  1. Not just manufacturers, it gives competitors like Bing an option to pay the manufacturers to include their search as the default (thus covering Google's fee).

  2. Re:Comply, and let things sort themselves out on Google Appeals $5 Billion EU Fine In Android Case (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Google search, and chrome, which are everywhere and well supported are a good base to start with.

    The EU seems to think this is not a coincidence.

    What are you talking about? Google services including the Play Store are not at all open source. The EU has no problem with Android (misleading headline). You must be trolling if you think Microsoft has never been bothered by the EU over antitrust suits related to bundling web browsers.

    But since then, the economy is rocking, unemployment is low (record lows for minorities) Both mostly due to all the regulations that his administration has cut. We now have a renegotiated trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, NK is still at the bargaining table. The Embassy in Israel is where it belongs decades after congress passed a bill ordering it to be moved to Jerusalem. We have Justice Gorsuch and soon will have Kavanaugh on the court as well. (No corroborating evidence or witnesses).

    And there it is. Conservatives don't give a shit about morality or children's health. The ends justify the means.

    when that is HIS fears(being called a Nazi), because he doesn't retreat at being labeled a "white cis male", that is really telling to where we are as a society.

    It doesn't sound to me like his fear is being called a Nazi or that his intent is to retreat from those that would call him a "white cis male". It sounds to me like he's so appalled at the real white nationalist movement that he wants to distance himself any way he can.

    the low-life scum on the internet that think it's OK to be a white nationalist Nazi, and have some truly nasty misogynistic, homophobic or transphobic behaviour. And those people were complaining about too much political correctness too

    I've seen too many "free speech is hate speech" posters at free speech protests to think it'a all a sham. And how are protests against free speech even a thing at colleges?

    Are they a thing or is it just a nice little straw man for you?

    Who benefits from the suppression of free speech in America? People who imagine themselves your future rulers. People who want to achieve that "by any means necessary".

    Keep dreaming Dinesh. No one is secretly plotting to become your monarch (except maybe this guy).

    I don't think he caved exactly. I get the impression he was so disgusted with the "politically incorrect and proud of it" people that he signed up to the opposite just to make sure he wasn't lumped in with them (and I can easily see how he would be).

    I heard they'd have to put a tower on just about every corner.

    That's ultimately the goal (long term). We're not talking about big cell towers though. These are small cells and pico cells that can be mounted on roofs and lamp posts etc.

  18. The DNC chose to run Clinton

    The DNC didn't choose anything. It was the feckless democratic primary voters who voted for Hillary when they really wanted Bernie because they thought she had a better chance of winning in the general among other stupid reasons.

    That's a contract price. You can't even get a used Z2 force for that price.

  20. IIRC all Samsung smartphones are bootloader unlocked unless they are carrier branded.

    Nope. That's only true for the Exynos variants. The carrier unlocked phones with snapdragon CPUs have a locked down bootloader. They also make unlocking the Exynos phones very painful. With their knox efuse, you'll void your warranty even for hardware issues and the unlocking process takes like a week. Samsung is not friendly to tweakers.

    YES. The OLED displays actually can be always-on these days because they move the whole face around every minute but you still can't have any thick features showing or they won't move enough to prevent burn-in. Most of the face has to be black. Why everyone is obsessed with OLED for everything I do not know. Especially on a watch where you're going to want it on all the time, a screen technology that can burn in is obviously the wrong choice. I had a moto 360 v2 and my experience with the battery was the same as yours. I eventually got rid of it due to not lasting a whole day at the end and now of course I have a OLED watch. It looks nice but I miss watch faces with a full color background.
