I doubt they managed to cram in telemetry in there, it's so half assed.
It's "Windows 10 core".. basically.. it's about as windows 10 as windows phone 8 is windows 8 - heck, even less. I wonder when they get tired of their fake one platform shit. you can't just name everything the same and then claim its all unified. a fucking dos based nokia communicator from late '90s is more unified with windows 98 than current shit.
first off, if you go to sleep and you wake up you're most likely to be still in the same place.
second, you're more than likely to see some kind of landmarks.
maybe being in the middle of sahara is somewhat comparable.. but even then your likely to know your longitude by 50 km accuracy at least anyways, enabling you to navigate to some landmark or another.
it's especially stupid as if you're tuning a custom fuel injection then you're using a laptop to adjust it.. and it certainly would benefit the guy doing it to know wtf he is doing.
they are guinea pigs for knowing if people will install it by accident more easier if the data file is already on the computer and the user gets spammed with UPGRADE UPGRADE button.
well the problem with him is that he separates what coding is used for from coding.
the correct counter question would be: you really want a fucking all mechanical fuel injection system in your car and not a computer controlled one? is he not aware how much better the fuel injection system is if you can sequentially correctly program more complex fuel patterns that rely on more data read from sensors?
no wait, what I actually want is just a display for my pc, I don't want to play games from 10 years ago on it and certainly don't need it to be portable more than my laptop.
walking around VR for home is a big failure, it's disappointing that they're putting so much research into it, when it should just be a display replacement.
yes. you can say "I don't know" and then SOMEONE will make some sort of estimate anyways. because you need that for budget for making a quote to sell it to the client.
could just as well be #noquotes.
what's really needed is for the sales people to not sell something they don't know what they're selling, because then you end up with a project that's starting and has a deadline before anyone knows wtf it's supposed to even do.
They are growing potatoes to get absolute 100% vodka.
not really. proper vodka is made from grain. near the fall of the ussr and post that they learnt to get by when stores were empty and pensions would only get you a loaf of bread. so they grew whatever to get by.
however, northern european(Finnish) moonshine was/is made from potatoes quite often and one of the reasons potatoes spread fast at one point...
if they got a contract it's likely to be around for 30 years.
possibly not cheap, possibly not decent, but it will be running for 30 years provided that other part of government will not ruin their spectrum somehow forcing them to shut it down.
why? because it's incoming money. replacing whatever basestations or whatever is just going to be cheaper in 15 years than now even if they have to be the only customer in the world for them.
not being able to deliver and taking money is the norm in Russia's business post USSR, so there's nothing new there.
seriously... it's one of the reasons the economy over there is so small compared to population.. and why people are still growing potatoes in the backyards out of absolute 100% necessity.
it's also why finland has had to build their fucking water treatment plants for them to keep their (literal) shit out of the gulf of finland.
or.. you could just make a device with a battery and a voltage up converter.
but who cares, you could use same kind of device to fry the whole ELECTRIC system at said place and disable EVERYTHING electric that's behind the same fuse and probably further if you chose the dump voltage right.
the article is stupid. it's not worthy research. it's something explored in joke txt's back in the early '90's and common sense. there's not that much to be done about someone who deliberately wants to break something and has physical access to the building.
but that's because back in my home country 'engineer'(translated, loan word style) is a title you get from what is essentially community technical college(I wouldn't blame you for mistaking it as university if you were visting).
if you're in a proper technical university you would end up as "diploma engineer" in the local language (equivalent to msc).
neither title makes you competent automatically though...
well that is to say that their business model sucks.
also, groupons business model was never about the actual customers. it was about selling to the companies that provided the stuff. with really, really heavy sales tactics and no regard to quality or if whoever provided the service could deliver. they would reimburse some of the cut price themselves too, to some, thus the high operating costs...
but main cost was paying to sales people who would make deals with barbers etc that would swamp the barbers with more clients than they could handle. like instead of selling 20 coupons they would sell 400. flooding the business with low profit clients who were angry for not being able to get an appointment. lose lose for everyone except people who managed to sold stock in groupon.
that's why when I go to my home country and go to a pharmacy and got a prescription for some medication they will have to offer me a generic cheaper version too and I can just as easily buy that one instead of the so called original brand. they're both just as good anyways.
THAT is the whole point of "generics", to push down the cost on the patient. USA DOES NOT HAVE A GENERIC REPLACEMENT SYSTEM, if you try to claim otherwise I will point you to this article which proves there really isn't.
in most places USA is involved there was essentially just a coin flip about what side to support - extremists of one tribe or extremists of another tribe. and then after the coin flip is done USA will act as a provider of hellfire strikes done on dubious reasons at times(basically trusting intel from the side USA chose as ally).
also, if it was about being police or upholding the law then there would need to be at least an attempt at trying to arrest the perps, which doesn't happen in the 'drone war'.
so if you're declaring just an open war with no warning shots against 1000+ tribes, sure, don't be surprised if they consider USA as an enemy.
Starting from last year it is Russian policy to do exactly that, from targeted inspections to import restrictions to arbitrary policy changes to arbitrary land lease term changes.
it's a reaction to USA lead sanctions against Russia. everything from banning imports(as reaction to eu banning exports) to banning "unwanted" personnel from entering(mostly businessmen, not politicians, businessmen working with western establishments and not with the good inner circle, some companies board members for example have been banned from travel to Russia without explanation).
yeah those sanctions suck. why? ruining economies of countries like Finland. Yes, they should do something about Ukraine but not this way, now USA is just adding people on the sanctions list without explanation or recourse, so there's Finnish people getting added on the sanctions list and USA is providing no explanation why except "connections to Russia" - that's basically half the Finnish businessmen that are potential to be put on the sanctions list.
getting Yandex as the default search engine on android phones would fit just as well with policy. Russia can control Yandex results - and does so. and if Yandex didn't play that ball the ceo would get changed.

yes, quite a lot easier.
first off, if you go to sleep and you wake up you're most likely to be still in the same place.
second, you're more than likely to see some kind of landmarks.
maybe being in the middle of sahara is somewhat comparable.. but even then your likely to know your longitude by 50 km accuracy at least anyways, enabling you to navigate to some landmark or another.
putting up red lights could CAUSE a stampede. it would make the people at the back think that they might not make if they don't push more.
people are idiots, basically.
it's especially stupid as if you're tuning a custom fuel injection then you're using a laptop to adjust it.. and it certainly would benefit the guy doing it to know wtf he is doing.
this time they said that it was fate.
well, it was fate that the people were unable to follow instructions I suppose.
they are guinea pigs.
they are guinea pigs for knowing if people will install it by accident more easier if the data file is already on the computer and the user gets spammed with UPGRADE UPGRADE button.
why do you help with them with the shitfest that is osx? you don't get tired of not being able to help people adjust their base font and button sizes?
well the problem with him is that he separates what coding is used for from coding.
the correct counter question would be: you really want a fucking all mechanical fuel injection system in your car and not a computer controlled one? is he not aware how much better the fuel injection system is if you can sequentially correctly program more complex fuel patterns that rely on more data read from sensors?
dunno, but I hope it works with my note edge.
no wait, what I actually want is just a display for my pc, I don't want to play games from 10 years ago on it and certainly don't need it to be portable more than my laptop.

that's like saying that this message thread is a movement.
well, if enough people hop on the thread -and do something- it is a movement.
if facebook had no european operations it would not be having any problems, as the data would already be in USA.
but they're doing business and hosting in the EU, so there's that. nothing forcing them to try to prosecute in the usa.
bottom line is that USA isn't complying.
for cloud backups (afaik anyhow) yeah, people are getting charged for the size.
why would someone need to backup apps they got from store? if it gets pulled. legitimate use case.
yes. you can say "I don't know" and then SOMEONE will make some sort of estimate anyways. because you need that for budget for making a quote to sell it to the client.
could just as well be #noquotes.
what's really needed is for the sales people to not sell something they don't know what they're selling, because then you end up with a project that's starting and has a deadline before anyone knows wtf it's supposed to even do.
well the movie theatre owners wife & kids watch that stuff. he thinks he is so smart you see.

it's a ploy to sell night vision goggles from a specific provider.
they found a stupid enough exec and bribed the idea to him: *boom* money.
the exec had to be stupid enough to not know actually how the bootlegs people download were recorded.
hint: not in the UK and if there's a direct audio feed then it's prooobably not a regular movie goer..

I've met a few.

sure there is.

it's not really that way in practice.

Russia's policy to bash western companies
Starting from last year it is Russian policy to do exactly that, from targeted inspections to import restrictions to arbitrary policy changes to arbitrary land lease term changes.
it's a reaction to USA lead sanctions against Russia. everything from banning imports(as reaction to eu banning exports) to banning "unwanted" personnel from entering(mostly businessmen, not politicians, businessmen working with western establishments and not with the good inner circle, some companies board members for example have been banned from travel to Russia without explanation).

getting Yandex as the default search engine on android phones would fit just as well with policy. Russia can control Yandex results - and does so. and if Yandex didn't play that ball the ceo would get changed.
well the thing is, they're selling "stuff" anyone could go find from the dark web, so there's that.
oh the days of just having all that stuff on rootshell
