One suspects, for numerous reasons, that your employer will never allow any user, especially a North American, to stop data collection by the central servers.
However, you might refer the customer to your colleagues in the EU. They will have stronger data protections that could be used to force the issue. The Europeans might be able to share how it works with your North American customer.
It would make Greece less attractive as an avenue to EU soil, yes. It would also stop the EU being complicit in crimes against humanity.
So has this been addressed in OS updates?
Remember Grexit? If I were an MEP, and if these allegations are true yet remain unpunished, I’d explore kicking Greece out of the bloc and out of the euro.
Mint on a couple of old laptops. Debian command line on a hobby server. Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi.
Didn’t love Arch (too complicated for my skills at the time). Fedora was okay and would do in a pinch. I remember liking OpenSUSE, but went back to Mint for some reason that I don’t remember (probably driver- or repo-related).
I’ll likely never try it myself, but I’ve known new users who did ok with Zorin.
Now what’s Putin going to do? Put his shirt back on?
I will never understand why Democrats preserve the filibuster. When Repugnicams are in power, any tool that Democrats could use to hold them in check gets scrapped. Why do Dems keep trying to play fair?
Tomshardware is a blog, not journalism. It seems to be a generally credible blog (passes the CRAAP test), but it’s still just a blog.
That said, sadly, I have to agree about the general state of almost all US-based “journalism” these days. About 90% of headlines today would have gotten the editor fired on the spot in my newsroom. That was a point of strong disagreement between me and the station manager, and It’s one of the major reasons that I left the field.
That is one possible interpretation of the language. Without knowing something about the author, the blog itself could be a disinformation campaign.
Assuming it’s genuine, we agree that they have the right to say whatever they want so long as it doesn’t present a clear and present danger. And readers have the right to decide they’re wrong or uninformed.
Exactly. Non-count nouns can’t take indefinite articles (because indefinite articles are a version of the number “one”).
Together with the other ungrammatical elements, this article has little credibility. It can probably be safely dismissed.
Journalism is no place for jokes. This isn’t the only ungrammatical language in the article. If they want to be taken seriously, a good proofreader is essential. Otherwise, they’ll be perceived as you suggest: a joke.
Misleading headline. This improvement was only the best video encoding result. Most relevant improvements were in the 7-17% range. Still an improvement, but not so spectacular.
What is this source. How does one “do a journalism?”
I should’ve noted that YMMV. :)
Thanks for the recommendations. When there’s time to read for fun, I’ll try to check them out.
So by inference, some lives don’t matter. Care to say which you consider disposable?
Six-day-old troll account. Ignored.
Yeah it’s a troll. Six-day-old account apparently created just for trolling.
I actually prefer these to true strawberries. They’re much more subtle and interesting.
Not defending hurtful remarks, but any polyglot knows that context and culture are everything and that dictionary translations are rarely entirely accurate. I’d rather know what he actually said with credible interpretation than some social media screed based on Google Translate’s version.
