A percentage of retail price or of $500 (now lowered to $400) - whichever is lowest. Increasing retail price from $700 to $1000 would not increase the licensing fee.
I believe Apples beef was that Qualcomm requires companies who buys their chips to also license all their patents. It's a kind of double dipping.
Well, while 5G needs GHz bands for dense areas it also works just fine on e.g. traditional 700MHz while still offering a better protocol and better channel management. Thus I guess better handling of a large number of low speed devices connecting to the same cell - like a herd of cattle.
Better channel management, dynamic bandwidth allocation and a more efficient protocol is what 5G is about. Well, for carriers it's really about more revenue opportunities but let's ignore that for now.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I seem to be using another option from the ones described; I initiate Google login on my PC and enter password, my phone bleeps so I unlock it and press "yes it is me" - no code just the prompt. On iPhone it requires the Google Home app, not Authenticator, on Android as well I think.
The FIDO approach seems more secure and supports more than just Google accounts, but requires a local/PAN BT connection? What are the fallback options if, say, borrowing a PC without BT? Enter a number?
True but then they also think differently. My cat taught me to play fetch; while working in my office I threw a few crumbled paper balls into the next room, she charged after them and came back for more. I refused to crumble up more paper and after staring at me for a bit she went and fetched one of the previous balls and gave it to me. From then on we played fetch.
Wireless charging is a convenience, hugely so for my crippled hands but one my able bodied friends enjoy as well.
Any modern home is full of conveniences we use without extra thought, no need to scoff at one in particular if people enjoy it.
As for quick charging; people seem to have their phones surgically attached to their hand and need to recharge by mid afternoon. I don't and personally prefer to keep the battery cool and charge overnight but to each their own.
I'm not sure but I think the point he's trying to make is that Adobe is not bothering to spend money fixing its "rough edges" because people will buy it anyway.
5G is about better channel management and dealing with congestion. It makes things better for the provider, enables support for more customers and might, under good conditions, give you better speeds in busy areas.
Yes, some CEO said recently that profit on hardware sales was around 7% he admitted it was their own fault but in any case it's now necessary to boost profit in other ways. Selling information about consumer TV habits is no 1 (gathered through internet connected Smart TVs), getting a few kickbacks is probably welcomed as well.
The TV division, or whatever that bit is called, no doubt have their own budget and revenue goals. If things are not going well they'll come under scrutiny from the mothership.
There is ofcourse cooperation across divisions to satisfy company goals, like correlating consumer TV habits with everything they know about people from Phones and Bigsby.
Yup and I'm very happy with this law. But try getting Wi-Fi calling working with Fido on a BYOD Android phone, even a brand+model supporting it fully if it had been bought from Fido.
Such features are strictly whitelisted to phones bought from the same carrier only.
Same in Canada, by law new phones now come unlocked and old locked phones can get unlocked for free.
However, if you bring an Android phone bought elsewhere to a carrier it'll work fine unless you want to use features like Wi-Fi calling. These "extra features" fully supported by the phones only work if the phone is whitelisted and bought through the carrier, even if exactly same brand+model. With iPhones carriers must support features like Wi-fi calling, so "bring your own device" is less problematic for our iPhone friends.
Back in the eighties I was a teenager. Ain't nobody got time for predictions when busy flying model airplanes and collecting women's underwear catalogues.
I like all these things. I also sometimes enjoy a Beyond meat burger. I don't care why it was "invented", I don't care about philosophical arguments on either side, as long as it tastes good it is just another tasy dish adding to the variety of all the interesting recipes out there.
I'm an omnivore too and I heard this argument too, many times. But for me a Beyond Meat burger (which I enjoy sometimes) and its meat mimicking friends is just another way of preparing/cooking a (veggie) meal. You might as well ask why people use spices in their cooking. I love variety and the many many ways we prepare food, without without meat. I don't care about the original reason a recipe exists I only care about it being tasty and nutritious.

I do the same. Not letting any smart tv getting connected to the internet and they're really great people over at osmc.tv; very friendly and happy to help iron out any issues.
I would never let a smart tv get online or I'd block it from connecting outside my network, considering the snooping many of them do. I prefer my Vero 4K and trust the fine folks over at osmc.tv a lot more.

Sounds about right. He probably assumed it stood for Afghanistan.
I imagine Finnish and Japanese people would cope somewhat whereas Brazilians or Greeks would lose their minds /s
In any case you're right. It's good that LEO latency should be 30-50ms, in contrast to a GEO latency of 600-800ms.

Doesn't take much to become a marketing droid. But look at all those titles, in just one line!

DDG have their own index for specialized sites and use Bing for regular web results.
My fondest memory is from when I replaced the USRobotics modem with a ZyXEL ISDN device. ISDN was amazing.

Many flagship phones have tap to wake and raise to wake, it seems to have negligible impact on battery life.

I have the same experience. I guess the Americans don't have as much freedom as other countries, except for large corporations.

Well, DDG use Bing on the back end for web results but if you experience Bing itself is better it may have something to do with tracking, I dunno..
