Fuzzing a CPU is a neat trick.
You will not... use... the Software or associated documentation;
Pretty sure I'm reading that right. Don't care enough to go find the original license text to see if it makes sense in context.
Yodel was formed when Home Delivery Network acquired DHL. The two couriers that I'd had the most trouble with. DHL once put a note through my door for a failed delivery the day after after I'd walked the ~2 miles to their depot to pick up the parcel.
UPS and DPD have always been reliable in my experience. DPD's website is even quite good. You can see the driver's location on a map.
@Polygeekery Currently it's the only way to play Gears of War 4 on PC. That's the only game I care about on there that isn't also on Steam.
Plus, there's Microsoft Rewards, which gives you points for using Bing which you can spend on Store credit.
@SirTwist The service was (probably) automatic ordering of ink cartridges when the existing ones ran out. Not paying for that does not justify remotely bricking hardware they (probably) paid for.
I have seen Windows 10 reinstall an uninstalled app, but not for a long time. It was probably within the first year of availability.
I have also seen it re-enable the touchscreen on my laptop, which I disabled intentionally because I never used it. It does this after every major update.
I'm kinda in both categories on this one.
My music and videos are meticulously organised, but if I want to listen to a particular song I usually just search for it.
Pictures and documents are less organised. There are some subfolders, but also a lot of loose files. Documents are easily findable with Windows search, but for pictures, especially if it's something from my phone camera, I sometimes have to look through several IMG_[timestamp].jpg, DSC#####.jpg etc. until I find it.
For games I usually use either Windows or Steam's search function.
Then there's my 'Brain' folder, which contains things I'm totally going to get around to dealing with soon.
@pie_flavor said in Samsung, bunch of *****:
OnePlus, on the other hand, delivers.
Unless you were one of their early supporters. They promised Nexus-like updates, but the OnePlus 2 was abandoned on Marshmallow, while it looks like the OnePlus 3 is getting Pie.
A quick Google suggests that the majority of Snapdragon 810 devices got at least Nougat, with some even getting Oreo.
@Gurth I usually spend about 2 minutes a day searching for:
a
aa
aaa
aaaa
etc. while listening to a podcast or something.
I can't count the number of times my dad's called me round to fix his computer, only for it to work perfectly when I get there.
I have a Naga Hex. Six buttons on the side, with a bit in the middle where you rest your thumb.
I have only four of the buttons assigned. Back, forward, refresh, and Konami code.
First do or do not imagine what speech/syntax polarity means, let us. There is no try.
FTFY
I switched to Zen after Sky bought Be. With Be I was getting something like 16 down, 2 up. Sky told me that unless I wanted to pay more for fibre, my upload speed would be halved. No real reason, just Sky don't support ADSL2+ Annex M, and won't make any effort to support it for former Be customers who had it. While I am paying more for fibre with Zen, I don't have to worry about Sky's notoriously bad contention ratios, traffic shaping, fair use policies etc.
Doctors have the questions. U've got the answers
Do not ask your doctor questions.
@weng I have an old MP3 player that has such a recessed button, but I still had to take it apart and short two pins to reset the power circuitry (or something) after it stopped charging.
I don't get the hate for Razer mice. I've had a Naga Hex for about 5 years, and only in the last couple of months the right button has gone a bit wonky. It could probably be fixed with a good clean, but if not, I've got my eye on either the Patriot Viper V570 or the newer Naga Hex.
