also no traditional USB and no MagSafe.
My next laptop will be a non-Apple one.
(luckily my McBook Air serves me well, recently extended its lifespan with new battery)
Do you want to suppress my perception?
The tone of the answer was in tune of the reply, if one was thorny, the other too. You may choose to see that the other user was intentionally ignoring common knowledge to pick condescending tone, but you chose not to.
You should not be arbitrarily partial.
Thanks!
In case you really do not understand please google 'disable ios update notifications' (note the hit count), or alike.
(you must have limited experience in iOS despite of your long time exposure)
Agreed about the 4s.
I expected having the same form factors with less borders for a bigger screen. There was quite a potential in that (edge to edge screen might been exciting the coolness chasers as well). Shame did not happen.
"I don't want corners cut when lives are on the line"
...still not sure if you are talking about the (heavily) cost optimising conglomerates or not....if we agree to constrain the topic to finances leaving out innovative ideas, ethics, integrity, trustworthiness, etc. where conglomerates may be loose with standards.
Also do you know how Apple and Google started? (I hoped the suggestion will get through without stating the obvious, but it did not)
I don't get it.
Do you suggest that Google or big players make things better than anyone else?
Or other way around, small startups cannot make good products?
I believe if it was so then only companies starting with 1000+ people could do anything useful, small startups were doomed to fail, also big player could never do wrong.
Sounds a bit simplistic and contrary to countless examples from life.
"Nobody even really sells desktop PCs anymore except custom gaming rigs and low-power kiosk boxes."
I believe you should embrace the novelty concept called 'work' sometime. Then you may see some 'niche' application of PCs.
Mobile devices can, yes, be sold in bigger numbers, may produce higher profit, many trivial applications like browsing for news and sharing our newest and greatest experiences by tweets and photos do not require, luckily, a desktop anymore and so these paramount usages could been shifted to the only important platform of mobile devices, yet the second grade activities of design, manufacturing, academia and so still rely on the archaic concept of desktop computers and they keep alive this dying artefact. Even traitor mobile developers (all of them, the fools!) dare to use desktop computers still instead of solely relying on mobile phones. But not long, soon the last aircraft engineer or corporate accountant will sell their desks and throw away the last of the keyboards moving to the only necessary platform of mobiles so the PC can go extinct finally!
"the doctors bigger concern may be insurance fraud"
Less serious but immediate is the bad publicity of the fact that they aggressively sue unsatisfied patients.
I may think twice going to such a person instead of other alternatives.
This is not waht's in the title of the article!
The title says the account is threatened to be closed on the grounds of circumventing censorship!
Big fat lie!
The account suspension threat is based on using something that is not permitted! Knowingly not permitted, illegitimate use!
Based on the story Amazon has no problem with you circumventing censorship, it is not the subject of the topic at all, do not lie please because you only hurt your own reputation and trustfulness - which in a highly sensitive area that you are working in is paramount!
I am a very satisfied owner of the PM3 myself, I was glad finding it a year ago after a long search. Now what? Should I resume search when my headphone wears out or unfortunately get broken or lost? I was relaxed that I always can buy a new one or even an improved one after that happens. Maybe I should buy a reserve now!
Except that my 3 level system failed ages ago.
Originally I had one, then with more sites coming - several with bogus or recless implementation - it was extended to the aforementioned 3 tier one just to get f*cked up by 'knowing it better' god complex but stupid enforcers requesting or forbidding (!! how stupid is that!) characters. Not to mention leaks forcing me to introduce new ones, having eventually 5 layers with variations on each level because of the highly arbitrary rules of enforcers blocking my well thought of secure passwords.
All led to the situation that I have an encoded file on my computer with passwords (most just referrals/reminders/instructions not the actual password characters).
How stupid is that!
Writing down passwords!
Even into secured files, still, increased level of risk. A method with doubtful protection when someone is targeted for his/her secrets personally.
Stupid but that is reality.
Made necessary by recless developers.
The whole password infrastructure is dead as means of protection. It does not work against serious attackers, only agains random wanderers. And more and more against rightful users!
And the most was done to ruin it by those enforced the users to solve the problem on the user side that in fact lying in the system side.
Passwords will not fullfill their task if:
- allowing parties without permission to enter
- locking out righful parties
Very strict enforcers corrupt the system through the second point. Narrowmindedly focusing on not letting in unwanted elements cause the whole system to case working as intended, locking out and disallowing users to use it, defying the very purpose of existence.
Encouraging users not to use passwords that ever used by someone is just an extremely very radical level of enforcing and again trying to make users fix the inadequacy of the system developers.....
This is not solving systematic problems just conserving a bad habit plus making a bad situation even worse.
