I don't think you addressed the core of AC's complaint.
The summary uses the term "popular phones and tablets." What does "popular" mean?
Even in TFA it says:
A contract obtained by The Verge requires Android device makers to regularly install updates for any popular phone or tablet for at least two years.
What does "popular" mean?
To answer my own question on what's "popular," TFA goes on to say:
The terms cover any device launched after January 31st, 2018 that’s been activated by more than 100,000 users.
How many individual models of Android phones and tablets actually reach sales and activations of 100,000 units? I expect to the majority of phone and tablet buyers this will continue mean absolutely nothing: same old neglect and no updates.
"$15,000 worth of training and certifications" is probably more than necessary.
Flying model aircraft pilots, depending on how good they are, will spend $100-$300 on lessons before they can pass their Bronze Wings tests (administered by the national aeromodelling organisation in each country) and then many more hours flying at registered aeromodelling airfields practising for the Gold Wings test that allows them to participate in organised aerobatics and racing competitions.
I'm not against enforcing that drone pilots go through such training. Drone pilots should also have to pay for public liability insurance every year just like the aeromodelling pilots are required to do.
The $3 billion is equivalent to half of all IBM's R&D expenditure last year, but others have pointed out that this amount of funding spread out over five years essentially maintains IBM's current chip research spending levels.
If any of you sat in a tech support call center for one day you'd realize that few end users are reading and understanding the manuals we've been providing.
I have worked tech support before. What your statement tells me is that your company can't write a good manual to save themselves. I feel sorry for your users.
My cheap chinese 3D printer from Anycubic came with an assembly manual. It was clear, concise and didn't have any errors. And it was colour to boot. And there was a PDF version on the SD card that came with the printer and the PDF version is available for download on their web site.
You should to a password reset on the account via https://iforgot.apple.com/pass..., which will be processed via your email address after all, and lock out all the connected devices.
The linked video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AvXOlcFmPU) doesn't show you anything of the game play you'll experience. Despite the 1600 x 1440 per eye resolution it could still be Gameboy-like for all we know.
The decent search solution for Outlook was the third party solution, Lookout. Microsoft bought them out, integrated it into Outlook and fucked it up royally.
If only it were just Outlook. All Microsoft applications do the same thing (just different folders), instead of using the %TEMP% folder like they tell all of us to use.
It's gotten worse since the "Program Data" folder became a thing as third party developers decided that was a great place to stash all of their temp files instead of the %TEMP% folder.
The great thing about Standards is everyone has their own.
... all the temporary folders created by programs in the %LOCALAPPDATA% folder hierarchy.
e.g.: Whenever you open a file attachment in Outlook it gets saved into [C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\H83V4PYQ], which is not your temp folder [C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp] and, despite the [INetCache] in there, this folder does not get touched by cache clean up in Internet Options.
None of this gets cleaned up by the Disk Cleanup Wizard and I doubt this new tool will help with that either.
Here's hoping they nix the "You need updated 32/64-bit Windows Drivers" messages that keep overlaying YouTube videos, too. I don't even own a Windows computer.
I agree that the foundations seem too small, https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... I'm only guessing that after the turbine got struck by lightning last year the feathering control systems were offline as well, i.e.: the turbine blades didn't get feathered against the typhoon's winds.
@TimSweeneyEpic is just acting like a spoilt child. Epic has published the Fortnite installer patch and Google has acted according to their publicy posted Responsible Disclosure policy, https://www.google.com/about/a...
You should have a browse through the CERT database some time. Last time I checked (earlier this year) there were over 360 advisories for hard coded credentials in Cisco products - and each advisory typically mentions multiple products.
Didn't the horse already bolt five years ago? I seem to remember New South Wales police posting videos on YouTube showing how easily 3D printed guns from Defense Distributed blew up, https://www.smh.com.au/technol...
It's generally required to deliver different content to different browsers because they all ignore the standards in different ways.
Check out this simple example for coloring a DIV tag which, surprisingly, Edge gets right and every other browser renders incorrectly - and wildly different from each other: https://twitter.com/martijn_cu...

You guys are hilarious. China was doing science while Americans were still playing with bows and arrows.

Don't know why parent got modded down, they're absolutely correct. People should read up on LD50 (median lethal dose) before recklessly modding down.

That's good, because it's been crap in every other iOS.

Renault had RKES on their Fuego in the 1980's.

We did too little when we could back in the 70s and now we're too late and we're hosed.
You mustn't be remembering the 70s correctly... back then it was the threat of the Mini Ice Age.

Same people. Different news story.

AT&T and Verizon are attempting to save you all from sleep deprivation by selling slow speed ADSL plans for the same price as fibre!

Already proven to work. And your dock cables can just pass out via the crack in the fridge door.
Apple and Hewlett Packard get a free pass? Come on, EU, how about some consistency?
