Wow, US labour laws are fucked.
At first, I figured this was to prevent immigrant children from being forced to work the fields (that Kevin Costner high school running movie comes to mind), but now I just think of the Shawshank Redemption scene where the warden shakes down a local business to ensure cheaper labour doesn't take the private business' contracts.
Because you are incompetent. If you select and find your exact device in their database, all the fucking buttons are handled for you.
If the device wasn't in their database, you have the ability to learn all from your original remote. Unless you have something rare, or generic HTPC, you're doing it wrong or you are too stupid to use it.
Fuck you and anyone who thinks a smartphone is a replacement for a dedicated remote. It's fine for rare use and backup, but you can go fuck yourself if you think it's good enough for a daily driver.
You don't belong in this conversation.
Defective leaky caps ring a bell? $1000 motherboard replacement, in middle of third year after having two years of Applecare. Was also on the hook for getting to repair place, 10 hour drive away.
This was for my aunt to deal with when my cousin was away. Fuck Apple forever after that ass fucking.
I have my issues with harmony software, but you're fucking lazy if deleting a couple of inputs on your TV one time is a lot of manual work(30 seconds?). Talk to professional home theatre installer, they spend hours on customizing shit. The harmony is a fraction of that.
Then you also have shitty TV's if you need to cycle inputs instead of directly accessing the input you want. The software supports 3-4 methods of input selection, but I guess I don't buy shitty TV's.
You linked to your comment linking to a +5 funny joke. I have no fucking idea what point you were trying to make.
You are fucking insane and should be under supervision at all times.
Your trolling with bad spelling and caps is the most annoying part of Slashdot. It's "fantasy", not "phantasy", you fucking moron. You think your code is bug free? Dream on, you can't make a paragraph without errors.
Now do everyone a favour and fuck off.
A malicious bad actor just needs to take over one of the black lists used to feed your hosts shit and millions of people get infected. Are you checking 100k+ hosts entries?
Your belief that you're invulnerable is unfounded.
Stop fucking telling people to "see subject". Everyone else is a better reader/writer than you and you are the last fucking person in the world that should be telling people how to read.
Learn to write a fucking post. FFS.
There's no point arguing with someone cannot see the benefit of an aircraft carrier for a Country.
There's so many fucking benefits you really show how fucking dumb you are making this comparison.
What? Fuck no. All references to "he" is exactly understood as one thing, male.
You say shit like "they" or "them", if you want to be ambiguous.
I will give you, "Guys" can mean groups including female. But not fucking "he" .
Good luck. Until they die, there's new pictures you have to upload everyday. So instead of avoiding a couple of pics, you'll now become the world's expert having seen the most pictures of them.
Fucking idiot.
I worked on a board intended for a future prototype for a new revolutionary wireless widget. Various universities and heavy hitters from major tech company. High 7 digit budget.
The chip was DOA because one guy didn't connect (or misconnected) some SPI wires for a control block. Whole program, dead. Game changing technology that would be the future, killed by 3 wire mistake.
The designer copped to the mistake. How it was reviewed by NO ONE blows my mind.
Full disclosure, I made mistakes that resulted in blue wire ECO's to fix, all in area's I thought were double checked by colleagues that actually wasn't. But they were fixed with some labour and wire...
It really depends on how useful the test is. It was a fucking pain pulling out results from iperf summaries because the software is buggy and shitty. You might get same useful takeaway by looking at a screen shot instead of coding complex parsing so that the spreadsheet results aren't garbage. The screenshots may show the error where the automatic test may need to be ran again manually to find yet another new error not seen before.
It really depends on how much effort and benefit you get from either approach. Anything that will be tested for years, spend the time and effort on a proper test harness.
And you'd be wrong. In a similar situation where a popular computer shopping site gets overwhelmed during sales, it was the underpowered servers that took so long to process orders, duplicate orders were outside of a time check limit intended to prevent it. If the code can't run in any sort of reasonable predictable time frame, the developer is fucked.
Fault was on IT for having far below spec servers.
So when I reported a bug that was a result of an accidental double click on submit, the developer quickly confirmed it as an accidental double click.
So I said, "can you make the button so that once you click it, it's greyed out so that the user knows it happened and the submit isn't engaged twice?". He says, "yeah, easily". So he makes the change, I test it and it works in several browsers and it gets released. 2 hours of time to prevent all kinds of hassle for us and the tens of thousands of customers.
That's typical fucking QA. Find and fix problems before the customer sees them. Customers don't have a tolerance for finding bugs. I certainly don't (unless I'm being paid for it and not inconvenienced for something I'm paying for.)
I'm always amazed how stupid and naive these people are that believe this. Developers need to QA the things a separate, dedicated QA tester can't easily. The QA guy needs to test from a customer perspective, finding new and imaginative ways to be stupid. My takeaway is that your developers are cheap and shitty.
Fuck, just testing on a full blown, high-core, high memory PC will often hide bugs found on cheap office PC's not running SSD's and shit.
Full disclosure, I primarily work in QA, and routinely complimented on my ability to find bugs and break things in ways the developer couldn't.
Slashdot Mirror
If you have macro virii in TRUSTED network locations, you've already failed and not Words fault. By default, you can't run that shit.

So, just demonstrate being an idiot, instead? (You fucked up "you're")

What the fuck are you talking about? Go away, let the adults talk.

It's the law to inform the people you may have infected them with an STD, no? Otherwise, what kind of asshole are you?

NXP make FPGA's that are used in many itar projects. It's more of an issue with people.

iOS 11 introduced the feature, "closet reveal". The 3D scanner has a Gaydar plugin.
Legendary Apple QA.
