Optimist: Ideally, USB Guard in Chrome OS could be configured such that if a USB device is seeing substantial block traffic in the seconds prior to unmounting, it'll stay mounted until the traffic dies down.
Pessimist: Google wants Chrome OS users to subscribe to both Google One and a wired home Internet provider as a substitute for backups to USB mass storage.
And the bigots gonna big, big, big, big, big Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Shake it off, shake it off
So here's my brief summary for this story:
1. Grab hires GlobalLogic to improve OpenStreetMap's data set in several countries 2. GlobalLogic relies on outdated satellite imagery and ends up royally messing up OSM's map of Thailand 3. OSM regulars discover the damage 4. Grab tells GlobalLogic to take a break from mapping Thailand while starting conversation with OSM regulars in Thailand to figure out the right way to proceed
All OSs should do that. It shouldn't have ever been a thought.
I don't see it applying quite as easily to a desktop computer. If USB is disabled until you authenticate, through what interface would you authenticate?
First, the featured article is phrased in such a way as to imply that the USB Guard feature isn't even turned on by default. Second, how would USB Guard block backing up your files to a public or private cloud, unless perhaps you're using a USB network interface?
You just made me curious about whether formal verification has ever been applied to file system drivers distributed to the public as free software. Because if so, then one could prove beyond reasonable doubt that a file system driver has no vulnerabilities.
A keyboard-shaped peripheral may contain a composite device that supports both HID class (for keyboard use) and mass storage class (for reading and writing, say, microSD cards).
DNS is centralized: someone controls the root server for. and for each major TLD.
How did one find the email address of someone interesting to talk to, or an interesting newsgroup? How did one even find a Usenet server to which to connect?
vmware player, which is still lowercase-free (despite frequent reports to the contrary.)
Not for use in a business or nonprofit organization, according to the answer to the question "Can I still use VMware Workstation Player for free?" on VMware Workstation Player's landing page. The price for one commercial seat (as might be used by a self-employed person) is $150, which is greater than zero but less than the $5000 price of the minimum 100 seats of VirtualBox.
What virtual machine would you recommend instead of VirtualBox? Like MySQL, VirtualBox has a GPL version with reduced functionality. One practical complaint I have is that commercial use licenses for the full version (Extension Pack) are sold only in 100-packs. Is it intended that someone who needs one license buy 100 licenses and resell the other 99?
Just run software from 10 years ago. Problem solved.
Internet-facing software from 10 years ago is vulnerable to exploits from 10 years ago. How would you recommend to work around these vulnerabilities or to make air-gapping the whole computer practical?
ARM 32-bit won't help you if your use case involves programs that depend on Wine because Win32 and MFC are hard to port to anything other than i686. In my own case, such programs have included these:
Even 8 year old hardware is mostly 64bit aside from some netbooks.
And even many netbooks from 2010 or so, using Atom N450 CPU, can run x86-64 software. But the fact that they max out at 2 GB of RAM can pose a problem especially if you need libc6-i386 installed for Wine or for one or more legacy applications. One thing keeping netbook users from throwing out their old netbooks and replacing them with new laptops is that new 10.1" laptops have since become hard to find.
The oh so difficult features you described could easily be solved by a bot and fairly straightforward scripting on the servers that I've been on in the far past. In fact all of them had in some of the more sophisticated ones that I frequented.
Say I want to put up an IRC server on a VPS, and I want to add these features (logs, attachment hosting, link summaries, and groups). Which distribution of IRC server software has them? And which IRC client integrates them? Or would this be something I need to write myself? Discord and Slack are cheaper than hiring someone to integrate all this into IRC for you.
honestly I have Facebook to thank (sometimes blame) for strengthening connections to those from my past. [...] it actually was Facebook where [my wife and I] "met again as adults" and our relationship started
Could my lack of a Facebook account be a big part of what I'm doing wrong? Most of my social media silo activity is on Twitter and Discord, and not with people I knew in person. If these silos didn't exist, such as in the personal website landscape that the author of the featured article and the maintainers of IndieWeb.org envision, it's be even more difficult for someone to announce his existence.
What is the closest counterpart to church
One does not have to be part of a religion to find a group. I mentioned I was active in the Libertarian party
Thanks; that's the sort of example I was looking for. Religion, local politics, any others?
If it's because you don't chit-chat (something I have an issue with) learn to give pre-programmed responses.
I assume that installing Squeak software and playing with it won't help me learn that kind of small talk. I have had trouble figuring out what people mean by even something as simple as "How are you doing?", and I haven't seen any rules as to what level of detail people expect in an answer to an open-ended question such as "What are you working on right now?".
Hit the dating sites.
I admit that's something I hadn't even thought of trying. How was it done before dating sites were popular?

Even if messaging is decentralized, how can finding someone to message in the first place be decentralized?
Tox is decentralised, utilises DHT.
Let me rephrase: Once a user has installed Tox, how would he go about finding other Tox users to message?

How do you build a society around the idea that our cars are idle if they're all idle at (roughly) the same time?
Autonomous carpooling. Take it one step further and you end up with autonomous fixed route bus service.
All OSs should do that. It shouldn't have ever been a thought.

PS/2 keyboards do not work on google devices.
Heck, a PS/2 keyboard doesn't even work on a PlayStation 2 despite the name.
You just made me curious about whether formal verification has ever been applied to file system drivers distributed to the public as free software. Because if so, then one could prove beyond reasonable doubt that a file system driver has no vulnerabilities.
So there might be a problem when you want to troubleshoot a machine which is supposed to run unattended
A Chromebook is not "supposed to run unattended". From the horse's mouth: "Remember: Chrome OS devices are not general-purpose PCs."
A keyboard-shaped peripheral may contain a composite device that supports both HID class (for keyboard use) and mass storage class (for reading and writing, say, microSD cards).
17 * 3 is not prime in the mathematical sense or in the free 2 business day shipping sense either.

If you're too small to sell to, then you're too small to sue.
The major record labels disagree. Sony v. Tenenbaum; Capitol v. Thomas.
there is no reason two-way services like messaging shouldn't be decentralized.
Even if messaging is decentralized, how can finding someone to message in the first place be decentralized?
Embedded developers were furious with the anti-TiVo provisions themselves.

The copyright itself would belong to the media company at this point.
I imagine it would be straightforward to amend the suit to add Quincy Jones Productions and AT&Warner Bros. as plaintiffs.
U.S. copyright in a work first published in the 1930s and renewed in the 28th year after publication will expire sometime between 2026 and 2035.
It's your problem when your tax money has to clean up the e-waste that users discard as they purchase newer hardware.
