That excuse as been thoroughly debunked, since Apple no longer includes a headphone port on iPads either. It was purely a financial move to sell their own wireless headphones, after they bought the "Beats by Dre" brand name.
A mechanical switch is easy and cheap to fix or replace. A touch screen is the opposite. It cannot be repaired, only replaced. A switch can usually be cleaned easily, to restore its function. And proper quality switches can be actuated millions of times before failure.
EU probably felt they were justified in their meddling. Meanwhile, we have been eating Danish cinnamon pastries for who knows how long, and by some miracle have not died. And if death by pastry were to become an issue, it would be one [we could solve ourselves](https://www.foedevarestyrelsen.dk/english/Pages/default.aspx).
The entire tyrannical bureaucracy of the EU undoubtedly feel they're doing a great service, while a lot of people feel they're sticking their noses where they don't belong, making problems where none exist to justify their existence.
This feels like somebody setting up a GoFundMe to pay off their credit card debt. They paid their CEO an absurd salary, and now they need more money. That sounds like a you-problem.
Every comment like yours attacks the strawman that the CEO and employees should not get paid. Nobody is saying that. But I'm absolutely not going to donate anything while the CEO takes out over 800000 dollars in pay, and it looks distasteful to me to go around begging for donations.
If you want to do anything with GPS modules, some fine and talented people have done the hard work of interfacing with, and parsing the output of a lot of different receivers, and called it `gpsd`.
In 2013, instead of solving real actual problems, the EU were upset that danish cinnamon rolls might have too much cinnamon in them. The ban was avoided by a reclassification of the product.
Stories like this happen with disturbing regularity.
Per recent postings on HN about /dev/urandom, wouldn't it fine to use data from that, rather than bothering with AES output. /dev/urandom should be cryptographically safe.
I've gotten a few of these, and I don't really see the point. I got one from my phone company, assuring me that I would not experience interruptions. Well okay then - I wasn't expecting it to go down, and in case it did, that's when I would expect an email about it.
It honestly just feels like brands are treating this as an excuse to send email reminding people that they exist. "Hey since you're just sitting at home on your couch in your underwear, why not shop for new pants on LEVIS.COM, so you can look sharp when this whole things has blown over!"
How so? I just looked, and they have both .deb and .rpm packages available.
I once spent two-and-a-half hours having two wisdom teeth removed, and afterwards I got an infection in the empty sockets. I'd rather do all of that again, than having to use Docker for anything.
I've been baking for years, because despite all the fancy cuisine that exists (and I do appreciate that too), there's nothing quite like fresh warm bread with a generous layer of butter on top. It's something special that you can't buy anywhere.
