To add to your comment, it's not just 80000 pounds over 18 wheels, it's that wear on a paved surface by a vehicle is a function of the FOURTH POWER of the axle weight.
So while actual weight presented on each wheel would be 44x that of a bicycle by your example, actual road wear is 62000000x worse for a truck compared to a bike.
There IS local save. There is no backup of local saves other than to the cloud. This is also been the case for 12 years now. People losing save data when sending their Wiis into repair has been common for a long time.
After hearing that, I wouldn't use a Nintendo Switch if someone gave me one.
That's a lot of talk right there. I'm going to call you out for virtue signalling.
The rub here is that Nintendo disallows local storage
Not quite. Nintendo disallows *external* or *removable* storage. Cloud save is only a backup of the saves on the device. Once you let your subscription lapse you will still have all your save games.
Just don't send your Switch in for repair. This is actually the same as it has been since the original Wii with saves tied to the device.
People will currently believe absolutely anything provided you get the narrative right and appeal to their emotions. There's no need to even doctor videos anymore. You just have to tell them.
Agreed. The problem is that with photos, video and voice all untrustable, what is left?
For the most part photos, videos and voice are only untrustable to the common person. To expert opinion identifying a doctored item is usually very straight forward.
Specialised devices are not universal devices designed to display universal content. On a specialised design you control all design and UI aspect (think Nest with it's circle display). The phone is a universal device. Webpages: rendered as rectangles. Documents: Rectangles. The camera app: rendered as rectangles.
As for how this happens, the OS works notification icons around it (one could say that notch takes up valuable notification realestate but whatever). However everything else, e.g. ANY fullscreen application is shit outta luck. The best you got there is sticking to Apple's developer guidelines which show a safe area far short of the notch, i.e. fullscreen only in name, not in spirit. The same goes for rounded corners, nice on the device edge, not so nice on the edge of the usable screen area.
Indeed. Offense is something taken not given and the little flowers should revert to their safe space. However my comments extend well beyond offending people in standards. The worst examples of these are something that is describes a very specific process using words with one-to-many translations in another language that are contextually dependent.
So while you rotate your USB device 3 times to get it in the right way (6 times in the dark since it is widely known that USB activates a hidden f-you mode when the lights are out) I just throw my phone on the bedside table and call it a night. It's slow to charge? Well fortunatley it has a lot of time to do it.
I have a stand I can leave the watch on to charge so it's at a nice angle to read, and even the phone I would prefer angled up so I could quickly glance to see in the morning if I have important messages waiting.
So buy one of the many angled charging stations... I don't understand your complaint. Car analogy: I want to drive a sports car but I don't feel like getting a sports car and this is fundamentally the sport car's fault.
This is why you bothered reading it. If you know how to defeat a full disk encryption of a locked but powered on computer to extract data in 5 minutes then chances are you learnt that by reading about attacks requiring physical access for 5 minutes.
I have used both. Situations where long press was unsuitable, so was 3D touch as there few practical differences between holding in place for a split second as there is about controlling how hard you tap something.
The long press however has an advantage. Visual feedback can instantly provide information about the long tap duration and even the presence of the option. You can't do that if you react instantly to an input. 3D Touch's application is straight from the Microsoft "we make things happen through gestures and screen edges but give you no indication that there's anything special about those gestures or edges" playbook.
The point of an eSIM is to make it easier to change carriers.
There is nothing easier than slotting something into the side of the phone online, hot and having it instantly work. Sure as hell not scanning QR codes, calling carriers, or anything else that actively requires a wireless or otherwise connection to any 3rd party to make something work.
The application of the language is a problem that depends on the application of the language. If you're an english only publication for english only readers then write something using as fancy and complicated language as you want.
If you're an international standards body with a target audience including non-native speakers and you assume that every reader will need to understand semantic nuances of the language to apply the standard, then expect to stand infront of the courtroom as liable.
You want to fuck around with english, go study classic literally. Engineers are too busy to play silly games.
for this year's device that has a slightly different screen
There is nothing slightly different about a notch. It upends 40 years worth of standardised visual screen space design by introducing an unoperable area of the screen that extends into content areas.
Not just that the notch is an ugly blemish but it also needs to be worked around content wise. Your camera takes square photos, you look at them, there's a black thing in your field of vision, hopefully it's not masking the fact that someone is hanging their dick out in the corner of your frame as you send that photo to your grandma./extreme example
The RRRC has been the recipient of many millions of dollars of government funding. Much of this has been sqandered on wasteful programs ranging from pointless sub and sub sub contracting of maintaining the reef to tour boat operators to the downright absurd such as installing giant fans underwater to mix the deep cold water with warm surface water and average everything out.
The RRRC is constantly at odds with scientists who study the reef and also have maintaining commercial tourism in their primary remit. It should come as no surprise that they are giving a rosy outlook despite what many scientists say.
You can't blame the source language, it is up the translator to learn the potential misunderstandings and avoid them.
Of course you can blame the source language. If it takes a skilled translator to understand the meaning, but alternative wording would have made the meaning clear to all then the problem is the source language not the translator.
Like the company that produced the iPhone smartphone without 3G at a time when 3G was being quickly adopted, that proceeded to produce the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS shortly after, and when the world started quickly adopting 4G they produced the iPhone 4 and 4S both of which didn't have any extra GS despite claiming to be cutting edge.
I find myself saying the name of my phone a whole zero times daily.
No, but I bet you you googled the damn thing before you bought it. Names convey meaning, they always have. Product names most definitely do matter in that regard.
I do. They aren't providing a second SIM because they are nice. They are providing a second SIM for compatibility. Give the adoption phase a year or two and watch Apple go all headphone jack on your SIM.
Not that it actually is an unlocking issue since these devices are unlocked anyway, but it is a PITA to change carriers compared to hot-swapping SIMs.
So no, you could (almost) never just use a paperclip and swap carriers.
Err yes you can and people do it all the time. It's a pretty damn classic use case for any traveler. Hell you can even buy phone cases with openable storage slots on the back for all the SIM cards you currently don't use. Back when I was burdened with an iPhone I used to regularly swap between two major carriers as well since one provided a better data package and the other provided better coverage when I was driving out to the bush.

No set of bluetooth headphones could last the duration
As someone who flies AMS to SYD frequently enough I have to say you are definitely buying the wrong headphones if you can't make it last LHR to LAX.
Oh yay, another device that needs charging.

Don't program for a web browser.
Don't want to succeed, don't program for a popular platform.
Pull the hard drive, take home and decrypt at will
If you have the encryption key to the drive I assume you probably have all the other login details as well.
If I have 5 min alone with system its mine.

Personally I seldom used the headphone jack on phones
So you use the headphone jack.

Oh My God! /usr/bin/touch promotes sexual assult. That's got to go too.
Oh that's cute. You people are touching each other. Get with the 1970s and /usr/bin/finger each other like real nerds.

No, but I bet you you googled the damn thing before you bought it. Names convey meaning, they always have. Product names most definitely do matter in that regard.
Hence I don’t see it as a lock down issue.
