I’ve reduced 99% of tech calls from elderly family(60s-80s) by moving them to either ChromeOS/Android or MacOS/IOS and all printers to Brother lasers. If they spend money on phones I lean toward Apple ecosystem. If they penny pinch - Google is king with all second hand Samsung galaxy/books, Dell enterprise chromebooks, or chromeboxes - making sure to verify years of support. It also makes it significantly easier to not mix ecosystems. I then set updates to automatic and make ublockorigin default in the browser. The last 7 years nearly every issue was resolved with a restart.
Reading this article and the comments is frustrating given everything about these infotainment systems has been the same for 10+ years with very little improvements. Its embarrassing an iPad from 2012 can out perform these multi-thousand dollar car systems in both UX and speed. I was hoping the tesla experience would light a fire in traditional car companies making it more a priority but here we are basically just using the system as a screen to project our phones “car mode”. If it were possible I would rather buy a car with a floating usb-c mount for a tablet than pay 5k for an expensive system that I “basically” only use the display to mirror my phone.
My PoR: I use ford sync 3.x daily and recently used several popular models of Subaru, Hyundai, Dodge, and Porsche.
My problem with the get your own domain and DNS is its far more likely I become incapacitated and become unable to pay or manage it than getting locked out of gmail or outlook mailboxes.
Most of the responses here do a really great job at pointing out the flaws of this project. My biggest gripe is it currently has no plans to be integrated by default. So just like all the other package management tools for windows the tool itself is a prereq requiring another hoop. If I have to deal with more configuration management to install this from the app store I’d rather use chocolaty at least that can be installed reliably.
The Code execution vulns for both OSX and Win10 probably. In windows clicking a UNC path link would pass hashs. I believe for OSX there was an installer trick that allowed any code to run if triggered.
Pretty sure the kits they are referring to are “unfinished or 80% lowers” which become functioning with a trivial amount of drilling and cutting and are essentially sold as raw material instead of a part.
The Sony z series RJ45 hinge was just a bad design. Having used other brands that have this style port specifically the Dell latitude 7490 they function much better. Dell will likely continue to have a laptops with dedicated rj45 ports for a long time at least on business models.
What happens if i created a device that has multiple speakers and through a software update I make one an (albeit)poor quality mic? Do I need to tell you before hand that this was possible? Are they still considered speakers?
Although personally I’ve never had it happen, I work closely with our support team who handles these issues. It happened to around 5% of staff towards the 4th year of use and about 100% more on the 5th year. Majority shut off and never came back on. A small percentage were able to turn on and we could retrieve all the useful data after a clone. Thankfully we have a policy that critical things should never be keep local.
The entire reason for this was scummy to begin with. Järlström had presented clear evidence that the system was flawed. The state or county he presented it to used his “public” title(engineer) to try and obscure the wide spread incompetence of the matter while taking nearly a year to resolve the maths in question.
I would reach out to BitTitan. The MigrationWiz product they have served us well for a few migrations to O365 and I think they offer services for google apps.
I thought I read an article linked from HN(which I can no longer find here or google) that vaguely stated they used a previously trusted device(PC) to gain access. That would mean the "yes, I trust this computer" notification has long term ramifications security-wise.
I think the Big mac and McNugget have a very unique taste and cant say I've heard of or tasted any competitors versions of these that actually tasted similar. Im surprised to see a few people agree with the bland opinion.
