But what's their target for the next 4 years. Or should I say before the next election. Because none of the actual politicians are going to be there in 2045 even if the target is met.
where only the prefix now identifies the connection and you can start monitoring individual IP addresses (all of which point to a device), so you can narrow down to which device downloaded the file, and from there figure out the likely person.
How so? You won't be allowed to share a computer under that scheme?
OK still, let say we are only 2 adults in the house. Which one gets sued if my IP address got caught? Oh, and I also gave my WiFi password to friends and relatives.
Because of the open WiFi. But what about a regular household with many different users including minors and a WPA2 protected network? Who are they going to sue? Is it really reasonable to sue the account owner in such a case? Should the account owner have to keep internal logs in order to identify which kid did the copyright violation?
Interesting graph, especially the slopes on those lines. China's CO2 output has been climbing, quite rapidly too. For USA it's been pretty steady, even dropping slightly. The CO2 output per capita in the USA is the same now as it was in the 1960s, and down about 20% from the 1970s. Shouldn't we get a little credit for that?
Nope. That just meant you historically contributed even more to climate change than what you are doing now, so you should cut your emissions even more than the others to compensate. With the world average CO2 emission per capita being about 1/3 or 1/4 the current US level, there is nothing to brag about anyways.
You don't seem to get how city taxes work. If a city collect, say $1 billion from property taxes one year. If they collect $1 billion the next year, it means they didn't raise taxes. If every building in the city appreciated by 10% (which is never the case, some gain more value than others), then they should (and often do) lower the taxation rate to collect $1 billion instead of 1.1 billion.
Just because your house appreciate by 10% doesn't mean your taxes should increase. If the other houses got a 20% raise in value, your taxes should even go down.
Honestly I prefer crapware applications than crapware OS. You may not like Samsung's SMS application but at least you can install another one and use it by default. Also there are very good Android phones without crapware (Pixels and few others).
That's a characteristic of walled gardens. People living in them rarely refer to them as such. Many are not even aware there is a world outside the wall. There is a reason it's a wall and not a fence.
Some others also think they can leave the garden if they want. Yeah sure. You can leave the garden, and lose all your purchased apps, accessories, iMessage, AppleTV, Apple Watch, Apple Music and other iStuff that will either stop working or lose half of their functionality without your iPhone. So no, you are not leaving the garden any time soon. Let's face it, the first thing you did when entering the garden was to throw the key over the wall.
I don't. You are indeed free to chose between a locked-down OS and one giving you more freedom. Some people don't really want freedom and are perfectly happy in jail as long as their cell is comfortable enough. They call it the "walled garden".
For doing the right thing here. And I mean not locking down the Play Store, allowing 3rd party sources. Google could easily (ab)use its dominant position in the smartphone OS market to force Epic to go through its Play Store and forfeit 30% of their revenues. But they didn't. Thank you for not being Apple.
This is of course if we suppose the benchmark is representative and is equally optimized on both platforms. Any benchmark using 4 GB RAM would run faster on the Note 9.
At this point I'd take more RAM over a faster CPU.
Same hardware as the S9+, cost more, launch 4 months late. You must love the pen. At least this time they increased the battery size. But the display is almost the same size, not worth the difference.
At least they could have gone small, mid, large with S9, S9+, Note. Something like 5", 5.7", 6.4" would have offered more choice instead of their current large, larger, slightly larger 5.8", 6.2", 6.4".
Oh and please drop the curved edge screen. We get it, you are better than your competitors because you can make curved screens. It doesn't make it a worthwhile feature.
Even so, it would be surprising if Apple had more than, say, 80% market share there. Having only 1 friend within the remaining 20% pretty much means you must be living under a rock. Of course if Apple only has 30 or 15% of the market in Canada, it is even worse.
Anything not based on a phone number as an identifier, which prevent most PCs/tablets without a cellular connection, from using. A phone number can also change, and is country specific. Also never use a protocol limited to one vendor. So really, there is no reason to use Whatsapp or iMessage.

Google collects the exact same amount of data if you are using Google Chrome.
Since you don't have to use their store. Just like Epic did with their game.
Apple's, however, is a real tax.

And should only be enabled when you actually need your phone to charge quickly. This will prevent premature wear on the battery.

Of course, but iOS is locked-down. If you value freedom you have to switch.

Wake me up when you can delete iOS and install Android on it.

do you buy your computer from your ISP?
You don't seem to get the magnitude of the US military expenditures. It is on the same scale as the GDP of the poorest countries in Africa, combined.
So in other words. No. You don't know anybody directly working with the issues personally, nor have you been exposed to it.
Says who?
I know enough to know that the return on investment in the US military is orders of magnitudes worse than throwing money randomly in Africa.
With the money spent on defense, the US could probably have saved all of Africa. But instead you fought in Iraq.

Any better idea?

all my friends are on either iPhone, iPad or Mac - except for one who's using Windows and I contact him via Google Talk
You must not have a lot of friends, given Apple has less than 15% market share in phones and even less in PCs.
