Must be developing a new Linus operating system using blanket coding techniques covering the basics.
Version 1.0 is code named Great Pumpkin.

Sean Parker, the founding president of Facebook, gave me a candid insider's look at how social networks purposely hook and potentially hurt our brains. Someone not get their royalty cheque this month?

It'll probably take another million years to totally evolve the animal out of us. But by that time...

Logitech will intentionally brick all Harmony Link universal hubs next year, on March 16, 2018.
Their reaction to criticism? Adding "class action lawsuit" to the list of censored phrases on their support forum.

Thanks for the heads up - I'll certainly think twice before buying any Logitech product in the future..
This is the best part:
Quote: And to put the cherry on top, Logitech has held fire sales for Harmony Link devices in the past months, offering the universal hubs at lowered prices and with a warranty of only three months.

I could say "told you so", but I already told you so.
Don't use products that are cloud based, or that connect to a company for continued license validation.
You WILL be burnt for it. I learned my lesson years ago. Never again.
My company actually gives me Adobe Create Suite with everything in it - for free. But I find myself using Gimp more and more because I just don't want to deal with the licensing headache every day, and the looming threat that one time when I need it it won't work because it "thinks" I'm not licensed. (That's already happened to me twice in the last 2 years).
Thanks, but no thanks.

I think I will relegate Logitech to disposable devices like mice and keyboards since they have clearly demonstrated that they are not trustworthy with anything beyond that.

USB drivers included in the Linux kernel are rife with security flaws that in some cases can be exploited to run untrusted code and take over users' computers. Linux with driver issues?

Yeah but, no but, yeah but, no but, yeah but Windows is so insecure and you can't even recompile the kernel.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

As the co-creator of Structured Query Language (SQL), Don Chamberlin knows a thing or two about pulling data out of relational databases. So when he spoke at the user conference for NoSQL database vendor Couchbase last week, it raised a few eyebrows. A lack of pretty rows and columns?

What about taking a look not only at JSON, but also at the Hierarchical Database paradigm, as it was typical of the 1960ies in programming languages like MUMPS?
Having worked with such a dinosaur long ago, I see more similarities between JSON and hierarchical dbs than between JSON and relational dbs.
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Researchers have introduced a new computing problem and shown that it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for a classical computer to solve, but in theory it could be efficiently solved using quantum techniques. Not my problem

When the researchers were asked if they were familiar with "classical computers" they said "I know classical computers like the Bach of Johann"... ba dum bah...

Mixed feelings here. Not because I like this sort of crap; but because the companies producing it always come up with newer and more obnoxious replacements each time their old dumpsterfire gets larted out of existence.
