I tried Thunderbird the other day. I didn't expect it but on first start you provide it email address and password, and it sets itself up automatically, even with a free yahoo mail account.
4. Weak password and/or high password reuse are enough to get you hijacked, and Yahoo doesn't lock you out or require a mobile phone number like microsoft and gmail do.
This is a good feature by the way. They tried to get me to provide a phone member, and to convert my account to a "social media" one but it was easily clicked through and they stopped buggering me about it. So, you get long term webmail that doesn't lock you out. Your webmail can be locked if hijacked, but this can be recovered after a waiting period and once a new password is set you aren't getting hijacked. It's probably better to get webmail service elsewhere, but there doesn't seem to be many non paid options.
It's maybe half decent to only ever use it for phone calls. Don't have any friend on it, don't ever use chat or video, don't even call Skype users, only phones.
I like the concept of floor heating, even possibly electricity based - it seems it would fit well with strong insulation and minimal use of heating.
Air flow is a big issue. the house (or one story flat!) should have good airflow.That's one of the bigger issue with crappy small housing, or any housing for that matter. Stale air makes feel like shit. A room should even be dedicated to washing clothes and shit like sheets, blankets, towels. just room to have them dry out, and dry out conveniently and timely. wow! I don't care much if the house has to use brick walls, or concrete, or compressed hay and old tires etc. and passive, solar blah blah as long as it's thick enough for cheap enough. Matching the 100 to 300 year old houses in your area might be good though I have no idea what it costs.
So, heat flow and air flow are a must but don't leave out the flow of sound waves! Room sizes, shapes and materials ought to be mathematically optimized for sound quality and isolation. That's a huge and permanent upgrade for whatever speakers you're using and that's one of the things that will be still there 100 years down the road and can't be replaced. I should be able to host illegal rogue concerts in the main room (even if not having that many or that big other rooms)
I'm more concerned about needing to take a shit while you're mother or father is having a bath, or wanting to e.g. wash teeth while $very_important_person is shitting and is taking long.
Not that you badly need it, but technically there are now consumer SSDs with about 2GB/s of real performance. So, these are rich man's toys but you could transfer 100GB of crap out of a laptop without planning for the transfer time. Or add a 10Gbe NIC to a laptop, and that's about it without going to weird PCIe/PCI enclosures you can't find anyway. Well, in truth Apple sells a small 1GBe NIC for cheap enough, that must be the most common use of Thunderbolt.
If this Daimler truck gets accepted on the roads it will then allow drivers to sleep at the wheel on highways. (which they do already, but that doesn't always end well). Or eat, read, etc. That's a good thing, but there's no way in hell you're getting rid of the driver in that scheme.
What's got project Loon to do with data plans in developed areas? Data plans are small or expensive because the spectrum is finite and there's no real way around it. So, on a cheap plan you may have a lot of voice, unlitimited SMS and say 300MB of data transfer per month.
If that calendar is a shared one and you need to sync the calendar but don't do all day long because internet access is unavailable, then it won't get synced.
Its competition is somehow x86 hardware like quad core Atom and Athlon on AM1 boards. Intel has the Haswell Celeron too, which has some serious CPU power actually. Tegra X1 would be about in the "good enough" category but I'd like it better with 8GB memory.
I mean, take an old PC with 2GB to 4GB RAM, out of a 4GB practical maximum. The Tegra X1 console box would be a very nice upgrade/side-grade : quad core, power use slashed by 10x, latest gen GPU that decodes H264 etc. and with all 3D features. But were you to buy new PC hardware instead, you would get a 16GB memory ceiling on low end motherboards. With the Tegra computer, RAM is lowish (for a 2015 desktop) and fixed for the entire device's life.
Might not be universally true anymore. Check the terms:)
Hotmail used to delete all your mailbox if you didn't check it for six monthes (just the content, you could then start using it again). I think they stopped doing that. But back then I lost all my email (not much used or for unimportant registrations etc.) and stopped using them. With 100x bigger hard drives etc. they don't play these games anymore I think.
Modern issue is getting "helpfully" locked out of your account, microsoft or google. I have a friend who cannot access his account at all. He registered using an old friend's cell phone number at the time. The location based lock out is very creepy as he once could access mail in another place in the same city, but at a newer place in the same city he was locked out. So.. if you have an ISP email that says you still can use it after leaving the ISP it may be a lot safer! (the @ispname.com gives them a bit of advertising). Microsoft and Google blackmail you into giving them your personal data else your account may get locked and thus you may lose contacts and important messages.
This thing is looking great to use as a desktop (though the 3GB RAM is not an upgrade over an old PC on ddr2). It is perfect for the vast library of OpenGL 4.5 linux games for ARMv8 that I can't wait to play! Wait.. ok, while waiting for great ARM linux games you'll play such great titles as xpilot, imaze and one out of 12 doom ports that you can actually get to run easily enough.
If you can't do the logs rollover thing right, you probably can't do failover right. The diagnostic computer will be fine for 2^16-1 seconds, after which it will continuously reboot the main computer (or it will do so because of a slightly less silly bug). The main computer, if correctly serviced by the diagnostic computer will enter a boot/crash/reboot infinite loop because the log issue is still there unchanged, so it will crash within 15 seconds.
That looks surprisingly realistic, even though it still doesn't make any sense. It's like a bigger scale Berlin airlift rather than something entirely ridiculous. Getting water from big airports and military airfields to the people is left as an exercise.

Eventually all DVD players ended being sold at "region 0", i.e. ignore all DVD regions. But it seems they made an exception for the US market!

Just zero the file out, "military strength" overwrite is useless.

You might faintly hope for some USB 3 type C shit there, where they can wire Displayport to.
I'd want a 1600x900 panel though, as 1080p is just stupidly thin.
It looks like they doubled to 30 PB a year ; LHC second run doubles the data output.

I think guns should be strongly encrypted and acknowledge that I set the "do not shoot" bit on myself.

If you wanted to rely on that output, say write to a csv file, the data in the csv file is then effectively corrupt.

(replying to myself) Part of above comment is fairly stupid, as this whole story is about a fact that a reboot will clear the csv file. whoops!
And you can easily extract data from it with a simple set of Unix commands like this! :
cat beacon.csv | tail -n 80| head -n 10
