As a content provider my self (photographer), it's disheartening to see my work pop up on social media in numbers without end and I only get compensation from the tiny Internet real estate that I initially did business with.
What value would you put on a "wow, that's neat" *clicks share button* repost of one of your photos on instafacetwit? And how many of those reposters do you expect to pay it?
But then the inevitable patent infringements would be exposed, and the west would have actual legal reasons to ban Huawei gear instead of all this vague talk about "security risks".
...the cops have already been there and all the booze is gone.
So we have a handful of traditional, regulated banks trading tokens pegged to real currencies that are already traded around the world... on a blockchain!. Does that need to exist? Of course not! But it does, because in late 2017 Bitcoin was headed for $20k and one of IBM's many consultants told them that coinz were going to be the next totally tubular gotta-have-it thing.
That would have been an entirely new machine, the limitation that a character can never encrypt to itself is inherent in Enigma's "out and back" path through the rotors and plugboard.
Client-side filtering sucked in 1995 (and it's not much better now). USENET became an exercise in shouting at each other across a vast swamp of scams and penis pill ads, and everyone moved on to web forums where there was an admin with the power to ban spammers.
Libertarian utopias are all ultimately doomed by the real world being full of assholes.
Yes, it's definitely because an entire generation of coders all dropped the ball.
Not because making PGP transparent to end-users who don't know or care about the "web of trust" or the difference between public and private keys is an intractable problem.
Turns out that if you want to get your venti half-caff low-fat caramel vanilla latte every morning, you're going to have to put up with people who live on coffee shop wages living in the same area code. Who knew?
You won't know the drive is running out of good cells until it's too late. One night everything is fine, the next morning you turn on the machine and "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block"
Only a backup on a separate device can save you from SSD failures.
1: They make a new version of a product. 2: They price that new product higher than the one from last year. 3: Enough people buy the new one at the higher price that they make a profit. THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT!!!
Questions that doctors had routinely skipped now stopped them short, with "field required" alerts. A simple request might now involve filling out a detailed form that took away precious minutes of time with patients.
Imagine that, a DOCTOR being required to take time to follow the rules like an ordinary plebeian. I'm surprised the cardiologists didn't all drop dead of simultaneous heart attacks.
Or - and it just occured to me - is it some kind of monetization experiment all of these sites are pushing through?
In a word... yes. Just look at what is actually different between old reddit and new reddit. The old design had one ad per page, and it was always at the top where it was easy to ignore. The new design has 2-5 inline ads per page that look more like user-submitted links.
...but after about 2 weeks of dealing with the limitations of vanilla ChromeOS, and then another 2 weeks working around the limitations of ChromeOS + crouton, I wanted a real OS again. So my advice is to pick a Chromebook with the biggest SSD and best hardware support in the mainline kernel you can, that way when living 100% in the cloud doesn't really work you can put a full GNU/Linux distro on it.
Me: *Tries to eject flash drive.* Windows: "Cannot eject drive as files are still being used." Me: *Closes Explorer window that was open to a folder on C and not any folder on the flash drive, and tries to eject again.* Windows: "Drive can be safely removed." Me: "WTF?"
Just another "feature" shamelessly plagiarized from Mac OS!
"...a video format that offers next to nothing to watch, that can't be streamed on most broadband connections or fit onto... discs and which can't even be properly appreciated unless you get a set too big to fit in many living rooms."
I'm pretty sure we said the exact same things about 4k and 1080p screens...
But there needs to be a standardised interface for installing platform keys in the UEFI settings.
There already is. If your board supports it, and if secure boot is in setup mode, then efi-updatevar can write UEFI secure boot keys. (Mine doesn't, I have to use the UEFI menu to replace keys.)
They're right, of course, microtransactions are ruining gaming.
But they're all going to play anyway and the launch week numbers will turn out fine, just like every other time gamers have looked like they were about to rebel against EA's anti-consumer bullshit.

As far as I know 48 hours is the default time period to allow for an email recipient to respond.
Will my inbox self destruct if I don't?
Nope, but if you don't register an opinion within ~48 hrs, you will forfeit your right to complain about decisions made in that thread.

Spam happened.

What security? It's stock Android, with all the Google tracking that implies.

There already is. If your board supports it, and if secure boot is in setup mode, then efi-updatevar can write UEFI secure boot keys. (Mine doesn't, I have to use the UEFI menu to replace keys.)
The process of enabling secure boot for self-signed kernels is not for the faint of heart but it can be done.
KeeFox was the last "old API" extension I was using, and they have a web extension version now.

He doesn't notice (or doesn't care) that we're posting on slashdot from the office instead of increasing shareholder value, though.
I don't think any of the current crop of editors/admins/owners were here for the Hellmouth article.
Should that be "21st post"?
(Don't worry about it, the three hardest problems in computing are the halting problem and off-by-one errors.)
Does anyone really still use emacs? (other than RMS)
Game consoles and blu-ray players. "Wanna play that new game/watch that new movie? Connect me to the internet so I can download a firmware update."
TVs are headed the same way, it's getting to be impossible to find "dumb" TVs with anything but the shittiest bargain-basement LCD panels in them.
