Extradition request from US confirmed Scotland Yard has confirmed that Assange was arrested on behalf of the US after receiving a request for his extradition.
In a statement it said:
Julian Assange, 47, (03.07.71) has today, Thursday 11 April, been further arrested on behalf of the United States authorities, at 10:53hrs after his arrival at a central London police station. This is an extradition warrant under Section 73 of the Extradition Act. He will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates’ Court as soon as possible.
True, just connect on the t-con of the LCD matrix of the TV, and with an FPGA and some RAM, you store the whole picture as you receive it, and save it via PCIe, double the RAM for double buffering of course, so while a frame is being sent to the PC, another one start to fill memory. On your PC where you receive the frame via PCIe, encode it with your GPU in realtime or just save it on your 4TB RAID array or something.
ever heard of compression?!? You can compress a 4K60 down to 10Mbps if you want, it would be ugly, but you can, and in real-time too for the compression, even 1ms per frame. Decompression time on your PC depends on your GPU (or even CPU)
Providers such as Virgin, Lucky, Fido, Chatr, Public Mobile and Koodo have committed to offering plans that will range from $15 for 250 MB to $30 for 1GB on a prepaid and postpaid basis. The plans are to be widely available by April 2019.
True, all family had G2 years ago, last year my GF upgraded to the G6, but SD450 and the lack of NFC was a killer for me. I bought a Nokia 6.1 because it fitted all my needs, NFC, FHD screen, SD, ac wifi, audio jack, QC3.0, usb-c, 2 sims, AndroidONE so I get new version and update very quickly, very well solid design in a one-piece aluminium shell, etc. But the Nokia 7.1 is really a fabulous deal too for a couple $ more.
The Nokia 6.1 was $229 at BestBuy, you could not beat that for a SD630 phone!! Forget the SD4x0 they are all to slow.
Google could put its sticker on a Nokia and people would love it.
I cannot believe there is no NFC on new cellphones...everywhere in the world we use NFC to pay with our phone, or do others things ; except in USA so US cellphones do not have NFC, great! This is why I bought a Nokia, I have the 6.1 but the X6 or 7.1 are wonderful for the same price as the G7. The 6.1 is cheaper than the G7 Power and has better specs.
No more wallet! I have 2 debit cards (personnal and shared account), 2 credit cards (one in $CAD one in $US) they all are in my GooglePay, as well as my Airmiles card and others rewards card. I bought a flip case where I can put my driving license, and I have no more wallet, only my phone.
I'm in Canada and for ~2 years now I pay everywhere with my phone... first it was with my zenfone2 and now my nokia, anyway before that I tapped my card on the paypass terminal.
I pay with my phone for my gas, various groceries, various generic noname dollar store, fruit/vegetable corner store, canadian tire, dollarama, costco, etc, everywhere!
The 2 only stores I found in 2 years that do not accept NFC payment are: Walmart, Michaels.
Also I often go in the USA, last time I paid with my phone in a CVS, the cashier was speechless and didn't understand what happenend. When I wanted to pay with my phone in a Pizza Hut, the waitress had to ask the manager if they accept it and how to do it (yes, it worked), same thing in big lots or family dollar, the cashier did an instant barbarian move when I paid with my phone... but everywhere in the world people are doing this!!!
Also in the USA they still use magnetic strips, but worst of it, when I pay with my chip or my phone, they hand me a paper to sign, it's stupid, I just entered my PIN code on the terminal and I have to sign?!?
Excuse me OP but technologies in the US is wwwaaaayyyyy back compared to the rest of the world.
Also last time I checked Android/Samsung pay is free for the stores, but ApplePay wants 0.5% of the transaction, maybe this is why stores refuse apple pay.
Wrong wrong wrong completely wrong, I'm in Québec for more than 20 years and the plate is yours, whenever you change vehicle, you transfer your plate from the old car to the new car. You can have a 20 years old plate on the brand new car you bought yesterday.
Dude, I live there, I have a 20 years plate, I know it:)
I even bought a custom fancy plate now, when I will change my car do you think my custom fancy plate will go to the new owner?!? It does not work like this, I tell you, the plate is yours.
There is some HD bluetooth codec, AAC which is good only if your playing device is from apple (Android AAC is about inferior to SBC), aptX-HD from Qualcomm ($$$) and LDAC from Sony (free and should be in Android 8+).
There is also too few bluetooth headphones that supports HD codecs like aptx-hd (qualcomm) or ldac (sony) or aac (apple).
What I'd like is a simple BT receiver that handle HD codec, and on this gizmo, have a 3.5mm jack so I can plug high end headphone on it, while still being wireless with my phone (that support HD bluetooth).
I'm here since ~1997 or something, and still come about daily to read some news and comments:)
And my username had accentuated charater in it, and at one point when they change slashcode, it borked everything and I had to email CmdrTaco to change the name in the database...
It's incredible that in 2019 we still have problem with accentuated character and Unicode...
Same, this is not news, I guess in Canada it is the same as in the US, when you buy a cellphone tied to a provider (especially Bell here) there is a zillions of crapware that you cannot remove/disable except if you root. It has been like that since I know smartphone. How can this be new?!?!?!?
It is also the reason I buy unlocked phones, my latest one, Nokia 6.1, is an Android One phone and no bloatware installed.
Same, I have an almost 10yo HP MINI311, with an Atom 32 bits, I overclocked it at 2GHz, put 3GB of DDR3 RAM in it, installed Mint 17.3 XFCE, best of all it has an integrated NVIDIA GPU so I installed the NVidia driver, and it decodes H264 1080p movie in hardware, I can plug it via HDMI on my 55" TV and watch movie, pretty nice for a 10yo system. Eveything works, wifi, bluetooth, etc.
Also, I can use it to develop my devices going into cars, as it has a 13.1" screen, is small, lightweight, and can compile my ATMEGA project in 10 seconds, upload via USB in 4 seconds.
I think you can find MINI311 for less than $100 on eBay, Mint XFCE is perfect for it.

Because you don't have money?

LOL no they can compress with specific hardware in real-time, like every broadcaster is doing
This comes directly from the government website, how can it be fake news? Canada is not the USA, man...

Don't check the price here... latest news :

Don't worry Bruce, I'm also an older here and even if I go on reddit for 10 years, I don't understand all this is about :)
I'm on reddit for almost 10 years and don't understand what this is all about...
As a Gen X too, this hits hard, it's exactly the same here, I stopped at CD, BD, and 1080p non-smart TV.

> The thing that differentiates Apple Pay from all the other EMVCo v3 contactless payment solutions...
is that apple charge 0.5% to the store, last time I checked

Same in Canada, the plate is "yours" and whenever you change car, you transfer the plate
What's the difference with Messenger then?!?
