I'd sooner have these people out in the open, where they can be monitored and action taken (when appropriate), than driven "underground". Denying them "public" platforms means they turn to alternative methods and in the end we end up with a large multiple of people like Anders Behring Brievik (whom is partially a direct result of the actions taken by European nations to suppress everything Nazi-related) instead of just a handful.
Right now it only requires local access, and only for certain makes and models. When you introduce things like OnStar, local embedded WAPs, 3G/4G/5G radio controllers, etc into the equation, suddenly that local access requirement away rather quickly.
Automakers are rushing into making "smart" vehicles that talk to each other and all sorts of other things while on the road, it won't be long before someone decides it will be fun to break into these systems and cause all sorts of havoc.
Pre-ACA the cost of hiring an average employee was between $3,000-$5,000 considering all other factors, and had been at that cost range for about twenty-five years. Post ACA it has blossomed to a range of $8,000-$16,000, and in some rare cases $24,000 per employee hired.
That's a rather strong incentive to hire less frequently, reduce your workforce, and automate as quickly as possible, disregarding anything else.
It isn't just that, it's the fact that international conglomerates hold international patents on pretty much anything and everything involving hardware and the associated firmware. What good is any OSS for hardware if it can't run or is otherwise severely crippled (looking at you in particular, GPU, printer, and most networking and sound card drivers). For things like the GPU drivers, it is highly doubtful they will ever become truly open because the major makers like AMD and nvidia license patented tech from third-parties in their designs and driver software, and Intel is always way behind on the hardware & feature end.
Except from what I've experienced so far, not one single developer from Samsung all the way through Google and the small guys follows that specification when it comes to allowing the end-user to customize this part of push notifications, it's either "all on" or "all off" for their entire application (and sometimes for their entire suite), there is no fine grain tuning.
Seems to me to be a great way to use the device's resources to do all kinds of stuff for you/your company without paying the owner of the device for doing so and without informing them you're doing it.
Yes, social intelligence and the rest of that hippy-dippy feelz before realz crap that tries to make people feel better at failing basic math and logical concepts. Any of the modern IQ tests that I've seen test spatial awareness all the way through the ability to work through basic to complex logic problems. The funny thing is, these logic problems are really basic when you get down to it - testing your ability to learn and adapt at the most mundane, child-like level, and the fact so many people fail this part is a bad sign for humanity in general.
Even worse, it's been the main offender when it comes to flagging official Windows OS files as malevolent and deleting them, requiring a reinstall of Windows.
We've all used it for so long that it has become muscle memory - we don't even give it a second thought, we just open it up, do what we need to do quickly, and move on.
Yeah, I am fortunate enough to need a beefier solution. I have GigE for my desktop machines, media server, and 4k UHD tv, and right now I am using dual-band wifi for the various iThingies, blu-ray players, Rokus, Chromecasts, 1080p tvs, etc in the house (looking into tri-band wifi routers if my wife and son keep buying more wireless toys).
Yes, and they all complain about two things: It runs hot, and the wireless portion stops working within 6 months to 1 year of use. It was one of the ones I looked at, and the features it offers at that price range is very nice, but there are just too many people saying it becomes a paperweight too quickly for my liking.
I wonder how many of these speed tests are run with JS and video loading disabled vs having it on and using real world browsing scenarios. I know running with no JS breaks things on the modern web, but even crusty old IE runs like speedracing champ when the mostly useless crap found in JS scripts isn't allowed to load, ditto with videos.
They do not allow it and haven't from the start, I tried that already back during the beta invite days, and I was an "early" invitee (invite number 643 if anyone is curious).
It covers writers for every distribution channel, including the streaming ones. You can't write for any show without being a Guild member, etc. That's why the last time they went on strike, everything went to reruns and whatnot. If the Writer's Guild goes on strike, they also often get supported by members of the SAG and DG, so you basically get no new movies, tv shows, etc, existing ones are canceled or put on hold until the strike ends, etc, and the reach of this is even into non-USA countries, such as the UK and Canada.
The end-users aren't the customers per se in this arrangement, the Youtube division under Alphabet is. It's the same with the arrangement between say, ESPN and various cablecos. There was no sticking to their guns on this. Either they complied with the requirements of the companies offering their content, or they (and thus, the end-users in return) get nothing. This is also why you can't just get ESPN or ESPN2 by themselves, but have to rent an entire suite of channels that they also own, in a package along with them, because the owners of ESPN require it to be offered that way, or you get nothing (and by you, I mean both cablecos/sat, etc. and end-users).
These content providers are essentially making Youtube provide their content in the same way they offer it to traditional tv providers (many, whom also prevent ad-skipping on their provided DVRs).
That is because many employers frame it as, for example, "We will match your contribution up to 6% of your total pay per year." Some employers will then go further and then mention a hard limit dollar amount that they won't go beyond when matching contributions.
It does provide some benefit...Nintendo and other companies like Sega have been looking in to repacking old titles from previous consoles and reselling them on everything from PC to the Playstation, and this would require an internally packed emulator of course. Well, this might be an indication that this actually will be happening and if those titles go on sale in the Windows Store, they certainly don't want competing projects that allow you to play those same titles without paying them, listed.
Still your point is invalidated, as was already confirmed in a previous Wikileaks release on the CIA's toolkits - Linux has been pwned just as thoroughly as Windows ever was, despite being "open" and "free". The difference is, you put your trust in software the you don't pay for that virtually anyone can tamper with, and in at least one case that I know of from the good old newsgroup flamewar days, has tampered with intentionally to cause problems (and the bugs intentionally introduced by this person resulted directly in Heartbleed and a few others that have been popping up years later).
Also to remind you, that you are putting your trust in software that is overwhelmingly being maintained by people on the corporate dole, no matter how free and open it claims to be, and people on the corporate dole invariably have ulterior motives.
At this point in Google's corporate life cycle, I don't think the exceptionally talented people are even giving them a second glance when it comes to what jobs they apply for.
In my household, it depends on what you count as being a Linux distro. If you throw in Android with that lot, then I have 3 phones, 3 tablets, a laptop, an HTPC, a cable modem and two routers all running some form of Linux. The modem runs a very customized version of RHEL, the routers custom Debian, the HTPC Linux Mint when I want to play around with using my 55" tv as a monitor, otherwise it is running PLEX. Laptop is Mint, phones and tablets are Android. Not sure exactly what OS powers a Roku, I'd imagine some sort of BSD or Linux kernel is involved, so might as well toss that into the mix.
The two desktops I have run Win10 (one Home, one Pro), and there is an iPad Mini 2 floating about that my wife uses for watching Netflix, playing around on Facebook, and playing Clash of Clans.
You'll end up spending an eternity looking for the right settings in some obscure backwater part of them both, and hope you don't screw something up because TFM is more sparse than the Gobi Desert, is what.

Tell that to IBM and Hugo Boss (among many others), who made fortunes on the originals.

Mozilla has a problem with losing employees with any sort of technical merit and what we are left with is a bunch of window-dressers.
