I'm not sure where I heard this (and perhaps I'm wrong) but I thought Apple was all-in on USB-C and their next phones would have that connector instead of whatever flavor they have now. If this is true, then almost all new phones will be using USB-C.
Now... they should have taken advantage of the wording in the story. Instead of "mind-boggling speeds" it should have been "astronomical speeds". Or, "faster than your standard astronomical speeds". Or something.
I have no doubt that when this device is used, the license will be something along the lines of $100 per stitch. This will get billed to insurance, which will then either be declined or reduced, then the recipient is on the hook for the rest. I love the health care system in the good-ole USA.
Some years ago, a co-worker of mine showed me his Samsung phone. It was a beauty, and he let me play with it for a bit. The hardware was wonderful. The proprietary Samsung crap-ware that was on it was what made me decide that I would never get a Samsung phone. It's just like the branded crap-ware on Windows machines. I have a Nexus 6P and I think it's wonderful. It's Android the way it was intended. Yes, I know Google spies on me.
I have a google pixel phone with a USB-C charging port. I don't have a problem with how it works. When I plug it into my fast charger, it charges fast, like it's supposed to. When I plug it into a standard USB charger (like, for the old iPhones), it charges at a reduced rate, like it's supposed to. And when I plug it into my laptop, it charges at a further reduced rate (it can take upwards of 6 hours to charge from 10%, but it works), just like it's supposed to.
Spring Boot and Grails are definitive proof that 90% of the complaints about learning curve were always a problem of developer culture and not the platform. It is probably easier to do a Spring Boot quickstart now than a Rails or Django one because the basic setup that just works is two files (pom.xml and a Java or Groovy source file).
But to do anything meaningful or moderately complex requires underlying knowledge of how Spring Boot works. While there is a lot of documentation on Spring Boot, I find it's exceedingly difficult to find a straight answer on "How do I do X". Usually there are at least 3 to 9 different answers with many (most?) outdated answers floating around.
I generally consider myself to be a competent programmer in many languages, but when it comes to Spring Boot I feel like I've been dropped in the ocean without a life raft.
I did some custom programming for the accounting department of the company I worked for some years ago. All I can say is this: Accounting just makes shit up. They'll tell you it's "just numbers" but they move things around to make things look appealing. No logic. All magic.
So many things wrong here that would have been avoided had there been sensible regulations written by sensible engineers.
Hmm...you seem to think that regulations (Rules of the Road, that sort of thing) are written by engineers. Alas, the truth is that they're mostly written by politicians....
No, I'm fully aware of who writes them... that's why I specified "by sensible engineers" in my statement.
It's time for regulatory control - like how the FAA regulates the skies, the autonomous car industry needs to have sensible regulations. Right now it just seems like a bunch of cowboys in the wild west are trying to one-up each other.
Get this: The car "saw" the person 6 seconds before striking the person. The emergency system was disabled. The emergency system was not set up to alert the driver. So many things wrong here that would have been avoided had there been sensible regulations written by sensible engineers.
Or, if you ever read even a summary of Trump's book The Art of the Deal, you'd know this is negotiations 101 - you have to be willing to walk away if the deal isn't right, in order to get the best outcome.
You do realize that Trump did not write "The Art of the Deal". He put his name on it, but it was written by Tony Schwartz. https://www.newyorker.com/maga...
I use gmail, and my own domain on a gmail account. It works for me. It's responsive, the UI doesn't really suck, the search capabilities are great to find an old, obscure email sent years ago. When I change computers, I don't have to worry about where all my email is locally. It's just all there.
I haven't used Thunderbird in at least 5 years, maybe more.
This isn't a big deal. I have this mouse for my work computer. It lasts for months without a charge, and every so often I remember it will need charged in a month and I plug it in when I leave work. Really, it's not an issue.
Sometimes the headline makes me have to do a triple reading. I read that and thought to myself, "How much are we charging for these cyber attacks?" As in a monetary value. Then I figured out "charged with crimes". The English language sucks....
It seems unlikely that any corporation would take on something like that - even SpaceX. It's a good platform for experiments and such, but it's not a money-maker. In fact, it's quite the opposite, and privatization of the ISS will not happen for that very reason.
You are pointing out something that film photographers have dealt with for decades: Did I have my settings right? Was I underexposed/overexposed? etc. When I look at my pictures, I *mostly* look to see that it's an acceptable exposure - my histogram is beside the picture. If that looks reasonable, I move on. The encrypt-immediate process could leave the histogram un-encrypted. You can't surmise what the picture is about based on that, but at least you know you have a decent exposure.
It should be: A person driving a Tesla plows into a fire truck. The person, not the car. The car was not at fault, it just happened to sustain the damage.
For God's sake, it wasn't fake, it was false. Big difference. If it was fake, then it wasn't from legitimate sources. But it was from legitimate sources, so it was "fact". It was a false alarm, but it wasn't fake.

This is rhetoric for one thing and one thing only: Lucrative Government Contracts.

15 drops on what? A pillow? I kid of course, but the headline/summary mean nothing. My phone has gorilla glass and it's great.

I'm ok to wait. I don't use Windows!

It was shot conventionally using rigs for stabilization. If there is "found-footage" in it, it doesn't appear in the trailer.
I see this as an excuse for Comcast and their ilk to block Magnet and BitTorrent traffic. Watch that be one of the first things to quit working.

The Ford Fiesta wasn't sold in the USA until 2010 or so...
Not really sure what that has to do with this thread, but I remember the Ford Fiesta my father bought in the 1980's here in the states.

Robin Williams had a great blurb about Propofol. I've had it a few times myself. It's true.
