Are there details for what exactly was leaked? I don't mean to imply that you're wrong if you can't produce a list, and I agree that leaking another person's meeting information to…

We're fighting the wrong battle if we are waiting to see which ways evil devices try to operate and block them instead of demanding evil devices not exist in the first place.
comment
The context is that there are many more ways network access might happen and that "just don't connect it" is short-sighted, naive, and missing the point. You personally might not have t…

I'm no fan of the Daily Mail in particular or their political leanings in general, but I don't think you're being fair here. It was live for 90 whole seconds and you wrote almost 400 wo…

Please. Nobody is unsafe at their cushy office job because somebody looked at their calendar. Those words are cheapened every time they are wielded as political weapons.

I've got bad news for you :)

I wouldn't put anything in my organization's calendar that I wasn't okay being broadcast to the entire organization. Certainly not my medical appointments or other sensitive personal th…

They could do like NVIDIA and switch back and forth between two, three, and four digit model numbers every decade or so as the numbering scheme gets stale. I remember having a GeForce2 MX400, then a T…

"Stalking", "leaking", and "harassing" are all very loaded and subjective terms, and I don't trust any party who wants to lean on them as a substitute for facts.
comment
My understanding of it as an outsider is that Getty Images filed a suit against Google seeking money for their images being displayed in GIS results. They later announced a settlement, and the 'V…

Same reason it's such a cliché for the fourth movie in a franchise to drop the number and have a subtitle like 'Revolution' or 'Revelation' or 'Revenge'. I assume ma…

Google started it with Chrome, and Firefox had to adopt it too or look like an also-ran. More info here: https://news.softpedia.com/news/Firefox-to-Copy-Google-Chrom... Chrome wa…

Are they factually wrong or providing a slanted view in this article?
comment
The way it reads to me is that Google wanted to find a reason to fire these people and found the data thing to be a convenient and plausible excuse.

I ‘vote’ by refusing to work for Google or use their products :)

I honestly find it difficult-to-impossible to trust Google’s side of any employment dispute considering how happy they were to fix wages for years: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr&…

I'm still a member, at least for now, but have been through two price increases: first from USD $79/yr to $99, and again recently from $99 to $119. I'm glad it works for you, but I doub…

Google Image Search has been intentionally crippled ever since the Getty vs Google lawsuit. GIS now seems to prefer showing me 'maxresdefault.jpg' YouTube thumbnails for at least 50% of resu…

I agree, aside from the 'Color' filter. I've found DDG's is very picky about choosing images that are _only_ comprised of your chosen color, instead of predominantly comprised like…

I meant advertising in the sense that GP now thinks of Prime Video as a $0 extra and not Prime as a bucket that contains all these things and is priced accordingly. In reality all Prime customers are …

> because I don’t pay any extra for it with my Prime subscription. I see their advertising is effective. The price of Prime was even increased recently to help fund video production.
comment
> Why would people accept apologies they think are insincere? Societal engine lubricant. There is too little time for every squabble to matter.

Btrfs was included as experimental in CentOS 6 and 7, but removed for CentOS 8.

I can speak to their success, but I have an ArcaOS Personal Edition and am a big fan. It definite seems positioned as a maintenance/upgrade path for existing OS/2 users more than anything el…

> The downside is that the post what community is so much smaller. People were saying the same thing in 2007 when OiNK shut down and What was starting up. The community is not smaller; it's mo…

That’s verging on unacceptable speech in certain circles I’ve been a part of. Watch out or soon you’ll be telling me to clean up my bedroom too /s

The Nexus 7 was infamous for eMMC wear. I remember seeing several articles about it back in The Day.

I also remember using it to create RSS feeds for sites that lacked them.
