Just reading the headline, I was thinking if N. Koreans can bypass your security, you're a piece of red meat in the jungle filled with hungry amateur hackers.
I too have solar on my rooftop, but under a PPA. I've spoken to people who've outright purchased solar, and virtually to a person, they say their electrical bills dropped to zero and they even made money selling electricity back to their utility. Either they're all shilling for the solar providers or there's some truth to that.
While solar panels may be dirty to create, they have a 25-, 30- or more year lifespan and the technology continues to get more efficient each year.
I have a hard time believing solar isn't going to dominate at least a large portion of our energy production in the coming decades.
I'm assuming you purchased a rather cheap wireless charger. Good ones don't have the problems you listed and they're pretty generous with the charging area because they use more than one copper charging coil, sometimes overlapped, to provide a greater charging area. Additionally, the better ones I've tested charge just as fast as corded chargers.
Support Duckduckgo.com. I've been using it for years and have seen the amount of spam in my inbox and even social media go WAY down. We need more services like Duckduckgo.com, not fewer.
But, perhaps the inevitable attack on them is showing some success. I'm hopeful.
Again with "anonymous coward" comments. If you believe what you're saying, stand by it with your profile.
Romney never made any reference to communism, only to Russia being a geopolitical threat, which it obviously was and is. Since then, you have the Russian annexation of Crimea during the Obama Administration, Russia's attempt to influence the 2016 presidential election and its involvement in the Syrian conflict in support of Bashar al-Assad's government.
Are you going to argue Romney wasn't right?
BTW, I voted for Obama and didn't vote for Trump, but I know it's hard for people wearing team jerseys to understand free, open-minded thought.
Seriously, dude. You need to remove the tinfoil hat. Not everything is a conspiracy. I was pointing out Obama was wrong and Romney had better foresight. Russia was and is still a huge geopolitical threat.
“Gov. Romney, I’m glad you recognize al-Qaeda is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what is the biggest geopolitical group facing America, you said Russia — not al-Qaeda. And the 1980’s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back — because the Cold War has been over for 20 years."
While you may feel like a boss by not giving a notice to your former employer, there's a strong possibility it will come back to bite you in the arse when it's time for references.
"One major breach of a Navy contractor, reported in June, involved the theft of secret plans to build a supersonic anti-ship missile planned for use by American submarines, according to officials."
When contractors are held criminally responsible for their poor security resulting in military secrets being stolen by our enemies, then maybe they'll get serious about plugging the holes.
The American auto industry is barely moving forward on EVs -- not that they're the be all to end all, but c'mon. The tech has been around longer than gas-powered vehicles and yet, even with modern lithium-ion batteries, car companies don't offer more than two models each -- most only offer one.
It's going to take regulation to force their hand; that seems obvious. With the current administration kowtowing to big business, though, we won't be seeing any movement on this for at least another two years.
You're not special. They lost more records than there are people in the U.S., Canada and Mexico combined. This wasn't a data breach, it was a data dump.
We need laws the punish these... ahem, irresponsible companies.
This isn't a technology that's going to explode overnight as so many pontificating pundits have claimed, but long-run (10-, 15-, 20-years from now), it will be at the heart of a business transactional transformation; Until then, there are still a myriad of issues to solve yet, not the least of which is throughput. and scalability.
It feels like I'm alone in my opinion that Siri is a terrible voice-activated, virtual assistant technology. More often than not, Siri can't get simple commands right, often due to the iPhone's poor natural-language user interface. I don't think I've ever had a dictated message turn out correctly using Siri and any of my iPhones (generation 5-8). I'm actually a bit jealous when I see how easy my friend's Android phone understands voice commands and natural language dictation. Google's natural language processing, works nearly flawlessly.
I'm just throwing this out there because I'm wondering if anyone else thinks, for lack of a better criticism, Siri simply sucks.

You pay Verizon $225 a month, you get access.

Trump isn't a Russian operative either.
And, stop being so angry./p

Oh, no. I read that wrong. It's 100 million years. I guess I don't have to hurry up to get my space passport renewed after all.
Good luck winning that case. No jury would award you a dime after you stole a package and it blew up on you.

Would passengers have access to their own missile launchers? I'd pay extra.

Congratulations! As my physician told me years ago before I quit, you'll never do anything better for your health than quitting smoking.
What year is this? I feel like I just traveled back to the 1970s.
Kids are really paying $10+ a pack to get lung cancer?
I just figured tobacco dropped off a cliff over the past few decades.

In a sense using a scrolling model kinda reverts us to something modern books replaced around 2,000 years ago.
Solomon was right: History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new.

I'm paraphrasing, of course.
