Yep, and the way you never know what sort of OS you'll be running tomorrow.
MS has given themselves total control over your computer. You have no say in the matter.
Obviously they're not going to delete all your files, but... what happens if they push out a bad update and everybody's machine is out of action for a week?
What happens if they decide a new monthly subscription model is the way forward for Windows "professional" users? Insert credit card...?
He also assumes that our printers, etc., will have drivers available and we won't need to spend $1000 for the privilage of junking them.
And... that all our documents and data files will still be there after an "upgrade". Mine certainly weren't when I tried it. Luckily for me the rollback to Win7 worked or I'd have lost everything.
...says he contacted Netgear about the flaw four months ago, and went public with information on it after the company failed to address the issue on its own.
How many times...?
It's time to reinstate public hangings for this offense, IMHO.
Yeah, I've thought about the difference as well, but all-wheel-drive vehicles with vehicle stability assist do really seem to make snow- and ice-covered roads seem like pavement on a dry, sunny day a lot of the time.
So.... you're saying that cars work better when a computer is controlling the brakes and power delivery instead of a human?

Learn C#6 and make your code multithreaded too. It isn't going away, and people like me will eat your lunch in the coming year. Nothing else scales.
I don't know whether to LOL or facepalm.
People like me have already eaten that particular lunch, many years ago.
we have no idea what he will do when facing two conflicts ideas.
Yes we do. He'll choose the option that makes the most profit (for him).
Does anybody seriously believe that Trump cares about the common man? The common man is everything that Trump despises.
People dont just want handouts. They want to be able to prosper and live with dignity, do meaningful work, and contribute to their country.
I assure you there's a LOT of people who do want handouts and are quite happy to sit on the sofa all day drinking beer.
Microsoft removed the cheesy Aero interface for one reason only: mobile devices could not run it efficiently.
It's almost as if you of abstraction layers. There's no reason it can use Aero on the desktop and something different on a mobile device.
They could even let the user choose what they want!
You took your machine to a computer store for idiots to mess with and you didn't make a backup first? Pot, meet kettle.
I wish I still had Vista.
No you don't. Trust me on this one.

(yes, I had a backup, I'm not that stupid)
Do LG know something Samsung doesn't about batteries or is Samsung just passing the buck?
"We'll give you the lucrative battery contract but you have to guarantee to cover any liabilities..."
It would make more sense to try to establish a precedent with a defendant which had fewer resources.
Nah, they'd have to go after Apple eventually.
Might as well start with the toughest case. If you can win against Apple then everybody else will lose almost by default.
PS: Governments have plenty of resources, too.
They had to start somewhere, right Luca?
It might as well be one of the worst offenders, ie. You.

I wonder what the next 5 sites will be. And the 5 after that...
Slipperly slopes are slippery.
VPNs can be banned.
Really? You might be able to sell your method to the Chinese government.
What's a quota?
If I go to google and type 'disable' the first result I see in the autocomplete box is 'disable cortana'
The second result is 'disable cortana windows 10'.
I suspect foul play by Google: People should be searching for that with Bing, right?
(True fact: 'Disable cortana', 'download firefox' and 'download chrome' are the only searches I've ever done on Bing)
That _is_ what Microsoft's 'partner' wants you to believe, yes.
Works perfectly for me.
Never realized that key performs scrolling.
Why don't people use the Page-up/-down keys anymore?
It's almost as if you've never seen an Apple keyboard.
How does Korora know what packages I need installed?
The NSA gathers that information for them.
It sure doesn't seem like they've made much real progress at all over the past several decades.
So .... basically you haven't been paying attention.
Why not?
I'd pay to see that.
Yeah, I've thought about the difference as well, but all-wheel-drive vehicles with vehicle stability assist do really seem to make snow- and ice-covered roads seem like pavement on a dry, sunny day a lot of the time.

I'm sure the car's accelerometers are more accurate than your inner ear. Faster reaction times, too.

Let's be honest, what's really killing you is the lack of social antennas.
That's exactly what cellphone society is creating, yes. Well spotted.
300 cellphones in an enclosed space. Just the constant Whatsapp beeps will be bad enough.
