Similar experience with Apple access points. After getting fed up with crappy gear which needed a daily restart, had awful range, overheated despite proper ventilation, would in theory allow simultaneous dual band but in practice really

Honestly I find read receipt requests to be in very poor taste, if not a sign of outright hostility, and no, having them by default is not an acceptable excuse, no more than forgetting capslock on would.

You hope really hard that anyone at Google bought an Epson printer, and raises the issue internally. Best if this happens to a manager.

You state absolutely valid facts, but removable batteries carry one huge additional risk: You can now go purchase a no-name cheap explosion-prone chinese one, which your phone manufacturer (barring recent incidents) most likely would have p

Which, given the recent news with Samsung, is now actually a somewhat believable curse.

Uh? Of course not. It will spit out exactly the same hash every time, given the same input. How else would you verify that the password matches ?

According to the article they were indeed hashes, but they were converted to lowercase _before_ hashing. This effectively makes your password case insensitive and probably reduces the % of support tickets (some people might not just click a

Backing up the password manager data (provided you did store all passwords in there, and that you don't forget at least the master password) would _definitely_ help in this scenario.

There is normally still plenty of O2 left in the air, so you are conscious and panic when too much CO2 is around (actually, in your bloodstream rather than around). If a huge amount of CO2 displaces everything else quickly, there is suddenl

I read that the first draft was using a much more reasonable concept - the Matrix needed our brains as CPUs to run itself. No idea if it's true, but certainly a lot less implausible than what came out in the movie.

Yep - (cheap) monitor manufactures do it quite effectively. Many LCDs have less than 8bit per color and do exactly what you suggested.

I wouldn't be so sure this would not happen this millennium as you say. Maybe not this decade, but I certainly imagine sooner or later we will have I.e. a big satellite beaming power directly to a plane (laser or microwave, you choose)
