These are common requirements for a corporate phone. Remote wipe is provided by both Android and iPhone iirc even to end users. A stock android phone, a knowledgeable user could already remove a bunch of stock apps.

I was an employee in Windows on the date of that email. I left a few months later. Note that the email itself doesn't say "windev". It says "Windows" a bunch of times. If I'm stretching this "windev"

As a former MS employee some time ago I don't think I ever heard "windev". It was always referred to as "Windows". Though there were a lot of different groups within that, so sometimes you'd hear an initialism

I think people tend to think too much in terms of black and white. Jaded cynicism is sometimes a good response, and sometimes less so, and other times won't make too much of a difference or can go either way. The trick is to know how t

And yet when we have "bike lanes" like this, people complain that it's too much, too intrusive, ruins local business, or should be a parking spot or lane for deliveries.

You are just arguing to argue, man. My words are NOT inconsistent, the inconsistency is you and you reading them in a combative fashion. You don't actually know what you are talking about and you project your own lack of knowledge onto

> And the idea that there's less regional variation in Spanish than English is not plausible. I didn't say there was not variation. I said there was less of a specific type. Specifically there are not phonemic vowel variations

by asveikau 2y ago
You assume too much. I'm talking about languages I'm fluent in, can read and write, etc. You'd have to be insane to think that, for example, IPA for Spanish isn't easier than IPA for English vowels. In contrast to Englis

by asveikau 2y ago
I've always found IPA to be deeply confusing for English, because different accents have different historical vowel mergers, so I am never sure about vowels. And I think linguists aren't always sure about them either. IIRC, I saw

by asveikau 2y ago
The idea that "shore" and "sure" are pronounced "almost identically" would depend pretty heavily on your accent. The vowel is pretty different to me. Also, the matches for "sorI" and "sorY"

Unrelated to WinCE, WinPE is the version of the NT kernel that the Windows setup DVD or netboot installer uses, since Vista and higher. You could probably build a really nice UI atop of it if one were so inclined. To prevent people from doi

I know it's not the Apple approach, I'm just pointing out an interpretation that it isn't particularly focused on end user needs in this area. I feel like it's mostly an attitude about where to focus engineering resource

Old phones no, but old apps yes. If a developer has abandoned an app and hasn't been investing in the update treadmill, but end users still care about it, that can make people feel negatively about Apple.

My opener broke a few months ago, maybe 10+ year old model that I previously had on zwave via GoControl. I just got a cheap homedepot Chamberlain to replace it and got ratgdo. Works much better than my old zwave solution.

In the US we colloquially call that "career staff". The people at the top are usually political employees, but rank and file will typically stay from one administration to the next. A big part of the "project 2025" idea

execve(2) and friends allow you to specify a new processes's environment variables. How Java may choose to expose that I don't know. Assuming they do, that is all a shell needs. You do not strictly need to call setenv(3) to change

His voice sounds a bit higher pitched than the famous 90s recordings. I wonder if that's a product of the original recording equipment or format used to store it, or something like that.

Encarta 98 has to be 32 bit... Win16 was pretty dead for new products by that time. Though it's conceivable that an installer could start off with 16 bit code to show an error message that you need Windows 95 ... Edit: it seems Encarta

I've heard of that in Europe for more than a decade, and started hearing it in San Francisco for about 2-3 years. The usual "SF is a hellhole" complainers act like it's unique to here.
