I broke the screen on a new Macbook 2 years ago, days after buying it. It was entirely my own fault so not covered by warrantee. I called Apple support and was told £800. Since I bought it with an Amex card, it was covered on that insurance

Yes and no. Yes, in the literal sence. Political ads like "Vote for John Doe; the law and order candidate" when you profile as a conservative is fine. Pushing "We send the EU £350 million a week, let's fund our NHS ins

The office I work in is open plan, which I would imagine is the case for the significant proportion of individual that do their work in an office. There are constant interuptions and it's way too loud. In order to focus, I have to shut

For Facebook at least, it's not about 'ads'. Personalised ads are a distraction. Not being able to track outside of their platform takes away the ability to extend the profile they are building around the user. Their customer

Let's form the issue here using an example from the regulation: A bank holds personal data about its customers. This includes details of each customer’s address, date of birth and mother’s maiden name. The bank uses this information a

Under the GDPR it is permitted to keep PII, resposibly, if that PII is used for conducting normal business, which should ideally be anonymised. Arguably, apps that you have downloaded from an online store fall under this category. You can c

That's not quite the same as selling that information to political 'think tanks' to buy influence in an election.

There has to be be some degree of tying purchases to an account. The real issue here is what is done with the data after it's been collected. Internal use is one thing; such as improving apps etc. When it's used to target individu

Do they have to be mutually exclusive? The goal of design should be to solve a problem as elegantly as possible given the parameters of the problem and the tools/materials available. There is no reason a solution to a problem cannot

Why do they have a right to be on the platform?

Context. Relevant part from your link: Microsoft unlawfully required PC manufacturers to agree to license and install its browser, Internet Explorer, as a condition of obtaining licenses for the Windows 95 operating system.

There is a huge difference here; there was never a legal issue with bundling IE. The problem was that MSFT threatened to withdraw OEM licensing for companies that bundled alternative browsers with Windows. Monopoly wasn't the issue. A

> Why doesn't MacOS have an intuitve way to maximize a window? That's a Microsoft Windows paradigm, copied by Gnome and KDE. Systems 1-8 and OS 9 had no mechanism for making a window full screen, much like LisaOS and Xerox Star

So break 37 years of consistency because Microsoft decided to basically replicate it (9 years after the fact, btw) using a key-chord that was already in use for SIGINT and that Gnome and KDE copied, shortsightedly given their target base

All that article says is that Larry Tesla 'invented' the concept of copying and pasting. That has nothing to do with keyboard shortcuts.

Got nothing to do with it. Computing wasn't invented in 1990. Ctrl-c/v is a essentially a kludge introduced into Windows because the IBM Model M keyboard and similar didn't have a Meta key. It wasn't until Windows 3.1 th

Apple actually worked on the Arm6 architecture along with Acorn in the late 80's/early 90's. In this instance, it's fair to say that they did invent this and argualbly showed interest in the platform before anyone else

Haven't used AutoCAD in anger for a while, but my default rest position on the keyboard is still fingers over Esc, thumb over space. I always preferred using the command line. Not out of some 'power user' power trip, but more
