Hak5.org (blocked from work, so no direct link) sells the Rubber Ducky and the Turtle (the actual device used in the attack). Rob (aka Mubix -- the guy documenting the hack) does a fair bit with Darren Kitchen, the main guy behind Hak5.

My rule of thumb is 3rd normal form and selectively back off for performance or complex features. Anything more than that really sucks for real world use.
I would, but my current carrier (Sprint) isn't offering a Windows 10 Mobile phone right now. And even the models that support the frequencies aren't certified / enabled for Sprint even were I to get on unlocked. So, for now, I'm stuck with my Samsung ATIV S Neo (phone names suck) until I convince my wife we should switch carriers (but she really likes the price of unlimited data for a 5 phone family plan on Sprint).
Honestly? The yellow tinted lights hurt my eyes at night. I buy 5000K LED bulbs.....even for my bedroom. The difference is that at that color temperature, I don't need to buy as strong of a wattage (or wattage equivalent). So instead of buying 60w equivalent, I'll get 40w equivalent. The colors are clear but not overwhelming. If I get a yellow bulb, I still need the 60w equivalent and the yellow color bothers me. For task focused areas (such as the kitchen and bathroom), I'll still get the stronger light because I need it for the task....but in the rooms where people would normally say to get yellow, I just get something dimmer.
I guess all of their other CRM products/platforms weren't very good (i.e. Seibel and others)......or maybe it's because Oracle already ran those into the ground and needed to buy some more customers.
And yet, car manufacturers are doing it again. A friend of mine has an older Prius. OBD-II works for those few systems that are standardized and common, but all of the new features that aren't covered by OBD-II are hidden away by a proprietary set of codes that need a special scanner to read. Everyone wants to lock people into their system instead of someone else's so that the money has to come to them.
There are many statistics about the Millennials being less likely to go to college. I think that's a contributing factor. Gen-X is probably the most educated generation.....this would be reflected in their salaries, too.
And Google's argument is that the API definition (function signatures) constitute public knowledge (the phone number, if you will, for the functionality).
At this point, a large screened phone is sufficient for my tablet needs.....games, browsing, podcasts, etc. A Tablet was never really a good creation platform and the 2-in-1s are the next attempt to get people to move away from a laptop.....I probably won't even get one of those. I think a nice phone and a nice laptop are still going to be my preferred weapons of choice.
I'm in the same boat. I listen to many audio podcasts and watch several video podcasts. For video, I found that 1.5x works best.....unless they are just "talking head" videos.....the visual component needs a little bit longer to process. Audio-only at 2x is very do-able. And this is for content that isn't just entertainment --- some of it includes "educational" content (loose definition --- not necessarily meaning academically).
So, do that.......charge 54 cents with a "strongly encouraged" tip to make up the difference. Or add "non-optional" fees for things that aren't directly related to car maintenance (which is covered by the mileage reimbursement).....kind of like "shipping and handling" when you place an order..54 cents per mile for the trip $ 4.00 "convenience fee" $ 2.00 "destination charge" etc.
People near the borders (or people looking to make a few bucks) would drive across and buy a local pre-paid card (and possibly even a Mailboxes Etc. type address) to get the content of a nearby country. They could easily sell the cards and/or the billing address to others in their country.
Not knowing the technical beneath it, but wouldn't lightning port (or any digital port, really) headphones require some circuitry.....so my super lightweight earbuds are now going to require some sort of wart along the cable that has whatever logic required to negotiate for a timeslice on the digital bus, monitor for packets designated for my earbuds, decode the packet and convert it into sound (probably more steps, but that's a decent representation). So where will that wart sit? Not at my ears, it's too heavy......one of my big gripes about many bluetooth headphones. At the plug end? Wow, now I've got even more stuff hanging off my phone making it unwieldy.
Actually, if you write the web app correctly with the offline.manifest file, you can make much of the site work offline. I've implemented a Cordova application that uses the offline manifest and local storage to enable a user to interact with the system and then sync back to the main server once the network connection is reestablished. You just have to cache a lot of the "driving" data and make sure that you don't exceed local storage. But it works.
Considering I'm not using the Dell drivers but the Microsoft ones, I'll give praise to Microsoft. The Dell drivers were barely 7 ready.....a lot of them were really Vista drivers.
I have a 6yo laptop (Dell, not Samsung) that is on the "Windows 10 not supported" list for Dell and Win10 works just fine. Bash them all you want, but MS does a decent job of supporting really old hardware......in spite of the manufacturers not updating their drivers.
A solution to the problem of how long it takes for updates to make it to end-users. If you have 15 models, each with different specs, you have to work through each model to make security updates. If you only have 3 or 4 models, that's bound to be easier meaning that updates should be released faster.
I think the model that Apple has taken --- limited phone models --- is the solution, but that requires a much bigger bet by the device manufacturers. With fewer models to support, a manufacturer could devote more resources to keeping the phone updated. The risk being that a poor model would crater their whole business. I know not every model is perfect for every person......so I don't really know how that would work, either.
I've had a similar experience with Google. Having a conversation and then start typing a search based on that conversation in Google and with just a few letters typed, one of the suggestions is 100% on topic for the conversation I was having. This is typically on my desktop and I'm not running any Google offline apps (just hitting web pages).
TypeScript adds a little of the rigor of a "real" language on top of JavaScript.......still not perfect, but at least better. And since it transpiles into JavaScript, you don't lose any browser compatibility. It's also easy to "convert" your code since you can mix old and new as you work through the migration.

But a million dollars and 40 some odd years could easily turn into a billion in value.
