Yeah, there are a ton of apps that are clearly either non-essential or redundant, and what's worse - they come in phones/tablets that just have 16GB of storage. One can very quickly run out of space, and even in Android Marshmallow and beyond, even if one formats an SD card as an internal card, there are some apps that just insist on residing in the real internal storage, just won't move.
Mac mini: Processor upgrades expected.
MacBook Pro: Processor upgrades expected.
MacBook: Processor upgrades expected.
New Low-Priced Notebook: Kuo believes Apple is designing a new low-priced notebook. He originally said that this would be in the MacBook Air family, but now has changed his mind. Previous rumors have suggested this machine could be a 12-inch MacBook.
iMac: Significant display performance upgrade alongside a processor upgrade.
Why doesn't Apple seize this opportunity to migrate from the x64 to their A series - A10, A11,...? Have the same base CPU that they have in iPhones & iPads, and let OS-X and iOS only be different in the way that Windows tablet and desktop mode are different. And have the same wide range of apps for OS-X in the process
Two questions arise: if they have licensed AMD's Zen architecture, does that allow them to support Intel's x32, which is the cross licensing exclusive that Intel and AMD have (or at least had), which allowed Intel to use AMD64 and AMD to use IA32? Or have we come to the point where it's no longer necessary to support 32-bit in x64?
As for AMD, this is the only way they can gain any significant marketshare anywhere - by taking their China partners and selling into China. In fact, those Chinese partners might as well acquire AMD directly, and make it all their own.
I'm guessing that they still need PCs, which they then preload w/ whichever pirated version of Windows is popular w/ their base. As for Via, no idea, but that would beg the question of who inherited the Cyrix/Centaur IP
RISC and SIMD address totally different issues. RISC is about the architecture of one CPU. SIMD is about how multiple CPUs work concurrently on various data sets
Pretty much agree. About a year back, Twitter demanded that I remove one of my posts about Muslim 'rapefugees' in Europe, (and provide my phone number if I wanted to be unsuspended), in a thread that was about that issue. Also, about that time, a lot of people that I had befriended across a few countries, saw their Twitter accounts banned, and I couldn't even go back and see past interesting things they had said.
I decided that there was no fucking way I was giving Twitter my phone number, but then, my email was getting bombarded from Twitter. So I decided to bite the bullet and get my account temporarily unsuspended, and then went ahead and deleted my account completely. If the people I liked and enjoyed reading were not welcome on that platform, I wasn't interested in staying there either.
I just wish everybody who got banned from Twitter or voluntarily left would go to gab, so that I could reconnect w/ them. Except that both Google and Apple have disabled them from their app stores, so the only way to interact there is on gab
But has anybody ever needed more than that in one's phone or tablet or camera? Also, even in Android 6 and beyond, even if one formats an SD card as internal memory, there are still certain apps - particularly system apps, that will insist on being on the physical internal storage, and won't touch the SD card. Storage companies are far better off selling Apple, Samsung, et al high density NOR flash ranging from 64GB to 512GB, thereby eliminating any storage issues for devices
Precisely! Ever since Windows 7, there was no reason to upgrade. Windows 8 did have an interesting internal reason - a brand new kernel that had microkernel properties, but Metro totally ruined the user experience. Windows 10 fixed that by splitting it into desktop and tablet modes, but the things now so frequently break make it a nightmare.
After several months of a break from PC-BSD which had become unusable, I recently bought a TrueOS 18 DVD, and think it has stabilized. Now I use it, as well as my tablets - both iOS and Android.
Part of the reason may often be the requirement to stand at all times. Standing for hours at a stretch is really grueling physically, and it does help to have tablets where customers can order what they want w/o requiring a waiter to walk all over the place, or having to wait for a waiter.
However, a lot of customers are jerks who simply don't deserve to be served: only reason they are is due to the cliche about customers always being right
Maybe, but the CO2 that is created when something like coal is burnt to either create energy or in mining operations could be collected and used to provide whatever CO2 the beverage industries need
That was the case in past years as well, but what is different is the fact that smartphones now have specs that are adequate and don't need upgrading. As an example, I upgraded from an iPhone 5s w/ 16GB storage last year to an iPhone 7 w/ 128GB. That is more than adequate for the foreseeable future i.e. until that phone dies! It's like w/ PCs over the last decade: people stopped upgrading b'cos PCs became fast enough for almost any and all tasks thrown at them.
Owned by Google. If privacy is important, why not just stick to Apple's packages, be it maps or mail or whatever? If it's not, why not go all the way w/ an Android phone?
Also, can Google be as strict w/ their Chinese partners as they are w/ DoD on insisting that their work not be used in weaponry? DoD may either agree or jinx the deal, but Google will do whatever Beijing orders them to do, since they won't want to lose their China access
Just imagine being the fucker that is watching the camera footage of this toilet camera. Literally inspecting shit and maybe even assholes leaving shits. Just remember this person's job the next time you think you are having a bad day.
Wouldn't this be precisely one of those jobs that would be assigned exclusively to AI?
The colored Mac gave them a bit of a bump, but ultimately failed to stop the decline in Macintosh sales. Ultimately it was the conversion to Unix, finally getting a decent OS that caused sales to continually increase.
Very true. It was a pity that it took next to forever to bring OS X to market. And it wasn't too long after that that they migrated from PowerPC to Intel.
However, it wasn't the conversion to Unix that changed their fortunes: what changed their fortunes was the successes of the iPod, iPad and finally the iPhone
Government policy shouldn't be either/or. Compromise and cooperation between BOTH sides.
No! The reason there are sides is that on most issues, there are 2 (or more) options very much contrary to each other. Either one is for less government or more intrusive government. Either one is for higher taxes or lower. Either one is for legalizing illegal immigrants or against it. Either one is for expanding legal immigration or shrinking it. Either one is a nationalist or globalist. Either one is for US having a greater military role abroad or less. Either one is for popularizing abortions or against it.
And that's why we have elections. So that the ideas that we support get implemented. There is no way that can happen if the party opposed to what I stand for gets elected. If the Dems win, I don't expect my taxes to go down. If the GOP wins, I don't expect a more intrusive government. Problem is that while we may be red on some issues, we may be blue on others, in which case, one has to weight each issue accordingly and then decide which party satisfies the sum total of what one supports
Saddam and Gaddafi were unfortunate enough to have globalists like Bush or Obama on the other end. Trump, unlike them, is not interested in toppling regimes, so Kim can feel safe there. Only issue would be after Trump, if any future globalist leader decides to support an insurrection, the same way Obama did in Libya. Gadaffi didn't anticipate that his cooperation w/ Bush would cost him when the leadership changed, and paid the price. So Kim would have to work out a deal where any future US administration would be legally prevented from ousting him, no matter what the situation
So far it is all just talk, no action. So don't get your hopes up. But Trump deserves credit for agreeing to meet, and getting the dialog going. Donald and Jong Un may hit it off, since they have very similar personalities. If the meeting in Pyongyang goes well, maybe Mr Kim can come to the White House for a BBQ later this year.
So Trump likes testing rockets and ballistic missiles every few weeks? Funny, I thought he was against almost all foreign military intervention, and has only reluctantly agreed to things like extending the presence in places like Afghanistan. Doesn't want anybody else's territory either, unlike Rocketman, who'd happily send his tanks into Seoul and Busan if he could
Before the creation of Israel, the term 'Palestinian' was used to refer to local Jews, while the Arabs were simply called Arabs. The term 'Palestinian' didn't exist before 1967, when Arafat decided to rebrand his people that to change world opinion. Until then, everybody saw it as a few million Jews in Israel vs all the Arabs in countries from Morocco to Iraq, and Syria to Sudan. By rebranding them as 'Palestinian', he changed the perception of Israel from a David to a Goliath.
Also historically, under various Muslim rulers, there was never any entity named 'Palestine': throughout history, it was a part of either Egypt or Syria, depending on who was the ruler. If they want to revert to history, maybe a good idea would be to hand over control of them to either President Sisi or President Assad.
'Palestinians', or more accurately, local Arabs, do live in that land. What you are likely describing is them occupying Israel and doing their damndest to reduce Jews to a minority, so that they can get rid of the one Jewish country that is actually the original home of the Jews
It's been 70 years, and everywhere else in the world, when people have been displaced, they settle down in newer countries and assimilate there, rather than carry that grudge across generations. Like Crimean Tatars in Uzbekistan, or Sindhi Hindus in India. Aside from the people in the West Bank or Gaza, there are Palis who left that area to settle in other countries, such as Tunisia, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, et al. There is no reason why they can't just settle down in those countries, and assimilate into their populations
How? Qualcomm's area of expertise is wireless technology, while Intuit is more into Finance. How does someone who's been working on 5G technology suddenly transition to a job where he'd have to develop financial software? (Much less biotech)
Ain't that the beginning of how Differential Calculus was developed? Breaking one variable into small parts, and then integrating all those parts to arrive at a more accurate result?
