Well, the install base is way bigger for Android, and the general state of patching in 2019 is far more frequent than it was when older platforms were operating.

Audi has this kind of feedback on their newer touchscreens

Well, to koboll's point, "quite a few Netflix original shows" has to be taken in the context of the volume of original content they have:

https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/originals/ lists nearly 1,000 movies and shows

I really love how Hulu's current web interface makes it really easy to toggle Autoplay on/off. I hate how Netflix makes me search through account menus.

Hulu's current interface definitely isn't perfect, but I love the convenient toggle for Autoplay; and I love being able to search for episodes by name. As a fan of Seinfeld and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I can remember an episode's name waaayyy more easily than I can remember its season/episode number

Maybe it's just in my head, but I feel like Netflix doesn't care what I want or think anymore. I feel like they've taken the position that their metrics and projections know better than I do.

Very good points. I'd like to add that Amazon began in a time when the typical person didn't trust ANY online shopping options. To my recollection, Amazon and eBay were the two biggest players that found ways to give people confidence that they could safely shop online.

It has four Thunderbolt 3 connectors. Thunderbolt 3 features DisplayPort 1.2

You could try checking outlet.dell.com and filtering by 6th gen CPUs. You'll have to get your Win7 install media and key separately, though.

Is there a way to create/manage an NTFS junction other than CLI?

I disable web search and Cortana, and it makes all the difference in the world for Win key + type the first few characters of an app:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search]
    "ConnectedSearchUseWeb"=dword:00000000
    "AllowCortana"=dword:00000000

I won't try to defend their execution, but I think they're trying to solve a legitimate issue. It's really confusing to an end-user if they see two Documents folders.

And I'm certain that I've personally encountered instances where both Documents folders had the Documents special folder icon (though I'm not sure if I've seen this on Win10, specifically)

How does he profit from that?

But everyone involved is entering the information into the same IBM software front-end ("Food Trust")... So all players involved are using the same front-end and the same back-end, and only Walmart & IBM have the ability to change anything. How does a blockchain benefit anyone (other than IBM) in this situation?

Not just that--quality too. Enjoying your 4K computer screen? And you're paying for the highest-tier Netflix subscription to get 4K content? Well, unless you're using Microsoft Edge, you're capped at 720.

"“I’ve gotten a lot of flak for using a mono-spaced font (Courier New) in the study,” said Johnson."

The whole damn point of "use one space after periods" was "...because we're using proportional fonts now"

Does anyone have any idea how to actually do that? How do I prove that a given user actively checked a box?

I know I won't reliably remember to log out of Facebook, so I just limit my fb use to whatever my backup browser is.

Yes, tablet sales have declined while 2-in-1 sales have risen. That's why I qualified that the success of these devices is probably going to be determined by where the price levels off for them.

The way Arstechnica phrased that made me think that Best Buy was missing from a list of several other brick-and-mortar chains--Microsoft Stores are the only brick-and-mortar stores in the USA that have been announced[1].

"Beginning this calendar quarter, these Always Connected PCs are expected to be available online and hitting store shelves at the following leading retailers:

* U.S.A – Amazon.com, Microsoft Stores"

Oh, totally. I think these LTE ARM Windows devices are neat; I don't think they're for me, though.

They say x86 apps will run under emulation. I've got no clue how well that will work in practice, though.

Edit: found this ARM compatibility chart in the zdnet article

https://zdnet3.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2018/02/19/b2c823f6-76...

And I get that you use x64 Windows for the compatibility, but this isn't supposed to replace that Windows. This is a product for an entirely different market: the market for tablets and netbooks.

It will have the Windows Store apps. Apps are commodities for the bulk of the market; users are attached to the functionality.

Windows 10S on ARM w/ built-in LTE? Depending on where the price levels off with these things, I think they could realistically carve a solid chunk out of the Android tablet market and the (non-education) Chromebook market

I think it's pretty telling that there are 200 comments here and not a single one praises AMZL.

I think I saw one person who said he/she hadn't had any specifically bad experiences with AMZL, but that most of his/her deliveries are UPS anyway.

The phrase "piss-poor" comes to mind.

Superior would be tough to justify outright; but it's certainly nice to be able to CTRL+F

USPS forges delivery times to avoid being caught delivering a Prime package late[1] (don't get me wrong, though; AMZL sucks)

[1] http://www.cbs46.com/story/36856477/mail-carriers-usps-warns... N.B. I've personally had this happen a couple times now.

Awesome tip, but I feel like I'm still shit out of luck with any Amazon purchase sent via USPS. Their drivers mark all their Amazon Prime packages as delivered if it's end of day. I've had multiple Amazon deliveries that were "delivered at 7:59pm at normal mail reception desk" that they then delivered the following day

EDIT: Just want to make it clear that this isn't my isolated experience -- http://www.cbs46.com/story/36856477/mail-carriers-usps-warns...

Oh, for sure. The funny thing here is that the line in 2012 was crafted to be patently absurd.

From a 2012 episode of The Office:

Ryan: “I’ve actually done a lot of market research and it actually turns out that southwestern Ohio is going to be the next Silicon Valley. They call it the Silicon Prairie.”

For those not familiar with the episode: the character is totally full of crap; trying to explain that his reason for moving to Ohio has nothing to do with his ex-girlfriend moving to Ohio. Funny to see "Ohio is going to be the next Silicon Valley" come around again (but this time in actual news).
