"it was created somewhere between a hundred thousand years and a hundred million years ago"
That's a fairly vague estimate, and I understand at this time it's the best they can come up with, but I'n wondering if this estimate can be tightened with more observations and analysis.
Any statistics to back that up? I'm not saying you're wrong, just curious. Off the top of my head I'm thinking of a few reasons for this outcome, none related to reliability in time.
So, wait... you provided "5 years of OS updates" as a selling point and now you provide "the ability to turn them off" as another selling point? Makes no sense. But I am not here for the Android versus iOS or Google versus Apple wars. I was just refuting your argument, because it's very easy to cherry-pick positive things and omit negative things.
My take: if we analyze both pros and cons for either of the two opposing parties (Apple/Google or Android/iOS) there will be perfect balance in the end. Either are equally good and equally bad at the same time. It's a matter of preference.
List of personally-owned devices that have an USB Type C port, and how many such ports they have: - Desktop PC (1) - Lenovo X1 Tablet (1) - Monitor (Samsung C34H890) (1) - Port Replicator for laptop (2) - nVME SSD external enclosure (1) - Phone (Samsung Note 9) (1) - Samsung DEX (1)
Add 5 or 6 chargers to that, that's a lot of USB type C cables needed for that.
And you missed the point of the whole article: iPhones do NOT use USB type C, contrary to what you are implying. Or maybe you got confused, I don't know.
They are specifically talking about the forward functionality, you know, that little arrow next to a received post which allows you to click and select one or more recipients. Not the ability to copy an URL or a text to clipboard and paste it manually to other recipients.
No, it doesn't. Nor would it limit the ability to manually spread fake news either. Just yesterday I shared on WhatsApp a Facebook post with pictures of some wicked-ass PC modding. I shared it with 8 people, by copy/pasting the URL to the Facebook entry. You will be able to do that in the future as well.
I apologize, it seems we both misunderstood each other. What I wanted to say is: when presenting information such as news, reviews, one should, IMO, strive to be objective and avoid inflammatory constructions such as The miscast Wilson is about as intimidating as a gold fish”. On the other hand, if the article is intended as a purely subjective, based-on-what-I-think-about-it piece, regardless whether it would objectively be correct or not, then by all means be ready to deal with the fallout.
It should be one or the other, you can't have both. I've seen time and again perceptions such as "I can write however I want but you can't reply however you want". If the article is written in such a way to provoke visceral reactions, well, tough luck.
And about polarization, if you put up a video on Youtube and it has 5000 likes and 30 dislikes, that's not polarizing at all. But when you look at politics, well, that's a whole different animal, unfortunately.
Hate or Love are signs that you have moved someone, which is valuable either way - because you have changed the universe in same way, at least a little bit
In other words, everyone should start writing inflammatory, divisive, polarizing texts. Change the Universe, one little conflict at the time!
I have 14 unread messages. Usually there's 3 to 5, but today I was busy with other things and didn't parse my new messages. My work account has lots of subfolders, but my personal GMail account has labels attached to e-mails. The place where they reside should not be relevant.
The address is in my contact list, has been there since day 1. I clicked No Spam, obviously, when that happened. I guess it sees it as SPAM because sometimes I am getting up to 15 such e-mails per day.

I like this kind of articles, they expand my knowledge of things astronomical.
Its proximity defies the laws of "psychics".

They probably don't. Not in the sense we think of, e.g. tapes.

The kind of OS updates that slowed down the CPU on phones where power draw exceeded what could be provided by the worn out battery?
That's what they say, isn't it? Believing it is a choice.

The kind of OS updates that deliberately slow down your phone "to protect customers"? Yeah, I wonder...

They don't use magic to rotate the cylinder of resin, but a motor. That qualifies as "mechanical part".

I'd venture to say society is the disease.
Maybe that was it.
Yes, PC modding can be very dangerous to governments.

Yes, because car exhaust fumes aren't smelly at all.

Come to think of it, Aquaman” is a great product name for lube.
...I would just like to say that Mr. Trump is a product of current society, rather than the other way around.
Yes, it's when you fuck both Mona and Lisa and later find out they both had different STDs, which they graciously passed onto you.
Good idea, I'll do that.
