Well, the increased power consumption of the hardware not entering sleep mode would be a non-marginal amount of power theft. Not to mention consent...

They don't work as advertised - they're terrible. Besides Microsoft, Google has come the closest, but they're not pushing it as convergence. I think it is the future, but it's goin…

Azure is a good product, though. And, more importantly, the person is familiar with it. If I was doing something similar, I'd probably use GCP. Not necessarily because it's superio…

I am not offended by someone's personally held religious beliefs. I am, however, deliberately excluded if participating means adhering to a code of conduct that targets my beliefs.…

> disagree with specific details Ah yes, "is there a god or not" is a specific detail, especially when it's in the context of a whole series of religiously motivated directives. /s…

When it's in relation to a post asking, "who's really excluded", I think it's appropriate.

#1 on the list is: First of all, love the Lord God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole strength. I'm an atheist - I am unable and unwilling to comply with this C…

> there's no "View As" which will show you someone's search and location history Not in the UI, no. But once you have the token, which is what this was, then you can request that f…

It's because sometimes, such as when Apple takes a year to update a line, that you can find an ultrabook that costs half of what Apple is offering for similar specs (or in some cas…

This has been happening for years, especially in the "botnet community". Either someone takes down someone else's botnet through the same bug and patches it or figures out a bug in…

English has a lot of unwritten rules as well. Which sounds correct? I have a large red ball. I have a red large ball. I imagine german has the same, and I wonder if it's one of tho…

This already exists and is being deployed as a consumer-grade feature. I think that this will be a necessity for mass rollout of self-driving cars.

If you're going to be pointlessly pedantic, at least be correct.

hack is going to become incredibly widespread before slowly dying off due to market forces?

That's not the takeaway that you should have - simplicity doesn't matter if minor language versions make breaks.

This is absolutely implemented in modern CPUs, as debug or management features. Usually switched off - being able to turn it on from ring 3 would be a massive bug.

I was judging active by their standards. It's still very short.

Difference in power usage isn't that great, and carriers are provisioning 4g capability - in areas where 3g is over-used, it's not being improved.

The biggest benefit this could have is a smart-ish phone with multiple days of active use battery life. Instead they specced a 500mah battery Also it's $3-400. Insane. I can get a …

Considering that the darker edges of "app engagement" are trying to replicate gambling addiction, I hesitate to call users dumb when they don't act in their best self interest.

Not hyperbole, a real problem that leads to interop issues. For example, the hellish filesystem wars of the mid 2000s. Most distros STILL ship ext4 despite there being better optio…

Yes, disabling signed boot and allowing untrusted, unsandboxed code is what sets chromebooks apart from the competition. Of course, you can do away with these checks by entering de…

First of all, it's the weather. Half the year is rendered unusable for unplanned adventure. More than once here, on a rainy winter day, I've gotten in my car and driven east until …

The stupid and uninformed do not deserve to be victimized.

They hacked his office empty and then somehow hacked him onto a flight out of the country? And then they hacked all of his social media accounts and those of the people who worked …
