Outside of being the best format to store a 1x1 pixel image (usually for spacing in websites, although now better to use CSS), there's no benefits that GIF has these days over PNG. This was a discussion for eons ago, not 2019.
"A turd" that wins in "no sense that mattered" and is "not a good look". That's a lot of dumping on it, anyone care to explain why?
Watch the video. It looks nice, really nice, but performance is shit. Every time you try to do something, there is massive lag, thanks to Goog using a shitty Celeron processor. It's so bad, blacks don't even want to steal it.
How does a product this bad even get made? I could understand if it was being sold by some fly-by-night company who just started up a short time ago and whose business plan was to sell a bunch of shitty tablets and then disappear before people can ask for their money back.
But this product is being sold one of the biggest tech companies in the world. WTF?
is a shithole of junkware, anything good is buried under a thousands of shitware that is not worth bothering to download, Google should be ashamed of Google Play for allowing it to become just a HUGE pile of shitware
Proper vetting of apps would cost them too many Shekels.
w0ho shit out a new OS every couple of months and wipe their hands of it. Leaving end users to flail about desperately trying to figure out what to do.
You just described Windows 10. At least twice a year you get to experience the joy of getting fucked by a new mandatory update.
but he lost millions by backing her fraud. That he supported her all along so far as to go on interviews defending her obvious lies shows that he is a fraud as well and deserves prison time.
It's one thing to take a chance on a startup. VCs often lose money on startups. That's why they write a contract that pays them a lot money if the company is successful.
Theranos however, was a completely different story. Read John Carreyou's book. It's quite fascinating. Theranos was completely fraudulent, almost from day one.
Youtube's comments are more integral to the service
Holy shit no, are you stupid or something? The comments provide almost zero value.
No, not almost, the comments provide exactly ZERO value.
A complete shutdown of comments solves the problem, and, harms no one (except the egomaniacs who need a thousand comments telling them how great they are).
So, instead of paying an estimated $25 billion in taxes they were going to pay $22 billion, after working out a deal with Super Mario Brother Jr. But, the former bartender objected about Big Evil Amazon getting a $3 billion check from the taxpayers. In the end, New York is going to get $0 billion instead. Great job. I repeat, folks, an economics degree! The people of New York elected that scatterbrain, and they simply deserve who they elected.
The stupidity of Ms. Occasional-Cortex is irrelevent.
Amazon paid $0 federal income tax on profits of $11 Billion. Actually they paid less than zero, they got a $129 Million tax refund. Pretty nice, eh? That's two consecutive years of zero federal tax paid.
If you think they aren't going to do the same exact thing to New York and Virginia, you're dumber than that former bartender.
Zuckerberg plans to hold talks with "leaders, experts, and people in our community from different fields" every few weeks.
And he will do nothing of substance, and it will be business as usual, just like it has been for the last 10+ years.
One apology after another. Constant promises to change and do better. Followed by . . . . . nothing.
The "leaders, experts, and people in our community from different fields" need to start telling Zuckerberg to fuck off. Until he actually does something, he need to STFU.
Actually, they don't prohibit a cash discount, they prohibit an extra charge for credit cards. Cash discounts happen all the time in places like gas stations. It just needs to be phrased correctly not to breach the banksters' contract.
That hasn't been true for a couple of years now.
Visa and MasterCard used to have a rule that merchants could not charge people a fee for using a credit card. A group of merchants sued and won. That rule no longer exists.
However, I pay for 99.9% of everything I buy with a credit card and I have never encountered anyone charging extra. The truth is, businesses hate paying that 3-4% but any business that tries to charge extra is going to lose customers very quickly.
Yes, it sounds very much like Microsoft's "hardware acceleration fast-path" was a hack that relied on very specific HTML layout of the YouTube site, and when Google changed it (by adding an empty hidden div no less - something that should have absolutely no effect on a standards compliant layout engine not to mention the video hardware acceleration) it broke their precious benchmark cheat.
Exactly.
Edge is a completely useless piece of crap. It is so badly designed it makes you wonder if anyone at Microsoft even understands how computers and the Internet actually work.
Amazon is a fucking flea market. I got LOTS of damaged and returned goods.
Both Amazon and Ebay have really gone to shit. I stopped buying from both of them except in very rare cases where its someone I've bought from before and know they are pretty trustworthy -- which is becoming less and less often.

Dear Zuckerfuck:
I don't use your fucking service. And yet, half of the sites I visit have your shit embedded in it for you to track me.
I haven't given you consent to track me, and I'm not signing up for an account to find out what you have and disable it.
I have Facebook.com and a few other related domains blocked in my hosts file.
It works. APK is not completely wrong.

(I have over 6 TB of family and travel photos).
I have a few terabytes of stuff too. That's why I stay far away from "the cloud" and bought a couple of big-ass hard drives.
Storing anything of value on Someone Else's Computer is just stupid.
Sure, my house could get hit by a meteor, but I'll take my chances.
Please let me flash your hard drive's firmware and then stand over here and speak very loudly.
Thank you.
*facepalm*
As long as people are only hurting themselves and not hurting others, then there is no problem.
You can't fix (or prevent) stupid.

From all reports Holmes was a fairly brilliant CEO (she could convince people to give her lots of money)
That's not a brilliant CEO. That's a con artist.
Chief Science Officer? She dropped out of college at 19 and has no science background. What a moron.
That was all part of the Theranos scam. Nobody on their board of directors or in top management had any science or medical background.

And you know this because you have carefully examined every line of source code, right?
Feel free to go ahead and develop an independent browser. Nobody is stopping you.
Oh, that's right, you want somebody else to do it.

That brand new laptop I bought from Amazon had some user named "Bruce" on the login screen. They don't check shit.
Hey, what's your problem? What do you have against Bruce? What did he ever do to you?
I don't mind buying refurbished stuff either if it's marked and priced accordingly.
** IF ** it's marked and priced accordingly.
That's the problem. Too much deliberate fraud. Too many used/damaged/refurbished things being sold (and priced) as new.
Amazon is a fucking flea market. I got LOTS of damaged and returned goods.
Both Amazon and Ebay have really gone to shit. I stopped buying from both of them except in very rare cases where its someone I've bought from before and know they are pretty trustworthy -- which is becoming less and less often.
