Not really sure why Edge is the only mainstream browser that supports it(for now) without an add-on, or why they're getting rid of that support.
My gut-feeling guess:
Adding support to just display an *.epub to the browser would be trivial.
Porting all the sandbox/firewall/detection of malware parts that happen on multiple layers from corporate firewalls/OS virus scanners/browser sandboxes to catch the same malware approach hidden in an *.epup zip file would probably be a slightly more challenging task...
Doesn't matter much as long as not many people use Edge, but the more people start to use it, the more likely someone will try to find an attack vector..
I'd guess the backend purchase logger database was too slow or otherwise overwhelmed.
That's something I really don't get. I have been administering and sometimes extending three different Point of Sale systems for decades. They are pretty cheap and not really good. But none of them talk directly do the backend database. They do all the work to a local database, and then that gets synchronized to the backend, either directly when the cash register is online again. In the last couple of years there have been *some* things, like online coupon verification etc.. that talk directly to the backend, but the "don't rely on the network for basic checkouts" is for people working with cash register software, as far as I have experienced, basically the rule equivalent to "don't eat yellow snow" for people who experience winter..
Funny. In his talk about Magnets,

he closes with.... (in the last ~30 seconds or so)
"I can't do a good job, any job, of explaining magnetic force in term of anything else that you are more familiar with, because I don't understand it in terms of anything else that you are more familiar with"

The people who brought you PlaysForSure teaming up with the people that brought you the SonyRootkit. What could possibly go wrong?
Of course ATT will happily provide a statement that they will most certainly not spy for the Chinese...
umm, no. Kinda like any wireless headphones.
I had a wireless Sennheiser headphone that lasted 15 years.
It hat a replaceable battery pack. The battery pack lasted about 2 years with daily use. Even after they unfortunately discontinued that exact battery pack, I was able to replace the cells inside the ones I had with standard rechargeable cells from an electronics store.
Unfortunately, after that 15 years of pretty rugged use the headphone itself slowly started to fall apart.
And the Kicker: It costed about half of what those Airpods are costing...
I receive, on average, maybe 20 spam messages per day. All of which go into my SpamAssassin filter for training. Between 1 and 2 spam messages per month make it through, and they only make it through once.
About the same statistics for me. I just run a basic PostFix Server with three DNS Blacklists and some custom header checks.
There was a little spike in Spam some time ago when ICANN came out with all that stupid vanity domains, but since I put the offenders in the header checks it was over.
Exactly this. I also can understand old movies perfectly well, but newer movies are getting harder and harder to follow without subtitles.
every sensor should be triggered
Reminds me of the time when I and a few colleagues "Inherited" an un-labeled electrical installation back in the 1980s. We spent a few weeks walking around the building and crating short-circuits on purpose, to see which fuse got triggered.
If you read carefully, I didn't *BLAME* Windows. I just said, Linux handled the error condition better.
If you want to know the details: It was basically the "only" major downtime my company had in the last ~20 years. It happened during a weekend, while we where in the process of moving some stuff around in the server room.
The NAS was super-redundant setup, four 19' racks full of spinning discs, plugged into the new UPS. The servers were a super-redundant setup, a Bladecenter (with no storage of it's own) in two 19' racks, plugged into the old UPS.
Now "Someone", let's call him "Colleague A" re-wired the super-redundant connections between them on Friday. And did plug the super-redundant fibrechannel switches into a socked that wasn't protected by a UPS, since it "only had to last for a few days". Then we had a power outage on Saturday. The NAS kept working perfectly, the Bladecenter kept working perfectly, the just couldn't talk to each other, so all the pagers went of.
Me (The Linux admin) and the Windows admins arrived a few minutes later, when power had already been restored. It took me 15 Minutes to check that my stuff was working fine, and I went back home. The windows admins spent the rest of the weekend at work, trying to get stuff working again.
I don't really care who's "fault" it was, I just made an observation that some things cause less headaches for an admin than others.
That's what RAIDs are for.
But we had something similar that, when our NAS crashed a few years ago. After it was fixed, 90% of the Windows VMs were broken and didn't boot anymore, and had to be restored from backup.
100% of the Linux VMs just hat a "whoops, something looks wonky, I better replay my file system journal" boot message buried somewhere in the logs before starting up normally.
I guess their agreements with movie studios forbid that.
I'm sure there is a way to fix that.. Perhaps put tubes underground for the drones? Perhaps the droned could then even be propelled by compressed air? I'm sure that will be the NextBigThing(TM)
