would be protected from having to being turned over in discovery are are also protected from being released under FOIA--because they are protected under privilege*.
I've always thought it was weird that they pay a flat fee because usually the more a work is viewed, the more money it pulls in via ticket sales, DVD sales, book sales, etc. But I see now why that would sense for them: paying a flat fee appears to make accounting easier for Netflix and they get to count content as assets. I didn't know that they did that - count content as assets.
As for the comment by another about how Wikipedia defines a computer, well, I yield to the perfection of technical documentation that is Wikipedia. I shall ignore every CS class I've had that provides a useful definition and carry the Wiki-flag to my grave.
This has been an interesting discussion. I'm not sure I stand by my original statement above. This discussion has thrown the whole PC/iPad/Laptop/Computer thing upside down for me, sent it awash in mind in an amalgam of:
Disdain for snotty hipsters
Disdain for over priced fashion-piece electronics
Rage against the consumerist machine
Furor over the shackles of a walled garden and closed ecosystem
A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out arbitrary sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. The iPad is not a computer because it is very restricted/limited (apps are restricted to the walled garden of Apple's App Store for example).
I think so. My mechanic said to me that reviews on Google have much more of an impact on his business. That said, some people won't change and still use Yelp, just like someone I know won't change and still uses Yahoo Mail, and to those people, your Yelp rating matters.

I hope that Intel doesn't go and try to screw this up by suing like they threatened to.

A never ending $5 a month for the privilege of leasing the equivalent of a Roku or Apple TV. This, when Rokus are $30-$40 to own. LOL, nope.

It was. it was replaced by "Windows 10 in S Mode".

Ah, but what about text in third party iframes?

Does that make sense?

This is still a big change without warning though.

Do you have a source that says that Netflix pays per play?
It's crazy; it was originally written as a series of Tweets!
The user, renter, lessee if you will, cannot always programme.
I agree with your sentiment. Shades of Stallman here.

No need. I repudiate my earlier claim. Cheers!

Because you feel so strongly about this you better go edit Wikipedia then because that is what it says.

Let me know when you've made the edit.
A 'tablet' is actually a 'tablet computer'.
I disagree.
A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out arbitrary sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. The iPad is not a computer because it is very restricted/limited (apps are restricted to the walled garden of Apple's App Store for example).
