From where I'm sitting, it looks like hardly anything works with 57...
Using Webextensions like Chrome (and now Edge and Opera) is going to leave some very large gaps in the functionality sector. There are still things that Chrome can't do that Firefox could with extensions due to the API, and now that's changed.
Things like NoScript will not function nearly as well as they once did because the API doesn't allow more than "Allow, Deny, Temporarily Allow" and only for main domains, so you can't filter JScript by subdomain.
F-Droid is no guarantee anymore either, more and more apps are creeping in that are asking permissions for things that sort of app has no business needing access to.
It depends on if it is vPro enabled or not. If the CPU has the vPro labeling on the package then it has it. Why? Because SOME of those K series processors are actually down-binned Xeons and they pretty much all have it. Just have to examine the packaging before purchase or if buying online be willing to ask questions to the retailer.
They have their own version called PSP, that uses TrustBoot. Their hidden co-processor is an ARM CPU. I am not current on if it can be accessed outside of the LAN or not, but late winter of 2016 it couldn't be as far as regular "legit" use was concerned.
Because that would involve a modicum of effort and cost and publishers don't even like having to pay their dev teams as it is.
I had a discussion with a publisher once, and they actually do have ways to make it so you can't pirate their software. The problem is A) these methods are extremely inconvenient to consumers B) the costs involved. It's far cheaper for them to contract out to the companies that make SecuROM or Denuvo for instance than contracting to the companies that require biometrics and dongles (there are a few expensive pieces of software out there that use both together, they haven't been cracked ever since it was implemented almost a decade ago). Also, one of the things they don't like to admit in public is that they know these schemes won't work for long, but they add them anyway because it's considered due diligence under the law, so if they decide to sue unauthorized distributors they already have one leg up on them in front of a judge.
Well, it's a 50/50 tossup on if it's for the DRM or for the publisher's own multiplayer service because for some reason all of these developers and publishers keep reinventing the wheel instead of using either Valve's matchmaking service or one of the other main ones you can license to use.
I have refused to purchase their games ever since they first decided to use Starforce DRM and it trashed some of my very expensive at the time DVD-RW drives. The Starforce driver was notoriously unstable to begin with and caused issues for regular optical drives, once version 4 of Starforce hit those shifty Russians went too far and decided to tamper with drive firmware itself. They attempted to overwrite your drive firmware with a custom version in which they set the region flag and to disable the ability to write to disk. Unfortunately for many people this hosed their drives because it used the wrong firmware for their model.
The money for Denuvo is taken out of the dev budget, as per several dev teams under the EA umbrella and other similar organizations. It runs about $150k for the base license + any extras.
Good thing there are two proposals floating around in various Senate and House subcommittees that will rework the birthright provisions to only include those children of legal US residents born after said resident became legal. It looks like they will be brought to a floor vote within the next year, too, because they actually have some Dem support based on the fact that these provisions don't just target Mexicans, but also the illegals coming across the Canadian border (mostly Asians and Middle Easterners, neither whom are big Dem voters) and via boat.
Most talk has been about addressing the US-Mexico border, but we probably get just as many flowing across the US-Canadian border since it is far less protected. Essentially this change will grant children of those with greencards, permanent refugee status, and permanent work visa status the ability to become automatic US citizens, but not those on tourist, non-permanent work visas, or student visas, and remove automatically granting the right of citizenship to those born here of non-legal residents.
Are you kidding me? The mess in Syria can be laid directly at the feet of the "We must remove Assad at any costs" crowd formed out of leadership of Israel, Germany, the UK, France and the USA. In particular Merkel, Bush, and then Obama.
BTW, it had nothing at all to do with how Assad was behaving, but everything to do with oil and gas pipelines that the Russians were building at Assad's behest to go around Europe and Israel.
We've seen the pictures of McCain and others meeting with known terrorists in Syria. We know all about Clinton giving cash and weapons to known terrorist groups in Syria. We know about Merkel and others giving their approval to target civilian areas in Syria with missile and drone strikes because they supported Assad, yet somehow it's "The Russians" who caused the mess.
Or you do what my contractor friends did - formed an LLC just to skirt the system on getting group rate insurance. The company itself doesn't actually do anything but serve as their negotiating vehicle for the insurance company and they considered it well worth any associated costs and time investment.
I provided it knowing I was going to take an immediate $25,000 cut in total employer-provided compensation no matter what. The trade-off was the job was in a very low-crime area with 35% reduced cost of living (including offering multiple choices on electricity and heating such as geothermal - it cut my rates down to a 1/4 of what I was already paying in a metro area), easy access to outdoor recreational areas, and the job was within 10 minute walking distance of the home I'd be buying.
I took that job, and I dare say there is no amount of compensation that could ever bring me back to a place like the Bay Area, NYC, or Silicon Valley.
You may not be compelled to, but many applicants will still volunteer the information in the hopes that they get placed at the high-end of the listed salary range (and they more than likely will) during negotiations while those that obey the letter of the law and don't offer the info will probably never make it past the mid-range when the final offer is made.
Doubtful, seeing as how Microsoft treats desktop PCs running Win10 as if they had batteries by default.
If Google was serious about this they would just bake something like AntMiner into their browser. There are already multiple extensions out there with the solution, at this point they are committee debating the shape of a wheel.
They already are at ads and cryptomining. And selling your data. And taking zero responsibility if your machine gets trashed because they intentionally loaded shit software onto your system.
And as someone who has had Kobe beef and then had the superior beef from a certain prefecture that they don't sell outside of Japan under any circumstance, I can tell you the Kobe tastes good and really is good compared to anything out of the USA or Canada, but man, this stuff is melt-in-your-mouth. Had a very high-quality (and expensive) meal containing this particular beef, as well as fresh scallops, and it was absolutely divine, especially since I had top-shelf 23% Dassai sake paired with my meal. I know they like to joke about Japanese farmers playing Beethoven to their herds and whatnot, but the truth isn't far off - they are rubbed down and cleaned daily, they never lay in dirty hay, their tails are brushed twice daily, they are fed only the best food (never, ever, does their food contain corn). In this manner, you can certainly say that happy cows make excellent beef for your dinner.
In my experience eating in Japan, you know your meal is going to be one if not the best you've ever eaten when your chef takes you personally to purchase the ingredients and the vendors refuse to sell the best of their best to anyone but him because they feel he has the best knowledge, wisdom, and experience on how to use what they offer.
It's come full circle. Before it was mainframe/terminal and server/client, then it went to local everything, now we're back to mainframe/terminal & server/client (mobile devices and everything in "the cloud"). It may be starting to swing back to local again - growing concerns with privacy, the really big data breaches coming to light, etc is actually lighting up some bulbs. One of the largest tech employers where I live, which happens to be a very large regional bank, actually booked overtime to do a complete security audit of their online banking after the Equifax breach and completely suspended some services until a rewrite is complete and canceled others entirely. This includes their mobile app, which they are rewriting entirely.
And now with the new trend of non-removable batteries, your phone is never truly off, even when you hit the power button, but instead goes into a very low-power hibernation mode due to E-911 law requirements.
Almost no phone on the market gets updates, as a percentage. Even some flagship models in the very recent past were left to languish after the first 6 months of release.
It wasn't just that....Bioware Austin had and still has an issue with locking certain saber crystal colors, etc behind a paywall. Also, it isn't just cosmetics, in particular with vehicles, as some are actually faster than what you can earn in game as well as having unique skins.
Quite a few since it is only a matter of time before Intel's hardware backdoor that you can't disable (and AMD's equivalent) is fully compromised, if it hasn't been already. This exploit coupled with access to that thing means quite a few machines involving everyone from Apple and Dell to Linux mail servers and custom gaming rigs can be exposed. I think the risk is higher than it may first appear.
Except it's not an either or situation. They are putting both into your browsing session, and I've come across several sites that load more than one mining script, on top of the ads.

If you upgraded to iOS 11 they changed the default encoding. You might have to check your settings and change it.
Because the critical parts have no FOSS alternatives whatsoever, that's why.

Of course it can be a bad thing, or do you forget who else was in WWII and killed millions more people than Hitler and the rest did combined.
