We don't even need to do all of that. Change first past the post to a proportional percentage system and be done with it already. No need for any runoffs whatsoever unless it is a dead 50/50 tie.
The G2 and other models based on the G2 design had this issue (LG Power, LG Leon/Leon LTE), including the later revisions of the same design, the G3 and G4.
Nobody can figure out if it's bad digitizers, a bad LCD, or a bad mainboard.
Trump wasn't wrong though. Lewis's district IS a dump, and the man has been riding MLK's coat-tails for years thinking it makes him bullet-proof from criticism.
If you knew you were going to be transcoding, you should have went with an Intel CPU. AMDs offerings suck at it, and have sucked at it forever. They just suck at multi-threaded tasks in general, almost like they are missing something in their instruction set or in the CPU design itself that cripples the performance in a way not unlike the Intel P4 Netburst architecture.That being said, your CPU would beat the equivalent Intel CPU in quite a few single thread tasks, which even lower bin AMD CPUs tend to excel at.
I can already do that, and have been able to do that since the 1980's (although back then I spent much more time with a soldering iron to achieve this effect), which leads back to my original point. I can get wanting to make it an easier process via software, but it will never trump being able to block a rewrite/flash via a local hardware method and may unintentionally just open a few extra doors that you weren't expecting to be open (as is the case in any software based solution).
If it offers pairing with a read-only keyfob to verify encryption keys and file integrity of the ROMs at boot as a layer on top of the physical one, then it would indeed prove useful in the case of a workstation.
Then again, this software might be very useful for microsystems such as servers built using Raspberry Pis or roll-your-own routers that don't always inherently offer hardware jumpers to protect the flashable BIOS and other ROM areas.
One thing I have noticed though, is that some hardware makers have been moving towards implementing EFI/BIOS that the end-user has no control over whatsoever outside of changing some limited set of internal settings. It has signed updates pushed to it by them, and some of them have been following the examples of mobile chipset developers by including fuses that they blow to prevent tampering, meaning you are stuck with whatever version they put on the machine before blowing those fuses.
It should have happened over a decade ago. This company was a case study in stagnation and mismanagement. They had no real vision for ages, and it showed in everything from their product (non-offerings) to their janky back-end systems that could barely cope with basic email functionality.
Honestly, if I were in the market to buy, it would be to take the entire thing apart for scrap value to the highest bidder piecemeal.
The only patches I get are to GAPPs themselves (sometimes, currently several refuse to update, my guess is because they require at least Marshmallow or Nougat now) and Webview. I've had no other security patches period from either Google nor the vendor, and this device is on 5.0.1 running kernel build 3.10.49. Google Play hasn't even updated on my device since prior to the Stagefright and Heartbleed releases, let alone much of the underlying Android system.
I watched The Revenant on my brother's 4k set during a recent visit. I found the picture quality to be a very compelling reason to upgrade (basically, from my POV it looked like going from a SD CRT to an HD flatpanel all over again), and will do so shortly.
It doesn't do this automatically, but I am wondering if you could use app metadata and some clever Powershell scripting to accomplish this on Win 8.1 and Win10 much in the way one would tag and sort downloads of various files/archives/pictures, etc into appropriate folders
TBH this sort of thing should be submitted as a feature request not just for Windows, but pretty much every OS.
We've been able to write-protect the boot ROM for decades, as well as the BIOS. My motherboard for instance, has removable jumpers for both the programmable BIOS and a Linux-based boot ROM. I don't actually get the point of Coreboot nor Libreboot if that is a core part of their major functionality.
The problem is, is that we have no real hard definitions or lines drawn concerning that data or how it is collected per se. Sure, you have the 4th, but the 4th has been found to only narrowly cover certain instances of online and wireless communication out of a SCOTUS fear of a broad ruling by them curtailing actual legal situations where that data may be obtained.
Basically, we're still in the same boat we were in when this all started, and it's all shades of gray until either the current or future SCOTUS makes a firm ruling on if this data is the same as our letters and effects, or maybe that it is like a note passed through the hands of several classmates before reaching the intended recipient and may be intercepted by the teacher or read by one of the passers: we have no right to any expectation to privacy for or integrity of said data once it leaves our possession.
Every concert and sporting event I've attended in the last decade has required ID at the door if you have a ticket printed from an online purchase (some even required that you also had the same valid credit card that you used so they could compare the numbers in addition to your DL/Photo ID). It seems to me that they already implemented that part of a solution, now they just need to figure out the rest.
No, they very much do not want to be the next America. For a nation who views things in trends, and as all outside nations as tributaries to Beijing, America is about their polar opposite in many respects. China in all of its history has never had to deal with a nation on the scale and scope of the USA politically, financially, or militarily and this has led to some difficulties as they see themselves as the rising power to meet the great power that already is.
If your device is rooted, just install AdAway + something like NoRoot Firewall. Block ads, decide which apps can connect to either the data or wifi (with bonus pre and post filtering options you can apply that are based on IP as well).
The suspect in custody is an actor, and has an IMDB page.
The traffic camera(s) that covers the street and intersection where this incident happened were removed/moved one day before the incident.
Almost every article covering this story appeared online hours before the event ever took place. The Washington Post reported that the incident happened around 3pm on December 4th. How is it then that everyone from Anandtech to Above Top Secret on to Democratic Underground and The Gateway Pundit had their article times listed in Google as being posted up to 20 hrs before The Washington Post article on the same day this event took place?
A 4chan user from the UK made a post claiming an incident such as this was going to be reported as happening in a post dated November 30th.
Sounds like they need smacked upside of the head, er, I mean shown a better way and getting them hooked into using it.
Unfortunately from what I've observed of the younger IT staff at my regular employer, you'll probably have to come up with some trophy-based ego boosting reward as a means to get them to do so.
The only benefits so far you've proven yourselves useful for, is causing widespread internet outages, trivial access into supposedly secure networks, businesses, and homes for criminals, and padding the bank accounts of shady third party advertising companies who harvest user data.
Blame that nonsense on the old science and technology propaganda from the 1950's/60's/70's and even into the 80's. They promised everything from flying cars to controlling absolutely everything in your home at the touch of a button. These ideas have ingrained themselves into the proceeding generations, and the result is utterly useless shit like Phillips Hue, Nest, and this nonsense.
Because so many of those wealthy and powerful saw fit to openly mock and ridicule him even before he decided to make a run for POTUS (Example: When he was invited to the White House Correspondents Dinner and then everyone had a good laugh as Obama openly made jokes at Trump's expense).
History is filled with tales of the "wealthy elites" taking their revenge on their peers who insulted them.
One forgets that it would also make it perfectly legal for a company like Phillip-Morris to sue any of the signatory nations into oblivion if they ban or otherwise obstruct the sale of their tobacco products and the related advertising that goes with them.
Went to a Rob Zombie show rather recently. He was not happy with the sea of phones and asked several times for people to put them away before finally just saying, "You know guys, you all ask why it seems rock seems like it is dead. It's because of stuff like this. I'm a rocker, not a tv guy. I don't know what to do when all I see staring me in the face is a bunch of cameras. I can't do anything with that." Thankfully people finally got the damned hint and he went on with the show instead of leaving (and yes, it was fscking great - he even went through an entire White Zombie album on top of his solo stuff).

I don't know anyone who still uses eBay for anything over choosing Amazon for buying and selling already.

Outside of the type of RAM used, a PS4 and Xbox are identical as far as APU family, which is arguably the most important part.

Anything that is certified for use as a nuclear control device generally has no outside network connection access, patching is optional.

Dear Group of Sensors,
The only benefits so far you've proven yourselves useful for, is causing widespread internet outages, trivial access into supposedly secure networks, businesses, and homes for criminals, and padding the bank accounts of shady third party advertising companies who harvest user data.
Sincerely,
