It also says 'We suspect it is also a case of Apple fans wanting to test out all the shiny new features right off the bat.' and then the reporting on this reporting just ignores that and says the update is causing "massive battery drain problems".
I want to know where they got the data. Do they have a lot of data? A little? What app are they using to monitor users' battery usage? I presume they are using some app of their own as a form of spy?
They are already required to try to hire Americans first.
Of course, this is the guy who already takes credit for automotive plant hirings which were agreed upon between the UAW and the auto makers in 2015. So why would it be surprised to hear of another do-nothing announcement?
Yes, I don't like that Apple is part of censorship like this.
But it is the law. It isn't upon request, it is surely under threat of action. I know everyone would like to indicate how they'd stand up to China but if Apple weren't to take this down then China would just kill the entire app store in China and then the app still would be down.
It is frustrating that Apple has no way to convince China to knock this off.
The point of the lock is to make the device less valuable for resale. And this, because it doesn't remove the lock, doesn't invalidate that.
The device simply flashes the main screen for a moment and then goes right back to the activation required screen.
Kudos to the guy for finding this. But he didn't bypass the system, the device is still unactivated and from what we see here can't even be used for anything. It certainly can't be resold for anything other than parts.
He won't be saving these jobs. He might save American jobs, he won't be saving these. I understand those in Michigan and Ohio who are upset about losing jobs, but voting for Trump isn't going to save them. Unless they want to move to South Carolina, they might be able to follow their jobs as they move there.
GM would be moving low-profit cars to Mexico, not Cadillacs.
And Trump won't be saving these jobs. Car companies will not be keeping production in Michigan and Ohio, they'll move to Southern states where there is no UAW. Even if Trump keeps them from crossing the Southern border he isn't going to force them to stick with unions.
They make changes to make it impossible to turn over your data. But that will never be the case for some kinds of data, like when you last accessed your account, etc.
Even when it works its awful. The 2nd row is short on room. The 3rd row is tiny. And you cannot fold the 2nd row seats so even if you fold the 3rd row down you can't fit a bike in it.
Here is a video showing how much more hauling space there is in a small LEAF than in a Model X.
I don't mean if you believed the drill guy, I mean if you believe this story about other people believing him is real.
People like to tell a good story, to be seen on youtube, etc. Even if you think everyone is dumber than you you have to be a bit smarter than to fall for this.
People are idiots. Some want attention. Some want ad revenue. Some just are bored or something. This kind of thing always happens. It surely happens to Samsung's competitors too. It definitely happened to Toyota during the Prius acceleration scare (and surely Audi too so long ago).
You shouldn't take all reports as gospel. This shouldn't make you think, you should always be thinking.
In the end what really matters is whether Note 7s were experiencing battery fires at a higher rate than normal. And the answer still appears to be yes, clearly yes. So Samsung did the right thing with the recall.
This attack is still done on device. It just clones the NAND back to "0 strikes" after each 6 attempts.
This attack doesn't extract the memory and doesn't decode externally. It just copies NANDs.
Why is this significant? Because it means you can't do extraction in parallel, you still have to go through all the codes sequentially on the device.
It defeats the significant portions of the backoff. It defeats the erase after n failures. It's a very significant attack.
But no one said this type of attack was impossible. I personally read about variants on this attack while the controversy was going on. I even posited it myself. I believe Apple even addressed it claiming that this attack wasn't possible on later iPhones due to a change in how the failure count is stored.
Why does Netflix have a limit of concurrent streams and they charge more for more streams? If Netflix is serious about having various levels of service at different prices is unacceptable Netflix should lead the way by going to a single fixed price for all customers.
4K or not, any number of concurrent streams, etc. It all could be the same price.
The reason why it isn't is the same reason ISPs don't charge everyone the same price. You can make more money by offering differentiated services at different prices.
This happens over and over at companies who incentivize their customer service people to push services and accounts. If you ever go to Wells Fargo they always try to shift you into a new kind of account or something. And so I'm sure if not enough people walk in they just resort to making up fake people or changing account signups for people who didn't even show up.
Creating this kind of structure is bad business and leads to dumb things like this.. Companies shouldn't be so stupid as to make this mistake over and over.
They don't get rich by sharing their returns with non-investors.
He likely has either been diluted or owns a class of shares which will be diluted.
They didn't give out those shares because they actually wanted to make someone rich, but as a promotional effort. Once the promotion was accomplished they immediately had plenty of reason to begin cutting the guy out of the deal.
It's weird that the original (fusion) article switches between saying they are options and they are shares.

One problem, no one has an iPhone X yet.

If you're going to list Pittsburgh as a city for tech workers, you might as well list Detroit too. And it's very cheap.
And yes, Quicken Loans has quite a few tech workers there.

That would cover Brexit and Trump winning the US election.
You could say the "working white male" if you want to try to avoid some hot wires.
Not by an online poll at the very least.
This is a reader poll. It's a different thing and like any other internet poll it means very little.
It's your own. It's not what I said at all.

What did you think they did?
They make changes to make it impossible to turn over your data. But that will never be the case for some kinds of data, like when you last accessed your account, etc.
Use the cloud or WiFi to your computer. That's how phones work now. It's crazy. Try it, you might like it.
You only need to connect your phone to your Mac to use iTunes. And who here is going to stand up for how much they want to use iTunes?
Even when it works its awful. The 2nd row is short on room. The 3rd row is tiny. And you cannot fold the 2nd row seats so even if you fold the 3rd row down you can't fit a bike in it.

And you can't even put stuff on the roof of the Model X due to the stupid doors.
Get an AWD Model S. Skip the stupid Model X.
Anyone who has used it knows. You can tell this is a very long exposure picture by the city glow in the background.
It's bunk.
Nissan painted a LEAF (car) in it recently and also used the same trick of long exposures to make it look like it wasn't just a dim, laughable glow.

Charging people money to get their money they earned?
This isn't an innovation, it's just a new style of advance loan, like ripoff payday loans and tax refund loans.

Which will obviously give me an advantage over everyone else because they sure won't do so.
Did someone pay researchers to determine that calling operators takes up operators' time?

Come on. It's an easy photoshop and there's no backup info to indicate he ever saw it.
Have you not been on the internet before? Get wise.
And who measures it?
Does this mean I just forgot my password?

No, probably not correctly.
