It's physically impossible to put good speakers into a flatpanel TV so why should that be a surprise? Then again I think 99.9% of soundbars also sound like crap which is why I have 40" tall tower speakers with 1", 4.5", 8" and 10" drivers =)
Or you could be an adult, realize that creative people need to be paid too and pay for your content directly if you don't want ads. I pay for YouTube Red, Hulu's no ads tier, and Amazon Prime for that very reason.
There are no FC cards designed for a PC, there are only PCI, PCI-X and PCIe FC cards, the only difference between one for an HPUX box and an x86 server might be the firmware flashed on it. It's possible there were Sun specific adapters and they were still producing non-pci models in 1997 when FC first came out, but every card I've dealt with even on Solaris was just a PCI(x) card with a custom firmware image (on QLOGIC cards you can flash back and forth).
Not every places uses HR for hiring technical people, at my last two employers HR is only involved in posting the available position and filling out the HR paperwork once the candidate has been selected. It might be a bit of a self-selection process because I don't have a degree and so won't make it past the HR filter at places that use them.
Exactly, any life safety system that needed to be network accessible was on its own private vlan with a bastion host used for access, remove network account and you can't access the bastion host. For networking gear you set it up for AAA authentication and make it so local accounts can only be used if the AAA server can't be reached. That plus network monitoring to tell if the device is offline should mean there's no way to use a local login without it being known that it is happening. My goal has always been to create a network that even I can't hack with the root level account without leaving a trail.
Musk setting a neigh impossible stretch goal to try to get the most out of his people and suppliers and then falling a little short is his modus operandi, anyone who invested in TSLA without realizing that is a fool who deserves to have their money taken by people with a clue. It's because he's willing to fail that he's pushing three industries (transportation, energy, and spaceflight) forward simultaneously.
I was fortunate to have management that took BC/DR seriously and funded it appropriately (and IT in general). The fun part was when the brought in a BC consultant and the room full of managers kept bringing up IT concerns, the consultant let it go on for about 10 minutes and then stopped the whole meeting and said basically "look, from what I've seen IT has their stuff together and is ready, it's the rest of you who have no clue what your processes and procedures are for a disaster". Amazingly our board even took the step of limiting travel to no more than 3 director level or above people on one flight, that meant our corporate jet timeshare was hard to justify and so got cancelled.
Tape almost never goes bad, with over 15,000 tapes at my last job we had one failure to read and 2 failures to write (one of which I dropped so it really doesn't count). I read an original DLT IV tape in an SDLT 320 drive over 18 years after it was written (tax document, apparently the lawyers had a question on something and there was a 20 year lookback period for this particular property tax) and routinely read LTO tapes that were nearly a decade old. Oh, and restore from Glacier is unbelievably expensive so it's fine if you have a WORN requirement but for true use it's more expensive than doing it yourself if you have any kind of scale.
Yup, that's why our backup audit log had a weekly restore as one of the lines. We also checked the tick box in our backup software that read from the tape when done and compared CRC to that stored in the database, in theory this could differ from what was on disk, but at that point any modern backup program with dedupe is already hosed. We also did semi-annual DR testing which involved removing key people from the exercise to test cross training and documentation and also included deleting a whole filesystem and doing a restore from the backup system and doing spot check on files selected at random from the source filesystem.
Google literally followed the guidance set by the Microsoft settlement and allowed the user choice in setting things like search provider in Android and yet they got hit with a huge fine, kinda hard to avoid massive fines when you follow the guidance set the last time the issue came up and still get hit.
No, ARM is fading fast in the server market, there were predictions of double digit market penetration but they've come to nothing. They're literally a rounding error in the graphs and that's by unit sales, by profits they're not even worth mentioning. As far as total CPU market, Intel's still the leader in revenue if you discount Apple (they don't sell a CPU, they sell a complete device and software ecosystem).
Contract, if you make an Android derived device you have violated the conditions of the contract and you lose access to the Play Store and all of the "with Google" apps and all of the API libraries that use Google resources. Frankly I'm a bit surprised by this ruling, Google makes the base Android OS available to anyone, they only require that you follow certain rules if you wish to have your users use their resources. To me this seems perfectly fine. They even allow the users to set and change the default applications for any action which is exactly the remedy the EU used against MS when they went after them so this is some serious goalpost moving (how exactly are you supposed to avoid these money grabs if you follow the guidance from the last ruling and still get dinged?).
In many states the company would fall to anti-SLAPP laws and end up eating their costs, the EFFs costs, a piece for the defendant, and a nice big fine\sanction. At the federal level the Speak Free Act amended title 28 to grant anti-SLAPP protections to the little guy.
Besides, if the VM "wipes on logoff", how would the user save his work between one run of the VM and the next, such as for a large project in AP Computer Science?
They'd save it to their home drive like any other multi-user system since forever.
As far as the cost of internet connectivity, there's the lifeline program for those that are on any of these assistance programs which should cover anyone up to a few times the poverty level.
You just use the 10S machine to login to a VM that wipes on logoff for the small use cases where you need something that doesn't work directly on 10S.
As far as Surface and ipad driving growth, is IDC on crack? The ipad has been losing volume quarter after quarter and the Surface line hasn't been setting the MS 10Q on fire either.
The app permission system makes this a minor issue on Android 6+, just deny any app mic permission if it doesn't have a legitimate need to access the mic. I do wish Android app permissions were more granular at the UI layer like they are in the API (and like they were on Blackberries) but I realize that if you swamp the average user with too much information they'll just run away and not use the features, perhaps give granular control if you've enabled developer mode?
I just couldn't get into Netvibes, I signed up for an account and tried it for a few months between the igoogle announcement and the the shuttering but even with it being my homepage for like 6 weeks I never felt it worked for me. I ended up replacing it with a bunch of Android widgets and an RSS reader. One of the biggest barriers for me was that I was used to checking live traffic in igoogle at the end of the work day to figure out which route I would take home and none of the online maps with live traffic would work within a netvibes container.
I've been staying at places through VRBO for nearly 20 years, I doubt that anyone knew I was a temporary renter unless they're really familiar with their neighbors or were directly involved in the rental activity (I've been told to "see Clara next door for the keys" type of things multiple times). Just because there are assholes out there doesn't mean we should try to shut down an entire industry.
That projection would appear to vastly undersize both Canada and Russia. I'm a fan of the Goode homolosine projection, have been ever since National Geographic used it in the insert of one of their special edition magazines in the 1980's.
I use myemail+company_short_name@gmail.com if their form person isn't retarded (if they are and are blocking legitimate SMTP addresses they get the spam catcher email) which get filtered into folders, any company who abuses the address I give them loses all future business from me.
it will have a large high resolution display, plenty of RAM and storage
The number of flagships that have shipped with >4GB of ram and support for the Verizon network has been pretty close to zero which is why I'm still rocking my 3GB Note 4, not worth upgrading for one more GB of ram. I'm waiting on an 835 based phone with 8GB, preferably with an ~5.2" screen, replaceable battery, SD card support, and a promise to match the Pixel for software support (ie for the 2 years that Qualcomm will provide drivers and then another year of security updates). I know the chances of actually getting that are close to zero, but it's what I'd like if I could order up my current dream phone. I'd even be will to spend more than this new Pixel 2 to get it.
But they sound like something that costs less than a million dollars per year. Is the rest all spent on embezzlement services?
First, haha NO, servicing hundreds of thousands or millions of customers a day does not cost less than a million a year, try probably ~$50 million if you're doing it right.
Second, they're currently employing most of the former AI and Robotics labs folks from Carnegie Mellon and a few other large high profile labs in an effort to get autonomous cars going to the point where they can remove their biggest expenditure (their drivers).

If you need to do HDMI over ~30' you need to go the something like this balun setup that use Cat5e/6 to transmit the hdmi signal.
