HSPA+ was supported in 5 year old (compared to Nexus 4) Nokia dumb phones. I doubt they disabled that because it was quite standard and commonplace when Nexus 4 was released.
I've noticed this. Others come and go, but Microsoft usually supports their products to an insane limit. One example is hotmail. The other is WinXP. The other thing they do is they deteriorate/ignore their product so much that most people leave of their volition (MSN messenger).
1. Ditch the UI designers. They clearly haven't helped improve Firefox. It's better to have programmers creating UIs than designers.
I don't even give a shit about the UI if it runs bad. Once everything is perfect, they can change the UI all they want, without affecting performance and functionality.
Use modern C++ techniques, which render Rust irrelevant.
I'm glad someone said it. If you follow C++14 standards, there is no reason for Rust to exist anymore.
7. Actually finish the goddamn multi-process work. It has been going on for years now.
Multi-process is being treated like an optional "maybe we'll include this at some point if it is perfect" feature. Instead they should release a beta with multi-process (main Firefox beta, not electrolysis). People will use it and file bugs and then those bugs can be squashed. Within 6 months Firefox will be a nice multi-process browser.
8. Ditch the participants who are more concerned with "social justice" and promoting leftism than they are with producing the best web browser.
Those who do not follow meritocracy deserve to watch their browser die a slow death.
Surprisingly, other manufacturers also faced the same problems and came up with an easy, effective and cheaper solution: just build protections against shorts/over-current/over-voltage in your ports, upto a reasonable safety margin. So now my 10 year old HP desktop will show a discreet notification "The USB device on port 2 was drawing too much current and has been shut down." while the newest Macbook fries itself. Brilliant.
>when Benson connected it to a Pixel C to charge some device (Nexus Phone?), the Pixel was destroyed
This just indicates the poor quality of the Pixel's USB implementation. In this case, even an external power supply wasn't involved. Just a fucked up cable. So essentially, the Pixel fried itself just because of some shorted pins. I guess companies will keep making sub-standard products as long as idiots keep buying.
This is it. USB 1 and 2 have had overcurrent protection for a decade. These frying incidents are probably on cheap, consumer-grade laptops that skimped on the protections.
Hahahahahahahh! Huge and 2.8MB do not go together in the same sentence! These are phones with gigabytes of RAM. Gigabytes of super-fast flash storage, and screaming octa-core CPUs. And system crash due to a puny 2.8 megabytes table?! Is this a fucking joke?
Why the fuck would you buy a signature edition laptop and proceed to install Mcafee on it, thereby ruining it completely? One can only be so stupid, right? Right??
It's not about countries, it's about languages. English/American uses commas as separators and periods as decimal. So if someone flips them while writing in English, they are just an idiot.
To be fair if he is using a chromecast, he's probably just watching youtube. And Youtube will compress 1080p to a point where it looks identical to Super 8 footage. So 3-4 Mbps is probably overkill.
WTF is wrong with people putting a 30 minute video on a website's main page and it is the only content on the page?!!?! And the video features a guy with a fucking incomprehensible accent too. Just a couple of paragraphs of explanation would have been fine. I do not need a fucking 30 minute lecture.
I did the same thing over the holidays and I could not find the None option anywhere. As I have mentioned in another comment, their support told me to add a CC to create an account and remove it later. They said it happens for some people.
This does not work. I tried it. You literally cannot create a new account without providing a CC. The support guy said it happens sometimes and the only solution is to remove the CC later.

Ditto. Really weird.
840 is probably the most reliable laptop I've used, after the Thinkpad T430.

Wow your username definitely backs you up!

Are you trolling?
Make text great again!
I haven't seen "ugly flat icons in dull washed-out pastel colours and GUI elements that are invisible" since never. What fucked up OS are you using?
Fuck HDMI, I've moved directly to DP after VGA.
My ultrabook has RJ-45, VGA, DisplayPort (better than HDMI). Maybe you should buy better stuff.
I just read the first line: HP acquired EDS in 2008. Stagnates and splits into hardware and services companies in 2015.
HP did not split into hardware and services companies. They have split into consumer and enterprise companies.
Should I remove sourceforge from my uBlock blacklist? Or will they continue to inject malware?
Please change the UI to something simpler.

Is there a technical reason the same functionality can't be achieved without using the API?
