I tried installing Mint 18 in a VM, but if the installer detects internet it will try to download updates and translations, even if you choose not to update packages. Had to reinstall with the network cable disconnected.
Oh, i forgot about this one. On the work machine i installed SumatraPDF which is a very light pdf reader. The installer asks you if you would like to associate it with pdf files (how nice, instead of actually doing without asking). When it did, windows "detected some nasty attempt to change the default app to open pdf files, and for my security it would revert back to microsoft edge".
The nerve of microsoft to deny the user of choice.
Windows 8-10 stupid decision to disable the F8 key by default, therefore can't use safe mode unless you can boot into windows, then what's the point? Enable F8 support by disabling Fast Boot, boot will only be a few seconds more but it's worth it.
I updated to win 10 AU (from win 10 1511) in both my laptop and work machine.
My laptop had an in place upgrade. Everything was left intact , the update was flawless, just as the one from 8.1 to 10 and 10 to 10 1511.
My work machine i decided to format from scratch. Installation worked, but windows update ran before i could apply the group policy and started to download updates from the internet instead of my WSUS server, and not even when i rebooted it got updates from WSUS. Had to wait for the first batch to finish before it started using WSUS.
Even after that and my customary deletion of metro apps, windows began to connect silently to a bunch of akamai ips such as 23.14.84.171, 23.14.84.160, 216.58.192.110, 208.65.155.48, 13.107.4.50, 23.14.84.161,23.14.84.177, 23.14.84.168, 8.253.0.30, 8.253.0.62, 8.253.0.78. Windows ignores the hosts file, so i had to create a rule in the windows firewall and each time i put a ip, Windows tried a new one. It drove me nuts for two days until it seems to have finished.
Plugins are not extensions. Adobe Reader is not even a plugin (if you're doing it right -- but arguably if you're using *any* Adobe software to read PDFs you're doing it wrong) it's a full desktop application.
HR doesn't hire people, at least not in the sense that they don't decide, they are just the recruiters and the filters for the actual managers in the respective areas
it would be something like the OSX dialog that asks for your admin password or maybe something like windows UAC does. The dialog should be entirely up to the OS and the app can't control it or put up descriptions on it.
It should be just a warning that the app wants to modify the system and that it could be dangerous. Maybe a reminder that it isn't an app update at all
The real issue is that apps shouldn't be able to install code without prompting the user. Android should force a window that says something like "app is trying to install this: accept or deny?"
To buy a chicken you need to spend anything from 4 to 12 hours in a line. A donation like that would help, but sadly i think it would be rejected by the government as well.
We desperately need food and medicines and countries have tried to help, but the government doesn't allow it
:As I say, hard to put my finger on it, but there is definitely something odd going on.
Most likely, the S version was already in development, and as soon as MS heard the rumors that Sony was developing the 4K, they decided to imitate, therefore starting development on a beefier version
Hate to tell you, but you only need a good lawyer to get a political asylum. Lots of Venezuelans have fled the country, citing "persecution by the government" when they actually are just fleeing from the economic crisis
my pebble steel (black) looks classy with my long sleeve shirt and tie. sadly no steel product was announced today, all other models do look as toys as you stated.
wonderful 7 to 10 day battery. easy to read screen. built in health monitoring. excellent price. my only complain is that they didn't announce a steel model, which i still use. If i use a display that only updates once per minute and no notifications, battery lasts 2 weeks.
The update requires a manual update from april 2015, therefore you can't just reinstall and use this update. Also, using the old, decrepit IE only, ActiveX only site to download it.
They could put up a big warning when you change the values. Don't be so closed minded. All products already do in the manuals anyway (which nobody reads)
How about a third option? I propose that the loss of jobs caused by technology and automation can be offset by the increase of jobs needed to actually keep this technology working. And better jobs to boot. Would force people to learn science and robotics instead of knowing how to flip burgers.
read my comment again, it was all over the intel hd driver that came with the toshiba laptop. When i had a radeon i never had issues with drivers, however i am aware than in the 2000's ati had a bad rep with drivers. today i am using a gtx 970 because it is the best card for the money
If you change your real number (and not reinstall/reset whatsapp), then surprise surprise, SMS will stop working , you won't receive messages from your contacts unless you tell them your new number.
Same thing happens with whatsapp. This is a design feature so you don't need to remember user names, emails and passwords

a simple cover such as the ones used for camera lenses would be even simpler to do, no wiring required

How do you misspell summary 5 times in the same post?
Regular people: No
Business: Hell NO
Gamers: Yes
It doesn't come with a steel bracelet, so it is still plastic to me. I know i can buy a separate one, but i shouldn't need to
i don't have a color model, but i can tell you that my steel actually reads BETTER in direct sunlight

The world is a lot bigger than the USA
Firmwares that ask the country you are in. Choosing US greys out the appropiate sections. If clients lie, then the company shouln't be at fault.
