Not to be outdone by the Navy, the army will go back to walking and emergency ration packs.
Those guys think they're going back to the basics but they are still sailing on their big modern ships with their fancy kitchens. We're real men, we're truly going back to the basics.
I have a story about Alexa doing something useful.
The other day I was comparing items on Amazon and I saw a link to Alexa. I clicked on it, decided that even if Amazon were to pay me to send me one for free I wouldn't want a spy in my house. So really, Alexa saved me from wasting USD$99 on a spying device.
Universal health care is about being decent human beings. Most first-world countries have it.
You guys have insane costs caused by letting corporations run your health care system so that needs to be fixed, but even lower costs could not be afforded by everyone. Your taxes are also wasted on the military, so fix that too and you'll have universal health care, universal income, ten times the budget for NASA, etc.
We sure as hell will notice. Imagine not being able to have news about all their pointless political debates, the hollow bickering of hollywood stars, the religious zealots, the anti-science morons, the multiple failed reboots from J.J. Abrams...
Hum...
On second thought, let them close their internet borders.
I guess the title "Net neutrality rollback will end the internet in the U.S.A. as we know it" makes it sound as if other countries could possibly be better, which is something you cannot tell to people living in that country. They'll either won't believe you or think you're lying to them.
Given that some U.S.A. companies are too lazy/cheap to have servers in Canada for their Canadian users, the FCC does control some part of our internet usage.
Nope, mid-2010 Mac mini. Officially the maximum is 8GB because when it was released the biggest SODIMMs available were 4GB. After an EFI update, the maximum went up to 16GB.
For what it's worth, my posts are made from a 2010 Mac mini, which in the past seven years had its RAM upgraded twice (from 2GB to 8GB, then to 16GB) and hard drives upgraded twice too (from 320GB to 750GB, then dropped the optical drive to add an SSD).
Under Tim Cook, it's "courage" and "wait until you see what we have in the future".
Problem is, I'm still using my 2010 Mac mini here and looking at the 2014 Mac mini, which is still the latest Mac mini model by the way, the future scares me.
Apple's solution is probably "buy a new Mac". Tim Cook said himself that Apple products are not for the rich so buying another $1000+ computer every year or two shouldn't be a problem for anyone.
Next up: Tim Cook doesn't understand the meaning of "rich" compared to the rest of the population.

I'm pretty sure most people know the morse code for the letters "O" and "S".
Someone's "basic" is another man's "above expert".

You bike can store 30 km/h of speed? That's weird, mine can store only about 12 kg/megabyte.
I learned that almost five decades ago.

That's a couple of years away.
Governments are slow to react and even slower to change and put regulations in place.
Except when it puts them in power, in which case laws are quickly scribbled, pushed and passed via expansive bribes in only a few weeks.
"We are from the government and we are here to help you."
"Trust no one".

This is not about letting the government control the internet.
This is about giving the government power to stop companies from trying to control the internet.

Infinitysimum?
Alternatives to anything is nice, but unless they're 100% compatible with the software your friends , co-workers and boss uses, it's pointless.
What do you mean? African expanded foam or European extruded foam?
This new version is "Skype: Next Generation".
The next version will be called "Skype: Deep Scan 9".
The following version will be called "Skype: Voyage into your Data".
The version after that will be called "Skype: We sell your Data to Enterprises".
And the final version will be "Skype: You've Discovered our Plan but it's Too Late".

No, that was the Steve Jobs' era.

There is no such thing as "macOS X". It was called Mac OS X before. The new name is macOS.
