Given I've heard the same thing from an orthopedic surgeon in going to believe him. You don't need exercise to lose weight. In the absence of food your get reserves get consumed far faster than muscle.
Restrict your diet and you lose weight. You can't do that to maintain weight loss because that isn't what a diet is, that would be "lifestyle change".
You don't test it all, you test it by heat number. If you're receiving abuse for asking for these tests maybe you just have one of those personalities that attracts abuse. They are industry standard.
Most web surfing involves text, images, and perhaps video in a well-defined box.
WTF? Did you stop using the browser in 2002 and then time travel 15 years? The internet hasn't been that in a LONG time. Hell if that is your definition of the internet we wouldn't be having this conversation because even Slashdot requires far more complexity than that, and it is incredibly frigging simple compared to most of the internet.
Considering that Samsung can barely get updates out for their devices as it is, how do they have the bandwidth to put out linux distros?
What the fuck are you talking about when was the last time you use...
The last Samsung device I owned was an S3
ooooh. Yeah man, get with the times. Samsung have kept their devices up to date with security patches since the patching framework in Kitkat was released. Hell even the Galaxy S4 received updates this year.
Disappointed? Why? When have you ever not been able to unlock the bootloader of a Samsung device other than maybe on the day of release?
Hell I used to preference Samsung phones because other OS images were so well supported on them. But now... workphone. Sigh. Just as well they got a bit better at making software.
It used to be, especially prior to KitKat, but it stopped being "complete crap" a long time ago and now is little more than personal preferences. Samsung's launcher is a bit weird, but easily replaced. Underneath though it's pretty much as Android as Pixel and seems to run just as well.
"Unnecessary processes" don't run. Hell half the shit people complain about are basic functionality of the phone. If you want a feature phone, get a feature phone instead of a phone with features. Most of the "unnecessary processes" are listed right in the marketing material and providing the phone without them would be just open up the opposite complaint: "I bought X why can't the phone do it out of the box! OMG class action!"
Whenever I feel like laughing at idiots it's always fun to read the 1 star reviews on the ant+ service helper on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/... Idiots basically saying the equivalent of "But I never plug my ethernet cable in, why does my computer have an ethernet driver!"
Sorry but you have that backwards. The spectacular failures were all the result of what the phone was trying to be and none at all to do with the hardware / drivers which basically were provided by partners as it was. Driver support was not some great difficulty, and it wasn't some basement neckbeard reverse engineering some half-arsed support to bake into the kernel.
GUI design is hard. GUI design for a touch is even harder. Adapting an existing GUI to a completely different form factor universally results in the train-wreak that was all the previous attempts at "bringing Linux to the phone". My Worst Idea Ever (TM) comment didn't even consider that there may be driver or hardware issues to overcome. But I guess we can call that My God There Was A Worse Idea OS (TM).
A few companies have put a huge amount of effort into making GNU/Linux usable on a smart phone and have failed spectacularly. You only wish for Linux on your smartphone because of altruism not because you have put any thought into how well in its current form it would actually work.
So what? Have you had your credit card stolen before? Fake purchases made in your name? I have, and I cleared the entire "drama" with a 5 minute phone call and 2 min filling out an online form.
On the other hand your local government has the power to properly fuck up your life. I'd wager there's lots of people who put far more trust in Russian controlled stuff than that of their own government.
The 1 MWh battery they have is laughably tiny. For a typical power plant churning out 500 MW, that's 7.2 seconds worth of electricity.
So exactly the right size to allow a windfarm to ride through a sudden grid induced load shift and thus potentially avoid a cascading outage of the entire wind farm as it loses synchronisation to the grid.
If you can't bring a rocket to the moon because of gravity, you don't belong into rocket science.
Yes but that doesn't change the fact that gravity is fundamentally your biggest problem. Also users are more like anti-gravity, or rather gravity that gets stronger in opposite ways than you expect where the further the distance from the mass the stronger it gets.
That's kind of how the whole "build a better idiot" thing works.
The problem is that this level of sandboxing is incredibly anti-user and anti-developer. Basically any OS should do what the user wants and by extension the easiest way for malware to access the machine is to simply ask the dumb meathead sitting in the chair.
You know I can't remember the last time a virus actually spread via some gateway device, as opposed to USB stick, pre-installed on some driver CD, etc.
Gateway scanning is no where near as effective which is why most corporations take both approaches.
but how many people will remember instantly the correct spelling of "Aardvark"?
Everyone. Most people think it's the fist word in the dictionary (and aside from "a" it actually is the first one in common usage) and thus know it starts with 2 As and the rest of the word is spelled quite phonetically.
It seems more people can correctly spell aardvark than know the difference between then and than, there and their, etc.
I'm not sure what you definition is of a "formal" complaint
I'm sure that fits the definition of the formal complaint, but that does not fit the definition of a fact. Also from TFA:
The company received a complaint from Owen Diaz in October 2015 about a belligerent co-worker. But, the company said, “that email made no mention of the use of any racist language or epithets.”
He said / She said is the reason we have a court system. Tesla should be judged *after* the courts had their say, not when some dude goes to some news site which publishes some random story.
Yeah because America the world's capital of litigation is such a shining example of companies who go out of their way to care about the interests of their customers.
Your comment would be laughable if it wouldn't make so many people cry while assuming the fetal position.
Slashdot Mirror
You use that word "inevitable" but I don't think you know what it means.
The question of "where does it stop" is always answered with "somewhere". There's nothing inevitable about your conclusion.
Given I've heard the same thing from an orthopedic surgeon in going to believe him. You don't need exercise to lose weight. In the absence of food your get reserves get consumed far faster than muscle.
Restrict your diet and you lose weight. You can't do that to maintain weight loss because that isn't what a diet is, that would be "lifestyle change".
You don't test it all, you test it by heat number. If you're receiving abuse for asking for these tests maybe you just have one of those personalities that attracts abuse. They are industry standard.
Only if they report it anything other than average. In the absence of data average is a pretty good estimate.
No ads, clean uninterrupted browsing,
Yeah finally we can have a clean internet. The only problem would be battery li
In practice these horrible full page reloads are faster than loading megabytes of JS
You managed to get Google Fibre working on your 486? Where did you even find a compatible network card!

So just buy any Google phone. You know a Google account is optional right? As is running Google's Launcher, and anything else by Google on it.

Then you should learn to communicate your context, especially in a discussion about how to solve the problem in a general case.
This to me sounds like the Worst Idea Ever (TM).
A few companies have put a huge amount of effort into making GNU/Linux usable on a smart phone and have failed spectacularly. You only wish for Linux on your smartphone because of altruism not because you have put any thought into how well in its current form it would actually work.

It's not going away, but it's also not coming out of obscurity which makes it completely irrelevant to the discussion.
The 1 MWh battery they have is laughably tiny. For a typical power plant churning out 500 MW, that's 7.2 seconds worth of electricity.
So exactly the right size to allow a windfarm to ride through a sudden grid induced load shift and thus potentially avoid a cascading outage of the entire wind farm as it loses synchronisation to the grid.
Not everything is about powering homes.
Oh don't be a mo.... oh. Nice.
The American government are the biggest advocate for the removal of this software. The message is still consistent.
