My note four came fully packaged in paper and cardboard, with a plastic bag containing the headphones and a plastic sheet covering the each of phone and battery.
I remember being impressed at how eco friendly that was, in early 2015.
Hard wired and behind a firewall is the ONLY way to use any device that interfaces to my real life. Call me a luddite all you wish, but you can't fuck with my locks, lights, freezer or whatever else I might care to control.
However, the real problem is, at it's root "windows 10" itself. If you are not the paying customer, you ARE the product. And the tiny percentage of people that have actually paid for 10 are products that paid to be sold.
Does no one else think it odd that you can still reinstall and verify win xp licenses? Or that win 7 licenses are still actively for sale ?
None of my social media accounts link to my real life. None of them. I tell my friends that theirs should not either and I do not accept "friend requests" and I tell them why not to do that either.
"Embrace, extend, and extinguish",[1] also known as "Embrace, extend, and exterminate",[2] is a phrase that the U.S. Department of Justice found[3] was used internally by Microsoft[4] to describe its strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences to disadvantage its competitors.
"accelerate efforts to use cloud-based technology."
No, No! a thousand fucking times NO!!!.
The cloud is nothing more than someone else's computer, we DO NOT need government data or data on citizens floating around on any random service providers computer that the government decides to choose.
Sorry, can you explain why anyone uses a windows print server when you can just (over ethernet or wireless) print directly to every printer or print server made since the year 2000?

Just because they have failed at it recently in other product lines does not mean they have no desire to protect their original core OS business.
Ya, tell that to the people that have lost data or suffered major inconvenience when the "cloud provider" they contracted with and paid money to decided to close up shop.
It's not like it hasn't happened many times already.
Every time I hear or see someone talk about 'The Cloud', I make certain to remind them (or explain to them) that 'The Cloud' is literally nothing more than someone else's computer. By putting your stuff (whatever it is) on 'someone else's computer' you are trusting that, they will respect your privacy, not mess with or copy your data, and when they eventually lose interest in keeping your data for you (and they will, someday) that they give you the warning and opportunity to get your data back before they turn off their computer.
Yes, it is. But this is no different. powertripping neckbeard douchenozzles will blossom anywhere they get a chance, like dandelions.
The funny part is that they BELIEVE that they are special, but in actually they are the shitty weeds that anyone with a milligram of socialization would rip out by the roots and leave on the sidewalk to die.

I doubt that email clients such as thunderbird are going to honor any of these um, ideas.
Mine won't

Says the AC who has no credibility to trade on.
It sounds more like they broke chrome.
Not to buy symantic.

What does using a windows print server gain you?
I guess we can figure out why they shut it down.
The 3 E's?
Embrace,
Extend,
Extinguish.

Everyone laughed when 10 came out and I predicted windows was going to turn into a subscription service.
Is it still funny?

"Well, what if we go to all the trouble and expense to make a better world and it was all just a hoax?"
dammit "brace" not brave.
Don't slashdot drunk my fellow kids. Not even the red underlines can save you!
I had a sad, and what does the left and right pointy brave mean that a post just ignores it ? (shift , and .)
Ya, I had exactly that thought. I have a full backup of the day I took C.A.T.I.E. offline. I did a google and it may as well have never existed.
LOL!
