It should at least fail gracefully. I'm having the same BSOD issue with my dell monitor webcam.

Yeah, trying to use an Intel NUC as my media center with Ubuntu and as far as I know, can't do 4k Netflix out.
I really want an all in one solution that I can cast to, block advertisements in browser, play all web video and do 4k Netflix.

As of right now, Netflix only plays in 4k directly on a smart TV or a few authorized media devices but no mention of a self made computer.
Google May Adopt Apple's Swift Programming Language For Android, Says Report (thenextweb.com) 172
An anonymous reader writes: Google has plans to make Apple's Swift object-oriented language a "first-class" language for Android, reports The Next Web. The publication, citing sources, adds that Google doesn't mean to replace the current first-class language for Android -- Java -- at least, "initially." Google sees an "upside" in using Swift, which Apple made open source last year. But a ton of things need to fall into place for this to work. From the report, "All told, Google would have to effectively recreate its efforts with Java -- for Swift. If the company is motivated enough, it's very possible to do so without compromising on its open source values or ruffling any developer feathers along the way." The company is also discussing internally about making Kotlin as a first-class language for Android. "Unlike Swift, Kotlin works with Android Studio, Google's IDE for Android development. Unfortunately, sources tell The Next Web that Google's current mindset is that Kotlin is a bit too slow when compiling."

I did that. Talked with tier 3 support at TWC. She said she saw the problem but could not do anything about it.

I just posted a thread over on reddit about Time Warner throttling my server. A 200mb download file download from them at 100kiB/s even though many TWC clients had 50mbit connections. That same 200mb file could be downloaded at 10mbit (2,000 kiB/s) when a proxy server was used.

For any of the shared plans, it is $15 per extra gig. $1.99 per MB is only for the basic phones.
Yes, Verizon sucks.
Comment 20 GB for $200, not 200 GB (Score 1) 307
Typo in the summary makes the $200 plan seem reasonable for giving you 200 GB of data when the article shows it as 20 GB of data.
Comment Re:It's a network issue, not a PLC problem. (Score 2) 17
This is partially true. While the network should be separate, it only takes one computer with a USB cell modem connection to infect the PLC.
Hell, it doesn't even need to be a live connection. A contractor with an infected laptop can infect the whole network when he plus in to diagnose the PLC. Bam, the PLC is modified for a future fail.
