I don't think google doing something like this would be right. Two wrongs, and all that...
They should, instead, have a smarter gadget. Or require me to press a button before listening.
I miss the feeling of extra power that gave on my family 386/66. Though I know that, more accurately, it was there for deliberate slowing down (to 33MHz in my case!) when it was off.
loading programs from cassette I don't miss one bit. "IO Error" was more common that an actual load on my old CoCo!
To your point ("BS"): the reason your "Large European City" is not included in the ban on larger electronics in hand luggage could be related to the fact that they have you power devices on, as you state.
This is a good question- its one I had myself after I had been using only Thunderbird for about a decade. Then I changed platforms and used some other clients, and recently came back to Thunderbird because my main machine died. I have to say that Thunderbird need work. Two items I noticed:
1) proper threading. Lets face it, the gmail "chat style" presentation is actually very good compared with digging through "sent" or separate mboxes 2) better integration with calendar/reminders/todos
Thunderbird is still a good client, and it is particularly good at fine-grained control (compare the number of available settings with the number in the Win10 mail client- the latter looks like a toy). However, it can be improved and brought up to date with new ideas that are now common currency in mail clients.
I think you have a good comparison, but I was wondering about the relative portability. Oryx: 15.2 × 10.7 × 1.1, 5.50lbs; MacBook Pro 15, 13.75" x 9.48" x 0.61", 4.02lbs. Though I don't think the Oryx is unmanageable, and I do think Apple might go to far looking for thin-ness, I have to give the MacBook Pro the edge on size.
..to keep your data on your own machines. In that case the "delete" bug is the more usual variety, where files are accidentally lost or clobbered. These cloud providers are all upside down!
I believe Google that their search results reflect content (perhaps popular content) on the www. The worst part of the story is what this means for the state of content on the world wide web. We thought we would have an information panacea, instead we are ending up with a sewer.
I wonder why this disclosure was made now. TFV mentions that "forensic experts" have just come up with this information. Should two major breaches like this in such a short time with delayed reporting mean the death penalty for Yahoo! ? Seems to indicate major incompetence.
I must be outnumbered in the general public- I really like the headphone jack on my phone and use it almost daily. It sure looks like here on/. I am not alone. Somehow these big companies must have concluded that most customers don't feel the same way.
does anyone have any suggestions for which factors might be responsible for this? Some new feature in PCs that is making new ones interesting again? Simple turn-over (5-8 yr old machines failing and being decomissioned/replaced)? Other?
You are on to something. I would only add that blue collar workers used to have a way to counter such measures, but they have been leaving unions for decades.
I agree. The bad thing is that this level of neglect from Apple does not suggest a long future for any apps you buy through the Mac App Store and, perhaps, the Mac platform itself. Interesting take.
This raises another interesting question: if a company has your personal information/data, are they obliged to provide you access to it? I am guessing that there are no laws about this, rather that obligations are laid out in the EULAs. Suddenly the idea of keeping ones own data on ones own machine in order to be sure of access seems wiser than ever. Especially in light of this story and the earlier one about folks losing access to their data due to rule-breaking.
Interesting also to note that the same company is involved in both cases. Perhaps Google is not reliable? I think between these and service shutdowns the case could reasonably be made that it is not.
Don't rely on an advertising firm to care about your online identity, data or access, folks!

you can try this: http://download.wsusoffline.ne... its worked for me before. Good luck!
Agree on that! Blade runner was a classic.

Thank you! I believe you hit the nail on the head, as has Sir Tim. Unfortunate, but not surprising, that FSF took the narrow and unproductive view.

at least going by Verizon's previous shopping spree. They might be "altabad"! (also, I propose we verbify "altaba").
..seems to me our collective hands full enough teaching kids to read.
..those wikileaks folks were just a bunch of nice guys.
If diesel cars are worse than busses per km driven, imagine how much worse they must be per km per passenger (or per km per kg).
I have been waiting to pay my ransomware at just such a moment! I just need to hurry an
You are right! After this, I am delighted to use Windows 10- it looks much better than it did before I read this story (!)

this. out of frying pan, into fire. All seems pretty silly.
