Well, my experience with 2FA and my gmail and google apps accounts is that I get the infinite loop hell. I just setup my google mail accounts in my (shudders) outlook app (that I don't use for anything else). Really bad move by Apple for not fixing this between beta and release.
Same here with Statins. Been on them nearly 15 years at this point. Diet, exercise, keeping my BMI smack dab in the middle, exercising rigorously 6 days a week, and my cholesterol was off the chart. Great genes from my father's side, but Statins have kept it under control. No side effects either.
My anecdote is different. My work laptop is Win10, and it gets rebooted about every 8 weeks when corp IT pushes a parcel of updates (but I will admit that many of these upgrades require 2-3 reboots).
I am wasting my moderation to comment that the linked page is epic. Having managed a product that had plugin integration with email systems, and a LoNo integration as well as exchange, I can hands down say that Lotus Notes is a homeless abortion to code against, and the weirdest fucking problems were intractable. I was never so glad as when I left that job and never had to deal with that festering shitbox.
Yep. Signing letters is pointless. Put their livelihoods on the line, and quit.
I am betting that this will not lead to any people actually "leaving" so while it might feel good to sign on the line that is dotted, they are really accomplishing nothing.
Agreed. Alas, I stare at my Netflix directory and it is screen after screen of utter garbage. Poorly written, shoddy cinematography, and just awful stories. My wife always wonders if they have any humans reviewing the concepts before green-lighting them. Sure, once in a great while something good sneaks through (like Narcos), but 9 time out of 10 (or 98 times out of 100 lately) it is utter crap.
When people learn that I have a degree in Physics, they almost instantly assume that I am a fan of The Big Bang Theory". Alas, it is painful to watch, it never was very written, and the obviously fake laugh track makes me cringe.
Yes, I tried to get into it, but even early on, it was, well, awful. As in unwatchable for me. I am surprised (or perhaps I should be surprised) that it lasted as long as it has.
I would probably be at about 10 hours a day. Hell, last week, on Thursday I logged off my corp email at 7:30 PM, and when I logged in at 7:30 on Friday I had a hair over 300 new emails in my inbox (of course, something blew up overnight, that was about 2X normal).
If I fully read each email, and responded to the ones I had a dog in the hunt on, I would easily go above 40 hours a week. Fortunately, I can ignore whole swaths, and trust my lieutenants to do the triage for me.
I am a subscriber to Amazon music. It was great, probably the best streaming performance with sketchy wifi/cell coverage when I compared to Google/Apple/Spotify (ironically: In my testing about 15 months ago, Google Play was hands down the worst streaming performance.) But the latest updates to the app seem to have this fucked up Alexa bullshit built in, and no apparent way to disable it. It takes my Lenovo t450 and pegs the fucking CPU's all the time as it waits for me to give it a voice command. Fuck that. Will not be renewing.
srsly, the voice control bullshit is just that, bullshit
I was an early user, and liked it. I paid for it, and was happy. Then they went to a subscription model with a ridiculous price. I canceled, didn't even use the 3 months free, deleted all my data (sure, at least I used their tools to delete it) and wrote a scathing review.
This is a predictable end of the road for them. Great idea, decent implementation, but fucking horrible economics.

Seriously, of course the knew about it. Hell they probably gave them implicit permission to do it. Are there no adults in the room at Facebook?
... hmmm, nope, not April 1st.
Nope that is the stupidest thing I have read this week. Sure, I believe that, here's a bridge I can let you have for 59 easy payments...
Great comment. "Shit is easier to build on" and quite true too.
Add to that the insane traffic that the sprawling "growth" spurs, and you can keep Dallas, and the like.
And poops neapolitan ice cream scoops too

Shit, some comedic GOLD, and here I am without mod points.

Well, seeing how reliable their service is (not very), this wouldn't surprise me.

Move along, nothing to see here

I am keeping the 16C to retire on. Seriously used ones go for huge dollars on ebay. Stupid expensive.
Shit, and my mod points expired this morning...
I have a 16C that I keep at work. My peers look at me funny when I pull it out, but it is so damn comforting. Damn, I am old as dirt.
I have the HP-41CV I got when I started university in 1983. It has been rebuilt a couple of times, but I still reach for it a couple of times a week.

So, does this fix the "soak up every goddamn CPU cycle and peg all 4 cores" problem?
