They put in a lot of effort to prevent you from deleting the main executable (you the user that is, malware can probably delete it just fine using the usual methods) however one day I discovered you can delete the .dll files from its folder and it no longer runs, and Windows does not do anything to try and fix it.
We had a microwave in the office that auto started based on whatever number you pressed. If you wanted to type in 45 seconds, you would press 4 and it would instantly start running with 4 minutes on the timer. Everyone just pressed the "+30 seconds button" until it was close to the time they wanted and then stopped it manually to get it more precise.
If I remember right the solution was to press "Cook Power" then type in the number of seconds. There was nothing on the microwave to explain this, I had to look it up online.
Our microwaves rotary encoder behind the knob is messed up and as opposed to fixing it (you have to turn it REAL slow or it'll jump really fast forwards in time or backwards all over the place) we have just used the +30 seconds for 4 ish years.
I mean, almost certainly you press "cook time", not "cook power" to set the time, but other than that this is exactly how every single non-dial microwave I have ever used works.
Abandon its use and switch to what? For example with wireless service I'm pretty sure the only alternative to AT&T FirstNet is Verizon Frontline, and using Frontline exclusively would mean areas without good coverage would suffer.
There are still four distinct national wireless networks (soon to be consolidated/reduced to three I think), each with their strengths and weaknesses, but if the government needs their own for national security reasons they should get one. No single for-profit company, which could go out of business at any time and for any reason, should be able to put the security of the entire USA and it's critical government services at risk. Too big to fail means too big to exist.
The government decided building their own cellular network was too expensive, so they paid AT&T to build FirstNet atop the existing network and gave AT&T band 14 spectrum to do that.
All users of both AT&T and FirstNet get access to a much larger pool of wireless bandwidth, resulting in faster speeds for everyone involved, and a much lower cost to build out a network dedicated to first responders. In the event of crisis, FirstNet will get priority on the band 14 spectrum.
Dish is not a viable provider todau and didn't exist in 2016 when FirstNet went out to bid.
Verizon is unwilling to densify their suburban and rural networks to meet the coverage requirements, so they passed on bidding for FirstNet.
T-Mobile felt FirstNet was too big a lift when they didn't have clarity on the 600Mhz spectrum auction (which wrapped up in 2017) nor the rural coverage and suburban density they have today.
As far as I've seen AT&T and Verizon are the only ones getting contracts, never T-Mobile or US Cellular.
I personally have seen much greater damage from other contractor's failures (Microsoft, Oracle, etc.) than AT&T or Verizon could cause. When you've suddenly lost email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, the phone is as useless as the computer.
But the sad reality I've experienced is that a fiber seeking backhoe hundreds of miles away cripples half your network and Lumen insists there is nothing that can be done to prevent this. And everyone just goes along with this.
If they just seize it, it will typically be returned at some point. If they decide it's subject to forfeiture, it is now their property. You can contest this with the forfeiture department but I guess if they decide the item is guilty of a crime or other excuses to keep it there's nothing you can do.
That's right. It will be United States v. Some Person's Yubikey. And you can hire it a lawyer if you want, because they will NOT give it a public defender. Massive violation of Constitutional rights if you ask me.
The Macintosh would disable any interrupts that were not level 4 or higher when accessing the floppy disk to prevent data loss. This was basically everything other than the programmers switch. It did however have a check to see if the serial port received data while it was busy with the floppy disk so that could be serviced before a buffer overrun occurs.
DJI and Insta360 are starting to become prominent in the action camera market with better marketing tactics (e.g. providing cameras to influencers/sponsorships).
That's exactly the 2 brands I wanted to mentioned but didn't to not appear as shilling. I was going to get the DJI as it seems like the better choice until finding out it's useless unless I side-load install the app. I got the insta360 ace pro instead. The non-pro ace looks attractive at $100 less, but the 1" vs. 1/2" sensor in reviews seems like it was actually worth the $100 difference. DM me if you like to know how I like it after using it.
So what's the alternative then? Because when developers uncheck this box I have to go through the trouble of decrypting the IPA and sideloading it, and I usually just end up not bothering to use the app at all.
I believe Patreon's fees are a percentage of the total cost. i.e. if the payment is $10 and Patreon takes 10%, they'll still get $1, Apple get's $3, and the creator gets $6.
I'm not sure how Patreon will explain things to their creators, but no matter what the effect will be similar; about 30% less income for Patreon and creators alike.
According to App Store rules, you're not allowed to disclose the App Store fee to users. So Patreon is not allowed to explain to users that 30% is going to Apple, nor to explain that there are other options. I'm not sure if Apple regulates messaging to creators as well.
