This argument was around 10 years ago when 4:3 screen laptops were still available.
16:9 are cheaper in several ways.
You get bigger numbers for marketing with lower screen area. 1280x1024 is a bigger, more expensive screen than 1280x768. 1600x1200 is similar to 1920x1080, but the numbers are much smaller.
Laptop widths are dictated by keyboard size too. To fill out a standard laptop width with a wide screen means you can have a smaller screen. The laptop base doesn't have to be as deep to match the screen either.
Laptop batteries are kept fully charged, right next to the hottest components in the system.
It's like they are designed to degrade the life of the high margin consumable part of the product you can usually only buy from the manufacturer due to its proprietary design..
Lithium batteries tend to lose capacity fastest when they're kept at full charge and high temperature. If you manage temperature well and keep them between 20 and 80% charge, they'll last a long time.
I wouldn't be surprised if they over-provisioned the batteries to trade capacity for service length by not charging the cells as much as they could.
They're going to be asking EU citizens for consent. Every non-EU citizen is going to get a new terms of use to accept as well, so they're exempt from the EU rules. Those new terms will be accept to stop using the service.
I do wonder which non-EU country they're going to be based out of though. They won't be able to use Irish tax laws for their advantage for the majority of their users soon.
NZ has a market where an ISP can do what they please. There is little barrier to entry for new ISP's. If they do things people don't like, their customers will switch. Last time I switched I was without internet access for only 5 minutes while I swapped routers. I switched because a competitor offered a cheaper, faster service.
The key is no artificial barriers for new ISP's and a clear separation between wholesale and retail.
You bleating on about arresting CEO's, deleting companies and seizing assets makes you appear to be a moron, so I'm not surprised you don't understand.
Maybe you'll get something equivalent to Windows 7 in another 10 years then. However, most of the API layers will only be mostly complete and your old software will only mostly work.
I never mentioned slowing traffic. I was talking solely about zero rating.
In a market where wholesale and retail are separated, you literally have dozens of ISP's (even in this little country of less than 5 million people) Zero rating becomes a differentiator for the ISP's, not a tool for Big Media to cut out the little guy. Big Media would need to engage in anti-competitive behaviour with multiple companies, greatly increasing their risk of being caught and prosecuted or publicly outed if they did it through a loophole.
That's what I am thinking about. It's better to actually complete the support they've started, instead of moving on to the next version and leaving the old stuff not fully working.
Currently we have zero rating available for mobile customers, you can buy a "socialiser" pack for your mobile plan, so Facebook et al. don't count towards your data caps.
Many many years ago I had a cable plan where NZ traffic was counted at 10%, so if you used local services (back in the day where DC++ was popular) and you effectively had 10x your data limit. Most local traffic between ISPs went through free peer exchanges while international traffic was costly for ISP's.
I'm sure there are ISP's that offer other zero rating plans for the likes of TV streaming.
I guess it would be different if an ISP had a monopoly in any area, but wholesale and retail has been split by with government regulation. Any ISP can serve any customer, whether it's via DSL or Fibre. It's only wireless ISP's that run their physical networks.
It appears they're only providing updates to phones they're required to. Project Fi requires them to provide regular updates. Turns out they don't give a shit about regular retail customers.

The "standard" is not a standard.
Applications have moved on from static pixel level positioning of UI controls.

You ICE probably burns 10% more fuel after 160,000 miles and has probably lost power too.
Unless you completely rebuild the engine...

How do we bookmark sites again?
Control-D
D is for Deepfake.
I suppose when I set up email filters, that too is your definition of writing code?
When I tell someone how to get to a specific destination using a list of instructions, I'm programming them with code too?
You could always make your own "skill"
You can now make your own skill without writing code.

Roll to the rescue!

Perhaps you should click on the ads and then avoid purchasing anything from the company.
If more people did that, ads would cost more and return less value.
You don't trust the OS firewall, but you do trust it's DNS resolver to respect your host file.
You've missed the point entirely

The maps are just estimates, coloured for effect, not accuracy.

So now that Vista is almost 12 years old, ReactOS almost supports software written for it!
Has NT5 support been finished yet? It does seem like a good idea to finish one thing before starting a new thing. NT5 hasn't changed in over 10 years.
It's worked quite well in NZ before.

If you consider that PET is comprised solely of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen, then yes, it probably does.
Like anything that breaks down hydrocarbons. Including you when you breathe.
This is the precursor to the great plastic plague of 2020
Where if the people running the corporation do really bad things, they are held responsible, not the company.
You've obviously fallen for their propaganda then.
So by "soon be bigger than the USA's" you mean, maybe 20 years?
