I'm actually going to partially rescind the last part, given the lack of meaningful conversation that seems to take place in the most public areas of twitter. It seems like it follows a cycle of: famousguy/troll/something else posts something inflammatory, people rage/retort/retaliate, repeat.
As more people become aware of the ever-degrading state of Twitter, and more people think there's something to gain from deploying bots on it, the bot:human ratio will eventually reach the point where they're just not making any money. Bots don't view ads, and they certainly don't contribute meaningfully to conversations.
The core of the operating system seems to be pretty decent (Server 2016 has server the company I work for well enough, so far), but the UI and constant changing of included functionality is a major hangup for me. Never had problems with the Start screen (or classic shell) or task bar on Windows 8(.1), but the Windows 10 start menu and taskbar is a horribly buggy mess. The old days where they just passed messages from the taskbar entries to the programs' windows were better (opinion) if only because it didn't take several seconds for their stupid menus to display.
This suggestion provides you 5+ years to prepare and execute and exit strategy from the Windows ecosystem. It is not suitable for most corporate situations, unfortunately, as doing this at any significant volume could be difficult. If you must use Windows, consider:
Build using previous-generation platforms (Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge, I believe Haswell/Broadwell are also unaffected by Microsoft's update lockouts for newer chips... though I might be mistaken, and that seems to be possible to bypass anyhow)
Buy new-old-stock Windows 8/8.1 licenses
Alternatively, buy off-lease or otherwise used business machines from your favorite auction site; this can save you substantial amounts of money.
Install Classic Shell or whatever to help cope with Metro if you can't stand it.
Enjoy security patches until January 2023 while Microsoft either gets its shit together, or other solutions become more viable.
Wait, what? My family was a Comcast customer for ~10 years, and that was never a thing. The thing to understand is that their 'business class' provides basically:
Higher prices
No data caps where they exist -
Significantly better availability for service technicians
Aside from that, it's effectively the same. Some of the only things that seemed to be blocked on the home tier were inbound port 25 and a few MS RPC/SMB ports.
I have oddly little problem with this. At least with Gates, the foundation seems to be relatively open about their intentions and accomplishments. What has this AC done for the betterment of mankind lately?
For a lot of folks, Snowden's revelations were merely a confirmation. The things outlined had been technologically feasible for a very long time, and practically all aspects existed in some form in corporate software already. One should assume that they are being watched watched by someone (or at least that the possibility exists), unless you've just completed the process of sealing yourself into a thick lead box.
Yes, you just need to be able to read above, below, beside, between, several miles away from, etc. the lines in order to catch it. So I guess the answer is really no.
In all likelihood what I'm dealing with. I ran into precisely zero hangups in the process; just had to install the driver for it (windows 8). Perhaps Samsung made it too simple, and I never actually had to fight for it, leaving me with the perception that it's easier than it would normally be.
That's the point, I suppose, the x16 PCIe connections come no where near being maxed out... I've seen plenty of numbers suggesting the 3.0 x8 is more than adequate for most people's use. The bigger concern is with everything connected to the PCH. If you have two gigabit network interfaces, an NVMe boot drive, and a few SATA disks and a few SATA disks, one can at least come close to maxing out the ~4GB/s available bandwidth on the DMI connection. So you're absolutely correct, the vast majority of folks do not need to care. I think a lot of the gripe (mine, at least... I need at least one actual x4 slot) on that stems from the platform having offered no improvement in capacity since it was first released.
It should also be noted that no, I am not taken in by whoever is spamming under your name; I am referring to entirely different issues. e.g. this article is regarding why biometric IDs are/aren't a good idea... what have you to say on that matter?
One huge factor you are missing is that when you're offtopic, you get modded offtopic. So no, moderators aren't censoring calls to ban bumpstocks, they're downmodding offtopic copy-pastas.

Probably depends on if you were wearing them while training it.
Better late than never. I can't help but feel that, somehow, some sort of future disaster was just narrowly averted.

I wonder how they managed to download 235GB of data while it was still remotely relevant.
Goes back to work imagining a datacenter full of hungry people trying to eat the dial-up modems...
Guess what service I'm glad I nev... well, shit. A time to be glad I'm not the actual account owner (family plan).
Personally, I define "secret" as anything I'm not intending to broadcast to the general public.

Why /s ? Comcast tells us to bend over and take it, so we gladly oblige. It's the American thing to do.
Perhaps drop a story on the firehose? I do actually see a lot of stories coming in that way these days.

Comcass would probably take the least effort.

True, true. Sadly, I have not read much of the classics in the last 10-15 years :( I should probably set about fixing that :)
Sometimes you have to take responsibility for your actions, regardless of the original intent, even if your efforts are futile.
Output filtering is probably a relevant concern; a lot of cheap hardware really skimps there.
