A little bit of heat makes things move easier. They haven't detailed a novel method of applying and controlling such heat relative to the application. It looks like nothing more than trying to patent a simple feedback loop. Seems obvious.
It left my laptop with no access to the settings menu and all that comes with it, and therefore no access to windows update. That's on top of the long standing issue of the screen never blanking and the machine never sleeping. If I select sleep from the menu, it just shuts down. It's not the laptop itself. A Windows 7 installation works just fine.
The same laptop is now installing Ubuntu. It's been about 12 years since I last ran a Linux install. If the Steam Linux client is as good as I'm hearing, then Windows has finally reached a point of no return.

Unless there has been a comparable increase in the rate of change of the number of divorce applications, then this is a non-story.
People who want a divorce, that are required to give reason to get one, will find one. If it wasn't Fortnite, it would be something else. If it wasn't computer games, it would be something else.
... who crafted an online identity for himself, had it cut off by the State and the company Valve. And he didn't handle it well. And now people are dead.
Go ahead and blame the guy by all means, but this is a mental health issue. In particular, this is a mental health issue that all of society is to blame for. In particular the state, and the company that profits from the skin gambling, Valve.
Sure. Nobody should be a dick like that. But neither should Valve, nor the State, nor the rest of society. Society created this monster. Society and the profit greed of companies and politicians.
Good point. I have a Samsung S6 that no longer gets OS updats and when it did the major upgrades were always 6-9 month late.
No Oreo cookies for you. Go chew on some yummy (or not so yummy) Nougat instead. The current security patch for a S6 is still 01.03.18 though.
My S6 is starting to get clunky in use. I can handle the lack of Major updates if it means holding off the deteriorating performance (new battery btw). It's been three years now. It would work just fine as a phone for another two.
Cheaper (and no-name) phones have fared far worse for updates.
Whilst it might be a promising contribution to global health (Hey, I'm an Australian), it's the other 20% we need to worry about. One step forwards, two steps back.
A job is something you stay at. Long term benefits traded for long term benefits on both sides, including protection.
A gig is short term. A stepping stone. You don't stand for long on any individual stepping stone. Great upside in a rising economy, with a potential downside when the economy falters. There's still a trade of benefits. That part doesn't change.
Both can be called careers. That's the personal development side. Beware however, employees and employers both. You reap what you sow.
My 128MB S6 edge just received another update. That's three years out from the date of purchase. But I'd be disappointed with anything less than five years support from Samsung for a phone they stuck a full retail $1600AU price tag on.
Maybe it should be a function of price? You pay less, you get less. But you can only make an informed decision if the manufacturer is required to make a minimum commitment.
And so it would appear that it is the US Patent Office that is invalid, not the patents themselves. The patents may have had merits, but the patent office has none.
"Selfishness? Just because people are using the information that's available to them?"
Well yes, actually. Let's go back a few years. About 20 years to be exact. In a city on the other side of the world to most of the USA. We had a power cut. City wide. In winter. For two days straight.
I've never gotten to work faster. Without traffic lights, people gave way. Without the enforced controls that those traffic lights provide, every.single.driver assessed the immediate (visual range) traffic conditions and let the busiest routes through. Mine was not the busiest route. But when those on the busiest routes play the same game the same way, everybody wins. Traffic lights alone cannot achieve the same. Their fixed rules are too simple
Fast forward to today and tell me what has changed. Business is selfish. And the employees play the same game. The mapping apps are no better than the traffic lights alone from 20 years ago. Fixed rules are replaced by selfish ones. Matters are worse. We will need an order of magnitude faster computing power and mobile network bandwidth to make a difference. And centralized control. In a decentralized control world.
I foresee a world where paying more for an Uber get's you there faster.
I don't need a law. I just need a router with a Firewall. And I have one.
As an Australian though, unless they advertise such a "feature" at the point of sale, I can take it back. It's clearly broken, and not working as advertised or expected. And if they advertise it, then nobody will buy it. Furthermore, if they all do it together, I can demonstrate collusion.
Worst case, some cheap Chinese manufacturer lies waiting in the wings to take advantage of such a situation. Best case, the Japanese manufacturers will not fail face.

So, is this a recruitment drive for Facebook hidden behind a Slashdot submission or something?
Drugs and sex on the job? Sign me up.
Just shut em down for fucks sake. They don't care, at all. Not one little bit.The entire concept of social contract escapes them.
I don't do social media. Not at all. And yet I can't escape them.
Suckerburged again!
It should become synonymous with willingly having the wool pulled over your eyes.

Yes. Including Valve,social Media, the State, and Society at large. As well as the youngster concerned.
You must be one of those "guns aren't the problem" people.

And bring back the IR emitter while we're at it.
I'm assuming you were joking when asking for a feature that you would struggle to find something to talk to...
Maybe they should remove the stereo jack as well. Maybe they have.

What a disgusting crock of shit. This post was +5 America at one stage. Hopefully it becomes -1 disgusting in time.
When you have a gun, it becomes easy to stand at a distance from your prey and end their life. All you need to do is find them.
The bloggers issue is entirely separate from +1 guns. Guns just make ending a life easy.

They should state an end date at purchase.
Time to call a top.

One Japenese band, one Chinese Poo-bah, several people I work with who bought into ICO's, way too much money.
Time to call a top.
They should have no right to record and analyze. Full stop. Even if the caller is human.

LOL's for nerds, editors don't matter.
How much Blizzard code exactly, has been copied, to produce the non-Blizzard server?
Kim Jong-un says hello. Give it time. He will.

It's a non question, anyway you look at it.
I'm looking at the in-hex screws holding it all together. Some people call them capscrews. Thais tells me a lot about the product and those making it.
