Although Microsoft have publicly documented that you can't turn off the surveillance, the buttons in the OS which seem to turn it off is very misleading. Hence they are, in effect, hiding it.
Telemetry is fine. Forced telemetry is fine - for the free version (hey, you got it for free). Here's the problem I have with it: The paid version of Windows 10 will still have (I strongly imagine) this forced telemetry and all the other crap, like adverts and subscription Solitaire. That's unacceptable.
but a simple LAN card swap (to play nice with a hackintosh install) triggered the whole authentication process with piracy accusations
Assuming you had a free slot, you could have simply added the new LAN card and not used (and/or disabled) the old one. I have a system with a 10Mbit NIC on the motherboard and added a 1Gbit card w/o any authentication issues. I have still used the original NIC to configure my WiFi AP as it came with a default IP on a different subnet.
My Apple//e had a 90-day warranty. Ninety days. It has worked flawlessly for 30 years. I bet you won't be able to say the same thing about your modern electronics.
I was born w/o any warranty and am still here 53 years later. Everything still works pretty well too. Lucky enough that the case hasn't ever had to be opened.
Kyle is kidnapped after agreeing to an iTunes user agreement, and forced to become part of a "revolutionary new product" that is about to be launched by Apple.
Make a straightforward procedure for people to customize the vehicle's morals.
Okay. Anyone with a goatee dies first. Child molesters and people that talk in the theater are next in line (in homage to Shepherd Book). I'm flexible after that, but the list *will* include people on cell phones who don't pay attention to their surroundings and people who take more than 5s to make a drink order at Starbucks. Any other suggestions?
I've found that many of the recent "blockbuster" action movies (and not so recent, like Matrix {2,3}) are filled with filler and skimming loses nothing. How many people got bored 1/3 into any of the major action sequences in these movies because they were repetitious and/or added nothing to the story?
Certainly there are parts of TV episodes, movies, and books that can easily be skipped w/o losing anything important, but other parts may (should) have more to them than just the words spoken and actions taken and (hopefully) those other attributes add to the meaning and experience. Those things are probably lost when skimming. The experience is more - should be more - than just the verbal information. Jeff Guo needs to cut back on the caffeine, work on his attention span and learn that "smelling the roses" is about more than just smelling roses.
I would prefer a plugin that removed bullshit to save time as opposed to just speeding up the bullshit.
You're so close. It's actually a plug. Follow that cable that goes from the TV to the power outlet on the wall. Remove plug from outlet. No more bullshit.
I'm not that impressed with the "if statement with initializer" addition and especially not impressed with one of their examples that use it to make things more compact. I don't like declaring the same variable twice and think more traditional coding would actually be cleaner.
status_code foo() {
int n = get_value();
if (status_code c = bar(n); c != status_code::SUCCESS) { return c; }
if (status_code c = do_more_stuff(); c != status_code::SUCCESS) { return c; }
return status_code::SUCCESS;
}
Constitution is changed all the time by a single elderly judge
I get your point, but their job is to interpreted the Constitution and that's not actually the same as changing it - contrary to what politicians and pundits would have you think, especially when a decision doesn't go their way. Congress is free to pass laws to deal with judicial interpretations (if they'd ever get off their asses and do some actual work) and the Constitution can *actually* be changed as per Article Five - but that also requires actual work by Congress and/or the States.
It's over millennials. Your parents know better than you and we're hoping you'll grow up and figure that out at some point.
I'm not sure where you're going with that. The demographics of the vote show clearly that millennials and under-50 voters were solidly in the "remain" camp.
Indeed. The NY Times has a few articles about this and an Op-Ed titled Brexit and Europe’s Angry Old Men mentioning a poll over there indicating the older the person, the more likely they were inclined to leave the EU:
Some 64 percent of the age group from 18 to 24 said they would vote for Remain; just 35 percent of those between 50 and 64 wanted to stay.
... forcing the machine to study 600 hours' worth of YouTube videos.
Uh... Does the machine have free-will to do something else, of its own choosing? Did Darth Vader use his powers to make it watch C-SPAN or some science-fiction shit like that. No? Then it's just a fucking machine (not to be confused with a fucking-machine) and there's no "forcing".
So being rude, homophobic and racist doesn't make someone dangerous. But I bet him declaring he hates Christians would have worked.
Should I ponder why?
I didn't mean to specifically exclude religious intolerance, just didn't think to specifically include it - I should have added ", etc..." Religious beliefs, especially those that are incorrect and/or incomplete with respect to what the religion itself actually purports, is probably one of the most dangerous things. On the other hand, many (most?) religions seem to be pretty intolerant of other religions and their followers - Christians included.
If that shooting proved anything, then that you don't even have to be the silent type for the whole surveillance to be moot. That guy has been interrogated multiple times and still was sent out on the street again.
You can't fix incompetence by giving the incompetent more leeway.
I don't know if I'd call it incompetence. Just because someone is a rude, homophobic, racist asshole with or w/o a gun doesn't mean he/she is necessarily actually dangerous. If those were the criteria to lock someone up, we'd probably have to lock up most of Congress (States and Federal) as well as a long list of other people.
A "law abiding citizen" is just that right up to moment he isn't. The first part of that should never be ignored by pro gun-control advocates, but the second part is seemingly always overlooked by pro gun-rights advocates. Striking the right balance is difficult, but many parties aren't even trying to do that.

While his application might have been abandoned, that doesn't negate it as prior art.
