I credit ESO for helping with my LDR over 7 years. Time on the phone wouldn’t have been the same. With games you are doing things together and sharing experiences.
Leads from AI were never something we considered - begs the question how this will be managed (exploited) in the future and how to ensure it is fair and balanced!?
Could it be something simple like a combination of measures designed to allow it to rotate for an extremely long time:
- Vacuum enclosure (remove air resistance)
- Perfectly balanced wheel (reduce bearing wear)
- Excellent quality bearing / lubrication
- Small electric motor & battery to provide enough force to allow for continuity once started externally
The healthy technology market will force IoT manufacturers to take security seriously. It is not the job of a government to punish a corporation for failing to implement what should now be basic tenets of product quality and suitability.
The loss of customers and reputation should a major security concern arise is a serious market driver and calls for regulation will only ensure that nobody does anything until a multitude of governments agree on a standard. As further food for thought, do you honestly trust the government to make the best choices for your security as a private citizen?
I've been using FreeNAS 9.10 for just under a year now having originally moved from Ubuntu Server. Its feature set, ease of use and stability really is incredible. Can't wait to try Corral out.
As a side issue to the current crop of first-adopter issues (I'll wait till this model is on its second generation - then I'm sure it will be a great piece of kit). I was thinking about the outrage concerning the denomination of 'Pro' on these models - with people crying that they're no longer suitable for 'Pro' use but I think I've come to the conclusion that the 'Pro' user of 5 years ago is a dying breed - Apple sees a future where they no longer exist.
Think about it - music production, video editing, photo editing, graphic design, coding.. These are all things which used to be considered extremely difficult but have now been made easier with fantastic, accessible software. Huge amounts of specialist hardware are no longer necessary or indeed desirable in these fields and the new MacBook Pro recognises this - software development (and other areas) are moving increasingly to the cloud and a huge development machine is no longer a necessity..
I'd suspect that Apple sees the future of its products and services in the cloud and the machines it provides will be slightly different gateways to that future.
Now is an excellent time to set up a custom home router (I'm thinking pfsense to send all traffic through a VPN).
The excuse of "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" is not only intellectually feeble; it permits a gradual erosion of civil liberties that can easily find the average citizen on the wrong side of the law should any agency casually find it convenient for them to be so. It is a snowball.
On that note. What VPN services are recommended and has anyone got some good guides to this?
In related news, Germany has announced requirements that all purchases of any lithium-ion related technologies be accompanied by an identifying arm-band to be worn at all times.
It is quality time in a reduced quality world.
