I haven't used headphones on any mobile devices for a few years. When I switched from Android to Windows Phone to Apple, I didn't even miss the headphone jack. On the rare occasion i have headphones on, I use bluetooth over the ear.
Every time i see Sprint listed as doing something I wonder if they actually will or might be too busy dealing with a merger (or not) with T-Mobile. I know TMO is trying top buy Sprint for the bandwidth but the FCC and Dems don't like the prospects.
On the rare occasion I roast something indoors, I have at least my kitchen window open and usually my sliding door. At least I learned a new term, "gas hob." In other words, a gas burner.
I like the hyperlinks to Usenet. Makes me feel old. I actually have a copy of NSCA Mosaic running on one of my Windows machines just for fun. Of course, almost no site works with it as they all use Javascript, which wasn't around when Mosiac was released.
In our environment, we have 16 developers. Our main application suite is written using over 1M lines of C# with services running on over 40 servers and collects well over $200M per year in point-of-sale transactions distributed among about 250 users.
When there is an issue, and my staff find a bug that slipped through testing, we need it fixed now. and there may be customers waiting. That's pressure. Also, when there's a testing deadline and regression testing discovered an issue
Instead of a "programming" question, I often want to determine how they think. I can hire a code monkey anyday. Those positions are generally my college students and recent graduates. After I hear how they solved a particular issue and whether the candidate can relate to biological life forms, I ask a logic question. First to see how they handle the pressure and second to see what they come up with. I rarely get a "correct" answer but the process the candidate goes through is always telling. Here's one - "You just bought a hammer and a nail. Together, the hammer and nail cost $1.10. The hammer is one dollar more than the nail. How much was the nail?"
Oh, they do! I found I've been getting hit with these stupid, "we collect cookies" messages in English here in the US and in Spanish when I visit Mexican sites.
I didn't realize they were part of the new law. It's like, "of course they collect cookies, that's why I set to delete when I close my browser."
I seem to recall hearing this story time and again. First there was the promise of Java. I've continued disliking it since I tried to load the JDK in the late '90s. Then.NET (a.k.a. Microsoft Java) was going to solve all of our cross-platform issues. Then Android -we can all code in Java but using the Android libraries. Finally, the Windows team bought de Icaza's Xamarin (formerly Mono) and have done...?
Honestly, I have cable, but only for the internet. There's really nothing on television anymore making me want to sit down for an hour or more to watch.
Though I understood satellite and satellite internet are currently the only way to communicate in very rural areas.
When I first became a Windows Insider, I very much appreciated the ability to test and report on issues with both Windows Mobile and Windows Desktop. Of course, these versions did NOT land on my 1600 or so machines at work. (I manage the service desk and handle a mix of Linux, Unix, MacOS, as well as Windows 7, 8.1, and 10. It is bad enough having to ensure all the AV is updated, but needing to deal with rolling updates based on the schedule of a company far away is not feasible.
My personal laptop is now dual-boot with Windows 10 and Linux Mint. Though I gave up on Linux in 2013, I've been rediscovering it as Windows has severely tested my patience
If I were a smart worker bee, I'd be investing in stocks like crazy. Of course, that may all come crashing down when the current real estate bubble pops.
I was a big adopter of the Continuum feature in Windows Mobile. A phone htat can be turned into a quasi PC. I used it at work, where I had a dock plugged into a 27" monitor. The phone correctly would connect to our LAN (but not domain), be able to use printers, network shares (sort of), and allow me to remote desktop into various other PCs. While nice, I felt it really wasn't what I needed. I often want my mobile device (phone) and PC / tablet seperate.
In fact, I recall Dona Sarkar at Microsoft discussing how MS wasn't going to go this route because they don't see the future being a 2-in-1 device like a phone and mini tablet. The phone will be slightly too big and the tablet slightly too small, she mused. I tend to agree. When I want a tablet, I want a 10" or 12" device and don't want it integrated with my mobile phone.
In most places it is public information, which through FIOA requests have been made available. My county, for example, sells it for $146. That's 4,000,000 records on the county voters.
You can also go to the HAVA site to get information from any state or the 3,000 or so counties: http://voterlist.electproject.org/
I would like to make my information private so I stop getting robocalls and massive amounts of flyers for various elections, but the only way to do that is not vote.
I have only been waiting five years for this to come to light. Of course, teh one app that will still work on windows 10 mobile is probably not useful.
I honestly don't see this happening. I remember the HP Elite X3. I thought it was a great idea to have a mobile phone that coudl double as a computer. However, in reality, I found it less than desirable. it didn't join my domain, had a hard time connecting to domain printers, and required special hardware to hook up.
I am fine with a mobile device in my pocket, which is currently an Iphone XsMax, and a PC at my desk. I have a laptop for when I need mobility, which is rare anymore.
So, if the states listed are blocking foreign IP addys from their online registration, that does not prevent them from voting.
First off, you don't vote in a state, rather a county. Second, there are zero counties in the US that allow internet voting at the moment. (Yes, military and overseas voters can use a fax and some use email, but it is still a scanned document, which is printed and then tabulated.)
If the military and overseas peeps want to re-register, there are are ways without going through the secretary of states' websites. They can mail in a registration card or call.
While now only functioning as an emergency phone, my Lumia 1520 was the exact right size and aspect ratio. I was hoping for something like that to come along. Instead, we get this awful candy bar shaped device that may not be bigger than my Iphone X.
If I went back to Android, I'd maybe have to check out the Honor Note 10.
You bring up a valid point. In my experience, transit is designed to run with 1800's factory hours - 8:00 am to 6:00 pm in a downtown metropolis. Outside of that, results are sketchy.

...we need to buy some beach property in British Colombia and setup a summer resort. Can't wait for the tourists to stop heading to Hawaii and Tahiti.

Please wake me when it is over.

We have two in daily operation.

I'll wait and see on this one.
That - and my soda - are where I got the idea. Of course, I was in seventh grade, so what did I know?
Back in 1982, I was in science class and came up with something like this using Freon and glass containers with a collector.
Who know it was actually viable. Of course, the Freon would have destroyed any ozone that's left.

Supposedly there are coupons on the receipt.
I never look at it and toss it.
Fortunately, I use the phone number 867-5309, which always works.
I mean, small particles coming out of the Antartic ice. Maybe they're alien and will slowly take on human shapes to terrorize any researchers there.

True! I have family in Manchester, Leeds, and Burnley. Getting around in London, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham is super easy.

Ouch! See, the issue is how the developers organically designed cities. Not faulting anyone, it just wasn't planned for 7 billion people.
