feature/ui mess up creep started with firefox as soon as it became obvious it was more popular than what they had before and all the "UX xxxperrrttssszz" at mozilla started to fight over having a stake in it(to continue receiving money, no less).
Imagine logging in with just a picture of the fingerprint from a cup. no access to the machine even - all you start with is that cup. or a picture of the dude.
like, if it would log in just by the way you look.. just run a video to the computer of the guy. and what if you don't want to open the computer, for whatever reason?
The Microsoft account is optional. I don't use it. Please update your FUD accordingly.
it is indeed optional. however, with windows 8.1 they made it less obvious that it is optional. basically, yo have to go to something that looks like a failure state before you can create a local account. fucking ridiculous.
what's that gonna do to your original problem: law enforcement agencies ignoring the spirit of the laws.
like, fuck, NDA? look, you're just going to need to wait few years for every freedom of information request to be excluded with the same fucking excuse. "oh but our windows software license includes a NDA that we don't tell about flaws in our security procedures or lost emails".
why would you do it in a way where interception of the initial communication would compromise anything? the client program can have the cert included so mitm would set off alarms, so to compromise it the initial client delivered to the handset would need to be have been compromised, in which case you would be fucked anyways?
you know why they want the phone number and so does pakistani government..
if you want to do things normal applications aren't permitted to do.
developer mode is just for installing whatever apps you want, which are still limited by the security permissions on the device.
if you root, you may for example be able to remove googles play store from the device, if you for some reason wanted, or access some functionality not otherwise available(not exposed through regular android apis etc).
they knew it all of the time, they just had a pipe dream of selling 30K $ cad software through windows store and getting a 10K$ cut.
they knew it was not good usability, they didn't care, it was just for pushing the windows store. of course no sane company would get onboard with that.
it seems the medical staff doesn't want to deal with it or even touch the thing with a 10 foot pole which is understandable, but really there isn't a shortage of better ways to do it. sleeping pills and an enclosed chamber would work to.
it's just the punishment as a personal revenge posse pushing for the death penalty anyways, you know eye for an eye and all that shit.
well, point is it does nothing to change the guy who looks at cars "that way" to a good guy.
once they do it long enough it will just be back to normal. i guess it's good the bad guys don't get along well enough to coordinate doing all the bad stuff at the same time when the chopper is on top.
well, you might not want to focus on it right away when you're trying to keep an open, community, cloners welcome face at the beginning. being zealous about trademarks, patents and stuff at such a phase is generally bad.
thing is, once they realized it was a success and could pay for the bills, they've started being real bitches. which wouldn't be so bad if they produced nice boards with their license money, but their next gen boards just aren't very good. due is sucky.
so there's dozens of boards now on the market that can't market themselves as arduinos yet everyone speaks of them as arduinos due to having arduino compatible bootloader. so then what they are gets buried in the products description.
the rebranding of an existing 3d printer as an arduino printer topping it all off to a state where I don't even bother to go to official arduino(tm)(r)(c) site to even check if they got their heads out of their asses or not.
besides, if you wanted to buy from arduino.cc... only the lilypads are in stock of the boards.
it would be helpful if it mentioned what the patch actually did.
was a patch for the server, that would have broken osx if rolled out? did the patch then break unpatched osx time sync? or what. I mean, why did he need to delay it? what the fuck? why not make actual sense, maybe people would give you money if you could articulate it meaningfully why you need more money to maintain something that does one thing and has been getting patches for a long time already, never mind that simplification of it to a degree where patching would be unnecessary for the future would maybe be a better idea?
the people don't buy the expensive watches because they lose value to nothing in 5 years. quite the opposite.
the same folks who buy them might keep buying a new apple watch every 2 years. yeah, maybe, MAYBE some dolt thinks that the 10k first run apple watches have some value as collector items later on, but really it's rather unlikely to keep the value due to large product runs and the product being a paper weight 5 years from now. at least an old rolex is a) collectible and b) still works.
the real threat might be that plenty of folks don't give a shit about buying a swiss watch when they're used to looking up the time from a mobile phone anyways, and thus don't see the point in collectible luxury watches. the chinese market should take care of that for a while though - or rather asian market in general. they think of shit like that as investments and for some reason they think that they will do better in life if they can pose with expensive items. I kid you not, the suckers have clubs for buying expensive shit and then everyone gets a rotated week to wear the expensive watch so they can act like a big shot. it's like timeshare luxury items.
most hw patents nowadays are pretty dang trivial or "obvious to people in the trade" - done essentially as copyrighting excercises rather than as disclosure of vital information how the patented device works. furthermore, the same patents don't have enough information to replicate the device anyhow. a modern day car patent wouldn't describe how the car moves and steers but instead would describe that it has chairs to sit in.
reading fat32 discs is different from showing up through the usb as an usb mass storage drive. it's a bit of a crapshoot of how the phone shows up to the OS. most show up nowadays as a removabe media device, not as a real drive.
there's an advantage to that though, as then the drive doesn't need to be unmounted from the phone OS, instead the files are visible to both.

I'd rather them not try do that.

they already invented that.
this "just" makes it 25 times faster.

better products at 4x the price (and profitability remains a mystery.)

yeah so instead of peak oil we got BOTTOM oil.
shows it to all the peak oil dolts.
they've switched to peak gold shenigans now though.

just give them some opiats and too much to drink.

of course they do that.
if you drew 1 triangle / draw call or old school like that, just the hand in the scene would exhaust 500.
well they ran the tests and the testers reported 200% speed boost on disk access and internet browsing after installing the definition patch.
yeah so how much does normal folk use their cpu/gpu time for that? they don't. furthermore, having latency on the results is expected in those.
but the games use all the resources available quite often, due to you wanting to run them at as high settings as the computer permits.
well that and the bugs.
pretty crappy though that it had console-itis, yet was slow on computers vastly more powerful than the xbox.
still, played it through... but the inventory system.. damn.

time synchro service doesn't need to care about timezones, daylight savings or such.
the client operating system needs to know it's relation to utc.
he is quite wrong.

or a swatch. shows the time anyways.
elected hahahah.
well, perhaps it was elected. IT CAN'T FUCKING BE UNELECTED though and investigators trying to bring up the corruption are fired.
I guess they found out that minecraft has a chat option.
at least Erdogan is doing everything he possibly can to keep Turkey out of meeting EU requirements.
we aren't hating on people doing hw patenting?
most hw patents nowadays are pretty dang trivial or "obvious to people in the trade" - done essentially as copyrighting excercises rather than as disclosure of vital information how the patented device works. furthermore, the same patents don't have enough information to replicate the device anyhow. a modern day car patent wouldn't describe how the car moves and steers but instead would describe that it has chairs to sit in.
by going to the library and finding a c book from the archive.
it's just 50-100 years. as long as the data is readable they can decode it.
I mean, do you really think the archivists will throw away the knowledge to decode 100 year porno in 100 years? I think not.
it's not likely to be decoded in a complete information vacuum.
you're understanding it backwards.

well then certainly you will not miss gigaom that would write about any startup with an app that has 10 downloads.
