This is still the current behavior. A hidden thumbs.db file is created in the folder with the images.
It's only current behaviour if you're still on Windows XP. Windows Vista and later store them in your %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\ folder.
Until Windows XP, yes, Windows Explorer stored images in the thumbs.db file inside the related folder.
Having all these thumbs.db files being held open by Explorer, though, led to common problems being unable to rename folders, etc., so since Windows Fista they have been stored in your %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer folder, i.e.: inside C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\...
And FFS, fix the search functionality in powerpoint so that it works like the rest of office and doesn't "helpfully" remember previous searches.
I thought it was a huge improvement when MS integrated Lookout search into Outlook 2010. However the actual search input control in recent versions of Outlook is in desparate need of some fixing, too. I had to paste a search query into it the other day because it kept rewriting what I had typed into a previous search term. Fucking useless.
In case you didn't notice credit card companies pre-approve the loan amount to you - that's what's called a credit limit. It shouldn't matter what you spend that credit on.
If credit card companies are worried about what you're spending your pre-approved credit limit on perhaps they approved you for too much credit in the first place. Shame on them for being greedy fuckers.
You really should have a look inside a USB 3.0 plug some time. Besides the four regular USB 1.x/2.x contacts up front there are five new contacts further in.
Steam will be removed from apple as they do censorship in there app store.

Google will have no control over what its users (the military) actually do with the technology. A simple AI-based robot that can identify and open doors will become a weapon as soon as the military fits a gun, mustard gas or some other biohazard to it.
To use a car analogy... it's like Ford promising cars are perfectly safe, meanwhile millions of people around the world are injured or killed in car accidents (in cars provided by all manufacturers).

Honda's excuse was that "it requires specialised recalibration of the sensor for the automatic wipers."
This isn't exactly Apple's first time considering entry into the advertising business. Apple also tried to buy AdMob in 2010 but they got outbid by Google.
I mean really, get a notice in the mail once a year, mail in some money and a few weeks later put a sticker on my license tag. Once a year.
Why, though? Why should you even have to mess around with a sticker once per year?
Australia, for example, is so inundated with ALPRs that their collective Departments of Transport did away with the annual registration stickers a few years back. The ALPRs are on all the major roads and highways and will send you a nice, automated infringement notice and SPER fine for driving an unregistered vehicle should you somehow forget to pay your annual registration.
The IEA.org page referenced in TFA doesn't mention it and the actual paper itself could be written more clearly, but I'm guessing that it's kWh/year...
Demand for energy for space cooling in the United States appears to have levelled off in recent years, mainly due to market saturation with improvements in energy efficiency largely offsetting the impact of population growth, migration to hotter parts of the country and rising outdoor temperatures. Demand over 2011-16 averaged 560 TWh per year, only 2.5% higher than over 2001-10 (consumption fluctuates markedly with annual variations in the weather). In 2016, cooling made up about 10. 5% of the total energy use in buildings in the United States , followed by Mexico ( 9.8 %), Japan (9. 5%), China (9. 3%) and Korea (8.5%).
The enormous disparities in access to space cooling across the world are reflected in per-capita levels of energy consumption, which vary from as little as 70 kilowatt hours (kWh) in India to more than 800 kWh in Japan and Korea and as high as 1880 kWh in the United States (Figure 1.9). Africa has some of the hottest places on the planet but AC ownership is still typically below 5%. Consumption of electricity for cooling there amounted to a mere 35 kWh per person on average in 2016. Even in Europe, which has a relatively mild climate, the average electricity consumed per person for space cooling is still more than all the electricity used per person in buildings in Africa, Brazil and Indonesia, which have much hotter climates and far greater cooling needs.
"The bug was patched as soon as possible and we have no evidence that any customer information was accessed," the spokesperson added.
Really? By no evidence do you mean that no activity log files were created or stored? Because elsewhere in TFA it says:
Although the API is understood to be used by T-Mobile staff to look up account details, it wasn't protected with a password and could be easily used by anyone.
It seems silly to focus on devices like Alexa and Google Home when they have relatively small market penetration and are less capable of spying on us than the cellular and GPS-equipped monitoring devices we slip into our pockets whenever we go *anywhere*.
Amazon Alexa and Google Home are an open invitation to hackers and TLAs, though, with the ability for third parties to add Skills and Actions respectively.
You'd think with all the well publicized vulnerabilities, exploits and breaches over the last couple of decades with all kinds of internet-connected devices people would be smart enough to never, ever being Alexa- and Home-like devices into their homes. Clearly, though, people are just all kinds of stupid.
Break out the popcorn, folks. The news is just around the corner about all the Skills/Actions exploits doing the rounds that Amazon/Google will never be able to keep up with.
In the world of astronomy even the planets of our own solar system come and go.
In the 1800s it was thought that our solar system contained 11 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Vesta, Juno, Ceres, Pallas, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. (No Pluto.)
In a few years Vesta, Juno, Ceres, Pallas and Pluto might be considered planets again. Then, in conjunction with this new discovery, we'll be up to 13 planets.
Valve isn't kidding when it says a Wi-Fi router in the 5Ghz band is required for wireless streaming.
This is completely false. Of course it works better over a wired LAN connection, but I've used SteamLink without problems over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi even with cheap shit DLink, Netgear and (Cisco-)Linksys routers. Maybe the problem is the OP's Actiontec MI424WR and/or local interference (e.g.: from unshielded Chinese microwave ovens).
"What's the definition of a sailor?" he [Richard Jenkins] asks while launching one of the drones off the Alameda dock. "A primitive organism for turning beer into urine."
I was just thinking the same thing. Only a couple of months ago I dropped $90K cash on a new car.
The government needs to decide whether cash is still a legal currency or not and then either stop trying to fuck with it or completely eliminate it from the economy.

Yes, it was incompetence, i.e.: NEC sold a capability they couldn't actually provide.
You probably need to replace your Crapple keyboard, looks like none of the vowel keys are working any more.

I'm sure you meant privacy flaws. Privacy laws don't even work on IPv4.

This is directed at MS, not you chispito: and yet the "G" in the current acronym is "Git". How vendor agnostic is it, really?

Nope. No way. Not even.

Did you even bother read the rest of my comment? In Australia they don't have registration stickers any more. At all. Never ever more.
Why should anybody have yearly stickers? They're completely pointless.

We're talking about Cisco here. What makes you think it's an either/or choice?
I have no idea what a "notch" has to do with a smartphone.
AFAIK Notch is that guy who wrote Minecraft.
