Here in France, there has been a case of one person condemned to 1500€ damages for writing a blog post critique of a restaurant. However (1) she was not arrested and imprisoned before going to process (2) it was a simple civil contentious, not a criminal offense (3) she did not even take a lawyer, if she did the result may have been very different (4) the outcome stirred quite a controversy nationally and as far as I know, no similar case has gone to justice before or in the six years since. People go to these places because they are unaware of the risks, or because they think that as rich westerns they are above the law. Usually they are right, sometimes they are wrong. https://www.lefigaro.fr/actual...

This is not such a big deal as some people here seem to think. Third party camera apps will still exist you can still use them to snap pictures. What changes is that if a non-camera app requests a picture it will always be taken with the default camera. I found that third party cameras rarely work in this context anyway, in the rare cases where you really need to use a third party app to snap a quick image, you can do it separately, then pick it from storage

I just went to check out OpenCamera and the blurb stated "contains ads" :-( No thank-you!

It does not contain ads, you must have stumbled on a name-squatter. The legit one is "net.sourceforge.opencamera". Its description states "Completely free, and no third party ads in the app (I only run third party ads on the website). Open Source."

Of course, it is not "good guy" vs "bad guy": they are both corporation, they have no morale. But one of the two corporations is abusing its dominant position to extort 30% of the revenue from the other.

"exploiting the bug is as easy as tricking a target into clicking on a specially crafted text file"

I've been using vim for more than 20 years, I have never once clicked it on a file, whatever that may mean

2% of the global desktop computer market is still more than 25 millions installations.

Dropbox used to integrate well with Linux, but now it refuses to sync if the filesystem isn't unencrypted ext4, which is not even the ubuntu's default.For google drive there are third-party solutions which work quite reliably, some are not free, but still cheaper than Dropbox if you arre happy with 10-100GB storage

So when your iPhone get stolen, how do you manage to lock it remotely?

I did not know that pathologist was a disease, must be one of these new psychiatric conditions that keep popping every now and than. Anyway I'm happy that an AI can diagnose that.

Also, looking forward to see the automated "you got cancer" email, written by an underpaid Indian contractor.

If it's a full-screen game causing problems, you can usually just CTRL-ALT-ESC+click

Maybe AMD has understood that if you have the geeks on your side, than the next generation of general consumers will be yours as well. Because nobody, except the geeks, can tell two brands of hardware apart but everybody ask their geek family member for advice

You ask "if no, why?" but it would be much more sensible to ask "if yes, how?". Skeptic here have an hedge, because all we have to do is wait 50 years, then say "I told you so". While if you really want a city on Mars in 50 years, you've better get you ass off slashdot NOW and start working on it.

The fact that Cortana only uses Edge is in itself an excellent reason to not use Edge.
