I actively avoid updates because my carrier uses them to install new, uninstallable crap that I don't want.
And yes, I understand exactly what I'm doing when I don't accept them. I don't bank on my phone, so the worst an attacker could do is get into my social media accounts.
My carrier is a bigger threat to me than this attack.
If you're paying for something that doesn't give you what you want, and something is cheaper that *does* give you what you want, a non-zero number of people will take the route of getting what they want.
Not that I'm particularly fond of the Trump family, but as a non-American, I have to ask....
Isn't the "job" of the First Family to be mindless publicity whores?
Mrs. Obama told kids what to eat for lunch. That seems on par with Ms. Trump taking a programming course.
You have the president as a family member, try to spend the next 4-8 years without a visible drug problem and maybe do something that some preschoolers can copy once in a while.
I'd say it's a very small secondary concern compared to the size of the battery.
They've proven they can do fast charging right in many models. It's not a complicated process.
The only possible reason to not fast-charge would be if your battery was crammed into a compartment far too small for it, at which point you don't "not fast charge", you fix the ridiculous size issue.
How long until the police realize that every single hard drive in existence has a secret OneTimePad that they can "brute force" that will prove it's full of child porn?
"The search warrant has been issued for his disks"
The police are currently able to search his disks as much as they'd like. The numbers and letters on it just don't make a whole lot of sense.
If he had a cardboard box filled with a bunch of papers that were in some other language that nobody could recognize, could the judge order him to sit down and translate those letters for the prosecution?
Pre-program it to lift off, fly west a mile, and zip around. They'll either blow it up or ignore it.
Once they start ignoring them, attach a package, give it a camera and basic recognition, and have it fly to anything with wheels. Or whatever costs more than the drone itself.

Everybody should be using adblock anyway.
And if they're not using adblock, why should you be the only one not getting a few bucks out of their browsing?
It's worse than that.

And would he want a different app running for every sensor in his home? Or should they use existing tech, and maybe just send him an SMS or email?
Maybe you just don't hear enough about all the R&D because they're not paying enough to their marketing department. ...It could happen.
Free users pay by listening to ads. They are now getting less value for their payment.
Pay users pay with money. They are receiving no extra benefit.
The entire point is that the free users are getting less than before. They are not getting immediate access to new songs.
It is the paying users that are getting nothing.
No, he's saying some people will.
And he's right.

"Unless a standard user decides they like the service and want to pay for premium membership, then they are basically just an overhead"
Spotify plays an annoying number of ads for no reason then.
I thought ESPN had wormed their way into every deal so that even if you didn't want them, you were getting them.
Wouldn't they then be one of the ones 'most' affected by random people cutting the cord?
If more people blindly voted, you'd have the exact same president and it would be even harder for the people that gave a crap to make a difference.
The last thing you want is a bunch of people going down and checking the box next to the name with the bigger advertising budget.
I'm not familiar with Santa Monica Pier, but I assume it's a pier.
Children should be monitored around piers, in theory.
People who die quickly at 50 are way better for society's budget than those that live to 100.

Get a FMCB memory card done up and use them without drives.

That's highly dependent on the woodening process.
So these high-priced, low-capacity drives are meant to fill the need for low-priced, high-capacity drives?
Shouldn't the summary at least attempt to fill in the gaps here?
Why would it matter if you trickle-charged your way to a fire or super-charged your way there?
The problem was with the battery size.
Who in their right mind would "not" make the charging process as efficient as possible?
Are you suggesting they should stop trying to match their own fast-charging that works perfectly fine for the S6 (which I have), and likely others?
To what end?
Would a properly maintained hosts file have helped prevent this from happening to him?
To a lesser extent, try ordering flash storage off Amazon.
You can still find the real stuff, but any random person that doesn't know what the check will most likely get garbage.

Why bother communicating with the drone?
