Damn reporters tarting up their access points with makeup, shouldn't be allowed.

With private property they can ask you to leave for pretty much any reason.

I agree, it would have to had sold devices in order to fade away.

I thought there was some small chance they could succeed in lower income countries but before they were able to get a foothold chips got cheaper and Android was able to run on equivalently low-end hardware.

When did Slashdot become a site that covers SF Startup Press Releases? Most of what Uber & Tesla does not fit the "news for nerds" motto.

Its had rumours for years, go look at all the iphone shit.

Recently botnets haven't really been the issue, they've mostly been reflection attacks which use DNS, NTP, etc. to amplify the size of the requests. If networks started to drop UDP packets with spoofed addresses that would reduce the problem significantly (so would convincing a huge number of people to fix their DNS or NTP servers, but that is harder).

I think you'd be better off picking up one of the Zotac CI-323 bare bones systems.

Nothing is on Windows 10 mobile.

I'm in a similar boat though from my perspective all the original content has been garbage.

Everyone I know that used Google Talk switched to Hangouts for the simple reason it was a continuation (though the EOL of the desktop application in favour of a shitty browser plugin was dumb), Allo/Duo however is completely moronic as they exist in parallel are disconnected. I haven't installed Duo, and won't be installing Allo, I'm sure as a Nexus user they'll eventually appear on my devices but I'll disable them at that point.

It was already passing through Google's servers, try to keep up.

Pretty much, for a user there isn't a reason I would bother installing. I use Hangouts, everyone I know uses Hangouts...

Maybe this depends on what you're referring to as self-guided but the in vogue approach of not teaching multiplication tables, long division, etc. has shown to result in a poorer understanding of mathematics.
