Not really a problem, though. So people can listen in on baby monitors when they're turned on. They're not always turned on. People turn them off when they're not using them.
Just India copying what other countries do. Space program - we'll have that. EU investigation into search engine ordering - done.
Not sure which country they're copying the "some guy did something wrong* so we'll sentence two of his sisters to being gang raped as a form of justice" thing from though. I suppose they have some originality after all. It's certainly a very very cheap way of running a legal system.
That's kind of a crucial one Google use to upgrade phones, check for malware and provide for a bunch of network stuff (Google cloud messaging, for example). You don't want to be fiddling with that.
Black screen for a bunch of seconds = slow, cheap phone, or faulty phone, or you're hovering over the presence detect and it's blanking the screen because it thinks it's your ear near the phone during a call and doesn't want you pressing buttons with it by accident.
Install adb (easiest way may be to just install Android Studio) then use it to "pm hide" whatever you want. No root required. This is in addition to just disabling an app via the usual settings thing.
This only works if someone has your PIN and a gun, and you don't have a gun. If they don't have a gun and that use this to get your PIN and then they tell you to give you your card, you just shoot them in the neck, make an ironic comment about them not needing your PIN, and go home. If they've got a gun and you haven't, then you're giving them the card and PIN anyway. There's like no scenario when you need to breath on the keys, press extra ones etc.
Does that scale? Sounds like a lot of non-productive typing to me. I think it's fair to expect Steam users to have enough technical experience or nous to understand that not every last wishlist item gets an essay or even a single sentence. At least they got a response and know that someone at least considered it.
But why can't they update *everything* using it? If they can't, why can't they introduce such a feature? Microsoft can update everything on their patch-tuesdays updates. Why can't Google? Google knows how broken and hopeless the upgrade situation is with android. Fewer than 1% are on the latest version (5.1) and most are on a 2+ year old version. Can you imagine the response if Microsoft said only users of Windows 10 were going to get security fixes when everyone's on xp and 7?
Why didn't Google leave Java as soon as this lawsuit kicked off? Just move to some other language, or provide some wrapper around c++ to keep the noobs happy. We'd be 3 years further along now. Must be galling for anyone at Google to see the "3 billion devices run java" splash screen when over a third of those are android devices they're getting sued over.
It's money, isn't it. "Why do you want to work here?". Money. Slightly different problems elsewhere. I'll move when it gets bad enough here. Sometimes it's funny watching management fail, too. Hey, they're paid more than me, and they're fucking stupid as shit. Yes, back in the day I raised concerns but.. You know... Management knows best. I'm not passionate about whatever the company I'm currently paid by happens to produce. What would be the odds of that? It's just a job.
Can't they use Google Play Services to roll out a fix to the various files which make up Android? If not, shouldn't such a tool be part of the next fix they roll out? Is there some problem - security or other- to adding/changing/removing system files, assuming the operation/process is signed?
Because when people are posting pics/messages to their friends on facebook they clearly don't care about privacy. The idiot problem...well, it's not a problem because you only see your friends, so it doesn't matter how many idiots are outside your network. It's Google+ that's full of idiots; whenever i follow a link (exclusively android developers because no-one else provides links to google+ pages) it's full of drivel from idiots, often religious, always with terrible english, like they're learning to type. I don't notice any ads on facebook. I'm not really a very heavy user; perhaps there are some, but there are adverts on tv/movies/websites so people are kind of used to them. Animated gifs? Get real.
When you come along years and years after someone else and do something sort of similar but different and with zero users, it's asking a bit much to expect people to sort of arrange for all their family and friends to move, and they'd have to get all their family and friends to move, etc. A massive upheaval, and all in the name of..what was it again? Animated gifs, and that it's "more in tune with your phone" whatever the fuck that means.
MySpace was the purest of shit; more like a sort of GeoCities "this is my first webpage...on the internet....under construction" hell. I'm no Facebook fanboy; i never post anything publicly and have an account for 2 reasons; messenger is excellent (and works properly, unlike hangouts where, when i try and share something with someone forgets what i've shared there and i have to do it again), and because literally everyone with an internet connection is already on it so i don't have to explain anything.
They wanted to drop water but couldn't because of the drones. Why, they were afraid they'd damage the drones in putting out a fire? Solution, drop water on the drones.
I imagine jamming the drones signals wouldn't be hard. Also, if this is something that's a persistant problem which can't be ignored, then i imagine a solution would be for the first responders to launch their own drones to take down the bad guy's. They would have a remote pilot so no need for the people doing the fire-fighting to waste resources.

It's because PGP is a piece of fucking shit; a UI disaster, and it will never take off.
Also, email is over.
You'll be wanting to focus your attention on end-to-end encryption on IM type chat clients such as Hangouts, Messenger etc.
Over a billion owners of Android devices disagree with you, or at least, couldn't care less.

Go be a racist prick somewhere else. Reddit isn't for racist pricks. Get your own forum, perhaps?
On android, ublock handily blocks ads too. Not sure about messy; codebase? Once installed you don't even see it, it just works in the background.

Illegal? Perhaps. Do you care? Is it immoral? That's all I care about.
Doesn't Linus like it though?
Ah, but with every single major distro adopting it, you better quit crying and get used to it, buddy!
That's a couple of clicks to disable.
It's a subscription, not a one off purchase though, right?
So, a hypothetical argument against a hypothetical substance. My simulations suggest it's too close to call.
What about B racists?
Did he make any music? Or was he just a journalist's best friend? Talking of which, what's Brian Eno got to do with Krautrock?
