Scientists don't claim to know why, which many religious people consider a sign of weakness. Religious people claim they do know why, which many scientists consider a weakness. One thing I think we can all agree on is that Apple's design philosophy sucks.
One of the things I've learned working in retail; it's better to bullshit than admit ignorance. One gets into a whole realm of magic words and phrases to keep peevish customers from going into asshole mode, and plausible excuses are an important tool. Even if an employee develops a thick skin, the store's customer satisfaction surveys will not.
Think about how many religious people believe "We don't know what happened before the big bang." is a weakness in the theory, or indeed a weakness lurking behind all cosmological science.
In any case, the article says the apple employees were almost certainly correct, so I dunno what you're referring to.
On the plus side it'll let companies host video and backup services much more cheaply and reliably. On the minus side, it'll let authoritarian governments maintain databases of effectively infinite size for every single citizen cheaply and reliably.
One way or other, it does impact everyone on the planet.
This is good news for anyone who wants to work with uncompressed video. It might not amount to a ton of people, but let's be happy for those youtubers who aspire to be something better than disneycartoys, ok?
Clearly voice shopping is the Achilles heel of Amazon. It's a market they have no part in and by the way, it is huge.
Said no one ever. Sounds more like a ship of fools, and doubly so for being captained by a company that never finishes what it starts. At least shoprunner was in the same zip code as a good idea.
Actually, pendants mostly like to hang around doing nothing all day. Pedants hate that they can't fix their mistakes in Slashdot comment threads. Other folks have more esoteric tastes, like trying to trick people into checking their spelling for no good reason.
This is one of those "everyone acting rationally screws everyone over" situations which are so very common in improperly regulated capitalism. 800 researchers wanted.
You can use it as a boot drive. You may be given greater flexibility for the sector sizing; huge sectors are nice for video. Some may find it easier to configure. It may not be superior to do it in UEFI, but neither is it particularly inferior.
I assume they're talking about bootable nvme fakeraid, which I think is underrated. Still, I've had regular trouble getting operating systems to work with it. I don't know why that is. It's enthusiast level stuff, not bleeding edge supercomputer stuff.
Aren't birds immune to pepper spray? Wouldn't simply being a drone add a lot of defense? I'd think rotors would break bird bones like twigs or at least hurt really bad.
Midland beach is the name of a neighborhood. It has a beach, but regardless, it's 20 by car, 13-15 as the quadropter flies (I'm eyeballing this.) It's somewhat moot though. It's way past several choke points that look like better candidates for scrutiny. The patrol was too low, too late at night, and outside of a useful area. Look at the topography of the area; it's pure sillyness. Even if they wanted to be that far out, maybe it's smarter to patrol waterways, with....I dunno...boats?
I've read some more, and the drone operator was certainly violating some laws. However the height thing that was being discussed is ambiguous, and I don't know how you expect someone to give way to something with a cruising speed of 170MPH. "Oh, I better mo..crunch."
You're technically right. I think everyone here got fixated on the drone height thing for some reason, and really it's the least of it. Possibly because it was the only apples to apples comparison that could be done with the law for manned helicopters.
Yes, according to the article and the law, the drone operator engaged in a whole heap of technical violations. Time of day, proximity to airport?, maaaybe height, NY regulations, not giving way, (although that would depend on how fast these helicopters were going).
But you know what I say? According to common sense, drones are quiet and the helicopter operators were being colossal dicks. 8pm at 500 feet over a beach community? Diiiiiiiickss.
You'll see a lot of people talking about rule 107 saying 400 feet, but they tend to omit that it's 400 feet above the ground OR WITHIN 400 feet of a structure. So it depends very much on the area where this happened...but as a residential area, it's very possible there was no height violation.
Although I support the drone operator in this, it may be the time of day that kills him. You can't fly drones after dark according to the same rule set.

I'd just like to compliment you for understanding the difference between training and intelligence.

To be fair, you'd probably have gloves on under similar circumstances.

You're forgetting about TPM. You may be fully compromised even when the machine isn't booted.
Suppose Google were to make a product. And suppose they left it permanently unfinished. But I repeat myself.

I can't speak for everyone, but given I already have a far more useful device in my pocket I think "speaker" accurately describes their sole value.
Genius!
You are absolutely right, but isn't this the kind of thing that would bug any enthusiast?

I'm most dreadfully embarrassed.
I'm dismayed you'd think it necessary to use projectile weapons. When instead you could use nitinol rotors with retractable guards. Yes, it blends!

It says it can remove car noises, but can it remove the audience laughter from the Red Green Show? This is a problem someone needs to solve!

You mean the assembly located twenty miles to the northeast needed two black hawks to be in that area at 500 feet? Yes, how dare they.
