Finally it will be nice to see that garbage gone (at least when using a public terminal, since I've had that garbage blocked long, long ago).
The 75k version is more expensive because it puts more wear and strain on the cells, which has implications on maintenance and warranty. Batteries really start to degrade when your charge them above 80% or discharge them below 40% of physical cell capacity. The 60k and 75k use a different definition of 0% and 100% of capacity visible to the user.
Because malformed saves have been used time and time again to exploit shitty save parsers in games, and run unsigned code. It's been a thing since long before the Switch. Remember rooting the original Xbox using a USB stick?
But if you're worried about Switch savegame lockdown, worry not. You can short a few pins together and boot an unsigned OS, thanks to a buffer overflow in their secure boot implementation. Then use JKSV to copy your saves to your card and edit them.
Prisons have a cellphone problem. The rest of us have a Stingray problem. Put two and two together, apply whitelisting and recording as appropriate, and add a footnote about a "reasonable expectation of privacy".
Problem solved.
The "related articles widget" amounts to little more than clutter. This is part of facebook's "chaining" mechanism, devised to increase "engagement" (at the cost of hijacking the user's media consumption flow and shortening their attention span).
The same goes for the associated "featured for you" widget, along with "people also shared" and "popular from ", and all other related garbage.
I threw together a modded version of the Facebook app, which tries to get rid of as much of this garbage as possible. This is obviously a self-signed APK, but all the patching was done in place. You are welcome to decompile it, diff it against stock, and see that all the code modifications are basically single-instruction patches (with virtually no room to include malware).
I've got a patched facebook APK which gets rid of the location tracking crap, along with some other social crapware (and most ads). It's about one version old now, so it might nag you to update. The patches are a bitch to rebase, so I only do it every few versions.
Warning- self-signed APK, so trust me at your own risk.

Have these people stopped to consider that maybe the people blocking their ads have no interest in purchasing products based on ads?
Before adblock, I have never intentionally clicked on an ad I saw. So, if anything, adblock saves bandwidth costs by preventing advertisers from serving ads to an ad-adverse demographic. Let the luddites shoulder the cost of free content by clicking on ads. It's win-win!
Although the H-1B visa technically allows the employees to change jobs, that's not the way it happens in practice. Unless you already have a second employer lined up (who had already gone through the lengthy legal process to be able to hire you), leaving an H-1B job pretty much means deportation.

Not so.
Not all 3G phones support all the bands. For instance, there is an AT&T and a T-Mo version of the Nexus One, and a mismatched phone/carrier will allow you to access only 2 of the 3 bands.
I believe it was called "Survive the Outbreak." Original site is down, but youtube has a copy. It is also one of the only two legitimate, non-obnoxious uses of youtube annotations I have seen.

Where is the rest of the hardware teardown? All we are given is a single photo of a ribbon cable inside the phone, but none of
the shots of the chipset, PCBs, layout, etc.
More interesting still is the fact that the one (uninteresting) photo of the disassembly is named open13.jpg, implying that there
was an entire series of these shots, including juicy things like the processor, etc.
Why are these photos missing? Careless omission, or is something else going on here?
Well... It appears that the first google hit for 'chrome add-ons' links to mychromeaddons.com
This site is made to look like google's, but is LITTERED WITH ADS. The whois information reveals it's a third-party site.
The OFFICIAL chrome add-on site also does list an AdBlock extension, but something is fishy about it. When trying to install it, Chrome warns that "this extension is trying to access your data on api.flickr.com." What the hell?
We'll see if and how Google will try to combat these issues...
Would apple seriously ever consider USING such a thing? It would be most terrible. But of course, apple is so obsessed with its image that I doubt they would ever employ this technology.
Of course, having a patent on this atrocious god-awful piece of work will effectively prevent other, less image-conscious vendors from doing similar things, which might mean (could it be?) less intrusive advertising on other platforms.
Get Eagle. It's free and there are a lot of part libraries out there. It's quite backward, but you will soon learn that most electronics CAD tools are. I guess there isn't all THAT much overlap between ECE and HCI people... Have Eagle produce a Gerber file and then send it off to your favorite board house. Happy routing:)
In a connection-oriented system, it is easier to provide QoS (guaranteed bandwidth, delay, etc) because the routers know which packet belongs to which flow. Thus, the routers can maintain per-flow bookkeeping, and drop any packets from a connection that is exceeding its allocated bandwidth. At the same time, the network is told the amount of requested bandwidth per connection ahead of time. Since each router knows its available bandwidth (and the bandwidth reserved so far), each router can definitely answer whether or not it can support X amount of extra bandwidth. This way, a proper path can be negotiated through the network, at connection time, such that every node along the way can handle the requested bandwidth, delay, jitter, etc.
As for security, knowing your path to someone else isn't the issue. The issue is being able to manipulate that path (and others) at will. There are a number of hijacking, redirection, man-in-the-middle, etc attacks that rely on issues within the way IP packets are routed. In a circuit-switched system, like MPLS, the control plane basically lives in its own separate world and is essentially decoupled from the data plane (like with the phone network). That is, forwarding decisions are made based on an extra attribute connected to every packet (the so-called label ID) and not on some user-accessible field within the data itself. The only time that the user has access to this attribute is when specifying the "connection ID" associated with each outgoing packet, but that is strictly an agreement between the user and his serving router and has little relation to the upstream label tables.
Well, of course we need to specify the destination address. In the MPLS case, we would signal the router serving us that we wish to talk to a certain address, and the router would send back a label ID that corresponds to that connection. (While the destination addresses are global, the label IDs can be reused per pair of devices, but that is besides the point). At this point, the path is set up and cannot really be "messed with" and you reference it by the label ID.
The security benefit is that the routing mechanism is invisible to the end user. He needs to specify the destination and the rest of the connection is up to the network.
Of course, the other benefits are efficiency and traffic engineering. With the network being aware of the actual connections (unlike with TCP, where packets are essentially disjoint from a router's point of view), it is relatively easy to provide features like bandwidth reservation, QoS guarantees, etc. And the actual switching process for circuit switching is a lot more efficient. It is far easier for a router to perform a label lookup and then push/pop/swap labels than it is to carry out the longest prefix match lookup. In fact, such technology is already used internally by some ISPs, but it is not available globally or end-to-end.
