Honestly, after Google jumped from the Nexus line (bargain) to the Pixel line (flagship pricing), I bought my first "cheap brand" phone.
A ZTE Axon 7 for $350.
It is by far the most trouble free phone I've ever owned. I've got a super-minimal polycarbonate case on it and I've dropped it umpteen times, no cracks. It just works and has amazing battery life. And works. And works.
You can get a lot in the midrange phone market ($200-500) now.
The only thing it doesn't have that I wish it did is a removable battery.
If only they would make the one thing I'm interested in:
A goddamn tower with space for lots of hard drives (at least 4, 8 would be better), multiple video cards, free memory slots and a cooling system with lots of thermal overhead.
"Tw = Te * Ntf * tf" "... where Tw is wheel torque, Te is engine torque, N is the gear ratio, is the efficiency, and the subscripts t and f are for the gearbox and differential, respectively."
"In fact, there was a backup satellite ready to go." The $58 million satellite was dismantled in 2016 when the Republican-controlled Congress cut its funding."
They didn't ship without an OS, you just accidentally chose the "FreeDOS" option because you were just going to throw LineageOS on there anyway and didn't want to pay for a whole useless Android license.
The illusion of them being innovative and having the best product. In actual reality, that has stopped a while ago or was never true in the first place, depending on the specific aspects. So they now lean heavily on the "cult" aspect of their marketing. It seems to work, this time again, because people are irrational and there are enough that will fall for the illusion. Of course, if Apple continues to not deliver anything but the illusion, eventually the whole house of cards will come crashing down.
I might buy one if it had stereo speakers. My current phone has both of these and I find them such useful features I'll never buy a phone again without them.
As it is, as soon as I saw the lack of the jack, I just said "nope" and moved on.
Way to have "courage," Essenial. Courage to remove features before you've even established yourself.
The Android kernel is based on the Linux 4.4 LTS branch with extra goodies like wakelocks tacked on. This "distro" is just running the user-facing parts of a regular distro on the existing kernel.
Unless there's some kind of virtualization happening here?
Honestly, I just installed it to give it a spin and my impression is this:
It's as fast without uBlock Origin as the old Firefox was with uBlock Origin.
Just turned on uBlock, and I have to say, I'm impressed. The entire page loading process seems way less laggy, and everything snaps up on the screen with authority.
Loading the worst, fattest page I can think of (cnn.com, come on guys, what the heck are you doing???): slightly faster than Google Chrome on this machine (6 year old core i5 with 8gb of RAM).

I think they should call the attempted senate bill to block the repeal the:

Your comment reminds me of this classic:
Getting a 5.8s 0-60 time from a 2001 Nissan Sentra:

Completely true for the same reasons.
The OS has to be reinstalled.
How is that bricking?
I love love LOVE that this is +5 Insightful.

But they will. not. make. that.
WTF apple?
Heck, for that price, I can get a velocitymicro system with dual 16-core Epyc processors, 32gb ram, and onboard 10gigE.
Got me thinking... maybe it's time to replace my dual 8-core Xeon and dual 16-core Opteron systems.
Correction: The recent Thor has been the best comedy about superheroes to date :).
Laughed my way all the way through that one, and Taika Waititi killed it... I hope his character gets into the expanded universe or something.
Stupid Slashdot, there are supposed to be etas in there but they got stripped out.
Looks like he did.
"Tw = Te * Ntf * tf"
"... where Tw is wheel torque, Te is engine torque, N is the gear ratio, is the efficiency, and the subscripts t and f are for the gearbox and differential, respectively."
With a nice citation!
I thought the THS charger for Japanese models was only for maintenance/cell balance. Not for PHEV operation.
I did something similar to my 2000 Honda's tape deck.
Except I soldered the contacts shut n the micro switch closed when a tape was inserted so it thinks there's a tape in there all the time.
Works like a champ. The amp in the OEM deck isn't very powerful, but it's actually a pretty nice quality unit.
I assume they're talking about this:
"In fact, there was a backup satellite ready to go." The $58 million satellite was dismantled in 2016 when the Republican-controlled Congress cut its funding."
Guys, you're overreacting here.
They didn't ship without an OS, you just accidentally chose the "FreeDOS" option because you were just going to throw LineageOS on there anyway and didn't want to pay for a whole useless Android license.
Just look for the little:

Check mate.
Yes! This is an even better (worse) headline!
Group policy on Windows 10 has been a nightmare, as different builds seem to fail in new and exciting ways.
Yeah, I think he meant F-302s.
Don't you remember the old PSA slogan?
"Reduce, upcycle, recycle!"
Since apparently "reuse" is now remapped as "upcycle."
I would consider one if it had a headphone jack.
I might buy one if it had stereo speakers. My current phone has both of these and I find them such useful features I'll never buy a phone again without them.
As it is, as soon as I saw the lack of the jack, I just said "nope" and moved on.

I mean, isn't it running natively?

Interesting to know, thanks!
Um, you mean a glorified sea eagle?
Gulls aren't even in the same order, let alone family.
Are their eyes also immune?
I would doubt it.
