why doesnt google wither optimize their new os to improve backwards compatibility, or increase the hardware requirements to support at least 1 or 2 future major android versions? seems strange they’d go with a blank slate every new update they write, and we’re at their 8th major try alteady.
your comment makes android sound great for manufacturers and less than optimal for the end users, even if only taking platform fragmentation into account. its up to the end user to find their own updates in order to save a few bucks up front.
make a direct comparison now: iphone 5s was released on Sept. 10, 2013 and is currently supported by ios11 releases. iPhone 5 was released Sept. 13, 2012 and support ends at the end of February when 32 bit processors are deprecated by Apple.
Perhaps the researchers would prefer to interpret the communication attempt in captivity as "Amy" rather than "Kill Me", just so they can sleep at night.
citation for this? i didn't read this in the links provided.
This is an interesting point about the engine as one of the benefits of an electric vehicle is it's pretty much a press-start-and-go in the winter, with no need to warm up an engine. if i'm plugging in a block heater, i might as well plug in a charger instead.
look, do you want to cause a panic or something? look at the box it says "designed in Cupertino". Just calmly masturbate into the eco packaging like the rest of us and try to make sure it's out of view of the iSight camera that may or may not be on.
But I prefer dealing with a non Chinese company that has their phones made in China, than a Chinese company. I am so glad of the choice I made.
besides the general good feelings you have with your purchase, what data do you have that your device is any more secure than (allegedly) OnePlus, or any other Chinese company? You admit your hardware is made in China, so you're reassured by non-Chinese marketing and image, of all things??
Because the system can only send one of a small number of pre-defined messages
without even looking at the short list of pre-defined messages, are you saying there was NO other possible message that would have been more appropriate than the one that went out initially?
i mean, even "this is a test" or "hay guyz it's ok stop putting your kids into sewers right now" or would be preferable to the message that went out.
Seemed like nobody wept for the loss of the 11" MacBook air except me. coming from a history of using subcompacts since the Toshiba T1910, DEC HiNote Ultra, Thinkpad 701c, etc. i loved the smallest MacBook air! i had no problems with having few usb ports, no optical drive, and tiny screen; it was miles ahead of all the other sub-compact craptop compromises i made before.
It was a sad day when they stopped updating the model line and there's nothing (certainly from Apple) that will replace such a convenient, economy-class-tray-sized notebook. iPad with a bluetooth keyboard? sheesh.
I'm interested in any good ideas, countermeasures, rube goldberg devices that could be employed in or outside of a country like DRC that could restore, maintain, or circumvent a communications banhammer.
mesh wifi? blimps? ad hoc 3g network? femtocells? type beam microwaves? airdrops of Pringles? angel investor for TamTam? Bonus points for ideas that are bespoke to Africa itself.
despite the numerous visits from Canada Health Services representatives
Unless you are referring to Health Services in correctional facilities, There is no such federal governmental organization named "Canada Health Services".
Additionally, In Canada, the responsibilities of healthcare management are devolved to the provincial government, not the federal government. I can't speak to any of your other anecdotes, but your Canadian info is incorrect.
As I see it, the phrase "among the top three" means: "third"
you can skin a cat many ways. you can pick nits and split hairs.
this is where the rubber meets the road: i pay $115 for a phone + 1gb of data.
where i have to work, i don't have a choice. Let me know if you can find a worse plan than this, becuase AFAIK this plan "are some of the highest in the world".
the data is from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. it's a Crown Corporation of Canada that generates non-partisan data, and not a 'think tank'.
(again, Canada never deregulated our banks, so none failed or needed bailouts)
Sorry to burst your bubble of Canadian Exceptionalism, but Canadian Banks Got $114 Billion From Governments During Recession. this is data based on the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, and works out to $3400 per capita. This was tenfold the amount Canadian taxpayers spent on the auto industry bailout.

like film. we survived waiting to develop the emulsion back at the lab.
not suitable for all situations but it would be a welcome toggle setting that the ohtographer could pre-set for anticipated challenging situations.
did you have third party batteries installed? i believe their offer only applies to replace Apple batteries.
This is not a new advancement though; the Volvo Modular Engine in i4 and i5 configuration use 10:1 compression ratios on 87octane/91 RON) for over a quarter century now. The Mazda Skyactiv is a new beast.

so premium gasoline i'm guessing? $$$$$
Which android phones are the size of the SE? and which version of android do they run?

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Presenting incontrovertible evidence or data would not change the mind of someone ideologically committed to the contrary.
Red Bull was bought off by BIg Round Earth, and they're taking Round Earth Dollars, dontcha know??
