are lacking in critical thinking skills, formal (relevant) education
Unless you want a career in academia, "formal" education matters only for the first job after college. A good resume and decent real life achievements are much stronger credentials than a document that a school sold you for a small fortune.
then how is it relevant to the story? You can't play both the "she's a poor victim" and "we're covering our asses in case she's not really a victim" cards.
All they achieved with this format is to fluff the story without giving it substance.
I always do my best to humor aspies because they are entitled to discussions too, but you personally are really just adding noise whenever a discussion involves Apple incompetence. Don't think this pattern goes unnoticed, fanboi.
I was trying to be clever and make fun of the nonchalance of immensely rich corporations but I apparently failed. Obviously even without getting into the whole EMI thing they should have simply tested their products properly but it seems nowadays quality is optional.
Ok I don't know what's your deal or why you're nibbling on that useless point but here's what they say:
In emails to 9to5Mac, LG acknowledged the problem — which LG says isn’t an issue for any of its other monitors — noting that routers “may affect the performance of the monitor” and that users should “have the router placed at least two meters away from the monitor” to avoid issues.
Now the use of double quotes and the fact that they cite an email from LG is enough to put an end to this argument, unless you're really just trolling.
Are you talking about QA? This is crazy expensive. To find this bug they would have had to setup a test environment similar to what end users would have; the price tag for that would have been a one-time expense of a thousand dollars, plus labor. There's just no way either LG or Apple could afford that.
users should "have the router placed at least two meters away from the monitor" to avoid issues
This reminds me of the uuencode bug in Outlook that made the body of the email invisible if the message started with "begin ". The solution on Microsoft's website back then was to use "start" or "commence" instead of "begin" when writing an email.
Good news: Doesn't really matter how much they hate you, they hate each other more.
That's always how it works. People may dislike those who are completely different, but they truly hate those who are almost the same.
See, guess the religion: - only one God, not trinity - based on the words of a prophet, not the Son of God - males are circumcised - recognize the scriptures (old testament) - some foods are prohibited, and a ritual is required to make any food acceptable - there is no official representatives of God on earth, the priests are mostly learned individuals recognized in their communities with some academic background - fasting is a thing
You know the fun part, it's that it's the incompetence of US foreign policy makers that made the rise of ISIL possible.
First they supported the Sunni in Afghanistan in their war against the Soviets, helping Al-Qaeda gain traction in the process. They also supported Saddam Hussein and the Sunni minority in Iraq.
Then of course Iran became the real enemy and Washington figured that after getting rid of Saddam Hussein it would be a good idea to remove the Sunni minority from power in Iraq and let the Shia majority take over. Which was not such a good idea, especially with the Sunni majority in Syria already suffering under the brutal dictatorship of a Shia minority. So before anyone could do a thing about it, a large chunk of Iraq and Syria is a bloodbath opposing Sunnis (al-Qaeda, aka ISIL or al-nusra) and Shia (including Hezbollah), with various foreign powers involved in a complex game of thrones.
So what now? What should be the US foreign policy? Fight ISIL and Al-Qaeda while implicitly siding with Iran, the Syrian dictator and the Hezbollah - which would irritate Israel? Or support the Sunni majority in Syria against the Shia dictator, and anger Russia in the process?
That's why Trump was a better option than Clinton. The only sane thing to do at this point is pull out and stop meddling into other countries affairs. There's no fixing it - just gtfo and focus on rebuilding roads for a while.
it doesn't really bother me. I use the built-in MFA in Office 365 and it's decent enough, but for like an extra $2 per month I could use the premium MFA available on Azure, it includes stuff like IP whitelisting. I looked into it but didn't decide yet if it's worth the hassle. Anyways I rotate admin addresses and passwords a lot.
For quite a while I was running my own setup. First on my own machines with a commercial ISP, then colocated, then on AWS, then on a bunch of cheap VPS all over US and Europe doing my own load-balancing and HA. I've tried security and antispam appliances, antispam cloud services, etc. But it was time-consuming, with all the work involved: monitoring, backup (data and config), patching, and all that. And whenever I looked at the logs it just freaked me out to see all those scanners and robots from China and eastern Europe trying to take control of my servers, I always ended up spending countless hours micromanaging firewall rules and ids/ips rules.
Now I buy my domains from AWS (privacy is included, which matters when you have a lot of domains), I host the bulk of my email and DNS on Office365 and some on Google For Business, and I typically use Sendgrid to send "official" emails (newsletters, invoices, password resets, etc). They can deal with Chinese hackers and manage blacklists and keep an eye on SSL exploits, I have other things to do.
It's not just a federal Big Brother thing (which apparently just gets worse whoever is in charge). The entire society is like that. Twitter mobs, SJW, the rape culture thing. Your verdict is decided by the number of Likes and Retweets and your sentence is a lifetime of internet shaming.
Their anti-spam is decent and they let you host as many domains as you want on their DNS service (google for business limits you to 20 or so) and as many email aliases as you want in the same inbox. I have yet to find a more cost-effective way to deal with a large number of domains and email addresses.
Maybe my situation is unusual because I have tons of domains but to me it's totally worth it to pay a few dollars per month for email and DNS hosting, I don't want to deal with maintenance and support myself.
Their web office suite sucks though, including outlook.
As if I needed more reason not to share my personal life with the world (and TSA)
CNN was reporting that refusal to provide your social media details could be considered grounds for refusal to admit the person into the country.
I imagine that not having "social media accounts" would be seen as equivalent to refusal to provide them by the G-drone doing the verifying. It probably would not occur to most people in this day and age that there may be people without accounts on Facebook or Twitter.
But this only applies to people from those seven "evil" countries. It's institutionalized profiling, nothing more.
Microsoft has the 3rd biggest market cap. Bigger than AT&T and Bank of America combined. Bigger than Wal-Mart, Coke and MasterCard combined.
You can come here and piss on them all you want and pretend that you understand the industry better than them if that makes you feel less pathetic, but the fact remains that it's an immensely successful company that has been successful for more than 30 years and is more likely than Apple or Google to still be successful 30 years from now.
The fact is that Apple and Google are the tech behemoths as the second decade of the 21st century closes, and Microsoft is basically riding on its Office/Backoffice strategy, with its OS dominance slipping badly as people do more and more computing outside the PC domain.
It's ok to be a snob and look down on Microsoft but at least inject some common sense in your bashing. Neither Apple nor Google are benefiting from that "computing outside the PC domain". And chances are that when you run an Android app the backend is on Azure or AWS.
Microsoft is a lot more future-oriented than Apple or Google at the moment.
From a revenue standpoint, telemetry was not what hurt Windows 10: it was more the shift from the sale of OS licenses to the Google model of data mining
Microsoft is making shit-tons of money; Windows alone brings them 11 billions per quarter. They make 7 billions per quarter with the cloud. Of course everyone has their theory as to what they should have done with this or that, but until we get access to parallel universes to compare business decisions I'd say they're on top of things.
Meanwhile Google is losing steam real fast, the search money is drying up, that's why they bought part of twitter: so they can ramp-up their cloud offering, which currently sucks.
There is no fragmentation problem. If you want a retarded proprietary o/s, there's Windows. If you want a retarded proprietary o/s that only runs on overpriced, antiquated, non-upgradeable hardware, there's Apple. If you want to choose components and get things just the way you want them, there's Linux.

In 2008, Brookins was in the midst of a family struggle, having left a husband she called "violent and abusive."
So not only the fact that she's a woman matters in this story, it's also important to throw some suspicion on her story of domestic violence.

which some people call routers
you mean like the people from LG who acknowledged the problem and made this suggestion?
I pretty much just became the first person in history to use it about somebody where it DID actually apply.
Spoken like a true snowflake!

Don't ruin the snowflake thing by using it when it doesn't apply

Yeah - it's great - all you have to do is write all the software you need.
Okay so what you're implying is that there's more software available for a Mac than Linux?
the iMac (a laptop in a monitor)
*chuckles*

Oh, but according to Donald Trump, the ACA was bankrupting them, that's why they need relief from the oppression of burdensome regulations.
you mean "President Trump"*.
