maybe related to the ring purchase by amazon a few days ago.nest and ring will compete in the video doorbell business (and maybe in the smart thermostat business as well)
his credit card was stolen, after that all bets are off. the blockchain holds the records of who has the bitcoins, so it's possible to identify the person who received the coins.
chrome won not because it's a better product. it won because google search is the most popular web search engine, and every time you visit it you get an ad from them asking you to install it.
people always hate change right? even if it's positive... well not this time. the update actually isn't intuitive.
the original goal was to make paid content separate from your friend's content, however they actually made it worse. If you go to the discover tab, you get one screen where both types are mixed together. If you tap on a friend's snap, it will switch next to a paid content's snaps.
If you to to the chat tab, you do get only your friend's contents, but the sorting is erratic. if you have lots of contacts they will get buried down below if they don't post much
so? they will continue to sell them. have you seen nvidia actually advertise something "good for mining" or similar? no you haven't. and why should they? wasted money, they are selling like hotcakes.
Now, pc gaming being in decline for so long, could use a boost, and selling video cards at $900 won't do, especially when buying a complete console is only $200.
they don't care who buys their product. they are a company, profit is their only objective.
they are not exploiting anything. they are making their product, that despite being originally designed for a specific function (gaming) is good for another (mining)
this is just empty words, because they don't change anything.
This is just public speaking to make them look good. In reality, they don't care who is buying their products as long as they get sold. In fact i would say they like crypto miners even more since they will tend to fry their hardware from extended use and they get an additional sale.
vista was actually a good OS. it had a file copying bug before SP1, other than that its only fault was that it was too modern and advanced for the time. vendors were selling still old hardware, and in some cases selling hardware that was too slow for the OS.
people actually required having a faster computer than they had, so it ran slower than 98. fast foward a few years later, almost the same OS with a nicer skin and some UI enhancements was released to public fanfare. it was called windows 7, and was built on top of vista.
last time i checked chromebooks were basically tablets with a keyboard. it appears windows 10s at least lets you run real software, albeit no sideloading, at least by default.but you could convert to the full OS if you wanted, i don't know if this is possible right now
of course it's sustainable, otherwise they would have raised the $99 yearly fee. The price hike is just to make some people to switch to the full year price, thinking they will get the better deal. It will work for some, and savvy people will only subscribe for november (black friday) and july (prime day)
fair enough, if you don't want to use cash i guess that's a valid feature. still, that the taxi company had a line and uber didn't is just an anecdote and doesn't mean that it will work like that all the time (unless you live in a city that lacks taxis, but places like NYC that have 20 taxis per street or something like that would disagree)
everyone takes it personally when it comes to their language, no matter how many speakers it has at all. The catalan region in spain is actually worse and nobody in the planet outside them speaks their language.
wouldn't it be great if all people were able to communicate with each other?
i spent $260 on an i7-8700 a month ago, partly because intel had the better performance single core in gaming. If intel's patch decreases 10% in performance, and amd's upcoming spectre patch doesn't, then you could say that i wouldn't have made the same purchase today. so i don't believe it's crazy to get a 10% refund, or at the very least, a rebate in that amount for a future cpu.
so microsoft is lying? they are telling everyone that their january update is just the OS part and that intel needs to supply a microcode/firmware for the complete meltdown fix
Intel has said they are working together with oem partners blah blah but i have yet to see their microcode patches posted on their website. I build my own machine, i can't contact Lenovo (who haven't even acknowledged most of their products are vulnerable)

probably they are going to ship a quite old processor with just 4gb of ram (lucky if you get 8) for $899.

He thinks crypto currencies have anonymity. I'm surprised he made this comment being so ignorant in the subject..

Chrome has over 60% of the browser market. Regular people "marketers" then conclude firefox needs to be more like chrome to get their numbers up.

venezuela has already defaulted, nice try. and their tankers are breaking apart.

is this a beta? website says 2.2.8 is the latest

red hat didn't cause this bug, they are just an OS. why can't intel put the microcode file up for download on their website? Oh wait they did
if that were true, they could still do it for 2 dollars more don't you think?

the only difference between taxis and lyft/uber for me is that the latter requires an app on your smartphone.

i believed Microsoft's lies then. They are telling people that Intel needs to release a microcode/firmware fix.
