Honestly, it's probably one of the few places that wouldn't be drowned out by trolls and shills. I saw a ton of those when Russia invaded Ukraine and then again when "rebels" shot down the plane.
He was USING the phone for the last two months, but hadn't sync it to iCloud during that period? Also, usually the person with the phone is taking pictures, no so much in them. If the kid was terminal and in the last few months, what would be on there?
Really? Personally I *love* credit cards for bills. I can build nice updates/reports regularly to see if anything seems unusual, and if somebody has decided to charge me when they weren't supposed to, I pay one bill (the CC) regularly instead of a dozen, and it's easy enough to charge-back if somebody does screw up the billing and isn't willing to fix it.
For me, it really depends on who is making the typo (or grammar error etc). If it's just an email from a co-worker , some random Joe posting on the internet, or a blog then I tend not to care. If it's in an article from a "professional" person/entity - in particular one that should have editors - then I certainly have less sympathy for errors. For example, I would not expect to see glaring grammar errors from a a newspaper or major magazine, or on a billboard (except in the fun occasions where it is an purposeful error used to gain attention). As somebody who has worked (in IT) for the education industry, some of the worst cases I have seen were actually teachers.
I don't necessarily expect a secondary-school math teacher to have perfect English skills, but from teachers I would often get notes that were barely readable due to the poor grammar and/or spelling. Keep in mind that these people not only educating our children in their given subject matter, but setting an example. If Mr [insert Math Teacher] name can barely spell his name correctly, it sets a pretty poor tone for why students should hone their own language skills. The same applies to professional publications. If the "Washington Post" or "NY Times" start producing magazines full of mistakes, then it's saying "see kids, even professional magazines don't think it's important to use proper grammar!" Thankfully this is not currently the case with those particular publications, but certainly others seem to be "slipping" lately.
It's *somewhat* accurate. Essentially the phishing was successful, and it did go to the bank, but they were saved by a holiday which allowed them to later reverse the transaction.
Really what we come down to is "more data needed", but that's a good point. Maybe the rates in Beijing are lower because of higher infant/fetus mortality (i.e. they don't even make it to the "birth" stage).
Uh, I think you posted this story two days early... it's not Apr1 yet.
But realistically, who *wants* to run Ubuntu on windows. If anything, it would be the other way around (being able to run windows apps on Ubuntu/Linux). Running 'nix on MSFT libraries is pretty much taking away most of the reason you'd run it in the first place
Actually that might be a good thing. For one, the bad traffic was easily found, and for another it might be rather easy for some enterprising individual to mock-up some traffic and feed their servers with junk data...
"they would have to significantly beef up the GPU and CPU"
Well, the PS4 has been around for 2.5 years. While CPU/GPU technology hasn't had any huge changes in the last few years, more powerful hardware should be available at a better price. If they go with a comparative level of newer hardware they'll still get a nice boost without a huge additional cost. There will be some offset since the current hardware is semi-custom, but there's also a cost-savings for bulk orders. The current kit is a 1.6Mhz Octa-Core Jaguar CPU with GCN Radeon graphics, so they could bump up to Puma or perhaps even something a bit more on the edge. Now granted Puma seems to be more of an improvement in efficiency than raw power, but that might allow a bump in the clock speed as well.
Uh no, because your two examples are generally tied to something more physical (actual skin color, DNA), whilst religion is not a fixed/physical attribute. So you can be "black" and Jewish, "Native" and Christian, but you can't really be a Christian Jew. Now others within the religion might still consider him differently based on his former religion, but if you really want to go down that road you could end up with somebody who's a secular Jew Christian Muslim Athiest...
"Yes, the asshole who left the admin password in a text file should get fired"
Assuming, of course, that there were other options and that the application didn't work in such a way as that a password in a text file wasn't required. In the latter case, the blame would be on shitty programmers - often a third party - and not the sysadmin who did the best with what he had.
As somebody who has often had plenty of similar WTF moments with crappy software design, I would not be surprised. In the end though, if one needs to connect to a remote system with credentials saved locally, there's not really a magic bullet for this. Sure, the password could have been encrypted, or it could have been hashed or perhaps key pairs used, but if the system is hacked and owned, even measures like that are really only going to delay the inevitable.

No, but it does show they might also be that person that sends a "reply-all" at the wrong time and causes bad things to happen...

For those that don't remember
Embrace and extinguish. Brings back memories of RAV antivirus.
So for those that think all Muslim or middle-eastern peoples are destructive terrorists:
In 2004, Hadid became the first female and first Muslim recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.
Here's a woman who dedicated her life to building great things, rather than tearing them down. I wish that more could use her as an role-model.

Nope. If you have "recommended updates" it will automatically try to download in the background and then prompt for install.

Well, apparently you don't need a gun-phone to do that
I've always like the kidney harvesting joke myself
Add the letters "ab" to the front of "use" and you'll get a better idea of what the FBI appears to want to do with the courts in this case...
"censor any domain names not registered within China"
So what, only 99% of the internet then?

Strange. I'm working late hours right now with two of my co-workers. Among the three of us, only one has a penis.

Only to inflate prices, I believe
Only Germany, comrade?
