I suspect that some of these articles you are reading are simply wrong.

Very possibly. Many are major news outlets though and I had the news sent to me by political correspondents in Madrid who work with the government, so there is a little extra credibility there.

I had one of these (older model) Of course only had a one year warranty and at 13 months it starting having a problem where it would not power up. sometimes unplugging the battery would do the trick, but that required using a torq driver to remove the bottom.

I have no desire to ever own one of these again.

This was an episode of Black Mirror.... your dad either stole the idea or is a writer for that show... and the word you're looking for is 'pedal', not 'paddle'... smh.

I just got vbox 5 installed last night. I might give this a whirl if yawl want me to. 🙂

We recently had to set up an L2TP tunnel for our apple devices, since the last iOS 10 update took PPTP out of the picture. It was a huge PITA too, because I didn't figure out for a while that the secondary tunnel wouldn't let me reuse existing user accounts in our Watchguard.... that was some fun trial and error. And the WG how-tos never specified anything about needing different user accounts. It sucks to do all the steps right and then get login errors... makes ya feel like an amateur.

A SpiceMember at our local SpiceCorps just got back from DEF CON. Got some official swag, always good. That bit about controlling a car is something I was waiting to happen. Pretty messed up.

Well the people ultimately in charge that are allowing them to operate this way are the shareholders. And they are definitely being punished now. You can't change the shareholders but you can make sure that they are not getting your money.

So far, I am liking what I see...some "coolness" factor is coming back...and I am one of the 3% that simply prefer the Windows Phone/Mobile...
