Only reason I have LI is because I got access prior to public release back in 2003. I got laid off and my manager recommended it.
Don't you watch For All Mankind? Everyone there uses a Zune instead of iThings.
"kind of a big deal" the guy specifically said that it isn't. Y'know, the guy who's name makes the Li in Linux I guess that quote is included, but it kinda defeats the whole article. Weird and stupid clickbait but it's nice to see people excited about Linux.
Increasing UDP throughput simply by inlining a function is a big deal!
But that's what they told POTUS because he'd brag about means and methods.
The best part about smart TVs is that they DO collect your data. This supplements the price of the TV and lets you get one for much cheaper. With the money you save you can buy a streaming device (Chromecase/AppleTV/Shield/etc), ideally using this device and never even connecting your TV to the network/wifi/internet. In the end you have a cheaper TV, and you have a platform that you choose (Apple/Roku/Google/etc), and your sharing less of your data.
Sadly while your logic sounds spot on, the reality is, that TV still does ACR (basically hashing each screen sometimes multiple times a second) and builds one hell of an accurate profile of everything you watch. Even if the source is HDMI. And it's still sold.
Food for thought, that HDMI cable to your dedicated device, it likely supports networking, so the TV has a path to the internet even if you don't connect an ethernet cable directly to it, or add in your wifi creds.
I’m going to assume you have zero personal faults
Drink and driving is not a mistake or a personal fault. It's a conscious and truly FUCKING DUMB decision that should have significant consequences for you personally and no one else.
Comparing it to diabetes is just stupid. No one killed anyone else by getting diabeties, unless they accidentally sat on them.
I've heard of traffic 'accidents' where a diabetic went hypoglycemic, passed out, and drove into other cars, pedestrians, etc. For some reason the news always reports it as a 'medical event', but the point is, people are killed by diabetics due to their diabetes way too often. It is an apt analogy. An idiot decides to drink and drive an puts people at risk. An idiot with diabetes fails to control their blood sugar and decides to drive, putting people at risk.
I got skills you don't know about, man. I could fix it.
Yeah, it's easy to add more code to fix stuff that should be deleted. Just have the launcher code call your new code which bypasses all the old code. The old code can happily remain, it'll just never be called. No special skills required. If you look at the windows codebase, you'll see this technique everywhere.
