Conservatives hate socialism except when they're the ones receiving the wealth taken from others, which would've been the case for the billions in tax subsidies Amazon was promised in this deal. That would've come right out of the pockets of other businesses in the area who didn't get the benefit of those same tax cuts.
Their creative-cloud apps are slow as molasses and only make perfunctory use of the computing resources available to them, including GPUs and multiple CPU cores.
It's a predictive video and audio caching algorithm. iOS 13 is rumored to add a feature that will pre-shatter your screen when the accelerometer detects the phone is falling.
They didn't criminally prosecute the financial industry for blatant fraud that lead to the loss of trillions of dollars of wealth and almost destroyed the economy but they're going after a company for allegedly stealing the technology that drop-tests $200 smartphones.
Sorry, but random reports of shutdowns on phones produced in quantities of millions does not represent a wide-spread issue like what occurred on the iPhone 6. All types of QC issues can result in one-off reports of shutdown events. The shutdowns on the iPhone 6 were on a mass scale, and by Apples own [late] admission, were due to battery issues, issues which Apple never released a statement about on previous models, nor tried to "fix" with a software update before the iPhone 6. In other words, it was a design defect unique to the iPhone 6 series.
As for the cursing and personal insults, those are the last refuge of someone who's realized he's lost the argument. And to that, I graciously accept your concession.
Hey buddy - can you point me to an iPhone model before the iPhone 6 series that suffered battery shutdowns on a mass scale like the iPhone 6 series did?
No, it only happens on devices whose logic boards weren't properly designed to not exceed the power budget of their battery circuit designs. And throttling the CPU by 50% to avoid shutdowns is not what I consider a "perfectly good way to handle the issue".
A standard battery management procedure used by almost everybody when implemented by Apple suddenly becomes a new item because REASONS
Can you provide a reference to any other phone vendor that ever throttled the performance of their phones by 50% to avoid shutdowns when running on degraded batteries?
It's clear the iPhone 6-series has a hardware design defect that caused shutdowns when its CPU hit heavy loads when running on batteries with reduced capacity. The right thing to do would have been a recall, of both the logic board and a replacement battery. But considering the millions of iPhone 6's sold that recall would have likely cost billions of dollars. So instead Apple attempted to hide the issue by releasing a software update that quietly and severely throttled the CPU to avoid peak power usage. Then Apple lied about it, then Apple got sued, which is what finally lead to the year-long $29 battery replacement program. Even with lost upgrade sales from that program Apple probably still came out ahead vs the cost of a recall. That said, the damage to their reputation was severe IMO.
The camera in question is a Sony A7rII, which is a mirrorless camera. Such cameras constantly expose the sensor to light in the scene [while not taking photos], which is necessary to provide the video-like image stream used for the electronic viewfinder and LCD display.
I'll take the company obsessed with a completely closed platform over a company obsessed with monetizing every last piece of privacy their customers thought they had.
As for the carrier and my data and privacy, how exactly are they able to peer into my data considering all of it is encrypted at rest on the iPhone and all of it that moves off my phone over their pipes is encrypted as well?
Wasn't a troll. I can't stand Apple myself but they're the lesser of two evils when it comes to smartphones - I would never trust my data and privacy to the Android platform.
Apple says prices go up because it introduces new technologies such as Face ID
And Face ID wouldn't be necessary if they hadn't removed the fingerprint reader, so in other words they're imposing the cost of solving problems to its customers that Apple itself caused.
Anyone with first-hand experience buying and selling during the previous housing boom knows how "flexible" a lot of appraisers were in bending to the will of agents in getting appraisals that accommodated asking prices.
Calling it flexible is being generous - there was outright and rampant fraud in the system. Appraisers who didn't play ball weren't used in future work, creating a perverse incentive to go along even for those who wouldn't otherwise be predisposed to break the rules.
If so, you're gonna have to provide more than a tinfoil-hat-driven allegation.
So Tim Cook can get a US Congressman on the phone or likely in person any time he chooses but you don't think that ability offers him any more influence of our government than a small business or any of us?

The pilot has always been able to turn off the system.
Except up until recently 737MAX pilots didn't even know "the system" (MCAS) existed, which IMO is Boeing's biggest mistake in this matter.
And Dell's solution supports the iPhone too, although it requires keeping their iOS running in the foreground with the screen on.

Android is made for dummies, both the literal and figurative type.
Than have seen a 10nm Intel microprocessor.

That's not "Using a government agency". Sorry.
Congress is not a government agency, nor has the power to influence other government agencies? Do tell.
Apple can't "use government agencies" any more than any other entity can.
So if Tim Cook calls up his Congressman he'll get no more help from the government than would a small business owner with 5 employees?
And realized the crap they sell at The Gap is the same crap they sell at Old Navy, just with the higher mark up.
