It did have multitasking, and the built-in BASIC had windowing primitives. It was built on the 68000 series just like the Amiga, which also meant it didn't suffer from Intel's bizarre paged memory scheme.
Meanwhile, shady "affiliates" continue to launder money for crime lords through the site with impunity, and Amazon does nothing because they're getting a cut. As long as the police don't get involved, Amazon will happily let it slide.
I've had two SSDs die utterly. It wasn't because there was a failure of any part of the actual storage pathways: it was irreparable failure of the embedded controller circuits. The Flash itself was still fine and safely storing all my data, but there was no means to access it. At least with a platter drive if the PCB fails, you can unscrew and detach it and replace it with a matching PCB from another drive; no way to do that with an SSD. Early on when manufacturers were spending all their time hyping the comparative robustness of the Flash medium, they conveniently forgot to mention how fragile and not-so-robust the embedded third-party controller circuits could be.
GMail is more than just its HTTP interface, which is where this bug manifests. For the idiots who don't know the difference, there is nothing wrong with GMail's SMTP or POP3 or IMAP servers; you can use those safely (well... it's still Google) from any standalone e-mail client you might choose. The ONLY thing you should avoid - and honestly you should have been doing it long before now - is GMail DOT COM and its HTTP Webmail interface to the underlying service.
Treatment is the quite difficult and expensive part of the equation. I note that the app does nothing to treat the symptoms of what it detects, but instead gives other "professionals" increased opportunity to profit from it.
RSS feeds are also supported in Thunderbird, which is where is makes sense to deliver them: right alongside other streams of communication. I'll be pissed if they "come for RSS" in Thunderbird.
Years ago I happened to stumble upon stories about how some of these "pirate" stations took up residence in offshore military installations left over from World War II. I spent the better part of a day reading about ingenuity and innovation of those stations in particular. To my knowledge we never had anything comparable in the USA, which is a big shame; apparently after the Revolutionary War we ceded our revolutionary mindsets back to British citizens?
Is anyone else sick and tired of the illegal robocalls that spoof names and numbers of individual humans? They easily make up more than 90% of my incoming calls now, and the spoofed numbers change so frequently that I'm worried I'll hit the wall and not be able to block any more numbers. None of the government entities responsible for shielding us from such fraud are doing anything to stop it.
I don't discount that possibility, since I accounted for it in the phrase "because one is an idiot incapable of being fluent in any language". Such a person will repeat the same stupid mistake with any language he only learns phonetically and otherwise not fully.
Regardless, the question that demands an answer is: did the current Slashdot editor(s) also only learn English phonetically, or did they approve the submitter's stupid mistake for some other equally stupid reason? In either instance, why are they employed in an editorial role?
When one isn't fluent in English, either because it's not the primary language or because one is an idiot incapable of being fluent in any language, the result is minor mayhem like replacing "without further ado" with "without further due".
Why do Slashdot editors exist at all, if not to maintain that fluency when submitters cannot?
What the inventors don't want you to think about is that this is essentially a consumable product. Polymers de-polymerize and lose their beneficial properties over time, especially when exposed to solar radiation... which is the intended point of this stuff. It will have to be replaced repeatedly as it fails.
This solution to the problem is akin to Big Pharma's tactics: rather than develop one-time permanent solutions, they concoct band-aids that require a lifetime subscription to get any benefit.
Of the two Steves that founded the company, Steve Jobs was the one who lacked ethics. This idiot idolized the wrong Steve. You would think, since he claims to be an engineer, that he would choose to idolize a fellow engineer and not an amoral salesman.
Nope, a copy/paste buffer is not used in the process, at least not with KeePass2Android. You haven't actually used it, have you? The only way you compromise anything is if you can swipe my phone right out of my hands with the database unlocked.
It's curious that there's no mention at all of KeePass and its Android integration apps like the one I use, KeePass2Android. It uses an alternative keyboard to manually inject usernames and passwords, so is it vulnerable to the same trickery?
Slashdot Mirror
So stupidity is the solution to avoiding that repeat behavior? Good to know.
It did have multitasking, and the built-in BASIC had windowing primitives. It was built on the 68000 series just like the Amiga, which also meant it didn't suffer from Intel's bizarre paged memory scheme.
Nobody knows about the Sinclair QL. If they know the name Sinclair at all, it's only for the lesser Z80 cousin that preceded it.
I've been saying this for a decade. The conclusion didn't require a team of overpaid researchers to deduce.

Get yourself a real e-mail client.

Did Big Pharma quietly fund this? They do love their lifetime subscriptions. This is right up their alley.
I hope that network includes some "open" satellites with which anyone can communicate, like public webcams on the Internet now.

What problem does this app solve, again?

That's an exception. You can spare it the flames.
Certificate issuance has become yet another excuse to indulge rent-seeking behaviors. Just burn it all down.

So what the buyer got for 1.3 million dollars was unique first-of-its-kind performance art....
