you don't know the half of the dirty tricks, scanning and reporting almost all of your software does behind your back. how could you if you are using closed source software. if you care about that stuff you shouldn't be using windows at all (as you know, windows itself already does this, no need to install extra software).
don't be so surprised, this has been the state of things since so long. people do easily forget, this whole 'surprise' about facebook and many other privacy violating online services was already documented many, many years ago, still people act surprised and outraged as if it's a new thing.
i never really saw the point of steam machines, steamOS is available for free and you can build your own 'machine' install steamOS on it and you're done. all the people i know that have a steam machine, have build their own. the official ones were either very expensive or underpowered while in the end, they were just plain pc's (alienware was about the only vendor that tried to make it not just a pc).
valve developed a controller and the link, i honestly don't know why they didn't do the same for steam machines.
there are so many solutions to this problem. - have multiple users for different purposes, each user can have heir own security settings, rules, etc - run a VM - have an external stick/drive/dvd/etc to boot your ultrasecure OS from - etc.
no need for some weird implementations vendors might come up with, which would turn out to not be secure at all after the get cracked by hackers, not to mention that each implementation would be different and the lack of a standard would make it very hard to work with - all for nothing.
it's in the rules, the netflix movies do not comply to the rules and thus can't compete. every festival can make up it's own rules, i don't see the problem. ofcourse it is stupid and silly and there are really good netflix movies available, but that is besides the point.
if i would organise a games festival, but in the rules it states it can only be cardboard games, then computer game companies can complain about it all they want, their products simply don't apply.
users probably didn't ask for this, but java developers sure did. that is why you have so many open source libraries available for java that complements it with things people find missing in the core language. a great example is joda time, which does time handling/manipulation and almost everybody used. while a decent native solution has only been available since java 8.
when you ask woman to comment why they didn't consider an CS education, you should be happy to get an answer, most of the time it just didn't even crossed their mind as a possibility.
Somehow everybody is acting surprised and stock fall and people leave facebook... for something we already know for years. Who did Mark Zuckerberg piss off to create this mass revolt? Looks to me the same machine that was using facebook earlier as his ally has now turned against it, the question is - why?
back when i was younger, this was exactly how we learned coding as well. computers were way too expensive, so we got all the theory and made our programs on paper (guarding and keeping them, until, one day, perhaps, you actually got the chance of typing them into the real thing).
the thing that is different here, is that we didn't have any gui's, so it was far easier for the teacher to explain things on the black board if everything is cli based.
clear text passwords and unprotected databases, we have learned nothing. and these things are not even difficult or expensive to implement - there is no excuse here.
How can they even have power over servers in other countries? Will they be making world wide agreements with other govs? Or is this only about US companies with servers in other countries, even in those cases don't the rights of the data on these servers fall under the country where stored?
what machine will power this? if you see the specs for the current best vr headsets, which don't come close to this, it's already a very powerful and expensive build.
read it and thought the same thing. and on top of that, 'modern' keyboards are already bad enough, and i though it couldn't get much worse, but hey, it looks like apple might pull it of.

this is known for a long time already, why is everybody acting so surprised these days about all these privacy issues?

for average joe, any computer is basically fast and good enough.

google should block themself, their search is also used a lot for piracy purposes.

face ID doesn't work properly anyway, and it is too expensive.
why would you want it?

pornhub has a SFW section?
we'll always have 4chan!

'fix' the license problem.
and it's a problem for who, exactly?
riiiiight...

nuff said.
yes, old consoles (or home computers) look horrible on 4k flat screen tv's.
that is why all real retro gamers also keep several crt tv's around.

isn't that right? i mean, maybe this Icke guy is just a joker. who can tell the difference between the onion and real news anymore these days?

We know how it's going to end, Amazon is basically BNL from Wall-E.

a new distro release used to be exciting, these days it's not. and this is a minor release update, so even less exciting.
