I understand your point and I agree that genearlly, if a car ever hits a pedestrian the fault lies with the driver.
Generally, maybe, but not always. I was unfortunate enough to attend car-vs-pedestrian accident a few years back. I was in the car behind the car that did the hitting. The driver was held blameless because the eyewitness statements and dashcam footage all showed pedestrian stepped off the footpath, saw the car and got back on the footpath then, for reasons never determined, stepped back in front of the car with no notice. She did not survive.
In truth it's the ALPR software limitations. They already can't differentiate between 0 and O, 1 and I. What chance would they have with several hundred new multicolour emoji?
Is it bottom of the barrel? I think it's healthy to stop and think about how password managers get used. If it makes you reconsider keeping your password manager open and unlocked all day every day, as opposed to only when you need it, this is a benefit. I'd never considered the implications of the Show/Hide Asterisks feature in KeePass, for example.
It's also important to remember: an attacker might have access to the memory of your computer, in which case you've lost the battle for your computer, but if they can also score all your usernames and passwords as well, that really does give them the keys to the kingdom.
The problem is that in Windows 10 and the later versions of Windows server not even Administrator is Administrator.
UAC has been around since at least Windows Vista. Has nobody ever shown you the Run as Administrator options so you can do administrative things with the Administrator account?
I don't think you've been paying attention. Numerous Android and iOS apps are merely Angular, Ionic, etc. web applications running inside a Cordova container. On the Linux/MacOS/Windows desktops numerous apps (e.g.: Slack, VS Code) are merely web applications running inside a some kind of NodeJS container like Electron.
Oh, the Christians might be upset about a trivialization of Jesus?
They don't seem to mind wasting their money at Christmas time. Heaven forbid we should forget the day Jesus was born, pass me another present so I can celebrate the religion of Commercialisation!
However, these laws are typically about forcing manufacturers to change design decisions to accommodate tinkerers and third-party repairers, or to make schematics, guides, and tools available.
In case you were unaware, manufacturers already have to produce these materials for their registered service agents. Under RTR they're not having to create anything new, they just have to provide it to everybody on a fair and reasonable basis.
We're constantly reviewing apps -- including those listed in the researcher's report -- and will take action when they do not comply with our policies.
By taking action they mean laughing maniacally at all the extra advertising revenue they're raking in.
Don't assume 3D printers can only print plastic made out of corn starch (PLA).
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) printers fall into the 3D printer category and can print anything that can be powdered. NASA/JPL 3D prints rocket bells, for example, out of smoothly varying mixtures of titanium and iron powder.
LSAM (Large Scale Additive Manufacturing) printers are used to print 20ft long helicopter blades out of carbon fiber reinforced Polyethersulfone.
Developer ids and signed software was to provide a level of assurance to the downloader user.
No they weren't. It's to confirm that the software came from the identified party, it doesn't provide any guarantee that the enclosed software is all nice and pretty and not going to completely fuck over your computer. This is the same problem is SSL/TLS certificates on HTTPS sites - people mistakenly assume trust where it's only conveying identity.
Clearly these developer ids should be invalidated (revoked) in a MacOS update, no?
...there being no other way to sideload onto the OS is an extreme level of control over a platform.
That's completely wrong. You can install your own self-signed certificates, or any other Server Identity or Authenticode certificates, on iOS devices. The procedure is no different than installing a Provisioning Profile with an Apple-supplied code signing certificate which is what enterprises need to do before installing their own (supposed-to-be-internal-use-only) apps.
Isn't it a message to every enterprise everywhere that Apple are in total control of your platform and can disable your work without notice or warning, rendering any investment you made worthless?
They're not, though. You can still install self-signed certificates on iDevices and then any apps code signed with those certificates. What Apple has done is enforce its ToS for Enterprise certificates by revoking Facebook's and Google's Apple-supplied code signing certificates - they're only meant to be used for internal apps.
FYI GlobalSign, Microsoft and all other Authenticode certificate authorities have Terms of Service as well and they can revoke the certificates you purchase from them at any time.
Another common trend nowdays is to take previously free features and move them a login-required paywall, especially on mobile devices but often on desktops as well.
Of course songs are getting shorter due to streaming. When marketing wants to tout "streams per month" numbers the easiest way to increase that figure is by making songs shorter so streaming robots can loop them more times/month.
The RAZR was bad software, to be sure. The radio stack kept on silently crashing meaning you'd stop receiving calls and messages. The only way you found out it wasn't working was when you tried to make a call or send an SMS and it just sat there looking stupid. Awful phone, they should have stayed in the grave.
While the whole thing seems like a nanny state situation... isn't two months grace period far too long? In two months viral videos have spread far and wide and earned mountains of advertising revenue for the content creator. In two months the peak viewing audience has pretty much moved on to the next big thing... like an egg.

So yes, they're web apps, just running locally.

On the plus side, this should be the last set of Windows 10 updates for Windows 7.

It only delivered "approximately" 108,000 fruits.
It's already differentiated as FTTN (fibre to the node) and FTTD (fibre to the door).
Avast isn't part of the kernel. It's a user-space service taking advantage of networking hooks.

Firefox uses its own Necko engine for the network stack. (No, that's not a typo.)
I don't see an AVR release anywhere. I guess IoT means ARM or x64 now.
