It might be a problem, but is it a crime? Bit like me sleeping with the SO of a friend. Not something you should do, and extremely asshole-ish but it is not illegal either.
In Canada? Who knows. Now if he were in the US, then yes, it's a crime.
Andrew Auernheimer, 26, of Fayetteville, Arkansas, was found guilty last November in federal court in New Jersey of one count of identity fraud and one count of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization after he and a colleague created a program to collect information on iPad owners that had been exposed by a security hole in AT&T's web site.
The two essentially wrote a program to send Get requests to the web site.
Guess they don't teach people outside the US how to deduce from context what something they don't understand means. Because in this case it's glaringly obvious.
Also, to make sure the insult is not just implied: I think you are a trolling asshole who knew what it meant and just wanted to be a dick about it.
... very very low electricity rates because at this point most cryptocurrencies have reached the point where a GPU spends more money in energy than it generates currency. Either you must be that thick and unwilling to acknowledge this or you have enough solar power on the premises.
I see this argument quite often and all I can think is people don't know how much power actually costs, or how much power GPU mining actually uses. Even now, with prices in the crapper, most cards are profitable with power rates $0.40/kWh and lower.
Yea this article is 3 months out of date. GPU mining profits began to fall in late January and have been on a steady decline since then. Mining for most coins is down 50-80% from highs in Dec/Jan.
Sure, but they are useful even without that feature.
A driverless car that requires a driver doesn't seem very useful to me.
Would a horseless carriage be useful if it required a horse?
Yes, if part of their useful purpose is to get a horse from point A to point B sometimes. But your analogy is flawed anyway, since in this case the horse is analogous to the car's engine, not it's driver.
This is my concern as well, but on a larger scale. A lot of my customers insist on running Chrome in a Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop deployments. We already do what we can, including using VDI aware AV products (we we are forced to use them at all), to reduce unnecessary IOPS. Chrome is already a big resource hog (uses lots of RAM, bloats user profiles, etc) now they decided that they need to scan the OS and burn up IOPS as well? Thanks Google!
You can download the raw data from a lot of these test and feed it into sites like Promethease, which will filter it against their database of snips and associated research. It's interesting to do, but the vast majority of people don't have the background to be able to interpret the results and start to freak out that they have every condition under the sun.
Unless they found a way around it (and really violated the TOS) both Android and iOS require permissions before the OS will allow apps to access the mic. In the case of iOS when apps that do have permissions and attempt to use it in the background, iOS shows a big red banner alerting you that the mic is active and telling you specifically which app is using it.
Too heavy to transport? No practical application? How so? These already exist. A lot of concrete companies make them and will sell them to you today. For example: https://www.jpconcrete.co.uk/concrete-lego-blocks/
What's really going on is the music sellers are moving to the cable company model where they will not let you cherry pick the songs you want to buy and they will boil your frog-like ass for years until you are paying $100 per month for music.
Are any of you cord cutters feeling the heat yet? I thought not, you stupid frogs.
"Boiling the frog" is a myth. Thermal regulation by relocation is actually a very important part of any cold blooded animal's survival strategies. Frogs will relocate when the local temperature becomes uncomfortable no matter how slowly it got there.
Man I must have owned a horseshoe factory staffed by leprechauns in a previous life because I've never had any of these types of issues with any of my Windows boxes, physical or virtual.

Not the part I was referring to but OK my point still stands.

You can buy it cheap if you order it from China.
What is a high-roller database ? What does it contains and is it useful?
It's a database of people who like to get high and roll around in the grass.
That could be, strange name though.
Yea it's only been in common use since the late 1800's. Damn kids and their crazy slang.
What's a google?
And what is a high roller then? Someone who often frequents casinos?
A high roller is a whale.

sending them places on their own would be useful.
Sure, but they are useful even without that feature.

Just give Facebook a big middle finger.
And now they have your fingerprint...
Where should I be looking for more information guys?
Maybe start with the linked PDF instead of asking in here like Intel reads /.

hoist yourself up by your own petards
You know this phrase means killing yourself, right? Seems less than helpful advice.
Well it would reduce the labor market, driving up demand, pay, and benefits so..... it kinda works.
Here is info on the chip used and SNPs collected for FTDNA. It's a little under 700,000 SNPs in the RAW data. https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/FamilyTreeDNA
If you go to the Promethease site they have sample reports for FTDNA raw data. And yes I mean uploading your own data, not someone else's.
Can you trust a company to NOT comply with the laws of the countries they operate in? Probably not, no.

... so I tend to be weary of anything with a Hugo nomination or award. In fact, I tend to be weary of any awards.
Yea awards make me sleepy too.
