Did the author stop to consider that they directly list "repair costs". Maybe, just maybe, when a scooter is taken out of circulation for repair, then put back in, that it is assigned a new ID number?
Yeeeup, exactly this! I'm a software engineer. Aint no way in hell are the creative problems I work on solvable in 30 minutes.
On a small scale, sure, music may help creativity on projects that can be solved quickly. But on larger and more lengthy projects? Music is a godsend. It helps keep the mind sane.
I warned my ISP at the time, Rainier Connect, of this very issue back in 2012.... is 7 years plenty of time to consider it reasonable discloser to talk about it publicly? Damn right it is. NAME AND SHAME this horrible and dated practice!! https://www.rainierconnect.com...
I'm currently hoping the Pinebook Pro does very well when released later this year. I'm already planning on purchasing one for FreeBSD ARM development. The specs still are not the best, but are decent enough for some interesting development tasks. A portable ARM laptop with a hex-core processor, 4GB RAM, 64/128GB eMMC, Mini-PCIe with NVMe support, 1080p ISP display, 10,000 mha battery, and USB-C that supports charging + 4k/60hz video. This thing will be a little mini beast for $200. Most of programming is reading/writing code more so than executing it, so I believe this should be plenty powerful for solid web development and system service programming. This laptop NEEDS to do well to show the industry as a whole that these are the type of devices we WANT.
Does this take into consideration that the network devices that they're measuring are multi-purposed? I sure as hell do a LOT more than just stream music on my gigabit internet connection. So now the energy consumption needs to be divided by the bandwidth consumption of music, which is extremely minimal, to figure out how much it REALLY uses.
I wrote the RMX plugin for Winamp to add multimedia key support there... like 20 years ago. Glad to see that Chome is a "modern" piece of software now!
Did you enable profile syncing between devices? Chrome already supports password sync features, which can 1) be disabled, and 2) be entirely unavailable if not logged into the syncing services at all.
they are called hashes, and have been used forever. google doesn't need to store user passwords in their database or transmit them over the wire at all. google simply stores a hash of the username+password combination. when you enter credentials, that same hash is generated locally, then the resulting hash is transmitted over the wire and checked against the database. this is trivial to implement these days.
100k is a steal. That is the cost of one software engineer for one year. That's it. I'm sure that service required a team of people to operate on both sides.
I mean, you read the last part of TFS, but what about the rest? Did you miss this part?
"Some programs, like New York's, even analyze the voices of call recipients outside prisons to track which outsiders speak to multiple prisoners regularly."
Steam is actually the model for quality DRM too. It is there, sure, which sucks, but I understand the need for it. Steam DRM just WORKS. Simple as that. One of my all time pissed off purchases was the special edition of Unreal Tournament 2004. Back then, the game came on a massive bundle of CDs (normal edition), or on a single DVD for people who had a DVD drive (special edition, with tons of extra shit like headphones). The CD version worked just fine for everyone, but the DRM failed for the special edition DVD. So those of us that paid MORE money for what was seen as a premium product got fucked. A friend brought over a pirated copy just so I could play the game.
Or how about we don't give two fucks about "popular" and instead focus on technological superiority!? I'm a life long Opera user (which is now Blink/Chromium based) but seriously considering converting to Firefox *JUST* because of Webrender. I have it in testing on one of my development machines, and it literally is a solid 10x faster. When they say "the web at 60fps" they truly mean it. The web has become a very complex graphical thing, it only makes sense to have high performance dedicated graphics processors handling all of this instead of general purpose processors. THIS is what Mozilla has accomplished that none of Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon or other tech giants have been able to muster up yet. Offloading all that work to the GPU also means the CPU is free to do other more important tasks, or in the case of laptops, this means extended battery life.
Automatic updates has absolutely nothing to do with this. The service in question is just that, a service, not a piece of software. Think of it as Microsoft's version of the CDDB database. They're shutting down servers. Any metadata content for your CDs that is already downloaded locally will continue to function just fine locally. Only "new" content, such as attempting to load a new CD into Windows Media Player will fail to obtain the metadata because the metadata database service online is being shut down. These articles are just FUD tactics per usual about the end of days!

oh, like the GeForce 3 Ti200, GeForce 3 Ti500? Or how about a GeForce 2 MX? Or a GeForce 2 Go? Or Pro? Or Ultra? or GTS?

Same thing happened with 4G, HSDPA, LTE... it was a shitshow of every carrier using their own specs initially for a few years.

I use FreeBSD you insensitive clod!
What are you waiting for? EA pioneered canning people. https://heavy.com/games/2017/1...
You have two options
1) Buy from China
2) Buy from Amazon, Ebay, etc from sellers who ultimately themselves buy from China
So we can either buy direct from China, or buy indirect, at a higher price, from a reseller that buys from China.
Autocorrect cannot even properly fixed words typed on phones... yet these companies can predict what I'm saying!? HA!

Am I the only one that at first read that as "Taco Bell" and wondered why a fast food place gave two shits about VPNs on their WiFi?
