Having driven a few cards with backup cameras, I find them useful primarily for checking the area immediately behind the car before reversing otherwise normally. Secondarily, they're handy for when you must back up against a wall or car, and you want to get very close. They often display a warning along the lines of "check your surroundings before moving the car!". I suspect many people have stared into the screen while dragging their bumper across the car next to them.
To extend the analogy to MCAS, it was like making aspects of the traction control system dependent on the tire pressure sensor(s), but only considering the input from one of the tires for certain operations. Suppose the wrong sensor went bad (e.g. suddenly reports an outlandish, but still possible, value, and adjusts a braking routine accordingly), TCS malfunctions, for no apparent reason, and locks up one or more tires while you're in the middle of a turn. Even if one was able to see the reported tire pressures, and even if the TCS threw a fault light, would the driver still have reason to react (given an imaginary circumstance where they would even have time to do so) to them in any specific way?
Also, a real-world example of bad control routines affecting car handling would be Tesla's rapid-braking issues (presumed fixed with an update), where the first stop would be fine, but stopping distance increased on subsequent stops.
Also, I shouldn't have made "non-user-servicable" the subject line, as it is clear now that some are user replaceable (though still concealed internally, e.g. zbook 17 g4).
This appears to working in Windows 7 as well. I never knew of this, and it explains some phantom program launches I've experienced in the past... Also, WinKey + Control + Left/Right appears to be the desktop switch hotkey (though I don't have a win10 machine to confirm).
I would have been more surprised if it did not. Win10 seems to be one of the most heavily instrumented pieces of software ever produced. I wonder if they'll be getting some interesting telemetry in the near future.
There are also non-standard components using the same form factor, e.g. 10-pin USB Mini-B, and some non-USB devices that use the same connectors. Two examples I can give are on two different dashcams; the first has a GPS module that uses a USB Type A connector, but does not appear to be an actual USB device. The second is a dual dashcam, with the rear camera being connected via a cable with 10-pin Mini-B plugs, also using some other protocol. I have not seen any actual implementations of USB 3.0 with a Mini-B connector, so I'm somewhat curious as to why these even exist. I've also seen USB cables/connectors used on PCI extenders.
None that I use, mostly because I just don't have any need... same goes for Google and Microsoft logins, outside of sites and services owned and operated by the specific company. I'm not a fan of single sign-on, and Facebook is an exceptionally large turn-off. If I was forced to use a service requiring any of these, I'd create specific throwaway accounts for each.

One can always buy 130V rated bulbs, if the lower color temperature and efficiency is acceptable.
MCAS is mentioned in the glossary (giving only its non-abbreviated name) of an older MAX FCOM I have, not that it helps matters.
cars, even. Never driven a card.

Quick search of the models described. I could be wrong.
From what I can tell, all affected models have internal batteries. Hope affected users have a spare computer they can use in the mean time, I guess.
... or Blinders.

My favorite feature from Windows 10 is the ability to move windows to quadrants of the screen with these combinations, instead of just 50/50 splits.
Very handy on an overloaded machine... saves a lot of time vs. trying to spawn the security screen.
Given that the first presumed cure was around 12 years, and the second was a few days ago, the world should be HIV-free by the time I get off work.
The link is the very last word of the article, "here". https://github.com/Microsoft/c...

Even The Verge had a more prominent link, at the beginning of its second paragraph. Not simply the word "here".

Seems we came close to it, or at least demonstrated willingness to do so, back in the late 50s. Visit by then-VP Nixon did not go very well.
Why don't you just make 10 costlier, and make 10 be the top number, and make that be a little costlier?
Same class of folk who believe that the harm that can arise from not wearing their seat belt is limited to themselves.
Why not do a little more testing? A true test of durability would be to see how well they work after re-entry.

Come now, it's just a missing apostrophe. Microsoft is clearly stating that Discover's hacking is targeting democratic institutions in Europe.
But.. but... we moved the widgets to wherever! and the whatsits to the other side! If that's not a feature, then my name isn't bob!
