I'm guessing you're just being a sarcastic jackass, but non-physical=VM image, meaning they can just pop it into existing VM infrastructure without needing to dedicate space or support to additional physical hardware. It still takes compute/storage resources, but there's no need to worry about stuff like cabling, hardware replacement, etc etc (beyond what they're presumably already doing for their own VMs in the farm)
Seeing as though Google already has filters to match up similar images, and plays with facial recognition etc, a few buttons shouldn't be that hard.
Sure, the scummers can obfuscate their buttons, but the whole point is to make them look convincing enough like a legit download button that people mistakenly click it so there's only so much variation they can do.
The best profit in news can be from having an article that is first, and accurate. It doesn't matter much if somebody else had access to their source if they broke the story first and it was well-detailed.
And in this case, negative feedback is perhaps providing an important feedback to the customer: If you're being difficult and attention-seeking, perhaps it won't work out how you had planned.
Of course since the response seems to be more attention-seeking, I suppose the lesson was NOT learned.
Or it might just be that the average person in that area drives at an unsafe speed. This isn't a freeway.
Frankly, around here exceed the limit in large quantities all the time. Often they do so regardless of road conditions or weather. In most cases, they still arrive home. However every now and them somebody will hit that nice skiff of snow or black ice and "oops" - perhaps doing 110kph in a 90zone with icy roads ISN'T a good idea - now you have an accident. Even better, since the average person is already driving at unsafe speeds for the conditions, everyone else who suddenly has to avoid the fishtailing pickup also gets to experience the joys of winter acrobatics on ice, resulting in a multi-car pile-up.
Similarly, we have big issues with people passing school-buses that are unloading kids. Apparently the huge, flashing stop sign doesn't mean much to most people. Just because your average person doesn't have the intelligence to drive safely, should we just say "screw it, let's let everyone pass the stopped bus and speed on through crosswalks!"
In this case, it's a residential street. The "oops" might happen with weather, or it could be a kid crossing the street, a stray animal that somebody swerves to avoid and loses control, whatever. Sure, in most cases that won't happen, but in the other cases you could probably have avoided hitting that kid by DRIVING THE F***ING LIMIT.
In the case of computing, inefficient power-consumption is lost in the form of heat. If you've got a computer using a fair bit of power and generating heat, then it may actually be providing secondary value in colder days. I don't bitmine, but I have transcoded a lot of video and if I leave the room closed I definitely notice a temperate difference.
This would be good in the winter for those with electric heating etc, where at least the "waste" is actually a useful by-product. In the summer though it actually adds to the problem because that may also result in running the house cooling systems (A/C) more.
I've often thought it would be fun to have a game that to some extent allowed legitimate use of scripting/botting, but tied into in-game elements. In a space-sim, you might allow cool things like "hacking" enemy vessels to bring down their shields/engines/etc. This could be done by combining in-game items with code, human interaction, and timers. For example, the older "Mass Effect" games had little puzzles to solve in order to "hack" into locked doors, etc. This could be done in a more complex way by having: * A time-limit in which to execute a hack before intrusion was detected/blocked * Security-style items which increase the complexity of a system, making it take longer to hack (or having their own time-limits) * Items which were counter-measures to the security-style items, or to increase the allowed time. Some of these might be burnable/consumable. * The ability to either go at the security/puzzles manually, or to use scripts to help solve the puzzles in combination with the above items * Additional scripts to perform certain actions against the penetrated enemy systems, or lie dormant until needed.
It's not exactly traditional bots, but if the "systems" behaved in a somewhat automated manner where it's more a game of cops-and-robbers between defensive systems and attackers, it could be quite complex and fun. The hard part would be in striking a balance between the "twitch" players and those more cerebral, but perhaps that would bring in an in-game concept of white-hat VS black-hat where the former could design and sell defensive scripts.
You could even have stuff like the ability to drop upgrade "loot" which in reality is actual a form of trojan etc
And I've still seen plenty of XP machines on non-internet-enabled networks (or not networked at all). I recently was in a major hospital and saw what appeared to be a good many XP machines.
My understanding on the injury clauses is that A) It forces at least a formal signed acknowledgement of the potential for injury B) It reduces since of the not frivolous injury claims
Yeah, the closest thing might be "longest running popular connection standard for multi-resolution/computer video". There's some muddling between the good ol' 15-pin connector itself and the standard devices using it apply. For a lot of the predecessors, there were video standards but a really bewildering variety of cables/connectors for them.
So how about the others?
The old yellow RCA connectors *still* exist, but their resolution leaves much to be desired (though Nintendo stuck with a long time), but they also carried audio. Still used by low-res devices, and available on most TV's.
Replaced by S-video, which offers slightly better quality.
Then... Component video. Higher resolution via more cables with colours that fade and are easily mixed up.
Oops, almost forgot coaxial, which is thankfully mostly dead now, and I don't recall any computers using this (exempting some addon "TV cards"). It's still used in some lower-res longer-range stuff (security camera etc) , but often using BNC's instead of the twisty connector on TV's
DVI is still around in some places, but mostly on its way out. In many cases its size killed it as vendors would opt for either VGA or HDMI.
Speaking of HDMI.... it's the cable you love and hate at the same time. Pure digital. carries audio channels and even network data . Carries video at an increasing range of resolutions. Also, a useless mostly friction-fit connection that fecking pops out or comes loose at very inopportune moments. Much as I found the pins on VGA/DVI annoying at times, at least the damn cables didn't drag themselves out of the socket or bend under their own weight. The only thing worse is damn "is this the right orientation" USB.
Displayport seems to fix the above issue a bit. At least the cables click in and seat well. The connector can still get bent by a mass of heavy cables though.
Overall,VGA was/is a very good standard cable/connector standard. Cables tended to last well even under shyte conditions, the connector stayed plugged in. It handled a wide range of resolutions, and had a very long lifespan. The connector was a reasonable size too. Overall still my favourite.
This was actually one of the key reasons I didn't vote for him (well, his party). The Conservatives were worse in a lot of ways (they support CETA as well, but all sorts of other nasty stuff) and had a history of building oppression (G2 summit police overreach, muzzling scientists etc), but looking at how the parties voted the Libs and the Cons were both very much in the pro-surveillance anti-privacy camp. In this case it's the lesser of two evils between the two, but the third party (NDP) voted pretty solidly against this shit so it's unfortunate that they've been shoved far into the back seat now.
Problem is the durn niggers. They're ain't got no jobs, and they ain't got no skills, but at least they speak english a little better than better than the spicks, who aren't even good at spanish let alone mexican. They're just to damn lazy to take the damn jobs. I mean, sure the pay is shit, the conditions are shit, but at least they're good, respectable jobs. Hell, back when they used to work 'em, they would get the whip if they didn't get off their lazy arses. Now they gots themselves all sorts of rights and shit, so why wouldn't they want to work them plantations and cotton fields?
Guantanamo Henchman: Boss, we've tried every non-marking punishment we know to get information out of them, but they won't talk. Guantanamo Boss: What do they do Guantanamo Henchman: They just smile and ask for more. We've tried waterboarding, sleep deprivation, constant barrages of loud noise. We even tried Celine Dion mixed with Bieber for 24h, which is just sick! Where are these guys from, boss?! Guantanamo Boss: Checks paperwork. Hmmm, looks like they're from the film review board. Guantanamo Henchman: [peering over shoulder] Hmm, it said this guy reviewed the Avengers positively, he can't be that bad... Guantanamo Boss: Wait, that's the 1998 release of The Avengers. Dear lord! This man is a menace to civilized society. Get the glass rods and nail pullers!
Well, in most senses one could hope that open != proprietary, in which case it should be something *all* vendors can standardize on. Better than three vendors with closed solutions.
The audio would work best. Have some guy describe the paint drying process in a very dry dialogue, with a few spots where he swears like a sailor for about 30s (in the same tone). It'd be a lot easier to catch video discrepancy than audio.

Uh, the same way it should if the regular fingerprint reader f***'s up. Fallback to another authentication method (not make the device unusable).
It doesn't matter the page, it's the Ad Network that needs cleaning

You already have polls. Why not have monthly suggestions from which the top ones can be voted on?

And I've still seen plenty of XP machines on non-internet-enabled networks (or not networked at all). I recently was in a major hospital and saw what appeared to be a good many XP machines.
I thought the problem before was that the driver was near-bricking counterfeit devices by uploading broken firmware.
The current driver sounds like it just doesn't work except with certain hardware, but isn't damaging the device.

Agreed. AD seems decent, but Exchange+Outlook at any company has been a bit of a beast with more than a little voodoo keeping it running.

A backdoor, likely added by a 3-letter US government agency, being used in another US government agency causing a security breach....
Debtors prisons seem to be making a big comeback these days. History repeats itself.
