active devices =\= iphones.
You should probably exclude the users in china (Pretty sure that that number is significant)
and even after that, you are telling me that 1/7 people in the world use an iphone?
Also, thought USP for apple was that it cared about your privacy, whatever happened to that?
You are all wrong. As much I want apple to crash and burn, Indians (living in India) love it and consider it as status symbol (dont ask me why, damned if I know)
Median income is not a good metric, on average someone IT need to save 2-6 months salary to get new iphone and many are stupid enough to do just that, and we have lot of people in IT.
In not so old days to replace battery you needed no tools or in a worst case a screw driver. Now you need special tool, other crap and 30 minutes - what a waste.
Also in the not so old days, mobile phones were as big as bricks, it is the cost of miniaturization, deal with it.
I understand how that sounded like a good idea in your head, trust me, it is a slippery slope. News and ad board campaigns to teach the public is a better solution imho.
Also, enough posts about trump making asinine comments, it stopped being funny in 2016. I am outside US, I am sick of comment section filled with right vs left.
I recently started getting pop-ups from YouTube, requesting me to sign-up for an "Ad-free YouTube experience." You guessed it right; yes, they wanted a credit card while signing up.
Then I later learnt that to get an enhanced YouTube, (one in which video remains visible even as I scroll through comments), I needed to provide a credit card.
Google are becoming greedy, and I don not like it very much.
yeah, these fucking corporates, bothering me with ads while I am using their service for free...
Also, I am kinda scared how easy it is to infect libraries. We were lucky this time, people start enforcing package locks and npm audits. Make that shit mandatory.
on an unrelated note, Bitcoin ain't the only crypto in town, heard EOS has implemented some mechanism to recover stuff, too lazy to search and post links here.
All this does is highlight one of the many the serious problems relating to cryptocurrency.
I dont think this problem can be restricted to cryptocurrencies, my lastpass account behaves in a similar fashion. If I forget the password, all my 150 account passwords are gone. My account is very very secure, no one can hack into it and the price for it is me acting like an adult and storing private keys properly.
What I am trying to say is, this applies to any proper encrypted stuff. If you lose the key and have no proper restore mechanism, it is your fault.
"Solo" began opening in previews on Thursday night in North America, with forecasts of an debut weekend of $130 million to $150 million
Dream on. Foreign box office totals have been grisly so far.
A lot of people don't realize how severely The Last Jedi harmed the franchise as a whole by souring audience expectations (and it won't get fixed before this Boba Fett flick, if ever).
One day I would understand why people hate The Last Jedi, I really enjoyed it.
you are making some huge claims, I am not disputing, asking just to increase my knowledge, can you give me proof as to which other countries extort 100+ million dollars over look and button placement?
Yes! As the other poster said, account database dumps are commonly broken through brute force attempts. The tools to reverse hashes are not some "super secret cracker-only-thing either, hashcat is the best password-hash reversing brute force tool. It's free and open source and on the right hardware can have amazingly, absurdly, performant performance.
sounds like too much work, can't we just extract them from system logs. For some reason (god knows why), writing passwords into logs seem to be a trend now.
when people in a (former) tech news site don't know that there is difference between blockchain and bitcoin, and not all blockchain ledgers need Proof of Work (aka mining) for consensus.
when was the last time you donated to Mozilla? Good code doesn't write itself... their first priority is users, plus you can always change your search engines. From what I understand, they defaulted back to google because that's what people requested.
Google is trying to kill competition from upstart decentralized competitors. I have been renting out my free hard drive and getting paid in storj (there is also filecoin, sia, maidsafe but I haven't tested those), really easy to setup as well. Finally a working product/use case for cryptocurrencies.
not going to fall for the Zucker, or AngryCoin, or whatever bilious nonsense scheme they are into here. all cryptocurrency is a scam, existing only to buy crap on the darknet. I don't intend to friend Tor, either.
sigh... you do know that all transactions in bitcoin ( and most other crypto) are open and everyone can see everything right?

I understand that Javascript is evil/slow/only for soyboys and "real" programmers use QT (or some other equivalent hell)... but remember thanks to Electron, writing Desktop UI is no longer shitty, most of the heavy lifting for cross-platform is taken care of, and most importantly, developers get more time to do shit that matters. Yes, it does mean memory hungry programs, but thats an evil I can live with especially when I am getting something for free.
P.S: I am allowed to make soyboy comment bec I am vegan

I mean, are we going to provide a platform and help popularize charlatans and conmen making tall claims? This way, they win even when they fail.
It is one thing if he managed the stunt, but this, smh.
so you are happy in letting them decide what you can and cannot have on your phone?

Yeah, let's all reinvent the wheel or roll own own crypto like iota.

you are breaking critical news a day late.
bots/algorithms make mistakes, get over it.
can't this be solved by putting booking kiosk (machines) instead of forcing a person to do boring ticketing work?

FFS, It is a franchise. stop whining. Also Last Jedi is a million times better than Star Wars VI
