It is a requirement, although you can now use "e-labels". Such as, a page in the settings that has the FCC information. (IANAL)

I've had it disabled for years, without it reporting home. So far, Microsoft seems to respect group policy and disabled services on Pro edition.

You've always been able to turn it off with group policy and disabling the reporting service. It still bugs me, on principle, that you can't easily disable it even on the Pro edition.

> we count the lethal damage caused to others So, that's a pretty hefty claim. I'd like to see some data. :) A very large chunk of motorcycle accidents are single party (about 25%), the rest involve a car, usually at low speed

Motorcycling is deceptively safe . It's just that the cost of finding out when you fuck around is very high. Safe riding is still more dangerous than being in a car, of course. But, the vast majority of motorcycle injuries are due to

Well, my fix would be to remove the "dick face" art. And, if I was feeling fancy, spend an hour or two applying consistent styles, and trying to apply a linear and progressive story structure to the posts to help people understand

Correct. It's a good assessment and I stand by it.

>Can you blame the guy? IDK if you're trying to get a message out, doing things like that is extremely self-sabotaging to the message.

While the veracity of this is hard to determine, these sort of actions don't surprise me. If you have some of this evidence in writing, a lawyer might be a good place to start. However, what really stood out to me was the design, or la

Navigation isn't the issue, it's people texting.

One start would be to disable smartphones from operating when linked to a car system, massively increase enforcement of smartphone use while driving, and increase penalties. None of that would be popular, but it would be effective.

I vastly prefer on screen keyboards. I'm faster with them, it requires a lighter touch, and the auto correct is good enough. What I miss about blackberries is that they were messaging devices, with OS level integrations around messagin

Not quite - many of their customers are paying $$ a month for medium to large marketing sends. Their biggest customers probably count for 30% of the overall revenue. It's unusual seeing a company that sells goods and services for money

If you're interested in infosec/appsec, DND is a great place to get started. The host packages up stories in a well put-together way, has no qualms about breaking to explain a concept or term, and does it all within an hour.

My speculation is that they're going to heavily rely on U1, and possibly depth-only cameras. Apple has all of the components put into place for you to point at a lamp, flick your finger, and turn it on.

I don't particularly agree with the parent comment, but you are being oddly aggressive over something that is a real problem - communicating things is hard and it's a useful topic to consider in a world that increasingly runs on t

I should add "the average home user 'likely' won't be affected by them". There's a couple of reasons for this, but it's still not a good enough reason to warrant allowing this kinda thing to continue to sh

None of the vulnerabilities are WAN side, which means that the average home user won't be affected by them. However, it also surprises/depresses me that there is no auto-update functionality. Vulnerabilities happen. Architecture a

The Lightning-to-HDMI adapter is also an insane miniaturization. It runs a (very) stripped down version of iOS/darwin (not sure what apple counts it as) that is loaded in about a second when you plug in the phone, establishes a network

I've been riding for a long time. I definitely spent effort understanding risks and safety. Motorcycle fatalities are mostly similar to factors that cause car fatalities, but extremely exacerbated. For example, about 40% of motorcycle

Using color to describe information ranges is an excellent way to add a passive dimension of information, and allow people to screen out inferior choices. "Dimming" the entire screen on a choice change is extremely visually distra

I guess I meant desktop web vs mobile web. And yeah, that's how I use it, through DDG. It's visually low density (in a bad way), and satellite view is terribly slow. Among other things. But I do appreciate that they're trying

I bought a new high end thinkpad (i forget, it was a few years ago). The display was clearly defective, serious dark spots. Lenovo held a firm line that I would have to send it in and wait 3 weeks for a replacement. New out of the box. They
