I know this sounds counter-intuitive but I think Alexa is getting dumber the longer I have an Echo. I was one of the preorders and have had an Echo for a while. I was hoping it would be able to do things like say what local channel a ballgame was on or have a tie-in to my MLBTV account where I could just say “Listen…

People really need to get over it and just upgrade. It’s not going to give your PC cancer, it will never be your precious XP or 7, but it is sure as hell better than 8.

Download the Google Phone APK from APK Mirror and install manually. Should work as long as you have Marshmallow.

We did fly SAAB Drakens before the F-16s. And currently fly English Merlin helicopters (which are crap).

FA commentators would have simply recommended replacing every plane the Danes have with an A10 and calling it day.

I read a lot of blogs and stuff so I know things!

Yes, because there are no other fighter manufacturers in NATO.

they are a member of NATO which makes buying american sort of mandatory

They spent several years and around €20m coming to this decision.

Was a member for nearly 20 years until they all but banned me for returning three items in one year. Expensive Belay Jackets that were manufactured in China and all had horrible zippers. I tested them in the elements and brought them all back in perfect condition with the tags on, three separate times. Last time the…

As someone who works in I.T., I can tell you that the user never gets blamed for being stupid. It’s always the software’s fault for not preventing the user from doing something wrong.

Guy memorized a Discovery episode. Doesn’t mean he actually understands it. Put your dicks back in your pants.

Or tax avoidance of his corporate holdings.

Off topic? So, if he had been at a diner, the only topic allowed would have been food? He’s the PM, no political question is off topic.

I don’t want my PM or any politician to understand Quantum Computing.

If Justin Trudeau can explain quantum computing to a layperson, it gives me hope that someday a layperson can explain basic economics to Justin Trudeau.

I don’t deny any of that; but the point is that NONE of it could be done remotely, which is the far greater concern. Furthermore, by mandating the physical destruction of the device to read its contents, you ensure that 1) Criminals have to bet that the contents of your phone is somehow worth more than the phone…

I won’t go into the details, but the problem here is that Apple has gone to extraordinary lengths to let users securely use a 12-bit (4 digit) key as a proxy for a 256-bit one. The security measures apple took to make this viable are not themselves part of the encryption scheme per-say and they use a complicated…

I actually (kind of) agree with Obama on this one. The argument isn’t entirely about the integrity of encryption, which is legitimately weakened by the presence of any back-doors. It’s a broader issue of device security, which includes other aspects like limiting the speed and number of password attempts. We need to…

FWIW, just because he is open to admitting to seeing both sides of the argument doesn’t mean his statements are dumb or hypocritical.
