How is the number of subscribers one has on YouTube even a thing that people care about? Isn't there something even slightly more important they could be pursuing?
Before Microsoft bought it, It was more of a meeting and news site. Sucked only a little. But also the source of several gigs, so I'm not complaining.
It started going downhill about six months after Microsoft bought it. Now TFA gives an accurate description. I used to have browser tab open there all the time. Now I go there once or twice a year. And respond to (almost) all connection requests with, "Have we met?" Usually the last I hear from them.
That same, "um, not me," is all that's necessary with my bank's debit cards, as well. I suspect that it's because the card is also a Visa card. They called me three weeks ago with a suspicious transaction. I said, "um, not me," and that was it. The $817.43 charge was gone, the card number revoked.
The worst part was that I had to wait about ten days for a new card/number.
Really not a big deal. With weight transfer, the harder you brake, the larger share of the stopping is done by the front wheels anyway.
I disabled the rear brake on my race bike. As did many other racers. Sure, the needs of street vehicles is different, but in most circumstances, front brakes only is adequate.
I suspected they pulled shit like this. I've had it only a month or so, but now I'm even more gratified that I set their router up in bridge mode, and kept my internal routers as they were.
Of course, it helps that my U-Verse service is only for a 'net connection. If y'all have it for TV and/or phone as well, I imagine it gets trickier.
After reading the comments here, and noting the level of caring, consideration and sympathy for a family going through very difficult circumstances, I've concluded I should never die.
Your experience sounds very unusual. This can't be normal, or everybody would be screaming. Maybe you just have a lemon phone. It happens, and Apple should make it right. It's got a year of Apple Care. Fix the phone, rather than bitch about it.
Speaking from my personal experience (which is my only qualification to speak at all), keeping a steady stream of new and different jobs does the trick. I've been programming professionally for thirty-five years. I've never had a gig that lasted more than three. Some are "permanent", some contracts, some on-site, some remote. Many of them have great promise at the start ("I could retire with this job"), but something always changes. The project is finished, or cancelled, the company goes broke, or sees a major shift in direction, management changes and has different priorities than before. Some times it just doesn't work out.
But the end result is that I'm in no danger of becoming complacent. There's always new stuff to learn, new projects to pursue. I'm still having fun.
Right, because once Apple switched to the Lightning connector, all those old 30-pin connectors stopped working, and everybody with older phones had to buy new cables. And we all know that Mercedes, Volvo and Ferrari use nothing but industry-standard parts that are compatible with those from all other manufacturers.
It wasn't really the bug that set Linus off. At least not in my reading of the post. It was Mauro's cavalier attitude toward the bug. He tried to shrug it off as a problem with pulseaudio, when it clearly was a bug that he had introduced.
I'm not a big fan of this style of management, but I can't fault any of the content of Linus' rant.

I'm baffled.
The more important candidates are AT&T (again!), Verizon, and Comcast.

what an asshole.

"This article at finder puts forward the case that Nintendo will be stepping back into the virtual realty game ..."
I suppose property values are prohibitively expensive.
Data is a collection of anecdotes using a more or less scientific method, my friend.
Thanks, Mitt.

That's just the cover story. He's really been cooking meth.
Theater is life. Film is art. Television is furniture.

If only they'd call them Quatloos, I'd grab some for sure.
Uh-huh. And what effect does all this high performance have on the containing tablet's battery life?
Too late. Beat you to it by a minute.
And they said it would never arrive...
Thank you for eliding their elusive allusion.
Or was it just an illusion?
These groups were simply made for each other, for our entertainment. Certainly a better use of packets than streaming sitcom television anyway.
Huzzah! Those with mod points, heed this voice!
Whitespace improves readability.
Can't say the same for grey text, but it looks pretty all the same.
Maybe Apple doesn't want to dethrone Microsoft.
Correct. They don't. They want to make them irrelevant. And Microsoft seems to be helping them mightily.
Gnarly, dude. Totally tubular.
