I read that the reason F-Secure looked into this in the first place was because one of their people had a laptop stolen from a hotel room with no sign of forced entry and no logs. So I'd guess _someone_ already has access.
And then you have to wonder if it was just a random laptop theft or if they knew who's laptop it was...
If I had seen that animation without knowing where it's from, I'd probably assume it was from a crap movie. Because as it turns out, in real life, the effects are shit!:D
NASA should build "Ark B" now and offer all the "really special people" (Jim Bridenstine, Trump, etc) the first ride in it. Seriously. There are no down-sides to this plan!
I believe hearing aids are no so great in crowded, noisy environments like parties. So this could be really useful for them... except for hearing-aid users now also needing some cameras attached too!
Why is this scary? Would a machine that could add one thousand numbers in one second be scary to someone in 1965?
When I first read the headline, my money was on "Google works out a fascinating, slightly scary way for AI to isolate voices in a crowd BY KILLING ALL THE OTHERS".
Disappointingly, that wasn't the explanation, and I feel comedic potential has once again been wasted!
Did File Manager have the ability to bookmark a location... because I don't think the current Gnome "Files" app can. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will say!:D
There's part of me that really hopes that somehow, someone in Apple just thinks, screw the thin-sleek look. Let's go for something *completely* different. Let's go full fire-hydrant. Don't that'll happen though.
It will be like they epoxied two mac-minis together.
Nope. My prediction is it'll be pyramid shaped. They've done a cube. They've done a tube. This one will be a pyramid. Got to be! Nothing says innovation like a pyramid.
Agreed. I can see the logic on say a Mac Mini or MacBook, but anything with "Pro" in the name probably needs to remain Intel for some time... then again, TFA does say by 2020 so maybe it will work then. Otherwise, I'd say they could go ARM on the lower end Macs right now and most people could deal with that.
When the Obama campaign does it, it's a great victory with friends, but when Trump's campaign does it, it's a crime. Have you ever looked in the mirror and saw a dirty racist? You should try mirrors.
1). They're not _quite_ the same; afaik, the Obama campaign used social media to target people with advertising, but the Trump campaign appears to have used it to deliberately subvert the demographic process by feeding targets with fake news,
2). You recall that the Republicans were not exactly keen on Trump either? So some how he managed to defeat all the other Republican candidates (likely using same techniques), and now the result is?.... likely pretty bad for the entire Republican party for at least one term, but quite possibly many.
This is good for no one, regardless of which way you lean. So unless your political outlook is 100% Trump or nothing, then you should really be happy this abuse of democracy is being exposed.
Thanks for sorting it out - it really is appreciated! In future though, it might be worth having some kind of "service status" message somewhere; ideally on the site itself, but if not, Twitter would've done.
As it was, I was wondering if/. was down for good.
...but what does "the most powerful" atomic clock do as opposed to just a "powerful" one?
"powerful" is not something I can immediately quantify when it comes to time keeping.:-|
Essentially, everything you think you understand about clocks is wrong. Clocks don't measure time... they actually warp the fabric around what the clock face shows, hence, a more powerful clock is capable of warping time more accurately and/or over a wider area.
I'm 99% certain I've killed off all this telemetry crap in previous versions of FF, but I recently noticed it's writing crap in the datareporting directory... I _don't think_ it's transmitting it anywhere, but it's still annoying that it has to keep writing all this stuff out. And apparently not cleaning up after itself either.

You realise your point is somewhat undermined by the fact he died right?
I would imagine staff have access.
yeah, but... no logs?!

It *is* crazy cool considering it is real though.
I don't know who started this rumour, but if I ever find out, I'll see them in court!!!

Facebook should be shutdown, and Zuckerburg will need to be hanged at the town square for his crimes against humanity.
Firm but fair.

Not space-grayey enough!
+1 I liked that!

Of-course, *now* I have to look for a video that actually tells me what a Klein bottle actually is!

Antikythera Mechanism supported e-commerce and mobile payments. So they're clearly talking bollocks.

Quantum is awesome. You are wrong! ;-)
Honestly, I've given FF a hard time over recent releases but Quantum really does seem like a huge improvement... I find it waaaay more responsive.
Use Firefox ESR until the extensions you need are ported?
Why are your todo lists so top secret? What are you planning? I'm forwarding this to the authorities.
What ever it is, I suspect you're now at the top that list! :D

So any news on that?!!
