Re:It isn't ready for Notebooks even
"Literally nothing you've just said makes any sense at all."
I don't expect 7-digit UIDs to know how to use a computer, either.
Let alone look through Google's support pages and see that my Chrome problem has been in existence since 2009 (Here's a more thorough one from 2012 found on SuperUser - https://superuser.com/question...) Or hell, just my Own Fucking Screenshot From YESTERDAY Demonstrates the same goddamned thing.
So with that first part down, do you want me to continue proving you wrong, or would you rather admit fault and walk away? Camfrog is next, and I'm making that one a VIDEO demonstration so I can really embarrass your ass if you wish to keep on.

Re:Chromebooks Do Their Job
"They're not stand alone systems, they need an internet link."
Apparently you missed the whole VIDEO CHAT part of my statement. Perhaps you should actually READ AND COMPREHEND what I wrote before replying, eh? Because right now it looks like your critical thinking faculties are fucked.
"I'm confused by your reference to Camfrog because I don't believe that there's a Chrome Extension for that app - there is one for Android and if you're using that, then you probably will have problems on a Chromebook because Android apps are still somewhat marginal."
Apparently, yet-a-fucking-gain, missed that I stated "While just about any app I want to run will run on it, many times, it simply does things the Android way"So you're demonstrating that while you read you're refusing to actually understand and comprehend, and are just regurgiating shit to make yourself feel better.
Meanwhile - There's proof number one for your ignorant ass and I'll be taking video to demonstrate Camfrog in a bit so you can see that what you experience is absolutely not the norm for anyone that attempts to utilize the FULL CAPABILITY of a Chromebook.

Re:how about..
Wow you really suck at communicating.
The original poster rejects the Galaxy S10, specifically calling out the screen size, price, and battery life, and you think they should buy the previous version of the exact same phone, which features the exact same size screen, will debut in the same pricing segment, and barring a major internal redesign, will have roughly the same battery life.
I can only assume you either:
1) Didn't read the OP's wish list for the phone they want, or
2) Blindly questioned my suggestion, without looking at the specs to consider the reason I chose it. Maybe playing some Samsung loyalty angle? I dunno.In either case, I don't see me as being the one with a "communication issue".
To use a car analogy:
Original Poster: "What is with this focus on huge trucks every year? I want a vehicle that's under $25 grand, has good cargo room, and gas mileage."
My response: "Have you checked out the Hyundia Elantra hatchbacks? They have a pretty surprising amount of room and they start at $20k.
Your response to me: "Why don't you recommend a 2017 Ford Explorer?"
Me: "Because that doesn't meet the OP's checklist at all???"
You: "You sure suck at communicating".

35mm is better than 4k
Not sure what the big whoop is. 35mm has just as good resolution than 4k, and if you take into account the compression that typically comes with 4k then 35mm would be superior.
But don't take my word for it, check out the comparisons: https://i.imgur.com/g8U62w3.png

Re:Blatantly Illegal Under GDPR
If this were an online activity, it would be blatantly illegal under the GDPR
Basic response from any US company to the GPDR folks
Both ICE and malls in California do their business in the US; all the business transactions with these customers whose data is processed occur in the US. GDPR is European law, and companies' activities within US jurisdiction are not subject to European law --- even if the customer were a European national allowed to drive in the US.

Re:Deroir's Tweets
I was pretty pissed that the Verge left out the Tweets from Deroir in the actual article. It really paints a one-sided picture and sets him up to be the bad guy.
That's because the verge wants to paint it that way. Just like how all those gaming sites painted gamergate one way. Just like how they pushed the "gamers are dead" articles and tried to claim that it was all a lie. Just like how all those sites pushed "people who hate the new ghostbusters are haters, sexists, and misogynists." And in the latest round, "it's a good thing" that xyz thing happened with starwars.
Seriously. Anyone who believes that there isn't a gigantic mailing list of journos all echoing the same bullshit, and trying to steer public opinion is deluding themselves. Journolist was a thing. Gamejournopros was a thing as well. Both cases journalists were in an incestuous relationship with the subjects of the story, or were passing their stories off to the subjects prior to publishing for revision. Or in the worst case, publishing their subjects stories as factual news. See the number of reporters from wapo, politico, nyt, cbs, nbc who did so for both Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Re:Hypocrisy in government?
> That and the FBI was actually pretty pro-Trump.
Are we reading the same report?
Page 5:
A paragraph summarizing the factors that led the FBI to assess that it was possible that hostile actors accessed Clinton’s server was added, and at one point referenced Clinton’s use of her private email for an exchange with then President Obama while in the territory of a foreign adversary. This reference later was changed to “another senior government official,” and ultimately was omitted.
Page 420 shows a text saying "we'll stop" Trump from becoming President--a text that was somehow completely omitted, rather than redacted, from previous disclosures.
Page 430 shows FBI agents getting 'gifts' from the media.
Page 461-2:
First, Kadzik did not recognize the appearance of a conflict that he himself had created when he initiated an effort to obtain employment for his son with the Clinton campaign while he was participating in senior staff meetings where Clinton-related matters were discussed and signing letters to Congress regarding Clinton-related matters on behalf of the Department. Second, Kadzik created an appearance of a conflict when he sent Podesta the “Heads up” email that included government information about the FOIA litigation in an effort to be helpful to the Clinton campaign without knowing whether the information had yet been made public. His willingness to do so raised a reasonable question about his ability to act impartially on Clinton-related matters in connection with his official duties. Additionally, although Department leadership ultimately decided to recuse Kadzik from Clinton-related matters upon learning of Kadzik’s “Heads up” email to Podesta, Kadzik subsequently forwarded several emails communicating information related to Clinton-related matters within the Department and indicated his intent to speak with staff about those matters. We therefore concluded that Kadzik exercised poor judgment by failing to strictly adhere to his recusal.
You may want to read more than just the conclusions at the end.

Re:Race to the bottom
So we have to compete with China in creepiness?
Of course since the average american and person in capitalist society is unaware how extreme wealth inequality is. So all the rulers are at full blown war against their publics. That's why the spying is there, to make sure you have the "correct" free market, corporation worshipping thoughts and not notice the end of the rule of law, endless copyright laws which equals total domination of government by the rich.

Re:Why do they not want the experience?
My theory is that organic economic growth in the capitalist West has somehow stalled, and corporations looking for increasing profits are increasingly relying on cost cutting to boost profits.
Somewhat true, but not because innovation and "organic" growth are somehow impossible, but because firms are mortgaging their long-term success for better quarterly results. It's like refinancing your house to show a huge income gain this year. That's all good and well this year, but that's going to cost you over time by reducing your future income. Nobody cares because look at this quarter's earnings. The problem is that this all comes crashing down periodically, and then those people get bailed out instead of going out of business.

Re:Well.
Not that it matters. I suspect the ruling will be that general game mechanics are not protected by copyright law.
I'm reading through the complaint right now, it looks like that's the situation. Most are scène à faire look-and-feel elements and gameplay elements, neither are protected. The trade dress claims are based on scène à faire (standard elements for the style of game) elements.
Reading through it, there are: Look and feel of pre-game lobby, islands with bridges, towns, farms, rural and urban areas, battlefield noises, weapons and armor, these are all scène à faire. Others are non-protectable gameplay elements: airplane jump to choose starting location, shrinking combat zone to force players together as more are eliminated, equipment acquisition over the course of the game, weapons and armor stats, the use of backpacks, consumables, health bars, etc.
There have been strong suits for this before, like The Sims Online v. The Ville. That one had strong claims where the side-by-side images had RGB-identical colors and pixel-identical placement for user interfaces, and item-for-item duplicates of traits. That was a strong suit when you could see they were side-by side identical. Here the images are like both games have soldiers in combat and both have maps, and both games have buildings. The defense there is easy to claim as scène à faire, just present screen captures from a hundred other fighting games in the same situations. They could probably pull out near-identical images from thousands games that all pre-dated PUBG.
The frying pan is probably the most iconic in their claims, but even that is easy enough to explain away with an enormous amount of prior art as a comedic weapon: Recent movies like Disney's Tangled, or going back Austin Powers, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and hundreds more. Even Mary Poppins from the 1960's had the cook wield a frying pan when she thought the house was being invaded. Frying pans as weapons have been standard in books for centuries, including the old Sherlock Holmes a century ago. I wouldn't be surprised if some Shakespeare comedies involve a wielded pan.
PUBG has no case here.
There may be a little bit of wrangling, but likely the mutual investors of both companies will order them to stop bickering and the case will wither. PUBG's numbers have been dropping, but it isn't due to copyright infringement.

Re:Meaningless
It's a non-issue.
That Consumer Reports test was flawed, because they tested pressure in the middle when the phones were clearly being bent at a particular point higher up.
It was a design flaw: "under a particular type of flexing, the phone is prone to bend mainly because a metal insert meant to reinforce instead spins in an axis too close to the critical point"
But that must be Fake News, since Snopes still cites the Consumer Reports test, right? https://www.snopes.com/news/20...
