"Ninety percent of those calls will have familiar caller IDs" (from CNN article, referenced in FCC report by third party study) That means it isn't just companies selling your number, Someone made a connection to your contact list, either on your phone or on a social network. Gee, who has become notorious for letting all this info slip through their fingers, possibly because the other hand was holding cash? FACEBOOK. APPLE. GOOGLE. How often were apps allowed to upload your contact list?
Who wants to correlate Spam calls to either Facebook or app whoring?
I'm not on facebook/social media, and don't download apps like they are, well, the next 'big' social media app.... I get about one spam a month.
In 1995 Carnegie Melon drove cross country no-hands in a automated Pontiac minivan. Not quite as automated, as it was one camera facing front, a gps (for speed only, no good enough maps available), and a 486 computer. They claim in the journal (ahh, the days before blogs) that the car drove 2800 of 2850 miles across country.
How is this different from Win10 Mobile, with Continuum? If they would update Edge on my phone, I would literally have this right now. Technically, some PWAs work; just not all the support is there in Edge Mobile. Otherwise, it only downloads apps fro the store; i.e. UWP.
Some poor sods are still putting out security updates for W10M, so there is obviously a W10M 'team' with a manager. Maybe they just changed their name to Lite, to throw everyone into a tizzy.
Intelligence Industrial Complex is more what I consider it. I would say that the intelligence community (CIA & FBI as American examples) are in a complicated relationship with industry.
Seriously?!? Your explanation for Chromebook being better is that tech support is "Did you try turning it off and back on again?"?!?!? Oh wait, your other response is to look for the MS 'works for sure' label - Er, I mean, 'certified for chromebooks'.
I was surprised the article didn't mention Nuscale. I guess it didn't fit the narrative that nuclear is dying. The large single or dual core reactor may be going, but much smaller modular reactors are coming in. This is in America, not China/Russia. They apparently already have a Utility customer in Utah, expecting to be operational in ~2025.
The irony is that windows mail on mobile (W10M) works fine. Emails always get sent quickly in the background, doesn't crash, new emails sync quickly, etc. I've used mail on W10 desktop and yes, it sucks in all the ways he mentions. If I'm waiting on an email I know was sent, I'll often switch to my phone to view it, because on the desktop it will sit there and 'sync' for five minutes.

It's Samoid vs Wintel. Possibly Samroid if making a Preparation H joke. Andrung just doesn't roll off the tongue.
I thought it was Apples thing to introduce a 5 year old feature and take credit for advancing technology? I dunno, my old Lumias had an FM chip with app. Plug in the headphones and everything worked well. It raises the question, why was the chip locked?
As for antennas, cars have moved to 'sharkfin' units mounted on the roof; those are pretty small and catch AM/FM. Seems an antenna can be in a physically small space and still be effective. Also, considering the multitude of wires a USB-C cable contains, could one/some of those be setup to act as an antenna? especially when just charging, not doing data transmission.
First - Why link to an Engadget article talking/linking to a Verge article that is clickbait/repeat from the original Verge article. wtf...
Second - At max loading in the described Destiny 2/max performance setting quandry, it was "at least" 10% an hour. One could literally play for more than 9 hours NON-STOP before draining the battery. This is a concern for... who exactly? Hard core gamers that wear a diaper and didn't buy a gaming rig?
If this was a State sponsored breach, then it is likely that the US told Equifax to withhold the news of the release until another major news event was happening, in order to reduce the effect. with a couple of hurricanes, there will (conveniently) need to be a lot of consumer purchasing to replace lost items, largely on credit. Crisis Averted!
Kinda snarky here, but no, not really, it isn't. Pulling my phone out to 'just throw it in a cubby hole' versus 'plugging it into a wire' and throwing it into a cubby hole... is a gimmick. To Paraphrase RogueWarrior, 'Until it can charge from across the car (in mah pocket), it's not important.
I'm in my 40's and my 'device that does it all' is my cell phone. I hardly get on my laptop anymore. This may actually bolster a case for external graphics cards through; With MS continuum and an external graphics card I could play a lot higher end games that I practically can on my phone.
"60+ posts all yelling snake oil, all from people clearly with little or no engine experience." "I can't say what a magnetic field may or may not do to it " Hey Pot, meet Kettle.
How does a magnetic field change a non-magnetic fluid? It doesn't matter if it's as thick as engine oil or not- it's non-magnetic. GM's magna-ride suspension adds in metal magnetic particulates so that an electro magnet can actually change the viscosity. Considering that the fuel injector uses a magnetic field that surrounds the fuel flow to pop open the injector, another static field isn't going to do anything. If it were magnetic, the magnetic field in the injector would cause the fuel to stop and be attracted to it; if it stops, it doesn't get to the engine. that's bad, mkay? Even if he's using an older mechanical fuel injection system on a diesel (without a magnet originally), the newer electronic ones (with magnets) would have shown this improvement.
Yup, the first thing performance tunes do to a WRX is lean out Wide Open Throttle Fueling, and increase boost. Arguably I was making the car *cleaner*, and it started life as a LEV vehicle.
10% is Huge?!? for a product that has been on the market for at least five years, and had a mandate that local television would switch to DTV (of which HDTV is a subset) in 2002, then 2006, and now 2009, 10% is mediocre.

Meanwhile in Finland, 52% personal tax rate, vs 37% in US. I'm guessing some subsidy is present in that 'triple' built network vs the consumer cost.

I was amused at the run on sentence starting the article. That, and the first two sentences are apparently each thier own paragraph. Journalism ftw?
An no, I don't want to see what 'micro' PC's might fit. Really.
