If it's in the DSP it may not need to be an app that runs the exploit. Sounds like any malicious audio or video file could do it. Could be something delivered via a streaming site, email, audio embedded in a webpage, etc. This sounds l

I've been using Firefox since it was called Phoenix and I used Mozilla before that. I'm pretty annoyed with Firefox lately. There's the pocket junk, the significantly worse battery life, the DOH stuff really pisses me off. Ho

I believe it was Pompeo who recently said that. It's about right for some of the things going on lately. Any software from China or Russia falls into that category for me. Some other places would too if it was more common to see mainst

But it's not owned by a Chinese company. Opera is and that makes me question how trustworthy it is. There hasn't been evidence to suggest it's not, but I'm not comfortable running it on my machines.

It's borderline suicidal where I live because quite a few houses have guns in them. Every house on my street does. It still happens. I wouldn't say it's often because car break-ins and empty house burglaries are much more com

I have. A couple guys came into the house late at night while I was in bed. I was upstairs and they were downstairs. I didn't have a means to escape. Cops can't help in that situation. I confronted them at the stairs and the whole

That's a distortion of what I said. If you want to have a debate about it, at least be intellectually honest.

When was there competition in the office suite space? In the early 90's? Or the law firms that continued to use a stagnating WordPerfect for way too long after everyone else standardized on MS Office? I entered computing at a time when

There are so many more choices than there were 20 years ago. Microsoft makes a kick ass office suite. There's nothing monopolistic about it. They've been in this game longer than anyone and that's reflected in the feature set

Do you think it would be right for the government to fund a competitor to an American business? Wouldn't it make sense for the government to just use or license Libre Office if it was good enough to meet their needs?

Their mistake is they're trying to do something that all the other established players could essentially replicate overnight. Their big innovation is the shows are shorter? On top of it, their execution is poor. They put out the standa

by jm4 6y ago
It's not really worthy of funding anymore. Certainly not by the government. It's just not competitive with other options. I used to be a longtime Libre Office user. Back then, MS Office was expensive and only available on Windows.

Not at all. The book is worth reading though. The 1984 movie is garbage and doesn't do the source material any justice.

A lot of misinformed generalizations here. I work for a firm where staff took 20% pay cuts, partners took much larger cuts and the principals likely will not be paid at all this year. I had to lay off a dozen people personally. Other firms

Definitely rewriting history to say they started it, but it was the nail in the coffin for Flash. Many developers hated Flash by then and were advocating against it. Although it was starting to decline, the marketing people and some wannabe

How is it political to accept business from a federal agency? One could argue it’s more political to pick and choose which federal agency to work for - or whether to do it at all - based on whether you agree with that agency’s mission. Thi

That's beside the point and not constructive to the discussion here. Zoom is behaving badly and a senator did send a letter. The guy is doing the job he is supposed to be doing on our behalf. We don't need to call him out for some

I don't. Whether or not you agree with this gross oversimplification is going to depend on your worldview, your experience and whether you feel disenfranchised by the system. It has nuggets of truth - the police do step in to handle vi

BS. Do you think for a second some Tesla engineer or Elon Musk himself could design the most important control panel on a spaceship to look pretty without the support of the people who have to use it? If the astronauts or NASA engineers wer

I've been using it at my daily driver since 2010. At first, I stuck with it because it wasn't Google. I noticed right away that it would turn up different results from what I came to expect at Google. Then I noticed that, although

That's their problem, not mine. My concern as an owner is whether I could reasonably sell or trade the car for a new one after I drive it 3-6 years and that's been satisfied. The point where it's difficult to unload a used Te

Sure, the service network is a weakness, but it's partially mitigated by the fact that there's far less service for which you need to return to Tesla than there is with other cars. In practice, it's just not a major concern b

I drive the Tesla 50-120 miles a day depending on what I’m doing that day. I mostly got it for the autopilot and then loved everything else after the fact. Whatever flaws autopilot has, it’s life changing if you have to spend a lot of time

It ends up on a used lot, at an auction, shipped overseas or in a junk yard depending on how long I drove it and what kind of shape it’s in. But I don’t care. The next owner isn’t my problem and I’m not going to give it a second thought. Th

True, but I won’t own the car in 10 years so I don’t care. I’m not discounting your point or anyone else’s on merit. What I’m getting at is that it’s a minority position and most people don’t care. How many 10 year old cars do you see out o

by jm4 6y ago
But my point is that most people don’t care. Certainly the ones who buy a Tesla don’t. This is like arguing that the iPhone is a bad phone because it doesn’t have a removable battery. For some, that’s a real issue. It may have been somewhat

Personally, I’d rather have $5k taken off the purchase price. I got 7500 free supercharger miles with mine and most of them are going to expire. I go on some road trips and use super chargers, but most of the time you’re charging at home. Y

There is hardly any maintenance on them. I had a minor wind noise issue when I first got it that they took care of in a couple hours. Since then, it’s been washer fluid and tires. The kinds of routine maintenance and repair items you typica

The marketplace is the reason I don’t use Walmart. The marketplace and commingled stock is Amazon’s biggest problem and Walmart appears to be playing catch-up rather than forging their own path. We don’t need another Amazon. I’ve been using
