around the whole planet! We'll make space pay for it! And we're gonna tariff the hell our of Jupiter! And any Martians that dare try to sneak through our wall, asylum or not, will have their little baby critters put into a small box and shaken! Because America... errr... Earth!

Thank little baby cheesus for family values and fiscal conservatism.

Moron...

I don't think most people take their laptops everywhere with them any more. There was a time in the 2000s where coffee shops were filled with people showing off their overpriced fruit machines but that seems to have passed. I'd prefer a desktop but companies buy laptops for... reasons that I don't quite understand. Probably because so many more of us work remotely and/or from home, that it's the only sane thing to do.

I honestly wonder who these people are, who flit around from place to place, using their laptop. Full stop. Who does that?

And September of 2017 isn't "a couple years ago" either, so it reeks of bad info.

You realize that statement is speculative, right? Cite your conclusive sources.

If the threat of imminent death due to nuclear war doesn't trigger your "things I care about" alarm, then you are a special kind of nerd. Maybe rephrasing of the headline would help:

"Trump Cancels Singapore Summit With North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un. Major ISPs In The USA At Risk Due To Nuclear Bombardment."

Does that help?

This.

I've looked at Youtube Red once or twice but don't see it as valuable. It's not worth $0.01, let alone $2.00. I've been using Google Music since pre-launch and it works great. If it dies, I'll take my pennies elsewhere. My daily listening habits will never include the need for video. I guess I should finally start looking at other streaming services.

And then it goes to the house and then the potato-in-chief and we're hoping it makes it all the way to the end, right? I wouldn't bet on success here.

Are we still doing that? I thought it all got moderated away and people gave up. Get off my lawn.

Like quick replies, there are people that will love this and there are the rest of us. It didn't take long for that toggle to appear. Hopefully the collective outcry will make this optional pretty quickly. I don't want my email to be "interaction."

You'd be sadly amazed by the number of companies that think flash is an acceptable avenue for building interactive web properties. I frequently see it with online classes. Think school lessons, driver's education after s ticket, HR training, "security" tutorials, etc. It's sad but there are so many "developers" that adopted it a long time ago that just aren't picking up HTML5.

The Galaxy S5 has a user replaceable battery and has the same IP67 rating as the Pixel 2 and the iPhone 8. I just had to replace a screen on a Nexus 6 which has the back glued on and it has no IP rating. Your argument holds no water (pun intended).

Because rumors are not convictions and with no official reports, there was really nothing to do. Imagine a world where rumors were all that was needed to get you banned from a place. Disinformation campaigns would be so much more powerful. Keeping Draper on a short leash was an effective way of protecting everyone from him without playing judge, jury and executioner in the absence of actual accusations or evidence of wrongdoing.

The barrier to entry for using PKI is pretty high for your average human. Not only do you have to get people using the same (or compatible) tools but they have to understand the setup. I actually joined my current company because they had a product that solved that. (Shameless plug: virtru) The only way to get normal people using crypto is to make it trivial. You may have to make some small sacrifices to get there but the end result is a better place.

Came here to day this. My gut reaction is that this has nothing to do with Netflix and everything to do with losing subscribers. I dropped because of the new UI. It's not just a "change is bad" reaction either. If the new changes were mostly usable, I would adapt. I left because bad change is bad and I'll keep my couple of bucks and put it into an external antenna. The mohu does OK but now it's time to get serious.

That's why my appliances get to live on their own network segments, firewalled from everything else. I like some of these nifty features but I don't trust them to live near my systems.
