>> As Apple/Android Pay on sites becomes a standard
It'll be many years before I hook a credit card up to my phone. Part of the reason I keep my family on the Google infrastructure is that their app store doesn't require a credit card (and I'm still looking for the first mobile app I'd need to buy), so it would take two leaps of faith to get me to link up built-in payment to my device.
I think a lot of this has to do with the lingering effects of a hundred "don't close your browse / click refresh / click twice" warnings during that critical credit card submit/commit step. They make me nervous enough on a PC wired to a network - I really don't want to see a dropped connection during this step if I'm my mobile device. (So, I may build up a shopping cart with my phone, but I usually wait until I'm at a trusted PC before buying.)
And now we get to pay it forward to our kids. e.g., "Gone from Netflix?" "Don't worry, son, we'll just download it. Let me show you how." It makes me smile.
From Facebook's perspective, the best thing about testing "developing countries" is probably that dropping a drone on someone's head from 60,000 feet will mean, at worst, they're out a three goats and a pair of chickens. (See also: drug makers and name-a-country.)
Walmart was a huge proponent of AS2 to talk to its suppliers back in the day. And I remember the pharmas here in the US were playing with AS2 to do "pedigrees" that tracked product from endpoint to endpoint. So...why isn't Walmart looking at AS2 (or AS4) to do the same here?
In the US, the same people currently complaining about fake news sites also tend to be the ones who fight voter ID programs. I can't see how a "verified person to has web site" would fly with that crowd.

>> set it through Group Policy
nope, that won't won't be allowed either.
I see only pain ahead, and it's going to be felt worst by Betty Sues' who run this one command-line tool once a day/week on their shitty seven-year-old Dell desktop to their job, and the managers who will ask IT why they are getting screwed again. Maybe this is how the "year of the Linux Desktop" finally gets going?
Well, this will be a fun surprise for millions of people running command-line tools. Maybe that'll be my retirement career: "converting" CLI instructions and tools to the new world in Windows 10+.
Help!!! I am the new email administrator for a company called NHS in the UK and it's an big email system with thousands of users! My problem is that someone sent an email to everyone and now everyone else is replying. I never heard of an email server stopping emails but the company is telling us to do the needful so what should I do? Your fast reply is generously appreciated!!!
>> Security that MALWARE cannot manipulate...And THAT is what I would call a selling point.
^^^ This, and Apple agrees. Anyone else remember the Mac commercials ripping Windows for asking a million indecipherable security questions (as MS phased in UAC)? The "invisible to user, hard for malware" security on a Mac was EXACTLY the selling point Jobs' team was marketing then.
>> whether or not to buy a new Windows laptop just so I could run Visual Studio
Yes, you still should. (And get one with a nice SSD, but you probably already knew that.) Unless MS is also moving over support for SQL Server Express, debuggers, the full AD infrastructure, etc. they still have those of us who write for large/corporate environments by the short and curlies.
Sorry, I've seen Microsoft's flaky support of Skype for Business, various iterations of Office, and others on Mac, and I just can't trust them with my dev environment. I'll still keep my.NET dev stuff on a stable of Windows 10 laptops and my everything else on the Mac.

I heard the cloud is fast and infinitely scalable so I'm looking forward to the awesome performance boost I should get by putting my swap on this.
>> Yes, and Google Docs/Slides etc. has had it for how many years now?
Shhh...please don't let the managers know that the dev teams use Google docs/slides - we'll never get anything done if they're in there mucking about.

I had no idea Hillary was working for Deutsche Telekom now. Happy to see her land on her feet!

Wait - not everything on the Internet is true?
Based on experience, I'd say a Venn diagram of people who read Slashdot and people who still shop at malls would have a very small overlap zone.

Must be a sunbelt thing. Up here, people who smell like gun oil and mosquito spray are more likely to be "outdoorsy."

Sooo...who's left at Blackberry? Five people and a receptionist? Are they down to a storefront office next to the Chinese buffet yet?
Shut it down and turn off the lights already.
Surely, this must be a hoax because I didn't see "Russians" in the headline.
