I think OP's point was that Microsoft and HP have purchased a bunch of not-so-great companies.

Totally. All crypto concerns aside--though I am on the side of the fence that says, while Signal is clearly superior, MTProto still hasn't really been cracked, and WhatsApp's server-side key reset is a bigger deal--the UX for Tele

Sorry if this is a little blunt, but why do you stay? That sounds horrible. Unless there's other major benefits to the job, I'd be looking around for new work as soon as I heard that I'd be required to check mail on vacation.

True, but my parents taught me very early on that this is the case. Same with ads on childrens' TV channels. Did I go through a phase, like most kids, of wanting and begging for stuff at the store? Of course, but they never caved. Depe

Yeah, you'd have to manually put your private keys onto your computer from your phone.

Sorry if this is a super naive/dumb question, but why wouldn't I simply write a "build" script that copies files out of my dotfile repo to where they're supposed to go?

I don't understand this. Do you mean "short-term profitability is not a concern"? My take was that DistroKid is already taking bare minimum profits, so even if someone enters the market with cash to burn, they're only fi

I'd imagine that was a Ballmer-era policy. I would be interested to see if there's anything like that coming out of Nadella's Microsoft (keeping in mind that Nadella's Microsoft hired the guy behind Mono).

As someone who is only just finding out about all this, I don't fully understand why the cab drivers stopped picking people up. I think the fact that people were using Uber (and Lyft) to leave the airport means they needed to (which is

Yeah, I had to create my account with my "real number", and because I don't give that one out, I have to initiate chats with everyone on Telegram.

I was a bit bummed to not see Windows support either...especially when there's a screenshot showing how to install on Windows on the download page. I registered for an account thinking that an auto-download had already started, so I wa

Yeah, but that's not how the exploit would work. If you read the article, the "backdoor" is that WhatsApp could "generate" a new private key without your knowledge. Except that instead of generating a key, they&#x27

The title is a bit clickbait-y. From what I gathered, they really mean 80% of active users which is probably still too high, but I think it's probably Snapchat's year to peel off A LOT of active users from Facebook. Not that it&#x

Teams even works as a fully-functional (i.e. chat, voice, video, groups) replacement client for Skype for Business. In my opinion, it works much better as a SFB client; hoping it eventually just takes over SFB.

Except that an O365 subscription includes the native apps, so the crappy webapp stuff is just a free bonus for enterprises staying on the good native stuff.

Developer mode is just a place for MS to stash new beta features so they can be tried out for a longer period of time than Insider Rings are allowed. I'm willing to bet it'll be default in another release or two w/out dev mod

Yeah, but what if you're 25, you live alone, you make more money than you know what to do with (on account of spending 90% of your daily time at your high-tech job), and every time you cook for yourself half of your food goes bad or yo

No, actually. Ctrl+V and Ctrl+C are implemented in PSReadline, but those features have also been added to the Windows 10 console host (i.e. they work with cmd.exe). The other big one for me that's been added to the console host is &quo

Any ideas for how a problem like that can be solved? User feedback on a closed-source project at massive scale?
