I was thinking the same thing. I bet the first schools to be subjected to these stupid psychosocial experiments are the ones where poor and minority students make up most of the student body. They don't pull this shit in the wealthier school districts. Scince the CIA helped flood the poor neighborhoods with crack cocaine in the 1980s, I would not put anything beneath the government. If you some clown tries to introduce "new math" or any weird shit into a school system, you can assume he is up to no good. If he tries to duck and evade hard questions, there are any inconsistencies, or he tries any salesman's tactics, then you KNOW he is up to no good.

And you seem to forget that those people can't afford to pay for gas, oil,
or mechanical repair bills where EV owners never do,
Y'all.

People see who is doing the crime.
The world can see who is doing the crime, per US city.
Who is stealing for the poor, working poor, middle class and wealthy. Again and again.
Why should poor people accept the cost of crime and accept "privacy" for criminals?
Have to pay for the results of crime over decades?
So criminals can get a way with crime? So police cant see who is doing crime?
So the world cant see who is allowed to do crime due to a lack of policing?
The results of lax and no police work over decades in some US cities due to city politics is now been seen world wide.

Enforce laws and stop crime?
No, stop the ability for the world to see who the criminals are and the why and how of the city crime rate.
Some US city with a huge crime problem can keep its decades of crime hidden.

vs the world seeing the city name and another video of criminals.

I guess that means that UMatrix will have to change its defaults regarding what it considers to be first party? You have a few whitelisted subdomains, then blacklist the rest.

Sounds a lot like the host file...
But in a higher, less efficient ring...

Damn straight.
No meth head, or no Uber, or no highway, or no cars, or
no people then there would never be a problem like this.

Free charging at work would be amazing and I think once we start seeing that plus charging at apartments, adoption will start climbing even more rapidly than it already is. Your fuel bill was $300/mo. Do you have a long commute, live somewhere with really expensive gas, or both?

You couldn't trigger an alarm running out of the mall with stolen goods. ROTFLMAO

Lol sorry, it was a year ago and the guy was a known factor and helped from original design and specs through production launch and did some other random stuff on the side. But appreciate the offer.

And that is exactly what Uber did, immediately after the accident.
Of course, the terms were held under NDA.

I still have an old VGA 17" flat screen monitor that can display 4096 x 3072 (HXGA) with a Nvidia video card.

In the USA the privacy laws dont extend to the "street".
The media, press, owning a video recoding device is not a crime in the USA to be looking into bay an EU gov...

Walk onto a persons private property and do a crime? Expect a police repot of that crime.
The police can ask if CCTV like images, video exists.. can they have a copy...
Just like with CCTV and VHS tape, the police get a copy.
The files also stay with the victim of the crime...
They can broadcast the video, give/sell video to the media, be the media and upload the images... using the "internet"
All part of been in a free nation.
Local news might broadcast a copy and ask for local help if the criminal can be seen, did something funny. While doing a crime.
While doing a crime on private property.
The police after getting a report of a crime can do around the local area and ask for digital video, like they would have for any CCTV on video tape in the area...
Re '10 laws in Europe" How EU laws, EU nations laws work and how and why police act/cant act in EU nations ...
EU nations law is not the law of the USA.
The freedom to be the media, the freedom to broadcast newsworthy content...
The ability to go to the police, report a crime and have police look for criminals.
The USA is not the EU... do crime inn the USA, expect to be seen.
No extra special privacy for criminals doing crime in the USA.

To be fair here, I'm sure that many of those hardware issues would have been addressed by literally leaving the laptop on with the internet connection active. Win10 does tend to download at least class compliant drivers as a part of Windows Update. While it can be a bit of a crapshoot as to whether certain specific hardware functions are implemented (e.g. the Realtek driver pack comes with a graphic EQ function and some sound effects that the class driver doesn't), you'd probably have gotten the majority of them working without actually needing to do anything.

That said, the Asus website has all the drivers needed; download them, run them, and click 'next-next-done'; it takes 20 minutes, less if your internet is quick. This has been part of the install process since Windows 95.

I'll 100% admit that Linux is getting damn good at supporting hardware out of the box, while Windows can still require driver installs, as you've illustrated. The major difference being that Asus has the driver downloads on their website. Hell, that driver download page was the second Google result when I looked up your model number. I'd wager that your touchpad fix wasn't documented on the Asus website, and I'd double down on the fact that the fix required a command line at some point. That's fine. You're using what works best for you. That's also completely fine.

However, while there are no shortage of complaints which could well be levied against Microsoft, the fact that your specific laptop required OEM drivers doesn't sound like the weightiest of grievances in my opinion.

Meanwhile, nothing on the list of functions getting the axe seems to overlap with the list of issues you had on your install. I'm not sure how much security MS is adding, or how much space they're saving by removing these functions, but I don't think you'll be better or worse off based on them.

If I'm trolling, which I'm not, I must be really good at it because you're so triggered you don't even bother referencing the original thread. You just talk about your obsession with my penis. Ask yermom about that if you really want to know. Oh and yeah you're still wrong.

So says the AC.

Not sure if the U-Stor-It is deprived of stimulus when you're sharing it with the lead of a Ukrainian nuclear fuzz-grunge band.

And who was the "driver"?
At that instant, it was a machine developed by Uber
who thought putting a minimum-wage young woman alone in the
driver's seat would compensate for disabling the car's
auto-braking system.

Aren't doctors concerned about "super bugs" that could be resistant to antibiotics?

She has the right to ask, but she doesn't have the right to an answer.

Since the "I" in the case was a machine developed by Uber,
Uber is still definitely partially responsible.

back in the days of feudalism, was the peasant class taught how to read? No, they weren't, and why do you think that is?

Nit, I've read that after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, literary was so rare that in many? societies scribes could get away with murder by paying a hefty fine, their talent was that valuable.

Per Wikipedia prior to 1100-1500 paper wasn't a thing in Europe, and of course it was only towards the end of that period that movable metal type allowed for mass production printing of long texts, both of those plus sufficient agricultural surpluses are needed if you want to have a somewhat literate society, instead of only those at the very top, including especially priests.

Going back to early Christianity, I've read that the typical church would have copies of the books of Psalms and Proverbs, and only one or two books of the New Testament at any given time, copies of the latter would move from church to church, rare because they had to be reproduced by hand a letter at a time.

I think your focus on the Bible Belt is off, because for many sects of Protestantism it's considered important to be able to read the Bible. I'm from that part of the country and reading was considered to be very important, and if my home town school district ever dabbled with whole word, by the time When Johnny Can't Read was published it became nationally famous for being able to teach just about everyone how to read.

It really is nearly impossible to get around. I've tried a bit, but MS plays dirty. The default privacy settings are always 'track everything' and if you change them, updates often cause them to revert to defaults silently. The Windows services responsible for spying are exempt from the Windows firewall and ignore the hosts file, going directly to DNS regardless, with hard-coded IP fallback. You can block them at an external firewall, but the required range blocks are wide enough to kill a lot of other Microsoft services too.

Remember how the model 3 had 500k pre-order but actual sales fell well short?

> does anyone know if ZFS, or if any other filesystem, deduplicates blocks when it stores snapshots? If so, that may be an efficient way to preserve the data on a backup drive.

ZFS is Copy-On-Write so snapshots cost almost zero disk space.

If you got hit by this encryptor then you'd say:

    zfs rollback data/nextcloud@daily-20191123

or whatever your snapshotting is set up for. Then reindex the files, probably.

Some people snapshot every fifteen minutes.

BTW Nextcloud works fine on Apache.

In the amazing race, sometimes they put up signs along the way and require the driver to memorize them.

Most reasonable people don't exclude either appearance or utility, Prius drivers being an exception. If something looks really good, someone might be willing to compromise a little bit on utility. If utility is fantastic, someone might be willing to compromise a smidge on appearance. The question is, how really great is the utility of this thing, and how far are prospective buyers willing to let the appearance factor slide? Time will tell.

Personally, I think it looks like an F-117 and a Chevy El Camino got drunk and had unprotected sex. I also think the 6-1/2 foot bed is a problem for a work pickup.

Into my optimiser script they shall go.

Is that like mythical 500000 model 3 orders that have fallen well short of actual sales?

"A few-years-old" graphics card may already contain DisplayPort or HDMI. I bought a 2560x1440 monitor a year ago, and plugged it into an old Radeon HD 6670 from 2011 at first. Connection was via DisplayPort. Worked fine, just the frame rates in gaming were poor as expected.

Some PC makers just do not bother with supporting all interfaces. The slightly newer and more expensive HD 7850 in my main PC has no DisplayPort for instance. Fortunately, it does have HDMI which supports 2560x1440.
