I think I saw this trick done in the Knight Rider TV series from the 1980s
I specifically remember one scene in an early episode where KITT drove itself and came to a park. You can barely make out the hands on the steering wheel before they quickly pulled themselves away - but it wasn't edited out;)
"Windows 10 Will Soon Give Users More Control Over App Permissions "
The problem is that Windows 10 should have given users ALL control over app permissions IN THE FIRST PLACE. (Just put those permissions somewhere the unskilled users can't mess with them easily though)
What Microsoft needs to work on are bugs in Windows 10 like the one where you attempt rename your computer with a string of numbers from the new PC Settings:
"Rename your PC. You can enter a combination of letters, hyphens and numbers" Ok, how about 011555472053? "That PC name won't work. Pick one that doesn't start with a number and try again" *head asplode*
Yes, some companies still exist that use HP-UX on Superdomes. Why? Because the owners of these companies that run HP-UX strongly believe that free software is junk.
Not such a crazy idea for Oracle to take over RedHat. Oracle still have a presence in defence. RedHat gets most of it's funding from defence - from what I understand.
Oracle has tried to steal RedHat's support lunch money for a long time, primarily by ripping off RedHat Enterprise Linux and only releasing supporting software for their database apps by ensuring that the packages only exist in the world of Oracle Linux and it's custom "unbreakable" kernel.
It would be nice if Oracle then decided to open source Solaris since they're not going to develop it any more.... but knowing Oracle, it won't happen. I'm guessing they'll let the Solaris code and Solaris ZFS (for example) simply die on the vine.
I ran folding@home on a Ryzen 1800X and Nvidia 1080 setup, and it managed to cause a multitude of blue screens from which I could not determine the problem.
A few graphics card driver updates later and the system seems rock solid.
The strength of Bitcoin comes from the health of the computers maintaining the Bitcoin network, and those computers are only on the network is because they're getting paid in bitcoin to maintain it.
Once it becomes hard to impossible to mine bitcoin, to the point where it is not financially feasible to do so, Bitcoin's network will weaken and fold as miners move onto the next crypto-currency with a better ROI.
This will have the net effect of weakening the number of systems maintaining bitcoin - and potentially weakening the strength of the bitcoin network. This *might* possibly cause bitcoin's price to suddenly drop as people pull out.
It's either that or bitcoin has to continue to inflate for eternity I guess.
I remember the early 80s learning BASIC from those Usborne game books. Really simple text console games that introduced concepts like variables, loops, and conditionals within programs that mostly fit into 1K or less than 8K at least.
Of course, you could simply translate those programs into something like Python these days and have some fun while learning to program. Probably the hardest thing to do when starting out on Python is to teach them input sanitising. Everything else is fairly standard.
Virtue signalling is when you are JK Rowling or George Clooney, and say that people and governments need to do more to help refugees. This becomes virtue signalling when you do absolutely nothing to help any single refugee personally - especially when you have multiple residences and ample resources that could easily house a good number of refugees - but you choose not to.

The current PM is already well-disliked by everyone in the IT industry by singlehandedly botching the NBN fibre-to-the-premises rollout project.
All Apple would have to do would say that they'd pull out of Australia if these anti-encryption laws went through. In fact, the laws would probably cause this through implication. The PM's popularity would plummet. He wouldn't be so stupid as to risk it.
Here we go again.... it's the commodity market driving news circus! Evidenced by this latest round of "Commodity-X is good/bad for you and here-comes-the-science" news.
Just like comments from Mario Draghi on the Euro, or the US non-farm payroll make the currency markets fly off the handle... news like this can only serve as a driver to the plebs to hold a particular position in the commodity markets.
Seems like the coffee price has been steadily dropping recently.... market needs more sucke... *ahem* buyers!
It's really only the big end of town that worries about population decline.
Japan is horribly expensive to live in, and the Japanese would rather have a smaller population that let hordes of foreigners in. The youth growing up can't afford to own their own home of any decent size, and so they've given up on home ownership and spend all their money on frivolous things. Having a family is not on anyone's bucket list, and abortion is rife.
Japan was ahead of the curve until the west finally caught up.

Need to bring that acronym back out again.

Kinda True.

It's all about perspective

Apple's business plan summed up in one line
We have trouble streaming stuff. The internet is so crap for many people here, we kind of have to download entire files and watch them later anyway.
Plus nobody gives a stuff about Australia as it's such a small market on the fringes of known civilization.
or cryptocurrency
Nope.
It's intel or bust.
Fact checkers are going to have a ball when dealing with religious posts.

Mars.
History will repeat itself.
The only way that I could see this working is if it was as easily programmable as Gary Kitchen's Gamemaker.
Give us the classic, yet simplistic games --- and then let us hack them and upload our own creations.
...Came with Windows XP, but now runs 16.04 lubuntu.
It's still running fine with a 2GB upgrade, and will probably do so until the Y2038 bug

Most companies like GoG use DosBox for the purpose of distributing DOS based games with however.
When a Windows Server Datacentre licence costs as much as it does, is it any wonder why governments are slow to upgrade?
Upgrading is a lot of work, regardless of OS however. Things can and do break between versions.
