Is it a surprise that people want to be able to live somewhere, maybe have a family they can provide for, and otherwise not need visit food banks to live off the snacks available at work? The valley is so horrifically expensive, the salaries are not great compared to the cost of living elsewhere, and yet they make these companies billions of dollars. The idea of take this shit work and after 5 years you will get some stock that will only matter if the company still exists, actually has a liquidity event, is not reverse acquired, or that you are not fired for not being as productive as you used to be is a tall order.
Itâ(TM)s more that an operating system installed on billions of devices with billions of daily users experiencing pain points of the same bugs and vulnerabilities for decades should not have an unexposed attack surface left and all around be sufficiently hardened.
Yes, some people live in houses, and have their computers set up in offices in another room from their living room. And sometimes those people with houses also like to play games in their living room. And sometimes they would like to play a game in their bedroom. And punching holes in walls to run a hundred feet of HDMI cables, including sometimes breaking out a drill to go through studs is... Difficult. So, having something like Steam Link or this MS branded miracast app makes things easier for someone who would otherwise need to buy three computers so they can play games how they'd want.
It's good for being good enough. There are people who want to sit on the couch to play games. Being able to have access to all of your games with one controller is a nice value add, especially when it's a free piece of software. Not everyone is a competitive keyboard master race player and just wants to sit back and play Trailmakers or Gary's Mod.
The difference is that 3 years ago, I could get by with the call blocking function in my phone's dialer as it was maybe a dozen or so numbers that were all "your vehicle warranty is expiring..." Now, it takes an actual app checking in with a hundred thousand other users and blocking numbers by the million.
I am genuinely not interested to see it until I can rent it or watch it on a streaming service, and even then if the reviews are positive. I use Trakt to keep track of stuff that I'd like to see as I find something that looks interesting and throw it onto a calendar for In Theaters (rarely see), Released for Purchase (depends on reviews), or Released for Rent (if I am interested, but the reviews are on the fence) Added for Streaming (usually try regardless of reviews). I *WILL* flag something as "want to see" and "not want to see" because it will remind me of the things I care about, as well as help build a profile of those sorts of movies and tv shows that I have expressed interest in in the past and either give me more helpful recommendations (History, Biography, Science Fiction, Romantic Comedy, Drama) or remove recommendations that I'm definitely not interested in (such as Sports, Music, Children's, Holiday, or Jump-Scare Horror). There are a ton of other things in the middle that bubble up if they are in the Released for Streaming category and rated over 80%.
So... There can be people who are genuinely not interested in a film (any film, not just this one) and use said want to see ratings for a productive purpose, even though it does not represent how you choose to use it. Further, just because someone does not wish to pay to see a film while it's in the theaters does not mean they won't have a passing casual interest to see it when they don't need to make a day out of it or spend $30 on it so I can keep it as a piece of memorabilia when I'd happily wait 3-6 months to watch it for $2.
And, yes, I know that I am likely in the minority with how I use the service (and a paid frontend for it at that).
Perhaps the problem is market fatigue due to post sale monetization. Today, buying a game that isn't intentionally hobbled to allow for micro transactions is rare. Metal Gear Survive came out with a requirement to pay for a game save slot - the permission to save your progress. You have the likes of Madden and FIFA coming out where it's no longer a game of skill or strategy as building your team is making your best of random unlocks unless you pay for them. You have Call of Duty putting shame icons next to players who don't have the season pass, preventing people from playing all the maps without kicking them from matchmaking. Deus Ex Human Revolution had you pay to unlock and level your various skills in the game at 1.99 a piece, or else to unlock your entire tech tree it would take ~3800 hours to unlock them... For a single player, story driven game. And yes, this literally has made me ignore a number of titles I previously looked forward to.
I could not root my Galaxy S8+. Chrome does not let you use an ad blocker on mobile without rooting. Samsung's browser does. So, there I was not using Chrome simply because I wanted to actually read websites without half the screen being rendered useless. If I could get an ad blocker in chrome, I would switch back so my bookmarks and history can be synced between my phone and my computer.
It is an intuitive answer to a difficult problem. Namely, within a 3 dimension coordinate system, there are an infinite number of 2d coordinates. Therefore if there is a 4th dimension, itâ(TM)s coordinates encompass an infinite number of 3 dimensional coordinates. And so on, turtles all the way down. What is contained by those coordinates is in dispute, and where science fiction writers have taken some flights of fancy.
Atari claimed ownership in full to Star Control during their bankruptcy proceedings, while it appears there was a non-transferable license governing the copyright and much of the intellectual property, while Atari fully owned the trademark. The issue in question is that Stardockâ(TM)s new title falls in a legal grey area of a derivative work within a greater work (the series), despite not truly being a copy in part. So, itâ(TM)s the Disney defense.
Why is it that anytime I see the name Stardock, I immediately think of subpar software that barely works? Even Ashes of the Singularity, an absurdly hyped game crashes more than a Bethesda title.
There is a huge difference in power levels required to detect gross movement (like waving an arm) and fine movement (like making a box with your index fingers and thumbs).
Even if you pay for shipping, they have no guarantees on when it will leave. I ordered a new motherboard on the 14th with overnight shipping - in stock from Amazon proper, not a third party - and despite multiple calls to check on the status, it remains shipping now. It has been charged, canâ(TM)t be cancelled, but is stuck somewhere in the system awaiting going on someones truck. It is Amazon, not just Prime where the quality is slipping.
Speaking of that, I am surprised that after all these years Slashdot still does not support Unicode. At this point it is starting to feel like beligerance rather than a legitimate technical issue.
Yes, everyone already pays. Itâ(TM)s essentially a protection racket coming by and saying âoethis is a really nice looking business youâ(TM)ve got here. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.â
Is it a question of pride as opposed to being opposed to Qualcomm double dipping on patent fees, charging both the manufacturer and the integrator of the manufactured component?
The argument is that sleep is not the invention, it is a partial sleep until the device detects data that it should receive, at which point it wakes. Basically wake-on-lan except for radio. Transmitting, you know you need to power up, but receiving you do not. Hence, one could argue power states and a remote control as youâ(TM)ve described is an example of waking for received communication are prior art. But, that argument needs made in court to invalidate the patent.
US8698558B2 would appear rather difficult to design around. Itâ(TM)s a system that puts the radio to sleep unless it is either transmitting or receiving data in a packetized format intended for communication with a mobile device.
It effectively means âoeI can listen just enough to know if I need to wake up and listen for moreâ.
If one couldnâ(TM)t apply power states to a radio, or if they did they were unable to step back up to a higher level to facilitate bidirectional communications, one would need to always run the receiver at full power to ensure receive data isnâ(TM)t missed.
In mobile devices, battery life tends to be important after all. This one would seem like it hold qualify for FRAND, if not ultimately be deemed obvious / overly broad.

In Canada it is legal to drive while deaf as it is not deemed an impairment for operating a motor vehicle.

The odd detail is that since September, they only used 233GB / month. That's barely enough for said 6 million people to send a ping.

Why do companies insist on doing this "less than x" thing?

And yet for the vast majority of users, where once there was a single standard, now there are two, sitting side-by-side, vying for your attention.

Round about the time they talk to either their Fingerworks or Primesense acquired staff, I would imagine.

They use AI *and* Unreal Engine 4 to render virtual worlds.
