Except in the case of Quebec and Canada, French is mandated in all English-primary provinces, but English doesn't enjoy the same privilege in Quebec.
Wrong on so many levels it's not even funny. Quebec is the only single-language province (NB doesn't count as it is a bilingual province) which is constitutionally mandated (read: forced by the other provinces) to publish all its laws in English and French, and with both versions having equal precedence. All the judiciary system in Quebec must therefore be bilingual. All 8 English-only speaking provinces are free to choose the language of their laws.
Quebec is also forced to have a English schooling system in addition to the main French one. It is far superior, by any measurement, to any French system in any other province, even including bilingual New Brunswick. Obviously, English teaching in the French system is also orders of magnitudes better than the French teaching in English provinces.
Quebec also has a network of English-speaking hospitals which has no equivalent in English Canada.
And most importantly, when you enter a shop, a French hospital, a restaurant, a provincial government building, chances are you'll be able to get some level of service in English, while you can't really expect any service in French in English provinces.
So Quebec'ers, special snowflakes that they are, require French in schools, signage, etc everywhere in the country,
Quebecers don't require that. French-speaking Canadians living outside Quebec do. And they mostly fail.
So by your logic, new words aren't allowed in any language unless they keep the original word from the inventor's language? (I am supposing here the smartphone was invented in English first, but that might not even be the case).
And by the way, current Quebec French Language Charter no longer uses the notwithstanding clause. Did you miss the past decades?
They often have to underclock chips to be able to work from -40 to +85C (or even +125C). It has nothing to do with lifetime. Commercial and industrial grade should last the same as long as they are operated between 0 and 70 C.
Yes man has affected the atmosphere.... but how significant is it really?
The answer to that question has been known for years. The answer is "significant". You are not being skeptical if you are still asking the same question over and over again when it has long been answered. You are being a denier.
Xbox games do not rely on HDCP to avoid piracy. HDCP encrypts the video stream. If it is used by an xbox game, then it only forbids you from recording your gaming sessions. You can't copy a game over HDMI. Unless your game is a movie.
On the other hand, how the hell are you going to pay to cover that huge area with such a small population in most places?
That's the point. They don't. Most of Canada isn't covered by cell phone signal. Countries with similar population density such as Sweden and even Australia have better cell phone plans so Canada is getting ripped off no mater what excuse you can find.
Well to me $700 USD is clearly the high end phone segment, $300 is mid range and budget is $150 or less. The Galaxy S8 is about $700 and I consider it a high end phone. I don't think any phone is worth $1000 to begin with, in that sense I think the essential is a better idea at $700. I think a lot of people buy phones in that price range, the Essential was just too little too late, and Samsung has better marketing a distribution networks.
I disagree. I, for one, buy used high end phones for about one third their original price when they are 6-18 months old. They have good cameras and are fast, just not as fast as the latest model. But they are still much better than low end phones with crappy displays, low RAM, and lack of updates. I couldn't care less about style however. It's a phone. I care about function, not form. And also do not confuse build quality with style and looks. It has nothing to do with each other. The best material for a phone is plastic (durable, shock-absorbent, doesn't block RF) but somehow it is considered "cheap" by so-called "build quality" freaks who prefer bad materials such as glass and metal.
I still think the essential phone was doomed to fail at $700. Not good enough for the price.

you are wrong. Spanish has the same (Academia Real) and I am sure many other languages have a central authority

There is no excuse for not informing the user that the phone is being throttled. None.
They run cooler because they support a wider operating temperature range.

Except this has nothing to do with peak power draw which Apple tried to avoid.
This is simply a phone misjudging the battery juice left.
You can switch after installation and remove systemd
The impact is not that big because of register renaming.
I may hate Apple, but this is a desirable feature (assuming it's documented).
That's the whole point. It has never been documented. Apple tried to hide it as much as possible until they got caught.
"We've now extended that feature to iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2, and plan to add support for other products in the future"
Should be
"We will slow down every previous iPhone when a new one releases"
iPhones have been without a removable battery AND without water resistance for years.
how about you let the user decide?
Of course. Like I said, HDCP isn't meant to protect games from being pirated.
because you couldn't record a fake game against your friend and upload that instead?

But you end-up paying large sums for the device with your monthly plan

I disagree. There is a market for mid-range phones and not everybody who could afford it want to waste $1k on a phone.
don't confuse the law and Apple EULA
You never answer the question, don't you?
I didn't check every area. But I know my place (Quebec) is almost all renewable (hydro mostly).
Why, you don't believe some areas in the world run almost exclusively on renewable?
