They can't get the big names in their alternate store either since most of the big names are American and would likely be prohibited from supplying their software to the ZTE store under the sanctions.
Not to mention that Amazon probably has multiple copies of an item (from Amazon and from re-sellers) and the item the customer gets may not be the item the seller sent to Amazon (and may not even be identical to the item the seller sent to Amazon)
London is in the process of building a big new cross-city tunnel in the form of Crossrail. And they are building a new extention to the Northern Line and talking about other extentions.
Unlike New York, London doesn't have some of the problems (union demands for example) that make both new construction and existing system maintanence so expensive.
According to Wikipedia, Rayovac sold its battery division to Energizer in January (including the Varta brand which they bought at some point when the parent company went bust)
There are suggestions that these hacking devices don't break the encryption, they just defeat the anti-brute-force tricks and allow the devices to be brute forced.
If the devices don't actually defeat the encryption then a backdoor is the only way the FBI and other agencies can get into phones with passwords too strong to brute force.
Australia has been using chip-and-pin credit cards for years now, as has Europe and many other places. What is it about the US that makes card companies (Visa, MasterCard etc), banks and merchants so reluctant to introduce chip-and-pin in the US?
They should say that the US can come back into the TPP but only into the deal as it currently stands (i.e. the one that everyone else agreed to after removing a bunch of stuff that only really benefited a bunch of big US corporations)
This product http://safetyturtle.com/ claims to have been around since the late 90s and I am sure there are other similar wristband type products that detect pool ingress.
I wish I could afford to upgrade from my current GTX 750 to something better (mostly so I can use the Fallout 4 HD texture pack:) but all the cards that are suitable still cost more than all the bits I bought for my most recent upgrade combined (Skylake Core i5 CPU, Gigabyte motherboard, 8GB RAM, case, PSU)
This is about stopping all the device makers in China who are illegally copying the Google blobs and getting away with it because enforcing western IP laws in China is nearly impossible.
This isn't Google being evil. This is Google deciding to stop people who are violating its copyright by copying its apps without permission from doing so.
The question I have is, why isn't Google hitting these entities for copyright violation (take them to court and force them to stop selling devices with Google copyrighted binaries on there)
We need to see law changes to prevent this stuff from happening (where private equity scumbags buy a company, extract all the money they can and flog off the carcass to later go bust). Of course with Wall Street basically owning the US government these days, that will never happen (why do you think the government has thus far refused to listen to those experts who say they should restore the laws preventing banks from taking the big risks with customers money if they want to prevent GFC mk 2 in the future?)
If its a violation of the terms of service to do this stuff, then it should be fairly easy for Spotify to get SpotLister and these other services shut down (maybe make use of the overly broad overly vague CFAA to do it)
Why would TV networks, TV equipment (transmitter and receiver makers) and everyone else involved in TV (most of whom currently broadcast in either MPEG2 or MPEG4) want to adopt H.265 given the patent minefield it entails and the costs involved instead of pushing for open codecs like AV1? I dont think any networks (in the US at least) are broadcasting in H265/HEVC yet so there is no reason AV1 couldn't become the codec of choice for the next ATSC standard after MPEG2 and MPEG4... (unless there is either something specific about H265 that makes it suitable for TV transmission in a way AV1 is not or the H265 patent holders control enough of the TV industry in some way)
But that group doesn't include Qualcomm who make one of the most popular mobile SoCs on the market (Snapdragon) and its Adreno GPU (and whatever hardware video decoding the Snapdragon parts use these days). If Qualcomm doesn't get on board with AV1 then many Android devices simply wont have the support for it in hardware.
Steam (the largest digital store for PC games by a very wide margin) is the reason Microsoft wont succeed in conquering PC gaming in this way.
If they tried to stop Steam from running on Windows, they would be in trouble. Same if they tried to stop any Steam games from running or limited key APIs like DirectX to store apps only.
In the world of PC gaming, Valve and Gabe Newel are far more powerful than Microsoft (especially with SteamOS hanging in the background and increasingly becoming a usable alternative to Windows for Steam gaming if the games you want are on the SteamOS store)
There seem to be 3 kinds of licenses out there for jobs. There are licenses that you absolutely do want to exist (for example you most definitely should need a license to be a doctor or a lawyer or a pilot or a bus driver)
Then there are licenses that definitely should exist but where the things that require such a license go far too overboard. A requirement that someone doing electrical work have a license is a good thing (since it ensures they know how to make things safe) but too many cases exist where a "licensed electrician" is required to do something when it shouldn't be required (e.g. those stories of people needing an electrical ticket just to plug something into a power point in a conference hall). Plenty of other examples out there where this "over-licensing" exists. (those in the hair and beauty profession for example is one often cited)
And then there are licenses that shouldn't exist at all. Like the ridiculous idea that you should need a license to do computer repairs (a thing in some jurisdictions I believe) or that you need a license to be a tour guide or a carpenter. (also a thing in some jurisdictions)

If Intel was acting against AMD they wouldn't have just released the new Core i7-G parts with on-board Vega M GPU.
nVidia hates Intel and has done so ever since Intel stopped nVidia from being able to make chipsets for Intel CPUs.

I swear I saw something about using a treadmill that can move in every direction as a solution to VR movement in a confined space...
Did they ever provide the necessary APIs and hooks and other things to allow anti-virus vendors to properly monitor and check WSL processes?

These embedded web servers presumably dont even support TLS 1.3 so the dropping of the older crypto makes no difference for these devices.

Does America even import any cars made in China? Would an increase in the tariff to 25% make any difference?
What, you mean there is a bank on this planet that is actually WORSE than the Commonwealth Bank here in Australia?
