And when you fire that gun into the air you totally know the bullet just exits the atmosphere, travels to the sun and is disintegrated in hot plasma, right? It totally doesn't fall back down to Earth and hits something.
Eh, I feel like it'd be a waste of time to answer that, you don't actually care!!!!!!!!!!!!... Geez, Slashdot's junk filter is preventing me from showing the enormousness of my enthusiasm.
You realize the Facebook app on an average phone has already been granted access to the phone's mic and could have it running constantly, listening for such an activation sound, right? So when it gets its wakeup call in bat-level frequency it starts recording and transmitting to the mothership.
Which means the browser makers need to constantly check for new permutations, otherwise they'll be throwing up so many SCAM warnings whenever you access a localized URL that people stop caring about the warnings, much how it happened with UAC.
How is the browser supposed to know that when you go to bank.corn you actually do mean BANK.CORN and not BANK.COM?
Except for the problem that NEWER Intel CPUs are ALSO pulled out of support. My i7-7700 makes Windows Update tell me to upgrade to Win10 or GTFO. If it wasn't for WSUS Offline I'd be unable to keep my system updated.
Unfortunately I don't work in the banking and investment industry, so no, I honestly haven't heard about them. What does a bank have to do with TV watching habits? It seems somewhat non-intuitive to look for bank names in the context of this article.
Can anyone explain why I or anyone else should care about personal computers? How does this story affect anyone at all? I'll be censored to -1 without a doubt, but someone needs to ask the tough questions and inquire as to why this matters. Why would anyone need a personal computer? This effort would be far better invested into improving already proven technologies like the abacus. I'll be censored to -1, and that will stand as evidence that people would prefer to bury my question instead of answer it. It will show that I am right and that this story doesn't matter in the least.
In several European countries you need to have your car checked and approved for continued use on the roads every couple of years. Sooner or later you ARE going to be told that your car is too old, that fixing it isn't worth the trouble if even possible, and no - you don't get to drive it anymore.
But where are we supposed to host things anymore? Between Net Neutrality going away in the US, the EU and UK wanting to clamp down hard on controlling what can and can't exist on the internet, which well-connected territory should we look towards for hosting today?
You mean like saying your credit card number out loud while entering it in an online form under the assumption that you're ALONE in your living room and your phone IS NOT currently recording everything you're saying because you installed an app to keep track of football matches? Can you tell me which law makes that illegal?
True. I should have considered that since I actually know a couple with the same first and last name (although different spellings of the last name). How they ever got together...
I am fascinated by how the entire world apparently has a connection as awesome as yours. Did you stop to consider what happens to anyone NOT on a super-duper fiber connection?
Considering I'm still waiting on the ISP to get off their asses and put fiber in the ground here so I can get more than 448/96 kbps ADSL, those 18 dollars a month to make Microsoft make the ISP guarantee I get the right speed sound very, very intriguing...

Your sig was amusingly relevant.
Off the top of my head, microphones, radios and cameras did.

If they didn't when SWATtting became a thing they won't now.
slashdot.org and sIashdot.org can be hard to tell apart.
I actually had to copy that into Notepad to see what you did. Well played.

More like Cash Royale.

So nothing ever gets bricked, as the structural integrity of phones and computers make them ill suited for building houses?
As the title says, you'd think the editors could keep track of the difference between UBS and USB.
Oh, who am I kidding.
Besides, as a non-American, is the UBS acronym something people should just know what stands for? Useless Bitchy Surveys?
One guy works for Google.
One guy works for Youtube.
They both ultimately get paid by Alphabet, but that doesn't mean the Youtube guy works for Google or vice versa.
Whatever it is, can I have some, please?

Fixed that for you, it's a common typo.

That's so adorable, you got your hands on a rare copy of Baby's First Sound Bite.
And more importantly, why is a random pick more fair than that?
