Companies like Adobe will have to support updates for Adobe CC (LR/PS etc) for Intel CPU's for a while, while developing ARM (or whatever Apple is actually doing) versions as well (meanwhile trying to lock out Adobe PS CC etc from being run on some idiots iPhone (not the mobile version, the full version... some smuck is going to try to use the full version on their phone)
I also think Apples sour grapes with nVidia needs to end, im not an nVidia fanboy but think Apple looses a lot of potential locking out nVidia but thats my 10c
It's quite an old OS, doesn't fully support newer hardware, doesn't get security support and updates... find if you have an air-gapped system I guess, but I'd never consider running a Windows 7 install live connected to the net
Windows 7 was fine in its day, but it needs to be put to rest... (And I liked Vista back in the day, though an unpopular opinion it might be, I ran it with 4GB of RAM, where as many ran it with the minimum 1GB and wondered why they had a bad time)
I am in New Zealand and was affected because one of my 2 banks is BNZ.
I only found out I was affected because I tried to buy something on steam, and my debit card was declined (weird because I knew I had funds in it). I checked my banking app and it wouldnt show the live balance, and came up with a weird error when I tried to login... Couple of hours later it was back to normal, just was glad I out wasnt buying petrol or groceries
Does China, Russia, Germany have a right to your data if you are in the USA but using a such a country's service? Because this is the gate being left open
If only the USA paid attention to the Constitution... Currently you have no rights to unreasonable search at a border, or within 200miles of one... (dont see that limitation mentioned in the constitution)... The NSA and CIA actively spy on US Citizens, as well as the DEA apparently... Police and Federal agencies using things such as Stingrays without a warrant... Trump is pissing all over the first amendment, along with things which forbid profiting from his connections as President... and that's just the tip
6 Members of the press were arrested for 'rioting'... While I think the people who were actually rioting should be charged for such, I believe the police just arrested in many cases people who pissed them off...
PC sales are slowing, and this is why everyone runs around saying 'THE PC IS DYING OMG'
When in fact, Intel's cpu's arent getting much faster... [H]ardOCP recently tested a Kaby Lake 7700K vs Sandy Bridge 2600K http://www.hardocp.com/article... and the 7700K was only about 20% faster in a couple of tests... If you have a non current generation computer, you can put a fast SSD in it (if you dont have one already) and a faster GPU and you're fine for 99% of things (though with Sandy Bridge you miss out on things like M.2, PCIe 3.0 etc
More people I know have been building a PC rather than buying an HP or something prebuilt as well
Who will have the money to buy fast food, iPhones, cars, movie tickets, etc? This sort of thing contributes to the decline of the economy, to the betterment of the company's shareholders...
After the 6.3 earthquake in Christchurch, NZ, 22 February 2011, we can tell you that what you thought was safe, isnt... We had buildings that should have survived the quake, but didnt...
And then we had a 7.8 in Kaikoura, on November 25 2016...I wouldn't want to be within a mile of this building in an earthquake
"Do you think that putting suspicious elements under surveillance to combat terrorism is acceptable?"
Asked like that, I'm ok with it.
Suspicious people should be watched.
The problem comes when you are watching people for political purposes, or for "love" purposes. There need to be safeguards against abuse (for example, warrants). Because we've already seen abuses like that.
The sheer amount of people on the NO FLY list, and the battle that some take just to clear there name (few and far between), show you how messed the system is... you are possibly on a list, just for commenting on this thread:p
Agreed, its mental... you could surely write the tax code within 10 pages... X pays X, Y pays Y, cut out the exceptions, you pay what you are supposed to (cut out tax breaks for religious organisations too, that will save 100's of pages... and youd get Billions a year more in tax take
You must realize that the Japanese people a fairly strong memory of the direct and indirect effects of Nuclear events, unique in it's own respect, after Hiroshima and Nagasaki...
I doubt anyone in Japan would have wanted to be within 1000km of Fukushima and understandably so
Current US Policy as I understand it means that the use of mid range missiles without identifying the target with the Mk I Eyeball, means dogfighting WILL happen...
Some of this may be due also to the rather terrible combat results from the now retired AIM-54 Phoenix missile

Yeah, watching "Please Remove Your Shoes" made me cringe... at the TSA

Would this affect the first amendment
I'm not an American, but I would have to wonder if this would be an encroachment on the first amendment
Consumer law in NZ is pretty good, DJI may end up licking their wounds
Pornhub apparently had a popup which stated it had automatic sharing to Facebook after watching a video... https://imgur.com/gallery/msFA...

The US Government along with help from the RIAA/MPAA offered to help NZ write their changes to copyright law a few years back
It's a pity you cant register the debt against Comcast like they would you... and ruin their credit history
I paid for the app long before they went with the freemium model
Works fine here... *puzzled look*
They look more at encrypting things...
