I remember seeing this concept in Popular Mechanics in the 70's. 2 metal plates, squirt concrete slurry, wait for it to harden just a teeny bit, move to the next panel.
Right. The way I interact with my PC, with mouse/kbd, and 2 x 24" screens, is totally different than interacting with a phone or tablet. But apparently the 'designers' are too lazy or clueless to a) know the difference, and b) build two different interfaces.
However, if 70 people are leaving their laptops behind then I am sure many others are taking the wrong bags and/or gear by accident.
I did that once. Picked up the wrong Thinkpad. Didn't notice until I was at the gate. Opened it up to do some work...Hey, this isn't mine. Rush back to get mine, and "Where's the dude that belongs to this one?" Oh well. Not my problem anymore.
I was merely making a point about not everything 'illegal' results in a fine or jail. The law official on the scene makes the call. Whether that be a cop on the street of the FBI chief.
Lest you come to the assumption that I think what has happened is right, I don't like it either.
Have you ever been pulled over for speeding, and the cop lets you off with a warning? Doesn't mean you weren't speeding. You know you were, the cop knows you were, the person you just passed knows you were. And if you're the mayor of the town or other bigshot, you are even more likely to be let off with a warning, rather than getting a ticket.
Clinton got let off. Doesn't mean she didn't do it.
Doesn't matter, though. This election was decided years ago.
1 per minute = 1,440 per day. Pre internet, how many individual articles, editorials, comics, ads were in a typical daily print edition of the New York Times? I would venture that 1,000+ would not be out of the question.
No, people are not interested in 'you'. They are interested in that 0.5 seconds when you make the silly face when you miss the football thrown by your buddy. This, they will then make a meme out of.
With no permanent record, that 0.5 sec would be totally unremarkable, not noticed, or long forgotten. With a potential continuous recording (even if only 10 secs at a time), they can review later, and extract those 2 frames where you look absolutely ridiculous. These glasses just move the recording from a camera that someone will notice, to sunglasses that will go unseen.
Then you get people sueing because the alarm was to disruptive and scared them into a wreck....
To prevent that, you first broadcast a 'trigger word' warning. (over the car speakers, in a very calm voice) "Hey, bro...I'm about to yell at you quite loudly, because there is a very scary moment coming up, and I don't know how to handle it. We'll need you to go ahead and take the wh..." (crunch)

I assume your car has a license plate so your argument is silly.
You can drive your car around your private property with no license plate or registration at all.
Apparently, I should have specified:
"$50 handheld or windshield mount GPS unit"
Mark position, drop it in my pocket.
Later, "the car is thataway!"
(none of my vehicles have in-dash GPS)
A feature available on a $50 GPS unit from 5 years ago...weeeee

Original:
"Cyberfox Developer Proclaims Death of Web Browser "
After editing:
"Developer Proclaims Death of Cyberfox Web Browser "
Change the position of one word to achieve truthiness.
"You need to work on those files on a Windows 10 PC that has a wireless chipset built into it."
Why must it be on a system with wireless circuitry? Can't be away from your laptop for 5 minutes?

How would Slashdotters explain the proliferation and existance of such unusable user interfaces and design choices?
Phones and tablets.
There is a whole lot of stuff in between "$200k for a 900 sq ft condo plus hoa fees", and "rural america".
Maybe you should look around some more.

That ship sailed decades ago. See WWII + IBM + Germany.
No, bashing Windows has long been a staple theme in here.

Actually a good first step would be nationalization of telephone poles and cell towers.
Hugo, is that you?
I don't like this potential merger, or the current situation, any more than you do.
However, let's not go overboard.
"many years ago" ?
5 is a very odd definition of 'many'. (5 years, as of this writing)

Sure...you go with that thought process.
If you use Apple's email client, you should assume the NSA and FBI are reading everything you write.
"If you use....email, you should assume..."

Enjoy your meme fame.
They are as meticulous as Apple when it comes to analysis and design and production.

So I can brick your drive by attempting to connect via bluetooth? Cool!
The VIC-20 in a box in my garage.
And yes, it actually still works.

This will happen, eventually
Will anyone reading this still be alive when it happens? No.
