Agree entirely. I've learned this over the last few years.

No - that's purely a form of idealism. At best you'll get an apology from the police which isn't worth the effort.

Sounds like Nottingham in the UK's bullshit crime statistics. "Arrests fallen! Crime rates lower than ever!" Actually people just do it vigilante style or don't bother reporting it because the police are fucking useless.

It's not a miracle or a hack. Modems were sound bits of engineering and were based on international standards that allowed them to interoperate with each other properly. They had clearly defined electrical and protocol standards. They

No one deserves to be a victim but it certainly doesn't stop people finding a large source of victims. Agree with you and the OP.

It's even worse than this. They actively pay compliance companies to make their criminal activity look legitimate enough to pass audits or find out where they can ship it to that has a more favourable legal environment. I'm disgus

Yes they have. Marketing. Which doesn't fairly represent needs.

It's not more choice, as the only outcome is choosing which garden you are slowly walled into. Gaining market share is the desired outcome only as the shareholders need to see growth. The innovation stops when you are captive. We all l

Yes but you can't read them without getting eyestrain. I have perhaps three terminal windows open max and use cwm. I've had old Dell 15" 1600x1200 laptops which aren't even near to that and that was virtually unusable. I

Yes that would. Apple still have to follow global supply and demand even if they do a lot of demanding. If there was a shortage of an audio interface, DAC or filter IC then it's inevitable that an alternative will be sourced to avoid f

These things all seem like risky hacks to me. It only takes a single "new minor revision" of the iPhone with slightly different electrical characteristics to scupper these devices. I'd rather pay through the nose and get some

That is correct. I wouldn't want it any other way. Two-factor or not,a compromised google account is a lot of eggs in one basket. Normal remote desktop is available to my desktop machine via authenticating with the firewall first. It d

Anything that isn't a ChromeBook that you can install either windows or Linux on be it new or second hand. I'd suggest a second hand ThinkPad T series as that can definitely be stood on.

No. The screens are fine. Your expectation is exceedingly high. It doesn't make much of a difference at 2 feet away. This is marketing carry over from high PPI displays on mobile devices where it does make a difference.

Remote assistance requires no configuration. It doesn't do two factor authentication though. I have PuTTY which is pretty good at remotely controlling my OpenBSD machines. I don't use OSX. That is correct. Nothing at all happened.

No. I can point you to one that weighs 2.5x that, barely manages 4 hours, has a rotating disk and is fairly quiet for that price. But my printer will work with it so that makes it infinitely more valuable. And I don't have to sign in t

There are also other, far superior laptops that run Ubuntu for the same money.
409.
by csmuk 13y ago
Because you are promoting the product by contributing to sales figures and because far superior computers can be purchased for very little money. A cheap lenovo laptop can be had for the same price as a basic chromebook in the UK with a lar

It doesn't work with my dye sub printer or HP network laser. I tried. Documents never arrive at the printer. Windows has had remote desktop since 1997. It's had remote assistance since 2002. I've spent 7 hours a day, 5 days a

Crouton is a defeatist crutch, not a solution for every day use. If you're using Crouton, you are denying yourself the flexibility of a proper computer artificially. It's like buying a Prius and sticking a big exhaust and a spoile

by csmuk 13y ago
I wouldn't. I'd expect it to work. This is 2013, not the pre-GDI printer fragmentation nightmare of the 80's.
413.
by csmuk 13y ago
It's uncomfortable because it's wrong and there is big resistance. I am part of that resistance. The transition from the fragmented computer market in the 80's brought relief via standardisation into the clone PC and the rise

Conversely and factually rather than merely anecdotal, my Brother laser printer, Canon dye sub and big HP laser printers don't work if you plug them into a chromebook. Nor will it print to my print server. Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and OSX wor

by csmuk 13y ago
I disagree and find this is just another gushing fanboy defending fandom. Chromebooks are fine for the 80% case like normal PCs but that last 20% is impossible unlike normal PCs. There are certain things that you just cannot do. It is disin

Why? All it does is make it go faster.

by csmuk 13y ago
Or perhaps it's just easier to find the people you want?

by csmuk 13y ago
Thanks for making it even more obvious :)

We have contacted Atlassian support many times and they have been great. The real problem is that the defects we raise shouldn't exist. They are just crap engineering problems. The result every time is upgrade which means firing up a n
