They built Google Nexus phone in 2015. I have their Honor Note 8, shipped direct from China for half price of what it would sell for in US. I am very impressed with quality. If their laptop is not a locked down piece of shit like Lenovo or HP than I will line up to get one.
I have been using Cygwin and ssh for some time. There is some file permission compatibility and username letter case headache, but it mostly works otherwise. We are still on Windows 7 though.
Not easy, since 99% of employers deploy Windows, and OS is not the top consideration in the process of changing employers. In fact, I got a permission to convert my second desktop to Linux but so far found no use for it, since the rest of the company is all Windows servers.
I often suspect that the only reason deer and hedgehogs do not jump in front of my car on a daily basis is because the evolution "taught" the animals to observe the traffic laws.
Most humans, especially Americans, already hate automated service of any kind. Being served by an actual human is a luxury
I read almost exactly this, word for word, in an 1998 prediction that brick and mortar stores will never be replaced by online stores because people value human interaction.... you will never guess what happened over the next 20 years!
We had DOS at my high school. Upon joining college I was introduced to C-shell on a UNIX terminal. For many years to come I could not comprehend how did the invisible hand of the market could fail us so badly, with the shitty and crashy OS being the monopoly.
It does not matter who he is or what his realm is. They are retaliating against him by mis-applying some law for daring to bring up their incompetence. If not for this they could re-examine his tax return, charged him with insider trading, etc.
Hardly anyone is going to want to just barely survive for free
Speak for yourself, in all major US cities we have entire boroughs filled with people on welfare and not even trying to work. What's more is they breed more children without investing in their upbringing, only because they get paid more for each child. On the other hand, UBI will simply replace welfare so it's probably good.
Let's say a criminal is bound to a wheelchair and need a wheelchair attendant to push him around. He sneaks on a victim, while being pushed by an attendant, and shoots the victim multiple times. Does the police have no right to question his attendant? How is the pacemaker log different? "because it is a medical necessity" applies to both cases. "because on a computer" is not a valid argument, and you know it.
So, what's your proposal to drag Islam from the Middle Ages all the way to the 21st century?
Easy, here it is:
1. stop bombing the living shit out of them
2. stop invading random countries to pump their oil
3. stop assassinating local leaders we don't like
4. don't install puppet governments in place of assassinated leaders we didn't like.
Path to stability needs to be.... stable. I mean if you are out to bomb them then also please occupy, name them your colony and be responsible for what happens over the next few decades, rather than retreating and letting local warlords slug it off for dominance circa 1269.
Suse is as much in Linux business as Nokia is in smartphone business. If they did not go belly up yet they will soon. For now they will stay afloat as MS proxy, until MS no longer needs them.
And by "broken" I mean not compatible to itself, and MS will insist that theirs is the correct one and the original should be fed to the dogs. This is the sad story of every "open" product support by MS:
1. MS-Java was taken to court by Sun for not being compartible to Java. MS had to rename it to.Net
2. MS implementation of open document standard is never 100% compatible with open document readers.
3. IE is not HTML compatible to this day. I don't do web development but based on my research they struggle with IE peculiarities big time
4. MS Linux is guaranteed to break everything Linux, not just because of lack of diligence but due to MS custom APIs, enhancements and "improvements". We are only safe until MS distro becomes the leading one.
By Tesla's own calculations, gas savings will net you slightly over $1000 per year. That's nowhere near to justify a $90K price tag, unless you are comparing to an $80K luxury SUV. On a flip side, Model X might make sense for commercial use, where it can easily hit the insane mileage you quoted within its lifetime.
Who cares about stop light? I need a count-down on the yellow light, and it needs to be in milliseconds... and I only needed where the red light camera is installed.
I work on Windows 7, and it has a never-ending list of issues that should not exist. I will probably go ahead and create a blog of windows woes, but here is a quick summary off the top of my head:
- A file that is open somewhere cannot be touched. It does not matter if it has been months since it was last open, what matters if Windows *thinks* it is open.
- Some simple filenames are illegal. You will find which ones when a client is using your program.
- Command line and command line tools are unusable or not-existent. Better use Cygwin
- Sometimes it does not let you touch a file that you created.
- Sometimes you, an Administrator, do not have permission to change permissions.... on a file that you created.
- Should you win the war on permissions, it will not let you touch your file because "the file is open". (see #1 above)
The pedestrian is a bandit who stepped on the road to cause a swerve into a tree and some easy rape and pillage. Yes, it happens, and will happen a lot more often when they know the outcome beforehand.
You can also offshore mathematicians, physicists, doctors... should they all be replaced with vocational school graduates? What happens when our vocational school graduates are replaced with offshore vocational school graduates, because those will be always cheaper?
If you don't like their decision, look for another manufacturer.
Yes, like a manufacturer who ships products with BEOS, who Microsoft threatened to squash by the power of monopoly. Oh wait, there are none left. These days you can buy a device that ships with Android and pony up only a nominal Microsoft tax. Plenty of options!
Firefox turned against Firefox. It is slow borderline unusable for any pages that stream video or use scripting heavily. When Firefox's own ex-CEO decided to use Chromium for his new project it certifies that there are deep issues under the hood. I only keep it because of bookmarks, it will be purged from my new OS installs.
I own a 3 year old Tmobile-branded Samsung Galaxy note 3. My experience: 1. Loaded with uninstallable bloatware. 2. Some hard keys (long press) are hijacked to invoke said bloatware by accident. 3. Did not root because no time and afraid to brick $1000 device. 4. No software updates in 3 years. 5. This year there was an OS update that broke GPS.
I don't want to upgrade but need GPS daily. So far it seems that Nexus is the only way to go.

They are trying to restrict the audience to Adblock users only by making the website unusable for everybody else.

You mean artificially throttle all communications on the mainland to compensate.

Were [any] of these resolved in Windows 10?
What am I supposed to do with this insightful information?
It proves Mercedes manager right.
