Last time I tried to send a pic taken from my mom's phone to mine via bluetooth, it required downloading an appity app from the appstore.Which required a password which scared her from doing it. I never did get the pic.
Back in my day--when we walked to school uphill in both directions, and LIKED it--there was this thing... I think we called it "email"...
I've heard thar we're not actually supposed to read the fine summary, but I did so anyway, and couldn't help thinking that a better title would be, "USB C Power Meter Helps You Spot Counterfeit Accessories While They Fry Your Device". But maybe that's just me.
Interesting contrast with Sweden, which may not be corrupt, but let your Swedish be anything less than perfect, and you'll be treated as an outsider, no matter how long you've lived there (10 years in my case); in China, I find that my admittedly pretty horrible Mandarin is nearly always responded to with smiles and even encouragement. Make of this what you will.
Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous Year of the Rooster from Guangzhou!
In the same way that Charlie Daniels went from "Uneasy Rider" and playing bass for Bob Dylan to writing songs about hanging drug dealers. Some people just turn old and mean, I guess.
The Secretary of State, not being in the chain of command, doesn't have anything to do with approving or disapproving military action. Nice try, though.
Not to mention Trump's "pay their fair share" rhetoric that makes it pretty clear that he's more than willing to throw NATO/EU partners under the bus for a few bucks, which is exactly why Putin is so absolutely delighted to make nicey-nicey with him.

+1, Underrated also works.
That's still greater than zero.
My standard reply in such cases is, "What did my current and/or previous employers tell you?"
Google and Facebook both seem to think that it matters.
Trying to make a little spat between yourself and reality into someone else's problem not working out for you? Cry me a river.
We don't build factories and plants to keep people busy...
But there's now a U.S. President who's promised to do exactly that, hello?
Seven whoooooooshes in one post (and counting). I salute you, O Mega-Simian.

Ahhh... Everything that's wrong with the UX religion in one post. Thanks!
But 90%+ on the niceness scale.

...even the word corrupt becomes so corrupted that it has no meaning.
This worked quite well in favour of one of the candidates in the US elections not long ago, didn't it.
Perhaps you should seek help for that apparent lack of a sarcasm detector.

I just love how you keep confusing Slashdot with Breitbart.
No, I don't, really. KGFY.
Just like all those windmills in the Øresund have brought all shipping into and out of the Baltic to a screeching halt, right?
And all the nukes and other threats magickally went away. Got it.
You might want to check out the proportion of humans who live close to coastlines before making yourself look more foolish than you already have.
For many of those areas, we're talking salt water. Good luck drinking that, or using it to water your crops.
The military are trained to obey any lawful order, period. So you can stop kidding yourself now.

You're off by some orders of magnitude: It just advanced by 20%.
Folks could benefit from recalling what Anwar Sadat had to say about trusting Russia vs trusting China some years ago. Still largely true today.
[*Spoiler alert* Sadat trusted the Chinese a lot more.]

... and China's ICBMs probably couldn't make it over the ocean.
They've put numerous satellites--and people--in orbit, so no way they could take out Denver or Des Moines, much less DC. *eyeroll*
