Absolutely certain. The whole world is under constant surveillance from space down to the level of reading number plates. Nothing can go undetected. Take MH370 for example...

True and wrong at the same time. Thank god we still can't read any license place anywhere at any time. There are not enough satellites for that and we still have to position one to look over the area that we want to observe. Fortunarely a missile launch is easier to detect than a car with its license plate and by now enough sats from from several intersted parties will be pointed at North Korea.

I cannot count the number of times I have watched a TV show or movie where they are looking at grainy surveillance video and one of the people says "Can you enhance the image?" After a few seconds of processing, voila - a face or license plate that was in the background is clear as a bell.

That may be - slightly - fictional exaggeration.
I'm sure an episode of NCIS or CSI (Herself watches them and believes every word but I can;t tell teh difference) had an enhancement of a picture get a licence plate on a car behind the camera man from the reflection in someones eye...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What???
I am absolutely certain that every police department behind closed doors has holographic touch screens that can be used on absolutely every criminal case! Not to mention DNA testing that happens within minutes and coroner results that take no more than a couple of hours!

As a general rule of thumb, whenever you post something that has a major political figure who is highly divisive, think about posting it in the Soapbox instead. You will save time because the lounge is not the place for political rants.

Well, Firefox updated itself to version 55, and now my extensive set of add-ons are starting to act up. It seems that a great add-on would be one that could automatically search for and updates all the other add-ons. Any ideas?

I thought FireFox did that automatically. Guess not.

I have a newish MacBook Pro and I've been fairly robust in my frustration and disappointment in, well, pretty much all of it except the outside cover. Which is gorgeous.
I have a new theory though.
It's no secret that Apple has been rumoured to be moving to ARM[^] which is great for power, terrible for those who remember moving from PowerPC to Intel. Apple will really need a convincing story to get people to move over, and so my latest conspiracy theory is that Apple is deliberately handicapping the display driver, touchpad driver, Wifi driver, power management and anything else they can easily break in Bootcamp in order to make the Windows experience so terrible that people just move to macOS and away from Bootcamp entirely.
Nothing else can explain just how awful it's become to use Bootcamp on the new Macbooks.
C'mon Microsoft: get your hardware issues under control, give us some serious battery life, and release the hounds. The time is ripe for a Contender.
cheers
