Probably they would be, in about 18 months time.

Seeing that I live in Australia, I am sure this service will be denied to me, in any case, as I am sure Foxtel will have exclusive rights and will try to continue to enforce their ludicrous 1990's approach of making people sign up for Rugby, Cricket and some other shit sport I don't care about in order to watch one TV show at about $79 a month. Currently, if you want Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley, legally, in Australia, you're compelled to buy multiple different "packs" from these clowns and the price really is $79 a month. Or you can buy Private Internet Access for about $15 a year and torrent.... Why do you think Australia leads the world in piracy?

Seems that if you max out the Ryzen on Linux or BSD, it can (under certain conditions) cause a reset:

Now I can install Ubuntu under Windows in Parallels on my Mac. If I can get WINE running under that, I can just about go full circle...

Ok everyone - it was a joke...

I use tabs and I understand some people prefer spaces but what kind of hybrid-hell-beast uses both??

Typical Verge. "Documents, desktop, pictures" = "entire computer".

No. No it doesn't. When someone says "entire computer", I think "that means the entire computer" not "that means my documents". Google Drive cannot backup c:\windows\ or other locked / key files. The title of this article makes it sound like this is a full disk backup, which it's most certainly not - all they're letting you do is change the directory Google Drive syncs. ownCloud has done this for literally years.

TheVerge is supposed to be a tech site but they don't seem to understand much outside of fashion blogging.

What happens if you put a computer inside a fridge? It gets hacked, of course:

He means "Hyper-V Server".

Frankly, if my city gets Nuked, the viability of my business is probably going to be somewhat in question, in any case. My ability to recover my up to date accounts receivable data will probably be more than a little redundant, when all of those debtors have been vaporised, money is worthless and, if by some miracle I'm not dead or dying of radiation sickness, I still have access to an electricity grid, to run my computers.

If you're running anything smaller than a country and "nuclear war" is in your contingency plans, you're probably focusing on the wrong concerns.

I look forward to hearing about some ISP sticking all this data in an internet facing, insecure MongoDB and it all being leaked. Then we'll all be able to search people's entire online lives on pastebin. And you know this shit is going to happen, too.

You want evidence of price discrimination, change your location to Australia. Boom - everything just doubled in price. Steam, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft - they all do it. It's even got a name (australiatax). It's even cheaper to fly to the USA to buy from these companies and then fly back, than to buy it here (https://www.neowin.net/news/its-cheaper-to-fly-to-the-usa-than-buy-adobe-cs6-in-australia). Amazon is most certainly one of the guilty parties here.

Your ISP can still see the destination, HTTPS or no. So if you're hitting up their DNS for pornhub's IP, https isn't helping a whole lot. And if the URL you visit is https://amazon.com/golfclubs - they still already know enough about you to sell something to advertisers, without seeing the details of the site.

Not even kidding. There's been a fire at a Samsung Store stocking the S8's. No one is confirming it was the S8's that started it - but no one is confirming it wasn't. Either way, it's publicity Samsung could have done without.

My assumption is he wanted to distance himself from the situation as fast as he can. There's a clear lawsuit or more coming for this company, which is privately owned, not publicly, and being a major shareholder in a privately owned company that's getting super-sued is ?possibly? bad news. That was my assumption - he wants the hell out before it gets worse.
