To be fair, Apple had a true professional market not too long ago. Then they started acting like they knew better than the professionals and started making software and hardware that is not suited to meet the professionals' needs. So the pros went elsewhere.
At one point, the only two games in town for non-linear video edit were Apple and Avid. Then they dumbed down Final Cut Pro and made sure that it only runs it's best on inferior hardware. This has allowed Adobe Premiere back into the game, because they decided to go all-in with CUDA and Nvidia.
A bigger percentage of less energy-dense material per unit volume means more volume gets burned to create the same amount of energy. Add to that the amount of energy needed to create the ethanol, and does this actually make any difference whatsoever? Could it possibly actually make more total overall emissions?
At some point it becomes easier for the company to just be a good faith actor rather than spending untold effort, treasure, and hassle on trying to scam people.
Lawyers, fees, and fines aren't free. And "we stopped" isn't good enough to make a judge's orders go away - often court orders of this variety will require independent 3rd party verification at the expense of the defendant.
Lawyers are smart, and thought of this stuff long before you came along. Yes, the judge won't go doing all that work himself, but he will use the power of the bench to compel already existing law enforcement to do it. Through what means? A COURT ORDER.
How about we use existing layers and departments of government that have dealt with these situations in the past, setting existing precedent before we run off creating new, redundant layers?
Exactly. At least if the web client is written properly, a simple REST API command could send your message and open this thing up to a whole new class of functionality - automated notifications from 3rd party applications.
The user downloaded a sketchy compromised trojan horse app. This is remarkably easy not to do - millions upon millions of people manage to not do that every day.
Stop acting like you need some level of knowledge to not have your shit exploited - millions manage this feat every single day. They don't download sketchy apps from sketchy sources, or they actually pay attention to the parade of warnings that Android gives when you install an app, and that app is asking for permissions.
You're suggesting that people need some advanced knowledge in order to operate Android securely, which is patently false. If it was true, then Android is even more fucked up security-wise than I already thought, and I don't know why every single Android user isn't going through the proceedings of dealing with identity fraud right now.
No, but a Federal judge could order a company that continues operating against a court order to pay a daily fine until they stop, and could make that fine prohibitive to the company continuing to exist. Or they could order an import ban on the product should they exist outside the US. Or they could hold the officers of the company in contempt of court and throw them in jail.
There's a reason why companies don't fuck around in Federal court. A judge says you aren't allowed to do that, and you stop doing that. One way or the other.
I'm not saying that there can't be vulnerabilities elsewhere in the chain, but at least they thought about having that function available on OS platforms and hardware that they have absolutely no control over, and have no remedy to fix exploits of when it's loaded onto thousands of phones with dozens of combinations of hardware / software. And, BMW does not offer remote start capabilities - the most you could do is unlock the doors. You would still need to deal with any ignition immobilizer in place once you are inside, though that has been dealt with through the OBD2 interface in the past.
Still, we're talking about now exploiting multiple vulnerabilities in various systems, as opposed to getting a user to download some piece of shit app and have their car start for you.
In your reply you basically just said "but they have some backend system not running on a phone, and not running a phone OS, and not running a phone application that was exploited in a completely different way to achieve a completely different result!" It's moving the goalposts, and mostly irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Yeah, because using the ~/path/to/thing/in/home/directory shortcut that every single UNIX shell understands is hard.
You only care about/Users versus/home in incredibly rare cases, or if you are doing user management spectacularly wrong. Hint: if you want settings done system-wide, you use/Library/Preferences rather than ~/Library/Preferences; and that's not new - been that way since NEXTSTEP.
you do know that/usr/bin/ssh is an SSH client, right? As opposed to/usr/bin/sshd, which would be an SSH server?
Oh, but clearly because the term "SSH client" was used, you needed to make completely incorrect assumptions. Because you are an idiot and show it every single day.
To be fair, many high-end brands have teething issues with big changes. BMW's N54 engine (straight-6 twin turbo direct injection) had two high-pressure fuel pump recalls and a few VANOS firmware updates before it became reliable and turned into the amazing N55 (twin-scroll turbo) they are shipping in half their cars today.
DNC is not requesting it because they are a political organization and are aware of the political reality of being in the losing side of an election and continuing to fight and look like a sore loser.
These people are professionals - why take the bad press when you can get someone else to, while possibly getting the result you want? Sounds like good politics to me.
Why compromise thousands of voting machines, which are essentially embedded systems that are watched over by many people at many polling places, when all those machines all sent their results to a central something?
Compromising that central something would be easier, and allow for far more flexibility in hiding your rigging of the vote. And, if each state has a central something that all the districts check in with, you would only need to compromise two or three to influence an election, rather than thousands of embedded systems that are constantly watched.
Don't worry though - I'm sure that states absolutely won't move that central something to a cloud provider when sold on how they can save money...
You know that a majority of states actually have laws that say the electors must follow the direction of the vote in the state, right? They can't just do their own thing without penalties - civil in some states, criminal in others.
I'm waiting for his tax plan to get written up and submitted to the CBO for scoring, and then watching all the "fiscal conservatives" in the Congress squirm and flip-flop like a trout on the deck of a fishing trawler.
If what we heard about his tax plan during the campaign about exploding deficits is true. Or, if his actual tax plan has any resemblance to what was said during the campaign, which is looking increasingly unlikely through the lens of everything he's already backed away from...
So only "criminals" would be capable of finding exploitable vulnerabilities in code that anybody and everybody could look at? And they absolutely could not be found by professional auditors employed by the FEC, DNC, or RNC with the vast resources available to the Federal government, or the major parties that receive literally billions of dollars for these elections?
I've been to the DMV to be licensed in two states (Oregon, Ohio) and have not needed to be fingerprinted. Only time a government agency wanted my fingerprints has been for a concealed carry permit.
What state requires fingerprinting for a driver's license?
She's a useful idiot, funded by the donor class that have been directed towards her so that the DNC can keep their hands clean so they don't look like sore losers. Interesting that she's pulling in far more money for this than she could for most of her campaign, no? Also, her fundraising goal for this effort keeps climbing (over 300% so far), so maybe she isn't an idiot - more of a tool.
I miss the days when people actually took responsibility for doing stupid things.
Would you blame Ford if someone left the keys in their car when running into a convenience store and came back out to see their car gone? Because that's what you are doing here.

What are they supposed to do, buy all the parts manufacturers including Samsung and Intel?
If they can't get parts to fix it because they aren't being fabbed anymore, they can't fucking fix it, can they?
Some people just refuse to think before hitting submit, I guess...

States that use paper ballots by statute, like Michigan?
Who's a stupid fucker again, AC?
Remember when Trump was talking about a stolen election and everyone poo-poo'd it?
Funny how those same people are now screaming about a stolen election and massive multi-state fraud...

And the millionaires that donate to the DNC couldn't possibly have been prompted to donate to this effort. Maybe we'll see another DNC email hack...
Nope, just a [useful idiot | tool].
What.
