I bet it's some bobbins hand-rolled protection (e.g. you can't set the OS clock forward or back to read messages you shouldn't or something), in which case it would be more of a service for everyone if they could set up their own time server and spam that.
It will be called AI, but it will really be 'OK bank, what were my last five transactions?' and 'OK bank, I've had my cards stolen'. This is not AI, just voice recognition bolted on to the systems they've already got.
When it can handle, 'OK bank, tell me the best combination of products which pay the highest interest based on my financial history' (and really handle it, not just recommend whatever they're flogging at the moment) then we might begin to start thinking about calling it AI.
But now there's a general all-purpose Internet banhammer, and when you've got a banhammer everything looks like a nail, MPs sitting in committees can come up with the same cheap all-purpose solution for anorexia/bulimia, bullying, and so on. But will any of societies' ills be fixed?
I'm sure a nice shiny clean Internet (for people who don't know what a small ISP or a VPN is) will have the kind of success at tackling homelessness as moving the homeless on does.
A device running on a battery is covered by your main home licence. You have no main home licence so it's not covered if you use it to watch live TV via any transmission method or use iPlayer.
Taken from:
Students (scroll down and click on "Who doesn't need a TV Licence?" too).
On the other hand if they had put London on the MUXes without a regional feed and all hell would have broken loose (metropolitan elite, etc... etc...).
If the BBC were monopolizing MUXes with regional feeds then all hell would also have broken loose (special treatment for the BBC, etc... etc...).
Is changing over to SD so difficult if you want regional news?
Shame Apple's security page doesn't mention it.
So I don't know if 10.12.2 has a bundled EFI update meaning you have to install the OS update to get the EFI update, you can't decide to skip it and install a later combo update as you won't get the EFI update with that.
16GB is the max as the Intel chipset limits LPDDR3E memory to 16GB. If they were to go with 32GB then it would have to be DDR4 memory which uses more power. They want longer battery life so their OS can hog it.
Second point - how would the CPU address e.g. 512GB/1TB of SSD?
If it's like Sierra on my 2012 MacBook Pro, it uses it up displaying the spinning wheel. It's like Windows 3.1 all over a-fucking-gain.
Ye gods, why did I upgrade? You can tell they don't know how to do OSes any more, just make a new kext with the latest nVidia/AMD/Intel reference drivers and layer more and more iOS-style graphic effects on top.
Spread the knowledge when the training budget has been blown on jollies in other countries by those who are always somehow first in the queue and the grunts can't even set up internal workshops in the same office because those hours aren't charged to an end client?
Then people complain about mediocre software.
Apparently his word salad is a good way to get followers... It doesn't say much, it seems to suggest he's on the same side as the listeners, and it lets listeners fill in the blanks with anything they want mentally, which will be something they want to hear but Trump didn't say.
Website operators would not be required to display notices asking users to consent to the use of cookies for behavioural advertising purposes if the privacy settings on users' web browsers are already configured in a way which signals that consent, according to the proposals, it said.
So that means removal of the cookie notices, because servers can't query client settings.
It also means huge, "please allow us to set your cookies" notices if servers set a cookie and later find it's not there... like if you're running an ad blocker.
Yeah... not sure if being badgered into accepting Revcontent and Taboola clickbait crap is an improvement.
And telecos can get in on all that too it seems.
You'd expect Luke would have been said, "Oh God, the fuckers burnt my aunt and uncle and dumped them outside the house! Why God, why?!" at least once. Or Leia is left with PTSD and flashbacks after being shut in a room with the floating needle drone and Vader and tortured.
They didn't really address the violence.
