Except, power production is in fact limited. Only so much power is produced from a particular source at a particular rate. Then, there is the infrastructure to handle the power load and so on. Any finite resource will invariably be worth more, the less available it becomes. Thus, it's perfectly logical that cost would increase when the additional loads of miners are taken into account. The utility starts having to pay more per kWh to meet the demand. That additional cost per kWh gets passed down to the customers. Each customer is still only charged for their usage, but the base rate is now higher.
Smartwatches sold in 2017 are around 75 million... with a projection of around 140 million for 2018. I don't care enough to dig too heavily into the numbers, but still.. 100 million isn't nothing.
They've already happened. Trying to say they're not going to happen is just idiocy or lunacy. The problem comes from businesses always thinking about growing a market. The market for smart watches exists, it's just not for everybody. It's not even necessarily for most people. Also, similar to tablets, smart watches aren't as needed due to having smartphones around. They're also not as likely to drive as frequent of repeat sales. People don't care as much about having the absolutely newest tablet or smart watch. They're a secondary device that don't need to be as cutting edge.
Yes, because everyone is going to always mistake that Q for an O. I'm not saying it can't happen, but it's no better/worse than the confusion between LED screens (LCD with LED backlight) and OLED screens.
Except, it's better to include a camera on the front so users have the option if/when needed... from a business standpoint. Also, there are other things than a camera to include there, like the ambient light and proximity sensor. There is also the earpiece to consider.
First, I'm not saying I'm a fan of the notch. I'm only stating it's not some big affront. Strictly speaking, the notch means more screen. One edge of the phone has to house the camera and everything on the front. There are only two options. The first option is one edge is dedicated to the components and the screen to body ratio is smaller. The other option is the notch. They're not taking a chunk out of the screen. They're expanding the screen around the notch. They're not removing something that you would have otherwise.
For what it's worth, I think we'd be better off without the notch and just having at least one bezel be larger to house the components. It just isn't as bad as people think it is. Also, I was talking about my experience with the notch on the iPhone X. So, if you're trying to say I'm defending one over the other.. you're mistaken.
The notch in android phones, or at least the big name ones doing it, isn't (just) a matter of ripping off the design to look like the essential or the iPhone X. The bezel-less trend is real. The notch allows for a higher screen ratio. Further, for what it's worth, the only downside to the notch is when a game or movie isn't designed for it correctly. The only problem I have had is when watching a movie, with their higher ratios. Anything recorded for 4:3 or 16:9 is just fine.
First, I'm not saying your wrong in any way. I'm making no statement about their use of the term treason. I'm just pointing out where the problem lies.
The "we" in their statement isn't overly defined, but in the context it likely includes gamers. Gamers are more likely to be younger than older. As everyone knows, younger people are much less likely to vote. For example, the 18-29 age group had ~46% turn out in 2016. Their comment about people staying home during the last election is perfectly valid, in the context.
Smartphones are not just a phone. They're a game console, an instant messanger, a web browser, TV(streaming and such), etc.... They're a hand held computer that is capable of placing phone calls.
I was about to say the same thing. VR puts the screen so close that you need the best resolution you can get. As to the battery life concerns, I think the variable resolution settings are the way to go. I know the S8 had it. Just lower the resolution for daily use and raise it up for VR.
Except, you can turn it off. You just have to deal with it the first time you use the computer. It isn't great, but it isn't like it keeps installing new apps after you turn the setting off.
No, it was just against Best Buy's policy, as stated in the summary. It's also generally considered scummy behavior. Like a lot of things, we expect it. We just want it to be assumed and not proven.
While having no cable service is technically an alternative to having cable service, it isn't a very good alternative when you want to have cable service.
Because application choice for Windows is superior to Linux. This goes doubly so for anyone that also plays games on their computer. It also comes with virtually every computer (Apple aside) sold. Why spend time and effort switching over to another operating system? It doesn't take a genius to figure out.
They said that Amazon and Google claim the same, not that Apple's claims were false. I think their point is that regardless of whether it's reporting everything back to Apple or not, some people still hate having microphones listening to everything.
First and foremost, zoning laws are nothing new. They have been deemed legal. This doesn't speak to the quality, just the legality. Second, zoning laws generally exist to improve quality of life for the residents. I don't think it's wrong for people living in a residential area to not want it to be full of temporary rentals.
R1 and R2 districts in Detroit are for single family homes and two family units. Based on their zoning, even R3 would be a hard sell for allowing temporary rentals. You have to get to R4 before hotels and motels are even permitted on a conditional basis. I'm not saying that airbnb and the like are equivalent to a motel, but I'm saying in community impact it's closer to a motel than a single family occupancy.
I do agree that the whole situation is completely BS. They're going after Cloudflare, because they might actually make money off it if they win. The only part of it that has any real standing in my eyes is the repeat offenders. I believe Cloudflare should be responsible if they allow repeat offenders to continue copyright infringement. However, whether the customer was a repeat offender should be determined by the courts.

I'm not implying it wouldn't, but only if fixing the problem costs less than just paying.

Sure, but only in so far as any response to a question qualifies as an answer.

Ostensibly to recover all the family photos, work docs, etc that got deleted accidentally.

Except, the reasons behind that are different have nothing to do with what they were talking about.

Sounds like TV and internet, maybe even phone, after the initial discount is gone.

The article links to a bulletin on hijacking of dynamic libraries on OSX. So......

Fighting what is perceived as a losing battle is not a waste of time. The battle itself has meaning, regardless of outcome.
