Took MS 14 years to figure that one out. Even with accelerating tech timelines, Jassy has some time.

This is why the military is supposed to stay out of US cities and spy agencies respect citizens privacy. Cowards all around with no moral compass.

So easy to protect from the sun and the reward in the mountains is so wonderful. Terrible waste to stay locked in. Wouldn’t be surprised if this were another contributor to less he…

Not using your Garmin for hiking is very surprising. Primary reason is that tracking position for the duration drains battery where Garmin can do 50hrs of it. This gives me a .gpx …

Years ago I bought a bag of Bluetooth 4.1 USB dongles for development only to find every single one of them had the same MAC address. Ugh.

What if the ToS change is to curb abuse? Can users just opt-out and continue their abuse? What if the abuse is costing Twitter significant money? I see language about decompiling. …

You've never gone to the grocery store with $10 for a week of food for you and a child. A whole lot of people are living day-to-day- lying to the IRS about their number of dependen…
