Chattanooga, Tennessee wants to expand its network so these rural areas can have the same Gbps and 10 Gpbs connections the city has. Rather than allow that to happen, Tennessee's legislature just voted to give Comcast and AT&T a $45 million taxpayer handout. It is illegal for EPB—a power and communications company owned by the Chattanooga government (which offers 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gpbs internet connections) to expand out into surrounding areas
Last week, Apple admitted a mistake. After gathering a handful of journalists to what I can only imagine is the company’s secret volcano lair, Apple copped to screwing up the trashcan-shaped Mac Pro, and vowed to do better.

These city/county-run ISPs are starting to become the last hope for decent net in the states. With crapcast I had a 10/3 cable connection that barely pushed 1/0.2 most days. Now I have a city-run ISP for about the same price at 150/150 fiber and it runs 150/175 most days. Customer service is great and they even send out e-mails about local/state laws regarding internet privacy and availability if you ask.

So now, Macs will be obsolete the day you buy them, instead of the year before you buy them.

Zeng, an NYU grad student, spent six weeks last year detailing the life of a Chinese worker at an iPhone factory, Pegatron, near Shanghai. It’s not all bad, but it isn't good either.
|
|
|
|
|
Quote: Zeng earned about $665 during his six weeks at Pegatron. That should be just enough to buy an IPhone 7 and a couple of bowls of noodles per day. Thank goodness Apple takes care of their suppliers with only a 38% profit margin and 18 billion dollar profit this past quarter.
|
|
|
|
|
Quote: Pegatron workers who make Apple products work for 43 hours per week on average So that's 90 hours a week each for the guys on the shop floor, and two hours a week each for the army of managers.

I read about it the first time today on the webpage of the German magazine c't.
It is a file and image compression used by Windows 10: Compact OS, single-instancing, and image optimization[^].
While used by default only for system files stored on SSDs, it may be used with a command line tool for all files on NFTS drives. Such files can be read on Windows 10 only. There is so far only an experimental open source project allowing read only.
At c't they tested if the common forensic tools are able to process such compressed files and they failed all (German link: Forensik-Tools patzen bei neuer Windows-Kompression | heise Security[^]).

I've long been a fan of the style of code that AmmyUI uses but it wasn't gaining much real traction mainly because of the costs. They have just moved to it being free, including for commercial development. AmmyUI - now free[^]

I suspect your firewall is blocking the site. Our firewall here at work gave me a message stating the site was high risk and refused to load it.

Maybe posting in Free Tools Discussion Boards[^]

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I know... I was not telling you, this is the wrong forum or something in that way. I suggested to add a mention there, because people interested on free software looks there not here.

Mozilla engineers are working on a new section in the browser's preferences that will let users control the browser's performance. Perhaps a good step in the right direction

I had a game where you could fly planes. If you turned on the Turbo, it ran way too fast to be able to control the plane. Ah, those were the days.
