With a 4 digit pincode as only 'security' it barely matters if they changed the default - in all likelihood they could try all pin options in a matter of minutes anyway
Record yourself "paying attention" to a video for 15 minutes one time, and point the webcam at a laptop playing the recording to "verify" that you're watching their new ads going forward?
The notepad source is literally one paragraph: create a window, slap in a standard windows text field widget, and have a pulldown menu with the load/save dialog box.
If you want more features, either use wordpad or one of the bazillion free download alterantives like pspad, notepad++, etc.
90 gb is 10 double-layer DVD's, or 2 blu-ray discs. There is No flipping way that that is all new content - someone didn't do a proper 'difference' patch.
Develop and manufacture a complete phone for $100,000?
More likely "we' ll buy a galaxy s10, and glue a portless non-removable otterbox knock-off around the thing"
Facebook was founded in 2004. Even if she signed up as soon as anyone was able too, her 18 year old son would already be 4 years old at that time, and would have already missed a boatload of early childhood vaccinations.
Facebook's echo chamber undoubtedly reinforced her misguided beliefs that vaccines are dangerous, but they are not the source of them.
Is this a new purview of the French government, to dispense fiscal justice? I assume there will be no juries or trials, making the French fiscal justice system a dictatorship?
Every country on the planet creates their own tax laws, with their own arbitrary rules. Any company that chooses to operate in a country is obliged to follow those laws, for better or worse. If they don't like it, they are free to leave or stop doing business altogether. That's literally how it has always been, everywhere. This is nothing new.
Why the sudden need for more tax?
What services suddenly need extra tax money?
The French government deficit is projected to be 3.4% of GDP -- (By comparison, the US is projected to be 4.7% in 2019)
Most countries recognize that having ever climbing deficits is a bad thing. They can either cut expenses, or raise taxes to make up for the shortfall. The French government is choosing the latter, aimed specifically at huge corporations that historically haven't been paying their fair share. Note that it's only targeting a percentage of their profits realized within France. If Apple, Google, Facebook and the others don't like it, they can always choose not to do business in France.
Many of the 'free' ones don't just throw ads at you, but work by a reciprocal agreement -- your traffic has an exit point in a different country, and you become a random other user's exit point in return... So even if you are on the up-and-up yourself, who knows what shady shit other people are doing and which now appears to originate from your IP address.
...You won't be able to travel to Europe with your new phone and plonk in a local SIM to get 30 days of unlimited data for $30 or less, but instead you'll have to sign up for Verizon's international calling plan and get to pay them $10/day for limited data instead.
Good thing they are so invested in looking out for their customer's best interests, eh?
Some jobs are just easier to automate than others, and many of those professions are predominantly done by men.
We'll have robots replacing long haul truck drivers and lumberjacks well before we get rid of all the elementary school teachers. (In no small part because groups of kids will always require constant hands-on supervision)
Less important, but not unimportant: Thanks to their huge size & height, a square mile of mature redwood forest would be capable of sequestering a LOT more carbon than a square mile of any other type of forest..
(although counting biomass-per-year, rapid growing, shorter lived tree like poplars wouldn't be bad in the short term either)
Indeed. The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
And for those who didn't know the reference: The above is ancient quote attributed to Socrates (469-399 B.C.)
The more things change, the more they stay the same...
Net neutrality is actually a basic manifestation of... a free market
More regulation is a freer market??
You can almost count the companies for who it is 'more regulation' on one hand: Charter, Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile.
But it ensures a free market and level playing field for the hundreds of thousands of companies that are actually providing services on the internet. Without net neutrality, you only reward the current big dogs, while the next Netflix, Youtube, Facebook or Amazon may never stand a chance to even be visible to the public at large.

...Given that they explicitly prohibit 3rd party apps from duplicating functionality present in Apple's own apps, my guess is that would be a "yes".
Autorun of has been disabled for many years on writable media like flash drives in windows, it only does it on read-only media like CD-ROM

Get me some transparent aluminum, now!
That's been commercially available for years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

France defaults to extra big taxation. Invest in France and enjoy that extra big tax. Who in France is getting all the new tax spending?
People who need healthcare, people who enjoy decent public transportation and high-speed trains, people who work to live and not live to work?
This is the bigger question - why? Do radio signals get stale?
Digital encryption certificates expire and may need to be updated, allocated radio frequencies may change and need to be re-programmed in, and more.

The question though is this: Where is APPLE?
Far in the rearview mirror, but that's hardly new -- they were almost a full decade behind Samsung in offering AMOLED screens on their phones.

To put that in perspective: 801MPH is Mach 1.044. (The speed of sound is 767.27 mph).
Its relative speed to the ground would be faster than the speed of sound

...Because we already HAVE ONE?
Much of the border has a physical walls and fences today, and there's already 'virtual fences' monitored by motion-triggered remote cameras and such.
Then came 2.5" form factor, the various types of slash memory, etc. But SecureDigital... wow. One terabyte on an SD card?
More impressive to me are the 400GB and 500GB microSD cards out there.

This is not neglect. It is not just that they didn't credit them. They went out of their way to remove the credit. I
That change made it a 'derivative work', which their license explicitly allows youtube to do as well.
While ethically questionable, they didn't violate their own license.
