I'm wondering how it was calculated? Was is just raw salary, salary + available benefits, or salary + used benefits? I suspect women use more of the benefits than men do. Women are more likely to stay home when kids can't go to school. Men are often more likely to have unused vacation. Also in term of health benefits, women tend to be the more expensive gender.
I know I'm not alone here but many people listen to music to muffle the distracting chit-chat of office space. That unconscious listening to other peoples conversion is far more detrimental to creativity/focus that listening to music.
Maybe I'm a bit more susceptible to it than others because I have ADHD, but I often find myself being pulled in to other conversions even when I don't need to be in them. I find using intramental music works the best to keep focused. I know anything with lyrics engages my brain in a different way that makes it hard to concentrate on a task.
CD's were always my default fall back when I couldn't find lossless audio compression file formats. Also, CDs are guaranteed to be DRM free. I hope lossless audio becomes more prevalent than it is now.
So who chooses what SMS/MMS messages go through? If the customer has an option to subject themselves or not subject themselves to the carrier's filtering, I'm okay with that.
If the customer doesn't have a choice to enable/disable filtering, it is just a grab for censorship.
My feeling is use what works. I have no problem running wine or mono software on Linux. One of my daily critical pieces of software (keePass2) runs on Mono. My big concern is how does the software developer support me running it on Linux. Does the software developer support me running the their software wine or mono? The developer need to make very clear that they support these products on Linux and what libraries/dependencies are needed to be supported.
I understand that Linux has lots of distributions and support all of them in completely untenable unless you open source the program. Even then, that is difficult. The developer need to pick a few well known distros and support those. If I was software developer I'd make sure to only support the place were most of my customer or potential customers would want to install it. This is to limit manage my support costs.
Now the Europeans are paying the cost of GDPR and the unbundling case. I'm not saying the browser unbundling or GDPR are bad, but to say it happens at no cost is just being naive. I hope it was worth it for them.
If ARM is going to start making desktop class CPU/SoCs, this is where Linux can show off. Window doesn't have good ARM application support. The open source community has been supporting ARM for years. Instead of being behind the game in available software compared to Windows, Linux can ahead of the game in available software.
This could also help push more 3rd party binary software developers to port their software to ARM + Linux.
I think you're misunderstood the features.. While most modern browser can sorta do most of these things, a browser isn't the right tool for the job.
* Most browsers, even modern ones, don't really allow you to schedule a download without extenstions, let along let you have logic for if you're on a cell network or local lan. * Changing playback rate, can be managed in a local media player, but then means you just disconnected the usage, from at app so the next feature can't be monitored * Timestamp syncing - aka bookmarking. This isn't site bookmarking. This is current playback point logging in a podcasts. Some podcasts are multiple hours. You may not being trying to listen to your podcast from the same device/machine that you were previously listening to it. Having the app (and backing web services to store them) lets you store those timestamps on a server/service. If the file is played by an external player, how does that player know how and who to sync the timestamps too?
A podcast client is a bit more than a web browser with RSS support. People are looking for more than that anymore in an podcast client. They want to be able to stream or download it. They want to be able to speed up / slow down playback. They want to support both audio and video podcasts. They want cross-device placement/bookmark sync. They want intelligent downloading so they don't blow their data caps (particularly with cell data). That's a bit more than just a web browser with RSS support.
But I do agree with you on the big players trying to take a chunk out of RSS podcasts and RSS in general. I talked about that in https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=10677653&cid=54511965
But here is the thing, content rules. If people can't get the content that they want on big players app they want, they'll use a different app. Encourage you're content creator to stay platform agnostic. This doesn't let the draconian big players isolate content. If the big players want that content, force them to add support for open standards like RSS in their apps.
Right... And the fact that AMD just added competition to the market and Intel was forced to cut their prices on many of their chips and release the i9 series has nothing to do with that. The IT purchasers probably were finally able to get their needs past the bean counters to get what they needed now that prices are coming back into check.
Because US's annual raises rarely meet the US's annual inflation rates. So you are forced to move up the salary chain or effectively get a pay cut ever year.
The biggest issues with power use is the hardware drivers. Many times open source drivers are written without any involvement of the hardware manufacture's company. The manufacturers often don't publish the open hardware/firmware specifications. If they do, they can be incomplete. To get the full specs, you often have to be apart of some big company and sign an NDA agreement. This is very incompatible with open source code.
This leaves devices driver writers often black boxing the driver writing process so it is easy to miss things or not knowing if they've written the driver in the best or most efficient way possible. Most of the time it feels like we're lucky if it works and is stable.
This is why it is important to support companies the actively support open source driver releases. Binary blobs don't count. They're products often cost more, but if you're running Linux, you're more likely going to have a better experience.
These apply to the majority of phones out there...
Multi-day day usage with single charge - Removed Hardware keyboards - Removed User replaceable batteries - Removed Hardware buttons - Removed Phones that are actually think enought to hold - Removed Phones that can be used in one hand - Removed 3.5 Audio Plug - Removed
Here are the features that are on the chopping block: Expandable Memory Card Slot - Removal Pending....
The red light only helps if it is hardware and not firmware or software controlled. If it is software or firmware, it can be hacked.
The thing is they didn't need to be pop-out either. That's a lot of engineering that can break or knock out the lens out of alignment. How about just a physical sliding door over the lens? You know, a lens cover that we've had for decades. This keeps dirt and grim away as well as unwanted viewings.

Shouldn't it say Microsoft Windows compromises 800 million devices? :-D

How much you want to bet those machine got re-purposed as miners or the porn stash?
What about accessibility issues? A button press is a lot less movement requirement than a swipe.
More like Nest Secure - Securing your data for us.

Games: Ubuntu / Mate, SteamOS, Fedora (maybe)
Server Software: RHEL / CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu LTS, Suse

Shouldn't it be called the iPhone Excess?

Nice filesystem you got here. Be a shame if anything happened to it.

You mean when there is real competition, lower prices, and innovation there is more interest in PC market the market grows... Who'd a thunk it?
Tell that to the Native Americans. I think they would have agreed with you and you wouldn't be here either.

And 18.04.1 is when it goes LTS.
Dude,
You are old. You felt safe enough to publicly post your phone number on the public internet. (I remember those days too)
