I have a Samsung phone you insensitive clod. I won't get Oreo for another eight months.
Actually it's an S6, there's divided opinions on whether it'll get the update at all. I hope it will, I expect to keep it another 2-3 years to match the lifespan of my old iPhone.
That's entirely your own fault. Marketing in any industry will never be trustworthy, that's not their job.
AMD vs Intel is a good example, the were times when AMD was better performing and Intel had many more errata and visa versa. You have to evaluate for every purchase.
Do your own research before you spend your money. Never be loyal to any brand. Research, then buy for your use cases and budget.
Indeed, it's been common forever, and not just store brands, many brands we think of as unique are "OEM" type brands.
I read a comment from a worker at a toothpaste and shampoo factory; he said they put the same shit in tubes from different brands, sometimes with a flavor change added, sometimes unchanged. Similar story from a guy making vinyl siding - same stuff packaged in differently branded boxes, one was their own umbrella brand.
Well, Somebody require fully functional app with "acceptable" number of bugs in record time, made cheaply you use high level frameworks and shit on memory and CPU resources.
I've been using Atom recently and it's a bloated whale (not to mention that they think they can call something without macro recording a programmers editor). I wish Electron would just go away.
Not that I really wanted to get involved in this yelling contest, but let's use facts though: The majority of manufacturers offer the 25-year standard solar panel warranty, which means that power output should not be less than 80% of rated power after 25 years and they don't suddenly stop working by then.
I've been a senior software engineer in a number of companies, small, medium and one of the world's largest companies and I worked with and socialized after work with many of the top positioned and paid software engineers. Some had home hobby projects, one guy liked woodworking, one rebuilt cars, some did electronic or software projects, a few were open source. Many worked overtime every single day and simply dropped the keyboard after work to go rock climbing, pubbing or spend evenings and weekends with their families. Sure this is anecdotal, but it does suggest to me that a Red hat analyst might be biased.
It's like the article where number of git accounts were used to count the number of developers in the world. Again, anecdotal, but not a single company I worked in ever used Git. They used private repositories with Clearcase, Perforce, etc.. Git might be rising in popularity recently (eg Microsoft) but it's not world dominating yet. Even stating that it has a certain percentage would just be wild guesswork.
It is sad to hear this sort of conversation. Climate change is not about "us vs. them" or whose turn it is, it's about climate change, a global issue and how the impacts are already devastating today in many parts of the world and will be more so for our children.
What if China didn't do anything (they are waking up to it, fortunately)? Should we just let everything go to hell then?
Everybody needs work hard on this issue, right now. We don't have time for petty bickering. Stragglers will have to be influenced to catch up.
And no, US is not "almost the only one" self-imposing regulations. Furthermore, in the long run climate change would be far far more costly than preventative measures.
I'm the spawn of Satan; I'm happily using Ubuntu with KDE, systemd and whatever audio subsystem it uses.
I really don't have strong opinions. I've created and set up daemons on systemd and it was easy and logical. I've done the same for decades before systemd was a thing. In both cases I first had to learn how it was done.
I've also used numerous desktop environments and I always made things work without harming my precious productivity. These days I find most desktop environments are just fine for me, just like I've happily used several different init/system management systems.
I wouldn't bring pride into, pride is often a bad thing but I enjoy using the systemd system management environment. It's no biggie either way though.
I hope that there is a lot of people out there who are relaxed, open minded and for whom it works and for that reason simply don't have reason to get involved in these flame wars.
Then I understand there's a minority with real problems with systemd in production environments and I'm happy they have other options.
I enjoy macOS because it looks polished and doesn't get in my way. Mac hardware, like my 2006 MBP is solid and pleasant to work on, even the fans on that old MBP are in perfect health whereas I had to replace them both in my 4yr old windows laptop. macOS is my favourite environment for SW development.
In 2010 I broke my neck and am now on a very tight budget. Employers don't like quadriplegics after years of rehab with a need to work from home some of the time. So in 2013 I got a cheapish Windows laptop. I'd prefer Linux but play a game a lot that runs badly there, so windows it is. I have to say, windows 10 is arrogantly trying to control me more than the other way around and I'm missing macOS or Linux as main OS. I do run Linux in a VM for Rust development (dual booting is annoying) but if I could afford a MBP I'd get one in a heartbeat.
On the phone side I had an iPhone 4s which I replaced with a Samsung S6 because it was cheaper than the competing iPhone. Both run the same apps, use same mail provider, there is no real lock in either way and I don't care if I run iOS or Android.
Hmm, we should tell all marketing droids that the Earth is about to be consumed by a giant space goat. Put them on a space ship for evacuation and tell them the rest of us will follow soon.
RDP is pretty awful in comparison. Consider a use case where you need to have multiple X servers on your display from multiple machines. Using RDP you would have multiple desktops on your display.
Well, depends on how much of RDP Wayland would implement. It certainly supports Seamless Windows:
Remote Programs, also known as remote applications integrated locally (RAIL), is a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) feature (as specified in the Remote Desktop Protocol: Basic Connectivity and Graphics Remoting Specification [MS-RDPBCGR]) that presents a remote application as a local user application. RAIL extends the core RDP protocol to deliver this seamless windows experience.
I really enjoy OSMC for the reasons you mention here, as well as the friendly and helpful community. I use it with a RPi2 and a Vero 4K that mains media center but doubles as a small server for various purposes.
Well, with only a week from "launch" to availability it's perhaps unkind to call it a paper launch - those boxes are already on their way to retailers.
No matter what Mozilla does or doesn't do they get criticized here, it might be different people criticizing different things but still...
This AC hates this Rust idea and wants a faster browser not new features. Well, Servo and the Rust projects is exactly about that: a faster, smoother, safer browsing experience, not new features.
Given the quality of our comments recently, here is a good presentation with some actual information on their work currently and going forwards: Servo Architecture: Safety and Performance.
Could you share how you got it on Roku? I just bought a Roku here in Canada and the Amazon Video channel is not available, would be great to watch it on the Roku (I have Canadian Prime).
I agree with your first sentence but respectfully disagree with the rest; these things are exactly what makes a laptop a premium one and I think it's fair enough. If I had lots of disposable income I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I like macOS too but to be fair I can use any OS, I'm not religious, I dropped religion after the great OS/2 flame wars.
I still have my 2006 Macbook Pro and apart from the battery it's almost like new, after all these years even moving parts like the fans are in perfectly good condition..
I replaced it with a cheap Clevo because I play games and I'm on a tighter budget now. I'd run Kubuntu on the Clevo but GuildWars 2 ran like crap on Linux last I tried, so Windows it is.
I just updated my 2006 Macbook Pro C2D to KUbuntu 14.04 from SnowLeopard because Chrome/Firefox don't support it anymore..
For some reason the 64 bit version couldn't boot so had to be 32bit KUbuntu. Google Chrome doesn't come for 32bit Linux, Chromium does but couldn't load pages. Fortunately Firefox still works but I fear I won't get many more years out of it.

Whenever a new thing happens, small or big, "media outlets" will call it InsertBrandHere-KILLER because... clickbait.

Batteries though, maybe ten years?

You guys take the movie far too seriously. It's meant as light comedy/satire. Just a fun time over a few beverages.

So how well does Uber handle wheelchairs?
Any CEO worth his salt will find a way to play Solitaire on it.

DDG dropped Google many years ago. They have many sources but the main source now is Bing.

If I see one more picture of mindlessly happy people I shall raise my cane in a threatening manner!
So, no desktop support - more fragmentation then...
