C'mon, you know that ain't right. We'll show you several.

Can confirm. I'm a gun owner and am done with YouTube. I am fed up with YT Kids too, there's some VERY disturbing videos popping up there daily, and reporting them doesn't seem to help.

Apple and Samsung are now eating a big ol' dose of reality.

To date, OnStar doesn't do anything negative when disabled, and you can just pull the fuse to disable it with no lights or warnings. OnStar emergency response is a subscription service you must pay for (after the initial free period) if you want it. Outside of the subscription, if you disable OnStar, you miss out on relatively superfluous features such as the monthly email about vehicle 'health' and the ability to use your phone as a keyfob.

Yes, and it's typically pretty easy once you locate the module. The cellular radios are often socketed and easily removed, and barring that, there's a bunch of ways you could attack and disable the radio from effectively connecting to a tower (e.g. pinning the coax going to the antennae).

Of course once auto manufacturers catch on that people are circumventing their systems, they'll just label them as 'safety' related and lobby to the government to allow punishments for interfering with them.

You're probably the same guy who will talk tons of trash about how iPhones suck, but your Android phone is the most secure, stable thing ever.

Pretty much any NAS has a media server now days, and pretty much every TV has some sort of player app. If not, a Roku stick is dirt cheap and works well. This one is easy, and there's so many options to make it, technically. The question, of course, comes down to ridiculous draconian licensing making it "illegal" to do so.

Agreed, not a fan of the new MBP keyboard.

I do like the new scissor mechanism in that it keeps the keys flat and level, but nearly everything else is a MASSIVE compromise in the quest for knife-edged laptops.

1. No travel really stinks. Even the iPad Pro keyboard cover has more travel and feels better. It's been nearly a year and I still can't get used to it.
2. The up/down arrow keys are too small for fingers to use, and the spacing is terrible. I miss the target on these all.the.damned.time.
3. The right alt/option key is pointless, should be replaced by a control key IMHO, but that's likely preference.
4. The lack of a taptic engine below the Touch Strip was a huge oversight on an otherwise novel and genuinely useful idea.

So I paid for Pandora for years, and stopped. The final straw for me was when they decided to play in politics and "take a stand" with the "Black Lives Matter" thing. I was already unhappy with the lack of a music catalog, I couldn't listen for longer than an hour or so before songs would start to repeat. They just got passed up by everyone else, and I've been a happy Spotify subscriber ever since I left Pandora.

Agreed. I was invited when I was young, read the materials and quickly surmised they're a blowhard organization for fake smart people. Pass.

Thanks, but I'll pass. This is just not a feature I want. Guess it's back to passcodes if I ever buy another iPhone. But to be completely honest, my 6 is fine for my needs, and to me the 7, 8, or X do nothing above and beyond the 6 that makes an upgrade compelling anyway.

This is the same pile of bovine excrement used in any attempt to destroy, um I mean "regulate" freedoms. They "may" have a slim shred of justification if there was concrete and irrefutable evidence of the imminent commission of a homicide, but we all know better.

iPod in a scanner sled actually works really well, right up to the point the battery swells or wears out. Then you yank the iPod out of the sled, and waste time sending someone to the Apple store to swap out the entire device since Apple's battery replacement program is really an $80 device replacement program. Then the devices come back to IT for provisioning and reassembly, and finally back on the warehouse floor.

This is what we're faced with today in our business as well. The iPod in a sled has worked incredibly well from a software and manageability standpoint, it's the batteries that are kicking our butts. We typically wait until a half dozen or so units are dead before we waste a half day sending someone to sit around the Apple store. The cost doesn't make me happy, it's not huge dollars but those are unnecessarily spent dollars. As such, I'm about to kick off development of our new order picking system, and I am going with generic Android devices with user replaceable batteries for this very reason.

Can't tell if tongue-in-cheek or serious.

If serious, stop making excuses. Your 30's are your most employable years, statistically.
If joking, get off my lawn whippersnapper!

I was born and raised in the area, lived and worked in Kenosha for many years until I moved out of state. There is a large skilled work force in the immediate area, having been home to a LOT of manufacturing jobs for decades. Many of those employers are now gone (Massey Ferguson, Case, AMC, Chrysler, etc.) but many remain (Jockey, Snap On, SC Johnson, InSinkErator) and more have moved into the area (Amazon, U-Line). For someone who knows the area and its people, I can't think of a location better suited.
