Over the last year or two, T-Mobile has redefined and even re-labeled what their unlimited plan means. Regardless, they have always been absolutely forthcoming about detail changes. Although I can see where that might get confusing, especially for customers who renew into a new plan without realizing it. So I guess it must be a slow day at the FCC.
On a personal anecdote, I very recently ditched my business plan for AT&T after a T-Mobile business rep tried to sell off my unused lines for a full year cash up front. Same rep then managed to deactivate my primary phone. I filed a complaint and he still works there.
MS has stated that this is very new and very buggy but that they are working on it. It is not yet for public consumption. MS has been embracing Open source minus the extinguish part for some time now. Linux (okay so not the kernel but still) on Windows outside of a virtual machine is everything a lot of people have wanted but never thought would happen. Go watch some of the MS demo videos. As a Linux user since 1996, I can attest that there is absolutely nothing that will make the broader Linux crowd happy. Hence, most of the Linux crowd are not actual techies.
Not long ago there were a couple of ads for the Kindle Fire where a child needed attention, so the parent, home alone, just turned on the parental controls and handed the tablet over with a sigh of relief.
I found those ads to be highly offensive. Yet I have seen that happen myself. A parent will buy one of those built like a tank sub $50 Android tablet for this reason alone. I have seen people do this to kids as young as two just to shut them up when the poor kid needs human interaction when crying. Inevitably the kid breaks it but because they are so cheap the parent just buys another if the don't already have another in waiting. I have seen this stunt language skills in children with no other sign of developmental disability.
I wonder what these kids brains are going to be wired for as adults. It's a safe bet it will be something we have never seen before. Autism move over. There is a new game in town.
Two disclaimers: I own the latest Kindle fire and love it. I have seen that very situation benefit kids with autism.
My understanding is that when you outsource to China for cheap tech assembly labor, Vietnam is so cheap that Chinese companies will turn around and send that labor to Vietnam. Or so I read on a Slashdot article some years ago.
I remember an episode of Beyond 2000 around 1992 or so. It featured a fuzzy logic system the Japanese had implemented in their own subway\tram system. Each train and each stop had the system and they were networked together so that the trains and stops could work together to maximize efficiency. I remember be amazed by it. This sounds awfully similar,
Although it could not respond to questions about a football.
To which I say: what the fuck? If I am on a rail system I want the computer to be thinking about its job, not a fucking football.
I learned along time ago to stick with LTS releases. I would tell you horror stories, but I don't want to trigger PTSD. I'm sure other here have stories.
This solves nothing. Let's drop advanced Algebra and Trigonometry as required electives and allow students to spend their high school years studying discreet mathematics. I'm not saying advanced Algebra, Trig, and even Calculus should be omitted, but give kids a chance to learn something practical. Not to mention, discreet mathematics easily bleeds into structural linguistics. Not enough teachers to cover that much ground? That is another subject entirely.
Surely most IoT devices need very little bandwidth to call home. Let's limit that to the minimum and call it standards based. For example, if an IoT device truly only needs say 5k of bandwidth here and there, then limit it to that. Better yet, work to limit the bandwidth all IoT devices need. Real security is even better, but we all know that takes a back seat.
You seem acquainted with internet subcultures. This suggests you may have a Slashdot ID and are perhaps even a regular poster. If so, what is your ID? Promise I won't tell you weasel of a little bitch.
The main goal of KDE was to be a solid WIndows 95 clone. The first time I used it was version 0.6.something. I may have read about it on Chips and Dips. It was awful and development initially stalled. Today it is my favourite IDE. Although I frequently turn to OpenBox and and awesome for brain decompression.
The AI war will be fought by humans on their behalf... for market share? Quite a twist of fate on the old school sci-fi notion. Google has made some ill conceived dick moves in the past, this is a whole bag of dicks.
NOT (quite) CORRECT. You can defer updates in the PRO version.
Settings-->Update & Security-->Windows Update--> Advanced options-->Defer Upgrades
Thank you.
Why they don't offer Defer Upgrades in the Home version is... I don't know. Cockiness. Force features on the Home-version Plebes.
This is the sort of reason I replicate my work across three operating systems as best as is possible. This means I stick as close to possible as using Open Source even where the OS is not.
I saw all the "You don't have a choice with Win 10!". I have the option "Update and Restart". I guess because I dropped a couple extra $$ on pro? It's not exactly freedom but comparatively speaking. Anyway, if you want to jump through the computer nerd hoops it is possible to deactivate Windows 10 while keeping it functional (unless you really need to change your wallpaper) sit things out then reactivate and update.
A bit offtopic: yes that show is tragically exploitative.
A few months ago I powered down my phone. I don't know what spurred me but I left it off for a week (vacation). At first being disconnected was painful. After the first couple of days I felt liberated and did not want to turn it back at the point when I felt I had no choice. I still had email, but the people I know are more modern in the sense they don't really use it socially and never have such that there is a disconnect for them. For me this made personal contact less intrusive and less invasive. People suddenly no longer felt the need to text me every little errant thought and selfies of them not looking at where they are going.
I am going to reply to myself one time and one time only. Under one ID or another I have been on here since day one. I remember when this sprouted from Malda's Chips and Dips. Why under one ID or another? Because of the bullshit majority that I see responding to this. Fuck you and fuck you. I had a three digit ID? Why not still? Because fuck you and fuck you. I remember when Rusty had the right idea. Too bad that went the way it did... Otherwise I might be having this conversation with at least half-way intellectual people who understand grand-scope notions of government and authority. And I support Johnson! Fuck you and fuck you all the way up to 964164. And fuck you for modding this instead of saying something smart or smart ass!
I have found this system useful. Although it is painful to hear that emergency signal go off minutes before the sirens go off, it may yet save my life. Also, I can attest that it has returned at least a couple small kids to their rightful guardian over the years. One of these was not a relative but an outright pedophile. To the detractors who say, "But it cannot be disabled!"... I cite my second experience over the first of my own life and say so fucking what? Are you going to complain about the TV you no longer watch and the radio you no longer listen to? Fuck off and I hope you never have kids in a situation that makes you oh so personally give a shit. Now find some flawed grammar and call it out.
Never heard of this. Although I do remember AOL from back in the days when it was exclusively a walled garden, and almost everyone subscribed to one or more of a variety of walled gardens. CompuServe, *Prodigy, etc... I was late in the game when it came to the likes of enjoying Archie, Veronica, WAIS, and so on... I remember waiting for the upcoming, world conquering Xanadu that was going to knock the block of this web thing.
*I remember having fondness for Prodigy in all of it's 320x240 glory over anything else. Unless you wanted to cyber. That was AOL and I can't believe I just said that.

A new paradigm in forwarding the social ineptitude of humanity! That said, this will probably be the first console I will purchase since the mid 90's.

Considering that iPhone users already exist in a reality distortion field, this is no great leap.

Try giving the a-okay sign in Argentina. That is a sure fire way to kill a deal.

It's not that I don't understand where you are coming from, but a lot of people have been waiting for todays event. This is legit.

Good luck with that.

Only on Slashdot does this get modded down. For the children? Of course.
No.
The alert on my phone was used to find a child 200 miles away. What more need be said. ---no question mark.
