Patent examiners only look at prior patents for prior art. They don't have the time to look else where. If you share an invention that isn't patented, someone will find it and apply for a patent. It it really is novel and nothing like it has been patented before it will be granted. They will then use it to sue everyone you shared the information with. Starting with the little guys who can't afford a decent lawyer.
It's extremely time consuming and expensive to invalidate a patent.
When autonomously changing lanes to obtain preset cruising speed (set by driver in excess of posted limit), do not pull out where there is no lane, accelerate and crash into barrier to kill the driver as punishment for asking the car to do 75 in a 65 zone.
Did you see what protocol your laptop supports? Maybe direct your frustration at the manufacturer if they require their proprietary charger instead of a standard one, not the specification.
If that's that case, they probably did it on purpose, to sell more chargers.
The whole "charge cable or data cable" is a mess created by poor quality manufacturers. They wanted to get in on the high markup market of "premium cables" but couldn't build a cable that meets the USB specs and hence is unable to reliably transfer data. So they just brand it as a "super mega ultra fast powerful charge only cable".
USB 3.1 is backwards compatible with 3.0. No need to worry about it, if both devices can do 10Gbps, great. If one can't, why are you complaining that you can't magically upgrade a devices hardware by plugging it in to another device with that capability?
No shit. Replacing a quality cable with a long, shitty one full of thin aluminium or steel cored cable is going to reduce the charging speed of anything. Devices only draw current until the voltage at the device drops to a predetermined level. The more voltage drop on your cheap ebay cable, the lower the current that will be used to charge the battery.
Same with crappy connectors with inadequate gold plating. Once the gold layer wears off, it will corrode. You'd best hope it doesn't do so while plugged in your phone, or you'll need to replace the phone connector too. Chances are it will though, with the corrosion accelerated by the current flow between the pins across the oil from your greasy fingers and pocket-sweat.
Sure, RAND() might only be pseudorandom but they're putting the numbers in the spreadsheet in a random order. It doesn't sound like they're sorting the application numbers before assigning them a pseudorandom number.
They're also yet another Chinese company buying up failing western companies to gain market share and making partnerships with other well known companies to push their products with someone else's name on them.
I find it hard to trust a company that is afraid of branding their products with their own name.
How is an article from 2015 still relevant? Blackberry don't make Blackberry phones anymore. TCL does since buying the name in 2016
in 1981 vinyl was more popular than cassette. Over 1 billion 12" LP's sold, 400 million cassettes. There were still sales of 7" records back then too, but they had already been overtaken by 12" https://www.cambridge.org/core...
So EU companies won't be able to reach non-EU countries and non-EU companies with any presence in EU won't be able to reach EU or non-EU countries.
I suppose if a non-EU company wanted to cut themselves entirely out of a huge market, they could save a bit on tax at the cost of revenue from nearly a billion people.
The word got out and it's bad for publicity that they were giving away everyone's data, if they knew about it or not, so they're now ending the deals.
I assume they wanted the data via Facebook, because it would be illegal for them to collect it themselves without prior explicit consent. If the users didn't consent they wouldn't get the data. If they could no longer use their device because they said no, they would be entitled to a refund.
Motorola used to be American owned. Google bought it then sold it a few years later minus the patents to Lenovo, who were an American company before IBM sold the division to China.
Blackberry was Canadian before it was sold to China.
They collected data on the users of phones with Facebook preinstalled, without the users knowing or giving them an opportunity to say no. They didn't need to ever open the Facebook app for Facebook to collect and share the data.
I doubt they sold the data to the Chinese manufacturers. I bet they paid them to take it, in exchange for preinstalling Facebook software on the devices.
A76 cores won't be cheap, at a smaller process than the Skylakes they can't beat in thermal or speed, they're still half the area size at 7nm than Skylake is at 14nm.
They're massive compared to the cheap ARM cores, like A53. They're adding massive numbers of transistors to get this extra performance. A76's apparently won't run some 32bit code either, you'll need a big.little chip so you can run Aarch32 code on the little cores.
Don't get me wrong, I still want ARM to succeed outside the smartphone, tablet and STB market. It's hard to find systems with A72 chips, let alone A73 or A75. The ones you do find are few and far between or more expensive than a low power Intel board. There's a few based on the RK3399 chip, but that's getting old now.
The vast majority of what's available is quad-core A53's with shit memory bandwidth. When was the last time you had a PC or laptop with a 16bit memory data bus? For the last decade it's been dual channel, 64 bit DDR, minimum. You're lucky if you can find an ARM board with 32bit single channel these days.
Same here. If you buy a vanity plate. they'll courier you new plates with a bag to send the old ones back too. You never have to line up at the "DMV".
They're replacing a stamped aluminium plate with an electronic device that requires power and a cell signal and has the downside of GPS tracking for law abiding citizens (and an easy way for criminals to discard it, hey, they already committed a crime by stealing your car, disabling to removing the tracker-plate isn't any worse)

so nothing confidential at all, just employee memo drafts?
Since when did my operating system have a differential?
Not unless you buy them from an official PS4 chicken nugget store.
It's the millennials' fault

Oh good, your singular anecdotal experience with one device disproves all the contrary anecdotal evidence. Thank you, thank you, thank you! /s

Comparing the Kryo 385 (Cortext A75 derived) at 2.95GHz to a Kryo 280 (Cortex A73 derived) at 2.9GHz
Not compared to any competitors products.
Don't forget speculative execution too.

LinkedIn was shit before Microsoft bought it.
Cool, why did they compare it to a Kaby lake or a Coffee lake? They're both still 14nm chips, how bad can a 7nm A76 be compared to them?
