FAT disks are no longer supported—more surprisingly, nor is the new ReFS file system. It's a feature?

So does this mean I don't have to uninstall it every week?

I don't get the import of this for a OneDrive user. How does OneDrive's storage media matter to someone saving a file on a "black box" cloud filesystem?
Or, on second thought, is it a case of it not running the desktop client and sync on FAT systems?

I suspect it has to do with the fall creators update, where to fake remote files being present it needs to become a low level file system driver. As a file system rooted in the early 80's ExFAT presumably just doesn't have the needed features to do this. ReFS might have the same problem (it doesn't have all of what were edge case features in NTFS). Alternately for one or both it might just be a time to market issue; writing 3 low level file system muddles is 3x the work of writing 1.

Now, if only it would stop working on NTFS...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

University of Washington researchers have invented a cellphone that requires no batteries—a major leap forward in moving beyond chargers, cords and dying phones. Instead, the phone harvests the few microwatts of power it requires from either ambient radio signals or light. Can I play Snake on it?

Shame we're nice n' analog all the time or we wouldn't need those pesky power hungry ADC/DAC chips.
Power from a dynamic mic though. - cool.

Even calling it a cell phone is a stretch IMO. Not just because of the manual TX/RX switch; but because they're using a custom signal encoding method on a base station designed for this purpose. The fact that they talked about integrating into wifi base stations in the future suggests that it's going to be very range limited vs cell signals. And being analog data it's going to be back to having all of the static/etc problems that plagued that medium. From the description they gave, I suspect it needs to have a channel in use 100% of the time vs packeting the data and sharing so forget scaling for large numbers of users.
None of which is to say it's not a cool demo; but it's not what the headline writers are trying to hype it as either.

Sometimes it feels like the line between work and video games is blurred. The story and graphics might not be comparable, but the gameplay mechanics feel like they are. For those that missed it back in the day (or that miss it now)
And if the latter, I grieve for you.

What do you mean "miss it?" I'm still using it. 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Reuters reports that EU regulators are considering another record-breaking fine for Google over its Android operating system. More proof that Android is the new Windows
|
|
|
|

The last thing we need is more fragmentation in the Android space - it's bad enough getting manufacturers to provide security fixes already, this is likely to just make a bad situation worse.
Effectively, it will hand dominance of the market to a few vertically integrated players (or in the phone space, one fruit-based company) and screw over consumers. Naturally, when Apple then effectively becomes a monopoly, they will be next in the EU's targets.
None of this is really in the interest of consumers.

I think they get a % of the fine as comision or something like that.

When we use our phone while walking, we employ a "cautious and exaggerated stepping strategy," Anglia Ruskin Unveristy's study shows. With that video, they knew I would post this

And in other news, dog farts smell bad. Hope they didn't spend taxpayer money for that profoundly obvious study.

Not that I'm sexist, I was looking for a particular post, but geez, googling "woman falls while texting" just comes up with so many links. Like this one.
Moral of the story -- that cautious and exaggerated stepping strategy is you fooling yourself that you're being cautious.
