600ms RTT with the standard TCP window size would cap out any single TCP connection at around 1Mbit/s. Certainly not ideal for anything more than simple usage.
I will probably be the only person in here who actually owns a lumia so here it goes:
none of those apps did anything worthwhile. They are not competition in any shape or form. the ones that are worth it (like lumia camera) are already branded as microsoft apps and aren't going anywhere. M$ just got rid of stuff that would be expensive to maintain without any real benefit. So quit spreading your FUD...
google pays mozilla to be firefox frontpage for years = good
microsoft pays oneplus for bing to be frontpage = new precedent
that's how silly you sound...
Intel has a quarterly budget for R&D of $3.5B. Intel is one of the biggest spenders on R&D in tech. AMD has quarterly budget for R&D of around $250M...
And how will you handle output from those servers? random errors? or will you just fire it up and hope for the best? I'd suggest using puppet or some similar configuration management tool...
>Among the problems with this conclusion, the most egregious seems to be: Android is used in a way that Windows and IOS are not. People use it for lower-grade hardware that they are still manufacturing today. Go buy a $39 "unlocked" phone at your local Fry's (search for a brand like Blu). What will it be running? Android 2.3. Which is wonderful. They are calling this "fragmentation," but it's really people who could never spend the money for a $400 dollar phone finally getting access to one to what was a $400 phone 5 years ago. It can't run the latest O/S, but that's fine. The 2.x series phones (like my beloved Motorola Cliq) were really quite functional.
While I agree with what you said about users let me give you a different point of view.
I'm an android developer and I'm sick and tired of all this shit. And many other android developers that I know are too. The only reason why I still do android is that I work for corporation so I don't have to fear google suddenly banning my account or people not using the app.
It's nice people will still use android because it's cheap but when the devs decide that spending a week fixing shit and making it backwards compatible every god damn time an android update comes is not worth their time the android ecosystem will get into a lot of trouble. I mean look at 2.3 - most devs don't support it anymore, not worth our time. If you can't afford a decent phone chances are you are not going to buy apps or use IAPs. On top of that you will probably bitch and rate 1* because the app is slow and has ads...
and on top of all that you can buy an old shitty 2.3 android phone for $40 or $80 for a new unlocked for example lenovo/huawei/whatever phone that will be better in every possible way. Fragmentation is a real problem and it can quite literally destroy the ecosystem.
It's for organizations... You know, so you don't install stupid shit on your company laptop. It's not "microsoft says what you can install"... But you would actually have to read the article before commenting...
> I won't see any ads anyways, making the YouTube subscription of little value.
Except you can feel good about supporting people who make the videos you watch. I will gladly throw a few bucks a month at youtube so I'm ad-free and channels like minutephysics get paid.
to answer your question - everything you listed. We can pretend the computer knows our intention but it doesn't... we can pretend computers are responsible for our safety online but they are not...
and I get that when it comes to google - I get to use their services for "free". But I pay uber and many other companies for their services and I feel I'm entitled to privacy of data they have about me...
So please tell me, how would you design a system where you can't install software that contains a tracker. Any kind of security is only as strong as the weakest link. The OS/browser, if coded "right", can only protect you from unintended infection. if your computer nicely asks you if you want to install this crap and you say yes then it's your fault - not the developers... With dumb user interaction ANY OS can be attacked...
but you do already have "local storage" - they're called cookies. local storage (if it was actually used) provides safer way to store "cookies" (just an example). As a consumer you get a better experience and higher safety. If you're asking why, as a consumer, would you want anything beyond basic HTML then honestly I have no idea what to tell you.
And I mean come on, if I'm at the point where I need a wheelchair on earth... If I can choose I want to go out during a rocket launch (with a bang! KSP does that to you) rather than in a hospital bed.
The thing is - everybody is responsible for their security. We don't need to "go back" - we need to teach users how to be safe. I check my parents computer whenever I come see them. No toolbars, no malware, no viruses - because me and my brother took the time to teach them basics of computer security (and mostly to click "no/cancel" if unsure).

Yup, been using 10 for around 6 months and except minor problems with nvidia drivers I've been more than satisfied.
yes, nothing like running thousands of machine without support from the OS devs. lot's of fun...

sorry for the formatting, I have no idea why it ignores new lines or doesn't allow me to edit...

yeah, fuck all those content creators on youtube
They are shitty devs, that's my conclusion...

yes, just like AMD could blow intel out of the water if they tried...

So... You think that's not suspicious?
Canvas, local storage and bunch of other stuff important for developers. Why do you think flash and activex are pretty much dead?
Just ignore him and he'll go away...

Depending on what "production" means. A company website with cms? An internal IS for a small company? Absolutely no problem in production...
there would be no need to pirate it if I could watch it anytime I want. I refuse to build my time schedule around tv schedule...
