My carrier offered me a discounted package with 3G speeds, but LTE latency (my phone shows an LTE connection and I don't really notice much a difference from when I had their 4g "full speed" package). Is this something similar, or is it just a straight up scam? If so, how do they call this an upgrade?
This may be tough since she is remote, but in my office I converted 60% of my workstations to Ubuntu as an experiment - and virtually no one noticed and/or cared. They use Chrome for 99% of their work, so I just loaded it into a clean ubuntu 18.10 install and moved the gnome dock to the bottom instead of left.
Without knowing more about your business, I liked the increase security, but I find that even a clean windows install is so distracting. Popups, updates, little animated tiles in the start menu - it felt like it was getting in the way of productivity.
...and I don't fully get CRISPR, but if it can prevent serious diseases at birth, then I am all for it. Thanks to this guy for being a voice of reason.
I know we have all this ethics crap, but if we eliminate something like Cystic Fibrosis, I don't see a downside here. If they are so concerned about humans, why are we not gene editing mice by the thousands? I'm sure I can find a few spare ones in my garage lol
this does seem a bit extreme. Probably more of a "where there's smoke, there's fire" precaution - maybe they think that everyone is smoking up and that's OK, but it seems like an extreme overreaction. Also seems like poor due diligence - if Elon hadn't lit up a joint, then they would just assume that everything is OK, even if the production line is stoned 24x7?
To me, if SpaceX/Beoing/etc... are going to be responsible for restoring space flight to the U.S., this should have happened upfront, regardless of what happens in the public eye or not.
Well Affinity Photo supports layers, Psds, fonts ( which sounds silly but not all apps do), and with gestures and long presses supports a lot. Biggest issue I find is that I canâ(TM)t have two files open at once. I still prefer a desktop but on the go it is amazing
Glad to see this option for iPad users, although I have been very happy with Affinity Photo (great photoshop replacement) and Designer (great illustrator replacement so far). Maybe these aren't as feature rich as Adobe, but a one time purhcase of $30 each has made my life a lot easier.
I periodically give LibreOffice a try but personally I just find the UI to be boring. MS Office seems brighter and Google Docs just seems so much leaner. I think a really nice and serious interface overhaul would make a big difference to many users.
Yes Tedla has flaws, but I think open sourcing something this important helps the industry as a whole - from creating standards, to government regulation, to potentially even having the development community at large participate - although a consortium of manufacturers agreeing on a code base that is actually secure would be more reassuring
So true. Everyone wants stuff for free and cries privacy but Android (and Linux) represent literally millions of dollars worth of development that no manufacture had to pay for - including EU based vendors.
This x100000
The EU is just really cash strapped. If google played hardball and geoblocked them I imagine the average EU citizen would not be impressed.
After spending a significant amount of time in Korea and Portugal I applaud this because some people simply do not know where they live. Sure they can give shitty directions like head south on the roundabout where Tonyâ(TM)s restaurant (which of course has no signage) then go down a ways and take a left but donâ(TM)t even know the name of their street or building number. Thank you google now roll this shit out globally asap

I thought, why in the hell does the government want people calling them when a Windows 10 update kills everything?
bonus points if you remember these
Yeah, true it would be easy to botch but it should be out there. Seems like a waste of resources.
This sounds like something I would totally read.
Is this pretty much an every OS issue like Spectre/Meltdown?

Had to LOL at 20xx - should be thinking of software, but immediately thought of Mega Man.

Couldn't agree more.

+47 to this. I could care less about ridiculous speeds on the go when I can't even answer a call inside of Costco

No iPad version though

We know it is going to happen so just build IG-88 already ðY
Here in Canada we only get amber alerts (which I donâ(TM)t mind) and as a cord cutter, the zombie apocalypse could begin and I would have no idea lol

I am not a dev but always interested in the stuff that goes on here. Could this be of any benefit to the ReactOS team?

Donâ(TM)t worry - roaming charges are going to be a bitch
I can confirm that Canadians will be paying more but it is still a great deal - I just wish we could get a decent solution for UV movies here
