Do you think that the GDPR has really changed anything for either Facebook or its users? Do you think that anything changed in the way data is being handled? All i see is a bunch of highly paid law firms writing up 200 additional pages in terms and conditions to shield the company, but nothing really changed as far as daily business is concerned.
This sums up EU laws in a nutshell.
As if a brand name, logo and website were not enough, even the white paper title is cringy clickbait: "Efail: Breaking S/MIME and OpenPGP Email Encryption using
Exfiltration Channels".
OpenPGP is not broken. Nothing in your paper has anything to do with OpenPGP. This is simply spreading overblown FUD for your 15 minutes of mainstream media fame.
> muh russian hackers
This nonsense is really getting old
Others in this thread have suggested that no physical presence is required.
Minor updates, security patches etc. via the App Store usually work just fine. Major OS updates (like going from El Capitan to Sierra) are a pain in the a. But there is no guarantee for any of this, as a rule of thumb: the closer you are to "original" hardware, the less problems you will experience.
The current real Mac Pro actually has two ethernet ports too. There are a number of ways this could be useful.
Number one would obviously be to connect to two different networks. It could also be useful in a scenario where the machine is used as a server and you want a semi-redundant backup network line. It could also be used to directly connect to a NAS box via Ethernet.
An iPad can't play regular MP4/H264 videos by default?
Sweet, thanks for the link, will give it a try after i got everything backed up :)
What encryption are you using? I was under the impression that FV2 (or any other full disk encryption solution) does not work on a Hackintosh
Care to elaborate what some of the pain points are?
> It teaches you how to set up ES6, Babel, Gulp, ESLint, React, Redux, Webpack, Immutable, Mocha, Chai, Sinon, and Flow.
Stopped reading right here.
yay, more adapters.
By the time you purchased all the adapters you need you have dropped another $100
Unfortunately Windows is not an option (for me) and Desktop Linux in 2016 can still be a huge pain in the ass. I hear good things about the Dell XPS 13" Developer Edition (shipping with Ubuntu), maybe i will give that a try at same point.
So yeah, at the end of the day i probably will still buy the rMBP. There is no alternative at this point. But i am not happy with the direction Apple is going. Cutting ports, selling useless stupid gimmicks for $300 price bump instead of aiming for a better price/value. Not good.
I don't get it.
The entire presentation was absolutely cringeworthy. The touch bar is a stupid gimmick being sold for a $300 price bump. Any serious developer, video editor or audio engineer knows all his shortcuts already and simply does not want to look down on his keyboard. The entire idea is flawed to begin with.
I really would not care if they put this on their toy-macs (the 12" "Macbook" or the "Air). Go ahead. But for the love of god, just leave one machine for people that use their Macs as a serious, professional everyday work tool
They can't kill it. Someone (we) has to continue making all those fancy, shinny, shitty little $1.99 apps.
> I don’t understand how 43% of the country supports Trump. But I’d like to find out.
This is the attitude we need. Not the name calling and shaming. Instead, go grab a beer together, talk about the issues, agree to disagree and in 9 out of 10 cases you will usually find out the person voting for $theOtherCandidate isn't a huge asshole and probably cares about other people just as much as you do.
Yup. Sadly. The hassle to get a fully working setup is too much, even for technical people.
They are going in the right direction but i feel like they still have a long way to go before people in the Linux/OSX world start taking C# seriously and we see actual products.
I run a number of 1%-write, 99%-read web apps with decent traffic on SQLite. Works like a charm. It is low maintenance and creating a "backup" is simply copying the file.
Amazing how Lenovo managed to turn "Thinkpad", a respected and loved brand name, into shit within just a few years.
> I've worked in other European countries without any problems (I'm from one of the ex-Soviet states)
Immigration in Switzerland is much different than in EU-member states.
iTunes is beyond hopeless at this point. It needs a full rewrite, possibly split into multiple apps.
Mine got stuck serveral times too. Was alway able to fix it with a toothpick.
I don't get it. They have the Macbook Air and the "Macbook" (12") that target the casual-ish consumer-ish market for people that want a fancy, shiny Facebook machine. So why do they have to dumb down the Macbook Pro. It is used, as the name suggests, by professionals.
Mixing via a 3.5mm headphone jack is not "pro audio"
If you don't break it, that is (or you run into issues after the warranty is over)
As for the AirPods: $159 for something that i will most likely lose within the first 3 months? Nope, not buying it. Also, the battery life will be probably be cut in half after 2 years usage or so.
> Housing market is crazy, you definitely have to buy an apartment and be willing to make a big investment in this, renting is basically not an option.
Care to elaborate?
