Yes. ONLY Israel supports a two-state solution. The Palestinian authorities support the destruction of Israel and extermination of Jews. The Arab world as well. And much of Europe.
Totally, but Minidisc did get a bad rap, claims that ATRAC was inferior to MP3 which is lie.
I love my MD player/recorder, it rand on batteries as well as the portable CD player I had, better than the cassettes I had.
SCMS was a problem. Since cassettes have none of that, let's see how that goes. But copy protection for cassettes was actually inherent. Each generational copy got worse and worse, so digital media actually CAUSED the DRM revolution... Sort of.
You can have your keystrokes monitored by a variety of methods, none of which require that your keyboard be wireless. Your fingerprint can be grabbed from a distance. Data from your PC can even be transmitted via audio to another and hopscotched to the one that is fully compromised and has access to its remote master.
Bluetooth is not the only vector. Hell, a Stingray is your real threat.
No, I want a smartphone that lets me SSH into my servers, gives me GPS and maps to drive with, enough storage I don't have to move my pictures every week to the cloud, flexible apps to do things with, supports my work email and workflow apps, and has a removable battery so I'm not on the 2 year/1000 charge cycle treadmill for a new phone due to battery life, when the CPU and screen are still more than enough for me to be satisfied with.
It would be nice to have a dialer that doesn't take 18 seconds to initiate a call, audio quality that at least meets old landline standards, and yeah, a music player that lets me use an equalizer.
Thanks for the advice, young grasshopper. You've already gone back to posting pics of your wasabi noodle bowl to your constellation of equally bored and impatient underemployed graduates, so I'll stop~~~~~~NOCARRIER
I'm just not convinced. No compelling new feature.
I wanted a removable battery, and that will be hard to find. If I cannot, then HTC is back on my plate.
The second display looks like their answer to the Galaxy Edge. Feh. It's up top, so I have to stretch a finger or thumb to touch it. Smart move there.
Multipoint audio? Yeah, I was dreaming of that. Actually, no.
Water resistance? Well, actually that is interesting. But I bet it doesn't save my phone from being laundered. A dip in the pool yes. Cold water cycle for 18 minutes?
I don't even think a 5.7" phone is a winner for me, my M8 is big enough.
Oh, and the M8 isn't easy to grip, kinda like an iPhone 7. SO the U will be more slippery? Case? Thin is gone. What, did I just lose a feature (thickness) to appearance? Oh, dear, I sound crotchety.
I may by a midrange phone to get buy and wait for foldable phones, which I really do want.
Yes, I would like to touch one of these before I buy a replacement. So I am frozen for ANOTHER month or so...
My HTC ONE M8 is dying, battery fatigue. And having never used any Android phone other than an HTC, I'm taking a small leap. A replaceable battery is a key feature, and the G6 probably won't have one, but this feature is hard to find.
Other than that, I'm hoping to leap to the latest CPU and more RAM, but then the Snapdragon 8305 seems to be the high water mark for a while.
It may not be clearly biased, but the majority of articles hew to a common theme.

I've been trying to read Medium for about a year or so. It's difficult. No, it's painful. Medium essentially plugs itself as a forum for writers who just want to write. Wow, that's revolutionary. And the result is a forum for navel-gazing, self-absorbed Millennials, the constantly offended, and whiners of every stripe - except conservative, alt--right, or middle of the road.
Every time I go to read there, or open my daily update, the first three or four articles make me want to delete my account. Some are merely infantile, some are juvenile, but many are exactly what the mainstream is enamored of; railing against outrage, calling out imagined racism/sexism/misogyny/*phobias. Or decrying their disadvantages, their injuries and failures due to forces aligned against them and all their colleagues, and of course the evil forces running the world.
It's pretty much not worth my time. And it appeals to a market I am unaware of the value offered. No wonder they are not generating revenue.
To be fair, the content isn't much different than a lot (a LOT) of ad supported sites.That's perhaps the problem. No value to me, and I may be a sliver of their target market. But it's awful on a regular basis. It can shrink until the dross is scraped off and content improves, no harm done.
With this description in mind, BTC seems to be more like gold than dollars.
Like gold, it seems to have an intrinsic value, in the eye of the beholder. And gold is assumed to be a finite resource, which we discover and deliver with variable effort and cost. BTC seems to have an increasingly higher cost to discover and deliver new BTC, though technology (as happens sometimes with gold) may make this relatively easier from time to time, possibly affecting perceived value.
Unlike gold, which has a broad, virtually universal appeal. BTC is less universally appealing, but still it is a perceived value.
And that would be the locally available service center. And a fee.
One of the big lies about modern electronics is that they are repairable. Sort of, often. TVs are particularly difficult, with the lack of data the biggest problem. And service data is too precious to be let out of the system, so we no longer can even hope to repair a modern TV ourselves. Even for this issue, a reset.
And there will be layers of back doors, scheduled to phone home every few days, weeks, months. Decoys set to call other state actors, your own agencies, many individuals, all to obfuscate the true destinations. Drive you crazy for years killing them off just to find you've been playing whack-a-mole while they are playing chess. You end up, sooner than later if you have your effort fully funded from day ONE, capturing and examining every single packet, to build a map of destinations and players.
And you suspend new hire provisioning, MAC activity, reimage every machine, force password resets after, deny external access until machines are tested, and forbid you've got staff at some conference or exposition, or overseas.
I just learned last month that if I were to travel overseas for work my machine would have to be scanned before I left to remove sensitive data, and on return it would be taken and a new one issued. I have a list of data I cannot save on it, with instruction to cooperate with authorities and even surrender it if requested.
..that should be airgapping critical systems. Passing correspondence through multiple filters. Moving data into these airgapped systems without any reverse channel, as in copy to a USB stick, put to airgapped host, extracted and scanned, USB stick destroyed and not reused.
I'm glad I don't do this security work any more. It's nearly impossible. I just work at one of the financial institutions the FDIC would monitor, and I can;t even mail my own W-2 to myself. They test me annoyingly often with phishing tests, block media, my VP gets hate mail when I violate some rule, I cannot even chat PII internally any more, have to send it via encrypted internal email. All to merely hope we do not end up on the front page of the fishwrap, finally violated.
I don't even talk to my friends in security, networking, or compliance anymore. We have nothing safe to talk about.
Two decades after the original artist's/etc demise would be fair. Perpetual copyright doesn't protect dead originators, and to make copyright perpetual changes it dramatically.
Maybe reconsider perpetual compensation? a perpetual right to prevent modification and ensure attribution, but to be paid forever? How do we reconcile this?
And the pages that incorporate some that plays in the background, interrupting the you were listening to, show no control panel, and have to be killed. This I see in my Android Chrome browser. Perhaps best part is I hear nothing from that gadget. No audio.

I was spared the early versions. My player, Sharp MD-MS702, had ATRAC 5.
Um, because none of my incoming calls do?
Because none of the people I call know what VOIP is, much less encrypted VOIP...?
Because SNOW 3G and UEA2 are sufficient to keep out all but state-level actors, they can break what they want at either end.
There is no absolute security.
Aaaaaaaaannnd the AC restates my premise. I did not expect it to survive the permanent press cycle.
Do you read these posts? Or just image them in the lizard brain?
Yeah. Been doing those for a while

There is a lot of dark fiber around. Idaho could be a data center hub in 90 days, and centers constructed in 180.
Cheap power, cold air for free half the year, just the winter snow as a threat.
Given Apple's vast knowledge and past history, this seems like either a waste of time or a significant effort to break new ground.
Ha. Get out the popcorn and prepare to shovel the blood.

Even those who prior to the election claimed they would escape the asylum if he were elected are leaving.
Not many in America want to leave. They may want to change it into something else, but that's not about leaving.
And so the asylum seems to be a very desirable place, even today, to most of the world. You're calling them all crazy, right?
Web pages today do A LOT.
They poke around my machine, looking for data they want to send back.
They try to add elements to advertise, or capture more data, or identify me.
They pop up and under new pages to further advertise, identify, track, and harass me.
They ask to notify me of whatever they want to force on me in the future.
A lot of this is self - promotion, upon my first visit, as if I'm going to make them a favorite site upon a 3 second inspection.
But the math is that a 0.00001% response generates revenue.
Bastards.
And the pages that incorporate some that plays in the background, interrupting the you were listening to, show no control panel, and have to be killed. This I see in my Android Chrome browser. Perhaps best part is I hear nothing from that gadget. No audio.
Wtf is it?
You don't threaten. You do.
You cripple something, or deny something, plant some bogus info, raise the noise level, pass them off in a covert way.
Cost them money or time.
Public threats are posturing.
I, for one, don't care.
