  1. Do you really want to gamble on a component that could take out all the other components you bought?
  2. ;_;7 goodnight sweet prince
  3. Based on what was quoted in the OP's post: It sounds like an automated system assumed this was the case, without scanning the content to determine that this was actually the case. This is such a bad move. I'm pretty sure this is all driven by GDPR.
  4. No, but it's generally frowned upon in the work place, which is where the article says they were doing it. You know, unless you're a hooker.
  5. I mean that's not necessarily true. In fact, it's probable that most strikes are in fact legitimate. The problem is that when they are not legitimate, like in the case with Kyle, there is not much recourse. Fortunately, he has a big enough channel and the community rallied hard enough (or that the strike was withdrawn by the verge, though I still have doubt about that) that it was reversed quickly. There are smaller channels that these strikes happen to, for either no reason or for illegitimate reasons (like extortion) that this can absolutely cripple. While it would be very difficult to manually go through all the copyright stricken material, you would think YT would have the man power to at least respond to reasonable protest in a timely manner with an explanation that makes sense.
  6. That's the thing though, a significant amount of work that modern farming equipment does is automated now and controlled by the JD software. The best way I could demonstrate an analog would be an office copy printer. If you went back to using the older tractors and other farming equipment, you're going from printing something from a computer to using a typewriter and your efficiency will suffer significantly.
  7. I agree that it's useless but it's a marketing gimmick. The mind set is anything to get a leg up on the competition. Although Apple seems to be taking away features these days more than they are adding them.
  8. I don't really understand how this would be Samsung's fault? This is just the current trend in general with tech. If Samsung didn't do it Apple would or some other manufacturer would beat them to it.
  9. Until they decide you are the terrorist.
  10. Not so fast, citizen, don't think too hard about this. It would be a shame if we made thinking about thought crimes *puts on shades* a crime.
  11. Not in the US. In the US you can't pull someone over just to make sure they have a license. There's case law on it. Now, if the police officer runs the plate and it comes back that the owner has a suspended license, then you could pull them over via probable cause, but you can't just stop people without probable cause, which is why DWI checkpoints should be illegal, but there's a litany of case law from both the state and federal level that contradict each other and most states just don't give a f and do it anyway (like New York).
  12. Yeah, not the best way to market your game. I did buy BFV though. It's fun, I like it more than BF1. Also I don't really see the point of a battle royale mode for the type of game it is... Also, since they just released APEX Legends, why would Dice want to compete with Respawn for battle royale players, especially considering APEX Legends is free...? Edit: Another thought occurred to me. Investors may be down on EA since a lot of their revenue stream is loot boxes...which more and more countries are trying to regulate or ban and in general its a ***** business practice for the consumer.
  13. Bad ones for Russians with iphones and potentially other manufacturers if they decide to do follow apple. Also bad because other regimes may request this from Apple as well. This would also affect people who know people that live in Russia and message them as the privacy of their messages would also be compromised. Overall, I can't believe a company that touts itself as the privacy option would agree to do this. Just goes to show the Apple drones that you can't trust a corporation.
  14. I don't trust the US Supreme Court to rule on this in a manner that will end well. I doubt any of the justices serving even know what coding is or could possibly understand the ubiquity and ease of access to all this information.
  15. It sounds like this was Oklahoma's fault, not the FBIs. Oklahoma just happened to have FBI files on their server.
  16. Personally, I view this as another way for the government to tax large companies. That's why they've only really gone after Google and Facebook.
  17. They both look expensive. I'll stick with my Moto G5 plus thank you.
  18. I don't think you understood what I meant. The law says this: "A service provider that intentionally or knowingly fails to provide notice to a consumer and the Division may be subject to a civil fine up to $10,000." So my point being, if it is somehow determined a company didn't provide adequate notice, the fine would be, from how I'm reading it, is $10k per instance of no notification, which would be financially devastating. This doesn't have anything to do with the FCC or Trump.
  19. The law says they could be fined $10k. Is that $10k per instance? That could get expensive fast.
