AGREED! And Yahoo owned Flickr also used to be the absolute best image archive on the internet too, until they tried to rebrand Flickr as a social network instead of an image host.
Optional Ethernet adapter... THAT ALONE = SOLD! Congested wifi in the city pisses me the fuck off. This has been the one and only feature I've wanted from these streaming devices all along.
Wait, this launched TODAY? I've had access to it for several months now. I know they do limited A/B testing, but I've also browsed it for curiosity sake, and countless others in my local area have it too. Maybe the A/B test was regionalized? Not sure on this one. Anywho, I hope they fixed it. On my phone, it has worked well, but opening the market place would instantly crash the app on my Nexus 7 tablet. This was even more annoying, because swiping left/right in the app changed between the different tabs at the top, one being timeline, the very next to the right was the market place. Accidentally swipe right even the slightest, and it would switch to the market place tab, and instantly crash the app. That's one way to keep users happy and keep coming back to your app! Accidentally do the wrong gesture, and have the whole thing crash.
The old HP company split into two "new" companies: HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, so yes, on an exaggerated technicality, it is indeed a new company.
Until the encryption key used for that blu-ray disk hits the blacklist and renders the disk entirely useless on all new (or firmware updated) blu-ray players!
It isn't a case of deliberately delaying it. It is a case of items shipped cross-country via air mail (2 day shipping) or ground. (5-7 day). Items have to be physically stored somewhere before they are shipped out. Unless it is a hot and common item (Amazon's Basics line, iPhones, things like that), odds are the items probably isn't going to be stocked in a local Amazon warehouse. If you got prime, it is free to ship it via air, if not, it ships ground. These terms are not used on check out to simplify the process though, but if you purchase from a retailer like Newegg, they'll still list the shipper and method involved.
Prime is a "scam"? And yet you're only considering the cost of shipping vs shipping times. Prime also offers exclusive discounts (I purchased Overwatch Origins edition for almost the cost of the basic $40 set). Plus the books, movies, TV shows, and other media content available and content storage. It is a whole bundle of services, not just a shipping service.
Actually, I'm a part-time photographer who routinely works on PSD files so large they have to be saved as PSB. On a single gigabit link, these files take 20-60 seconds to save, so yeah, the increased bandwidth is much appreciated!
Or quite the opposite: once the resources become available, new tools will emerge that can use them. 100mbps is "fine" if all you're doing is casual web browsing and email, but on a home or corporate network with file sharing involved, this starts to eat up quite a bit more bandwidth. Add in 1080p/4k video streams, and that is even more. Now what about removing the most failed component in the PC, the local storage, and replace it with a network booting environment with all backend storage sitting on a nice RAID-Z array. The more users you put into this setup, the more bandwidth required. Shove dual or quad 10gbps on the file servers, and then run 2.5/5gbps to the individual clients. It really does make a difference in performance with boot times and application loading.
On CenturyLink, if you're under 7mbps speed, you get a 300GB cap. Over 7mbps, you get a 600GB cap. Luckily, these are higher than 6 months ago when I signed up, which was at 150GB and 300GB respectively. However, if you're on a 1gbps line, you're uncapped. This is completely arbitrary. So, if 100 users at 5mbps saturated their link non-stop, they would consume 500mbps, and hit their cap pretty damn quick. Whereas a single 1gbps user using only 50% of their capacity can do so endlessly without penalty at all, while consuming exactly the same amount of bandwidth.
And to the average user, what you're suggesting is just another "click [OK] to continue" prompt on every web site that'll be ignored due to the commoner's lack of understanding of information security. Plus when you add LetsEncrypts recommendation of expiring certs every 30 days (they max at 90, but recommend replacing them sooner), that means at least once a month users will be prompted for a new cert. Even as an informed user, how can you be reasonably sure the new cert is coming from the intended source and not a MitM attack?
You then connect to your devices via static routes provided by an isolated router which has visibility on both (V)LANs. This config can also be automated slightly by adding the static route lists to the DHCP response messages.
What defines a "programming language" anymore to where PHP doesn't fall under this? C/C++ can be ran from an interpreter or JIT compiler. HipHop can compile PHP into native code. So what separates them?
Oddly enough, Facebook has reverted from HTML5 back to Flash for their desktop site. This is highly odd, considering they support video on non-flash-enabled mobile devices. This is extremely frustrating trying to see videos from friends and then be notified I cannot, due to lack of flash, although it worked a month or two ago.
I personally wouldn't have really changed much. Today, in retrospect, yes, these things are more important. But in the earlier days, adoption was the most important goal of the internet. IPv4 is a relatively easy spec to implement. This goes for routing tables, system administration, hardware support, etc. Yes, the migration to IPv6 is a pain in the ass, but the learning curve for admins and hobbyists as well as the implementation burden on manufacturers some 20-30 years ago simply wouldn't be feasible.
Actually, YES, surprisingly. It is still the quickest and easiest way to report and get fixed bugs for countless open-source projects. Said projects have GitHub, JIRA, and other systems in place, but it is usually still significantly faster to just hop onto the dev channel for the project, ping a key developer directly, and get things resolved right on the spot.
In other news, Free OTA HDTV is still as free as when it started. I've also recently started experimenting with network connected HDTV tuner hardware so that every device on the network has access to the OTA broadcasts with just a simple app.

But they have rocks and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and... WATER!!!
Why would they need Internet access!? pfffttt

Machine learning, really? They mean the "recent documents" feature that has been apart of windows, since what, '98 or so? Super Cool Story, Bro!
Or maybe the complex passwords *ARE* the problem. Who the hell can remember 100 different complex passwords?
Repeat after me: TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION!
Use a simple password and an authenticator that produces a one-time password.

Bandwidth caps are BULLSHIT.

Except OpenWRT STILL doesn't have proper Wifi drivers for the C7. It "works", but at a very slow, limited capacity.

I know ya'll in the tech industry love to poach employees from other companies... But REALLY Capcom!? Did you have to hire that guy from Sony !?!?
Most likely pre-configured for 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4, so most likely at a bare minimum, yes for DNS.
Buy Wifi "router" - disable WAN interface. disable DHCP. assign static LAN IP. *BAM*, instant extra Wifi access point for a house.
