Over the last 12 years that I have worked as a Systems Administrator, I cannot remember a single Apple computer failing at any of the places I worked. That said, Apple computers were in the extreme minority of systems in use. Typically less than 6 systems total in the Marketing department and that was it (out of 4 companies.) Whenever a system was retired we just tossed it on the recycle pallet, nothing to salvage. I did repeatedly ask for a Mac Mini to do some testing and documentation, to make life easier for those few employees that had them, but management refused to spend the $500 or to let me hang onto a retired system to test with. They were generally despised by IT management who barely tolerated the Marketing people having them.
Oh, and there were of course no systems running Linux other than servers.
If Bush Jr. can get re-elected, so can Trump. It's all a matter of jobs, if Trump creates jobs he will get re-elected, if he doesn't then he'll get the heave-ho just like the Democrats got. Obama's, and therefore the Decomcrat's, largest failure has been the lack of jobs. Bill Clinton is beloved, not because is smoked week and played sax, but because he created jobs and brought this country out of a funk caused by Bush Sr.
No one likes the House of Commons, they continually fail to represent their constituency and instead go off on their own power trips to bolster their own power. The Electoral College system assures that the votes for a state represent the majority winning party in the state, i.e. the majority wins. The whole notion of a nation-wide "popular vote" is meaningless due to California and New York having disproportionately large populations. 2 states alone should not decide who gets elected president.
California is an English-first state. In 1986, Proposition 63, "English Is the Official Language of California Amendment" was passed declaring English the official language of California. This was followed in 1998 with Proposition 227, ""English in Public Schools" which required LEP (Limited English Proficiency) classes to be taught in English. It is important to note that over 100 languages are spoken in both Silicon Valley and the San Francisco metropolitan areas.
I never bought a 3D printer myself, they are too expensive and I could not think of enough uses for one. Instead, twice I have used Thingverse to find something that fit my needs and ordered the item to be printed and mailed to me. There is a cottage industry of people with 3D printers that print the item and mail it to the end-customer. Both items combined cost less than $50 and that's with shipping. Delivery took an average of 4 days from the date of order.
It happened instantly to Lon Seidman (Lon.tv) when he plugged an Xbox One controller into his 2016 MacBook Pro running in bootcamp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
As soon as the controller was plugged in he heard a loud crackle/pop, magic smoke and what he believes were sparks. The only upside was the laptop didn't die, only the speakers.
It was most likely a 0, I would expect they either used a Ctrl-D "End of Transmit" / "End of Tape" (00000100), or they used Ctrl-Z which used to be for "End of File" (00011010)
When you buy from third-party sellers on Amazon.com, the condition of the item and its timely delivery are guaranteed under the A-to-z Guarantee.
You can file a claim when all of the following applies: You have contacted the third-party seller through Your Account. You have waited two business days for a response. Your request meets one of our A-to-z Guarantee conditions below. The third-party seller failed to deliver the item by 3 days past the maximum estimated delivery date or 30 days from the order date, whichever is sooner. The item you received was damaged, defective, or materially different from the item represented on the product detail page. The third-party seller agreed that they'd refund you, and they either haven't refunded you at all or the refund is in the wrong amount."
"Note: If the seller's listing is eligible for Amazon Prime, Amazon Customer Service will handle any issues related to the order."
That is part of the reason the judge(s) in this case found that swiping of the magnetic strips was no a violation of the 4th amendment, since there was no reasonable of expectation to privacy regarding the contents of the magnetic stripes:

DE L’Isle, 825 F.3d at 430 (“[T]he purpose of a . . . gift card is to enable the holder of the card to make purchases, and to accomplish this, the holder must transfer information from the card to the seller, which negates an expressed privacy interest.”); Bah, 794 F.3d at 633 (“A credit card’s stored information . . . is intended to be read by third parties.

I guess I would be in the negative 1% club since I don't subscribe to cable at all and only subscribe online to HBO during "Game of Thrones" season then swiftly cancel. The only 2 channels I would like to have, HGTV and Comedy, are not available separately, so I simply found alternative sources of entertainment such as Twitch and Youtube, both of which I gladly support (Twitch Turbo & Patreon for individual Youtube channels.)
It's worse than the obnoxious ad bars, just about every news website these days automatically plays embedded videos. If you check your browser cache you will find it having anywhere from 500MB to serveral GB of crap. AdBlock doesn't block it all either. I would expect that NoScript is your best bet, or using a text-only browser if they still exist. As for the Comcast data caps, I live in Illinois where they have been testing the caps for years now, only ever reached the old 250GB cap once back when I was downloading several Linux distros and had a Netflix subscription. With the new, higher, caps I have not come close despite using my Internet to mostly watch video (Twitch & Youtube.) They made it far easier to see how much of your allotment you are using when you login to their website now.
I called Verizon this past Monday and while discussing my desire to switch to the new plan the rep advised me that their is a $10 discount for the old plans if you are on a device payment plan which makes the old plan cost less than the new one. Difference of $5 less, if you don't have that discount currently being applied and are on a device payment plan then the new plan will appear to cost $5 less than the old one. I'm still going to switch to the new plan and pay $5 more to get the rollover data since I barely use half of my 1GB data as it is.

All that means is she won California and New York.
Putin accused of sharing facts with the world. Voters need not worry, as zero evidence of voting fraud found.
Wrong, the actual fix is:
ipconfig /release /renew
ipconfig
That's all it takes. Also, to prevent the problem until patched a user can disable fast boot in the Power Options.
This sounds like they are going to use the same system for the NX that they use for the 3DS to release and deliver games physically and digitally.

$10 to see a movie versos $110 to see a concert, go fuck yourself, the movie industry cares more about its customers than any other industry.
