There's no screen cover because the screen is the big end of a glass cathode-ray tube. And there definitely were not case fans. You seem to not have comprehended my argument, which was about consistently poor design choices, for which I provided three models spanning 30 years as examples.
What Microsoft does isn't relevant to any of that, but they have their own long-running problems as well, some of them similar to Apple's.
And some of those people have laptops that do it at half the cost, right out of the box. How does Daddy Cook's asshole taste? I hope he's at least paying you to shill, but I know with a lot of Apple guys it's more like a pimping arrangement where *they* pay Daddy.
The iMac I had had a small panel in the back for the end-user to perform upgrades. You could put exactly two things in it: a stick of RAM and an AirPort card (proprietary apple wireless network, for those too young to remember). I'm not sure if they went out of their way to lock you out of the rest of the hardware, like they do nowadays. But it was clear the end-user was never intended to mess with the hardware besides the slots in the expansion panel.
As a side-note, the disk in that iMac ended up having a head crash due to totally inadequate cooling. They thought it was ok to cram a bunch of hot hardware and a CRT into a tiny bubble with no case fans. They have a long history of overheating computers for aesthetic reasons, starting with the Apple 3 and continuing through to a couple years ago with the MacBook Air. Their design philosophy hasn't changed, so I expect this issue to keep popping up in the Apple product line perpetually.
They were doing the dongle thing back then as well. I had to buy a separate floppy drive, which in 1998 was essential. 2 years down the road it quit receiving OS updates... They called the omission of a removable media drive forward-thinking, yet the computer was planned into obsolescence before next-gen USB media were even a mature technology.
What list are you going by? The Universal Declaration of Human Rights contains language about things needed to sustain life, quoted elsewhere in this thread. The US Constitution contains similar language, and you don't even have to read past the preamble. You can also construct your own definition of human rights, but i haven't seen much of that in your post. It seems more like you have been backed into a corner where your fundamentalist, inflexible ideology forces you imply ridiculous shit like humans don't really need drinking water, just to avoid the cognitive dissonance.
The more shocking part is that there seems to have been little real-world testing of the phones, or the wifi issue would have been caught. Wherever they were using it probably had nice wifi. I think Apple's reputation for consistent quality might be declining.
It reminds me a bit of the voiceprint password they put in OS 9. It's something that looks really whiz-bang on the bullet point list of new features, helping to justify a $1000 upgrade. But it's not actually useful.
It was quicker and more reliable to just type in your password
What ended up happening to the voice password feature anyway? Is it still in Mac OS now? Did it even persist to the initial release of OS X? Did it ever make it to iOS at all?
My gut feeling is that once you don't have to worry about getting a craft airborne, you can budget a lot more weight to things like sturdiness and passenger comfort.
It's pretty old news at this point that the U.S. spies on its own citizens. Around 2013 with the Snowden revelations is when it was getting the most prominent coverage.
It doesn't seem like a stretch that cutting out the majority of carcinogens in the smoke leads to less cancer. And that eliminating the tar cuts the risk for obstructive lung diseases. If it doesn't, then our whole understanding of the health risks of tobacco are deeply flawed. That could be true, but as far as I'm concerned, the burden of proof is on the people who are claiming ecigs are *not* significantly less harmful than whole tobacco.
People aren't going to drink battery acid in lieu of water. Comparing nicotine vapor to cigarettes is 100% relevant. We *already have* millions of nicotine addicts and if there is a way to reduce the health risks by even a few percentage points, that needs to be investigated. Should have started decades ago, honestly.
I doubt any policy changes are coming from this one particular algorithm. The preponderance of evidence from hundreds of studies over many decades conducted by thousands of scientists - that is what should, and will, hold sway.
This becomes really damaging when you realize how much control of our culture has been given over to corporations through things like ever extending IP rights, broadcasting, etc. Then people wonder why the culture sucks and everything on the TV and the radio is bullshit. The implications of this are deeper and more profound than I can explain here.
Calling it a "Kremlin front" is pretty ridiculous. While they did probably get played by Russians... Assange is an asshole, but he is a principled asshole.
Probably cuts down on the number of support requests which I could see being expensive in a system like this. Most users would not take advantage of case anyway. And you, as a conscious user, can still make a secure password despite the limited character set.
Yeah let's just forget about the fact that those are non military psy ops, and that the man himself has made more military spending a core part of his budget plan.
How *do* you stay so informed? Is it Facebook or 4chan?
I don't care if they mitm my porn, music stream, or cat video. And if the ISP is acting maliciously you are fucked anyway. The right place to address that is in a courtroom or legislative body.

Even if the program isn't given direct access to change the speed and voltage, it can trigger those changes indirectly.

It's like you didn't even read the following three paragraphs.
It's more Michael Jackson if you ask me.
Great, carry around another dongle and 54 peripherals. Elegance!

Well, you have to set up a straw man before you can knock him down. It must be a lonely exercise.

Another decision to impede security in the name of convenience. People act like Microsoft only does this.

Who will he switch to, Wells Fargo?

Redundant sensors sounds more like hardware to me.
Have you seen the collisions our navy has gotten into lately? They would probably be more familiar with the xbox controller.
