What you’re describing is the entire point of all these disparate settings. Security through obscurity. The security, though, is for Windows features not user’s protection.

If minimum wage didn’t work, what metric makes you believe that a similar system but paying those who don’t work, will? This type of thinking truly baffles me. This magic UBI will be minimum wage for the masses that don’t work. How could t

I’ve been using an app called PCalc on Apple’s App Store. The Apple calculator is a frustrating mess to use. PCalc does scientific, engineering, and A to B calculations for most things. I wouldn’t go back to Apple’s calculator app even if A

I believe humans are vastly more stupid than you give them credit for. It's the HN effect. The pool of geniuses here suggests to the reader that the pool of intelligence outside of this microcosm is similar. It's not. Criminals

"How's it different?" is an excellent metric. Why pay you, a person with this as their resume, when I can pay someone with 10 other 'hits' on their resume and their software also does this? Why pay the newb is a gre

If security vendors followed this logic then all an attacker would have to do is look up the error and render the security moot. By leaving the reason vague an attacker has no immediate feedback and no clue how to remedy. I vastly prefer th

OP stated that there are bugs over a decade old at this point, that still exist due to the concerns mentioned. You didn’t address his statement nor his concerns. You avoided that part of the conversation to basically tell him to shut up. Ad

What you’ve described is not an Apple problem but a specific use case scenario that is in direct violation of Apple user agreement. Apple’s policy is one account and other family sharing or child accounts.

I quit drinking over 20 years ago. There’s a trick to it. I don’t discuss my prior habit and I don’t mention quitting. I decline drinking when asked and I do not offer an explanation. Let your no be no. I haven’t experienced any of the soc

The same way you would know that flying a drone, today, without a license is illegal in the USA. We are required, in our society, to keep ourselves informed. Ignorance is no excuse for breaking laws in the US.

I live in FL, that take is FUD from those with vested interests in taxable incomes. FL is a great place to retire, and no state income tax is only one out of 1,000s of reasons to move to FL instead of where you're currently residing. I

The moment a court is asked to make a decision on one of these matters there will then be case-building precedent. What your comment suggests is that there will _never_ be 'solid precedent' which is an inaccurate interpretation.

That’s a cop out answer and hardly the whole truth. Their business model was give away and capture. Give away much of the possible revenue stream in order to lock in students, learning centers, governments, offices, and hobbyists. That met

Using Microsoft products is like waking up and finding someone’s hand down our pants. And, instead of speaking to law enforcement we move into the abuser’s bedroom and stop wearing underwear. Makes perfect sense.

You’ve driven a lot of car models yet you wouldn’t know how to compare handling? That claim seems disingenuous, in order to serve up a point. You most certainly would be able to differentiate and compare. Your point wouldn’t stand though wo
