The Surface Table actually did make it to market though. The Sheraton Hotel in Downtown Seattle had a couple in their lobby years ago. If I was in the area, I'd stop by just to play around with the tables.
You mean like your cell phone? Because these have always-on listening capabilities too, now. How about laptops with built in microphones? It is seriously getting harder and harder to NOT have these devices, and that's the point of passing laws.
85% is just hydro, which percentage wise has actually decreased overall thanks to wind and solar. All renewable combined is significantly higher percentage, and is higher than the last time I checked the reports a few years ago. Washington has massive wind farms on the east side of the mountains, plus a huge push for energy conservation. Most everything is already in place, their statement is more of just a formality of what is already happening.
1) robots.txt retroactively will delete things from the archive. Just create one telling the archive to skip certain content, and the archive will obey.
2) I just spent the past couple weeks digging up over 20 years of my own history thanks to the Internet Archive. All of this was previously published software, some 70 different projects. I've been pulling their archive and a couple others, mixing it all together, organizing it, and republishing a lot of the old software projects online via GitHub so anyone can use them freely. Hell, to be entirely honest, half of these projects I had even forgotten I did! Without the archive, all of this would have been lost. Now that the code is in git repositories, I've been able to quickly and easily mirror it to several places and properly archive it myself. They're a godsend!
This is simply algorithmic bias. The stores prioritize apps which have the largest install base and vendors with the overall largest install base. Many of these apps come bundled with the phones and tablets already. These numbers count in their respective stores, increasing not only the individual app's rating, but their vendor's rating as well. Therefor any other app released by the vendor will have a head start over any other apps from another vendor in the respective stores.
Hardware accelerated video decoding alone is a reason why browsers on Linux are worse than Windows. You can't just use the default browser install, instead needing to opt for a custom built browser just to get the support. Video playback is ages old, and STILL sucks in Linux.
The OS doesn't really mean anything at all. The OS only exists to run software which solves specific problems to get jobs done. On paper Linux looks like, but in the real world, it just consistently falls short for desktop usage. It does GREAT in the server world, due to the reliability and performance, but these are less of a concern on the desktop.
On the desktop, we need the ability to accomplish tasks by individuals that are not computer experts and dont have experts sitting around them constantly to ask questions to. Having done tech support in a small business of people who are not tech savvy, routinely being asked how to dial an international phone number, or reply to an email, or send a FAX, these are not tasks that the Linux ecosystem are suited for.
Linux is built for tech savvy people by tech savvy people. Linux is chock full of software engineers, but lacks UX engineers in all aspects of the ecosystem.
While the future may be different, the current standings are entirely different. Professional sports net players in the order of millions of dollars per year where as professional esports players are making in the tens of thousands (except for the very few exceptional cases). Baseball careers can easily be 20 years. Football is usually in the 5-10 year range. esports players usually last about 2 years, that's it.
It sucks saying this, too, because i'm a huge esports fan. but the money just isn't anywhere near the same caliber yet.
Working as IT in a small business retail store. Customer walks in and asks "Hey, can I have your Wifi password?" - and a non-tech person just handed it over. Said non-tech person also used same password for full admin access on their Windows Server machine.
Needless to say, once I was made aware of this, passwords were changed, and now the wifi password is unique from everything else just in case some bumbling idiot decides to hand it out again.
This new top-end CPU comes in at 400w and requires water cooling. Who the hell wants water cooling in the data center!? This just seems like a massive disaster waiting to happen. Also, they're no longer socketed, but instead soldered directly to the motherboard, just like SoCs.
More like laptops have become so thin over the past few years and their housing made out of plastic, even the current machines can easily scan them.... but sure, let's sell the government new hardware because "reasons"
Google's URL shortener was built directly into Google Docs, Sheets, and Drive for several years. Now all of those links shared about the web and linked in blogs and other useful locations... will just be dead. Thanks! I'm really glad that with all of those billions of dollars, you couldn't hire 1... just 1 person... to keep that simple service up and running.
I know it has been quite a long time since I've used a Linux distro without SystemD... But was that REALLY what it looked like!? It has been what... five? maybe ten! decades since I switched to SystemD, my memory isn't the best since those dark green times!

Maybe they should contact Boaty McBoatface for advice!?

It isn't that hard. We're already in the 85%+ range as it is because most of our state's power is hydro-electric.
For example, here is the info on Tacoma: https://www.mytpu.org/about-tp...

And yet, Microsoft is just "Microsoft" instead of "Azure"
Huh. Thanks for that explanation in the summary, I have absolutely no idea that Amazon was part of Amazon.

Simple, just send a checksum of the checksum! PROBLEM SOLVED!
If they need a vacuum cleaner, I'm sure all they have to do is open the door to find one

Hey, remember that time Level-3 and Cogent had disputes and split their links, effectively making two internets!? Yeah! That was GREAT!

And here we are, with the Angry Birds 2 movie trailer dropping a few days ago...
Google Maps also gave us Mario Kart and Pokemon Go got April Fools in past years. When done RIGHT, it is a huge marketing boon!
I'm sure all those crypto-miners have something to say about that!
