I haven't seen comments on this pointing out that the 6s was the first phone with Force Touch added.
Doesn't it seem possible that that people pressing firmly against their screens may have accelerated the problem? Especially since it's using an earlier phone design that wasn't made with these stresses in mind.
The problem with that argument (and I agree with your point), is that both sides believe people are waking up from the lies of the other. They both see history as being on their side, and their position as the inevitable conclusion. Why fear the future? "We've won!"
If you're a nice approachable person, many people will assume you'd agree with them on politics, simply because you seem sane and decent. They absolutely cannot understand how anyone could agree with the other side unless they're stupid or evil.
While your point makes a lot of sense to a rational actor, in politics very few are.
I mostly agree with your point. Except I believe laptops really should standardize on passive cooling and sealed enclosures. A vent is just begging to clog up with dust and pet hairs. What percentage of laptop users is capable of maintaining their fans, often by opening up ththe case? Quite few I'd imagine. So compare a thermally constrained (by design) sealed laptop and a higher TDP laptop clogged up with crap. They're both operating at lowered speeds, but one is dangerous.
I remember there was a limit to how many planets you could get into a single sector... people would find cul-de-sacs in space and block up the entrance with bunch of powerful planets and ships. Someone desperate enough could max out one of their own planets, add movement to it and get it into the other guys blockade. BOOM. No more planets. Takes a few months to do it though.
This scenario isn't really a new thing, for several years now Apple and Samsung have taken all the profits and yes been over 100% combined. Very few companies have been profitable with Android phones.
What I can't understand is why there hasn't yet been a massive consolidation of Android phone makers or a large number of them giving up on it.
How can the same companies pump millions in year after year and stay at it?
I know Microsoft used to pay companies to make their phones, is Google doing something similar with their search engine profits? Holding up dozens of commercial failures to flood the market with their OS?
It's been a long time waiting on a jailbreak since they got so valuable. I'd do the same thing "Hmmmm... release this as a jailbreak, or sell it for a million bucks..."
This looks easy enough to get working and is current up to 10.0.2 or whatever the latest was.
Apple shipments always follow this pattern. As shown by your graphic. New hardware sells well, > 6 months, not so well. It finally slows to a crawl just before the new release right as Apple haters are proclaiming this is the end for Apple. If they would release twice a year they'd stop getting so slow just before the new stuff.
The spoofing makes the GPS receiver believe the airport is in 2 locations. One real, the other at the Kremlin. It's like you drew a circle around the airport and then copied and pasted that over the Kremlin.
It shouldn't have any problem finding the real airport unless it flies over the Kremlin and gets confused. The drone will react normally at the real airport and unpredictability at the Kremlin.
That wouldn't fly a drone off to the actual airport. It may do several things.
A drone with FCC style restrictions built in my immediately land itself instead of continuing into the protected zone as flying within range of an airport is banned.
It might try to correct its course and head further away from the actual Kremlin trying to find it. Like the robot from the Asimov book that was running in circles trapped between 2 zones.
It's extremely unlikely it could head to the airport from this, and most likely it would head in the opposite direction of the actual airport. If the airport was 20 miles East of the Krelmin, drone wants to blow up the Kremlin so it goes 20 miles West to find it. End result, drone is now 40 miles West of airport and 20 miles from Kremlin.
I think it would more likely get stuck along the radius but each drone could behave differently.
This reminds me of the old days on BBS systems using dial-up modems. You needed references to get into them, and had to work your way up into the higher quality sites. It was all about maintaining that upload/download ratio. Heck you didn't even care what it was, Kai's Power Tools, Aldus Pagemaker or some old Autocad version... log in, check out new releases, grab something the other sites don't have yet, upload it there, repeat...
Waaaaay back when 0dayz meant Warez and not exploits. Oh man I need to dig out my old MOD files. The nostalgia is killing me. This username used to be all extended ASCII characters with a custom color scheme.
They either believe they are so much better than everyone else and they've got it all figured out, the universe loves them and they're blessed, or just incredibly lucky.
None of those is exactly a recipe for great mental health.
I turned into a one way street driving through Oakland CA. Was looking for parking at the same time and the streets were so confusing for an out of towner. Considering all the tourists in San Fransisco it probably happens fairly often. I'd trust most self driving cars more than myself in that town, especially at night.
I'll just let other people Beta test them however.:-)
I'm not familiar with bitcoin address generation. Can someone estimate the amount of computing power required to come up with those wallet addresses? Is this just a quick script that takes a minute at most or something like a hash collusion?

At least we can agree that the fourth item is in hot demand. Nothing like a Knox and Odin discussion to get a blind date going.
What would happen if you desoldered the USB-C plug and (would it even fit??) put a standard USB connector in place of one port?

How are they doing this so long without profit?
Now that you mention it....

Main problem is... yes, the bezels, and the chargers on the bottom.

Back to the story...
Never be the top uploader.
Oh yes, my body is ready.
And please make an API for all those horrible podcast and audioblog sites out there that make me miss out on industry trends.
And maybe... talk to Google about YouTube CC.

I miss the XSS attacks in the comments and vertical fonts.

Can send them to Apple for their disassembly robot.

At 1.2 million phones a year it should just take a little over 2 years for Liam to do all 2.5m... assuming one could be tweaked to work with the SGN7.

Is this someone being nailed for the Equation Group code leak? Or something else?

You are totally right. I need to modernize. It's roughly 314 kibimeters.
