Yeah, that would make sense if practically every single mobile plan sold today didn't include unlimited call minutes, but limited data. The carriers would much rather the call be VoIP - they stand to make more money from packetized data than voice.
Now only if Apple had been shipping a trackpad that can use multitouch gestures for like 6 years now. Oh wait, they have. Basically any Mac model still in use in any quantity can "pinch to zoom."
Now only if you could build some kind of space where people could meet into your office plan in order to collaborate... I know, you could even have a way of scheduling these get-togethers so that people can prepare, and not get blindsided by when they happen! In fact, you could even mount some kind of board on the wall of these spaces that could be erased easily, so as to allow diagrams and charting to be done right on the wall, to help facilitate the discussion...
No, that's all crazy. Let's just have a big open space where everyone is up in everyone else's shit and it's just a cacophony and nobody can concentrate on anything.
They are lazy, but they haven't been NIH people for quite some time - in fact, NIH is anathema to the truly lazy developer.
The pinnacle of laziness for software development is finding some library or framework already on the Internet that does what you need to do in the particular situation you are in, and you import the whole bloody thing without so much as looking at all the other shit it brings along with it. Do this 30 or 40 times and glue it together with the flavor of the week language and ship it with only the most rudimentary of testing.
Now that's lazy, and it's a pattern we're seeing far more frequently.
It's not bait-and-switch if new information invalidates people's incorrect assumptions that are based on zero relevant information from the manufacturers. Anyone who purchased a motherboard that didn't explicitly state compatibility with the upcoming "Coffee Lake" and expected compatibility was taking a gamble, and is personally liable for the result of that gamble.
It's bait-and-switch if Intel advertised that the new CPU would work in Kaby Lake motherboards, and then it didn't work. They didn't do that, and I'll bet real money that exactly zero motherboard manufacturers did that either.
And AMD was sticking with Socket-7 after Intel started using various different sockets and slots because reasons almost two decades ago. How is this news, again?
Was going to say - anyone remember the "Slot 1" debacle? And then after that turned out to suck and cause significant challenges, back to ZIF sockets halfway through the Pentium-3 products. They didn't even wait for a new architecture.
How is this news? They've literally been doing this for longer than 15 years.
Oh, I see. Working for a 100-year old company with a proven ability to survive, and isn't a massive risk taker is all of a sudden akin to winning the lottery.
Do yourself a favor: get out of the Bay Area. There are lots of stable companies out there that offer fair wages and compensation for fair work.
And when they go get that work in a non-union shop, and the union goes after that shop to unionize?
If a shop wants to toss the union under the decertification clause of the NLRA, or the state votes to become a right-to-work state busting the monopoly power of unions, you are good with that too?
Don't ever do a trade show at a hall with a union contract - you won't be allowed to plug in your power strip. You have to hire two (buddy system, apparently) union electricians to do it for you, because safety.
Because apparently when you walk through the doors of the Javitz Center in New York City, you forget how to plug a household lamp in without killing yourself and setting fire to the place.
So when we get actual data that shows that the injury rate is below the industry average, we should just blindly trust the industry union that is wailing on about safety? Sounds like union shops have more safety concerns, and they should be talking to the companies they already do business with...
They're also paying for the untold amount of terabytes of bloated app updates passing through their CDN. They have a pretty good per-month incentive to slim it down.
Under previous versions of Windows they had the "branch cache" service in the Enterprise edition. This would locally cache WSUS content if configured properly. Note that "configured properly" means having accurate records in Active Directory Sites and Services.
Remember, if you bought milk on the day he was hired, it will still be fresh* the day after this guy has been fired; though Scaramucci will probably be quite sour.
This guy was worse at his job than milk.
* yes, even in the US where we still use century-old pasteurization where other regions of the world have moved on to far better technology
What is this, 1996? Block all or nothing? How hard is it to figure out that he meant to only allow SMBv1 between the printer and this host, and then this host allows literally ANY OTHER PROTOCOL in order to connect and get the scanned images?
Never heard of setting up a print server to talk to some old pile of shit that still serves the purpose of putting ink / toner to paper, but uses outdated interfaces or protocols? It's the exact same thing.
Literally millions of people manage to unbox, set up, and use iOS devices every month. Don't you have to wonder what it is that these millions of people figure out without any problem whatsoever that still eludes you?
Custom power cable? It's a regular power cable with a plastic trim ring on it. The horror! Any standard 3-conductor AC power cable from any PC power supply that shipped in the last 15+ years will fit and work, as long as it isn't actually some proprietary horseshit. What an inconvenience, putting that completely unrequired trim ring on there and allowing any old cord you've got laying around to work!!
You're literally complaining about a well-fitting box, a well-fitting power cable, a power button you rarely even have to think about if you keep the default power management settings, and likely problems of your own creation by not using a properly configured Mobile Device Management solution with 1,000+ devices.
If these are the biggest problems with the products (again, a problem you likely caused through misconfiguration, a non-problem that only occurs for you in the first 5 seconds of multi-year ownership, and a non-problem with a plastic trim ring that isn't required) then I would count that as confirmation that the products are better designed than some of the competition.

What is the weather like 10 years ago?
Yeah, listening in on phone calls and permanently damaging diplomats is exactly the same thing.
Mother of false equivalence.
The embargo is still in place. Only Congress can roll that back.
The executive could eliminate the travel ban and normalize diplomatic relations. And that's what was done.
Now only if Apple had been shipping a trackpad that can use multitouch gestures for like 6 years now. Oh wait, they have. Basically any Mac model still in use in any quantity can "pinch to zoom."
If this is the biggest complaint that they have about Safari, then they are one of the happiest Safari users out there.

Until the refiners see that there is a major glut of product available, and they start turning that oil into something else besides gasoline
South Africa gave up their nuke program that actually produced six weapons, and they're doing just fine. No invasions or anything!

They also have the freedom to invite the UAW to suck it, but we don't hear you proclaiming that one nearly as loudly.
I see your anecdote, and raise you mine: I bought my house with the proceeds of exercising stock options and selling restricted shares.
Don't work for a failing company, and the stock actually has value.

this actually explains quite nicely what the fuck happened to my 512GB SSD...
It's a good comparison, except that step 6 on the Android list very rarely happens at all.
