This. They are bastardizing the term "PIN" but it is really just a device-specific password with alphanumeric characters. So in fact they aren't getting rid of passwords at all.

You can plug it into a computer and back it up that way, too.

You know, you can complain or you can buy the right hardware. If security is important to you (and I don't know why it shouldn't be), buy either an iPhone or a Pixel. Those are the phones that are going to give you the up-to-date software on a regular basis. This has been known for years so you must have bought your Motorola either not caring or not investigating that fact before purchase. I'm not trying to be harsh, it is just a fact. Even Samsung has gotten better at the security patches although not nearly as good as Google. And Samsungs are bloated with duplicate apps for a bunch of things, and you won't get a major OS upgrade for over six months after a Pixel will get it. You have choices.

So much winning here.

So they have included "free ad-supported shows" for $5/month? Hmmmm.....

Don't drop "cable" from your name, drop the shit from your game.

I've been buying from Zenni for about 5 years. Many pairs of glasses. Some of them are sort of cheap and others were really nice. But at those prices, who cares? I buy multiple pairs just to have variety and some fashion and I still save hundreds of dollars. And I've never had an optical formula problem with any of them, around 20 pairs.

I always thought that a multi-user, multi-tasking operating system by definition, was expected to isolate users and tasks in a way that they could not interfere with each other. That's what an OS does - provide isolation, virtualization, and security between processes so that the OS is stable, and any one badly behaved task can't interfere with either other tasks or the OS itself (subject to certain permissions).

While I applaud Microsoft's announcement, it seems to me that the need to do this shows a fundamental weakness in the their OS in the first place. It shouldn't be needed.

Yes, especially Verizon is about the worst possible company you would ever want to trust on this.

Perhaps they should consider raising their rates if they think things are free. That is what the fees are for. I've not heard of them, but what unlucky slobs get Frontier in their geographic area?

A rocket that looks like a phallus sustained 10Gs in a short "spurt" of time.

I believe that the pre-Microsoft Skype was encrypted peer-to-peer. WIth the Microsoft takeover and subsequent mess-ups, they have made it client-server (hence MS servers) and they can intercept all calls, including for the government. Isn't Big Brother a wonderful thing?

The tyranny of the default. He's definitely marketing. Apple's hands are far from clean, his company has horrible environmental practices in spite of their "green" marketing.

I suspect Intel went to the i3/5/7 numbering because they could not continue to raise clock speeds. The new numbering obfuscates performance. For example, I'm running an i3 desktop that while 2 core, each core is faster than many i5 single cores. That means I get great performance out of a single thread at a much lower price. It's just not as good at handling numerous simultaneous processes.

I've been coming here for over 12 years. Always interesting, always insightful. We appreciate you. It's a rough world out there, sorry about the DDOS.
