Pronouns: any. You can't get it wrong

  • Some people want a short term contract. If too few people want such, the company will have to pay a premium to hire people short term.

    There of course must also be penalties for companies that hire ongoing, but end it before retirement

  • The fuzzy ones are taken at night on phones that are not optimised for flash photography

  • They mean the handset price will go up, since Apple will no longer be able to suck as much app store money from you

    Though I don't expect many people to take advantage of their new freedom - look at the number of Android users who have ever side loaded apps, or used a store which didn't come with their phone

  • For example, a company in such an environment could have a plan for a four month bit of work. They could employ people on an appropriate short term contract.

  • You couldn't even get a cart out"

    No harm trying though

  • "sand"

  • As Unix is pushed to do more and more, it instead becomes less and less

    That's a pretty good pun of it was deliberate

  • I wonder how much he laughed when Mac went Unix

  • That's it. I was allowed to drive into one as I was booked into a hotel in the zone, I think that's the slowest I ever drove for more than three metres

  • "the boot loader is only safe if it is signed by Google"

    How ever did I get out of the '80s with computers with dangerous unsigned boot loaders

  • I wouldn't hire a pool cleaner that produced a hundred page contract, unless they were happy to start the cleaning a month or three before I signed

  • If you're hanging onto windows 7 because your computer isn't suitable for later versions, I suggest you move to Linux so as to be on a modern reasonably secure operating system. Windows 7 machines are becoming too likely to be part of a bot farm

    You can run steam on Linux

  • Rethink a motor designed to be used for 5 mins initially then occasionally in future? It's fine for the design purpose. It's even fine for the mode where it operates every time you get in the car (where it waits in fully back position, and moves forward when you operate a control)

    Why should they think it to let it be used as a fidget toy?

  • TOS documents are designed not to be read.

  • You can download APKs from repositories on the web

  • Or (in software) get open source software, so anyone can make a fork of it if the original goes off the rails

  • I had one of the flight tracker apps, used it to identify planes passing my work lunch room's window, and paid $5 for it to get it ad free. Then it went to subscription and made it's free tier time limited instead of ad supported, so now I don't use it. I can't use an old version as it doesn't work on newer versions of Android

    Edit to add: It's worth learning how to side load apps. While on a driving holiday in Sicily I was told that it was vital to have the ZTL app so I could know what areas were closed to cars (zero traffic limit), but it was only available on the Italian play store, so I had to download the APK and install it that way

  • Yep. Even the Netherlands makes their car appropriate paths great for cars.

    Cars are still needed for distances too far to walk or to cycle at times when public transport doesn't run

    I wish it weren't so, but it is so.

  • Yeah it sucks if your government just rolled over when asked for strictest copyright.

    I'm pretty sure VCRs and tape backup got it legal in the US to move media you have right to watch between media

    Australia got its law on circumvention through American diplomatic pressure, we refused leaving out the interoperability clause. Others under the same pressure didn't push back
