I like Google, but I think they've lost the ability to execute. I find their products are increasingly half-baked (e.g. podcasts in Google Music) and getting flakier over time (e.g. Chromecast).
Consider how many years old their successful products are at this point.
Sounds like the software you used wasn't very good, a simple heuristic around the typical length of a commercial and that commercials are typically shorter than the show should sort it. MythTV had this 10-years ago when I used it, and iirc it worked on black frames between ads - if the station didn't use them it wouldn't detect commercials but it generally worked fine.
It wasn't meant be entirely serious, I think the bigger issue is that Comcast & al could do it to the FCC commissioner overturning the decision. I feel like there is probably a law against it, though it might not be a 'threat' or blackmail if the company didn't say anything ahead of time and didn't tie reversing it to policy changes.
Companies can choose not to do business with someone, what if Google, Netflix, etc. all terminated his services. Attempts to get around it could be prosecuted under the computer fraud and abuse act;)
This is actually the reverse of what a lot of companies do - politicians and other officials are often (even if they aren't aware) have their accounts filtered out of normal channels and preferentially treated with kid gloves.
Wonder how they consider the emails fake? A lot of political activism often involves form letters so its hardly surprising that they recieved a lot of duplicates.
The problem is that quacks convince people they're a legitimate and better optional that real professionals. Heck, there are a number of clinics today providing stem cell treatments that have not been shown to be effective. This is only going to get worse and health agencies around the world should crack down hard on people offering these treatments.
Would you allow someone without a medical license to operate on you? I think the biohacker morons are likely the ones to face charges in this scenario, not the person injecting themselves.
Going out on a limb here.... while Intel claims the problems affect the 6th, 7th, and 8th gen processors, I bet they probably didn't bother testing or auditing earlier systems. Hasn't ME been around much longer than that?
Really, this ought to be factory disabled by OEMs and only shipped enabled to large corporate customers.
Market cap and market are two different things, market cap is the value of all outstanding shares, a market of $X needs to turn over $X a year. Further, since bitcoin is supposedly a currency market cap is not the correct term either,
I'm not sure you understand the scenario. These are third-party cookies that the browser would receive via headers when the tracking network was included on another site The tracking networks cookie would only appear on the headers to that network and could not be read by other sites.
Basically the tracking network would set a cookie header on the HTTP request for a JS coming from their server, then when the user visits some other page which also includes the tracking network the original cookie would be sent back to the tracking network connecting the user across the two sites.
I presume with FPI firefox treats the third party cookie given on site-A and the third party cookie given on site-B as distinct and will only send them in the context of those particular sites which prevents the tracker from linking the user.
Not a bad point, that would indicate that the manufacturer is cheap or can't be bothered. In the car manufacturing world the government had to (and has to) step in and force them to do recalls to fix issues.
The sorry shape of Android updates is entirely Google's fault.
There is this thing called leverage that Apple had/has with the iphone. If Samsung tried to force something on carriers, they'd tell Samsung to fuck off and just by LG or [insert manufacturer here] devices instead.
Its not against their policy - but they don't have to write and maintain it if they don't want to. Welcome to open source, if you don't like it feel free to maintain your own fork of Firefox.
Performance is not a valid argument against patching security bugs, because security (and correctness in general) are a lot more important than performance.
My point was actually that they can't be bothered to do it properly even when they do it.

They're just shaping traffic...

Agreeing is hardly "adding nothing"

I'd turn off and never use...

Going to call bullshit... a 230 billion dollar market is one that has that value in a single year.
It could break logins for some site, e.g. Google
All but Safari which turned it off a few years ago iirc. There have been some legitimate uses like Google's login services.

Until an XUL compatibility layer is developed Firefox Quantum is useless, forcing some tiny minority of users to whine about it and use ESR or forks.
Fixed it for you.
I only buy Google devices, but we're talking about the market at large here.
