I opened up my trusty torrent client, Vuze, to download this and it asked to install an update. I let it, and then bad craziness broke out. I visibly opened all my browsers up, opened up their preference settings, downloaded an installed extensions, and set their default pages and search engine to Yahoo.
I use amazon fire stick. It's really good and keeps getting better. the learning curve is zero so whole family and guests can use it instantly. I was supplementing this with PLEX with it to stream DVDs to it. But Plex sucks! ( I keep having to restart the client or the server cause they fail to find each other, and even when it works it transcodes in ways that make gliches, and really sluggish. fairly confusing interface that phones home too. by default it lards of your hard disk with cover art and crap you don't want). Emby was slightly better on the server side but the client side was clunkier. But I found both pretty intolerable. So I just bought a 45 foot HDMI cable and when I want to stream something I just plug it into my computer. Now that is super reliable, no glitches and takes less time to set up than plex or emby. So I use the Fire stick most of the time and just plug in the cable as needed.
Simple. Google puts a buy back option in the contract for the self driving car. They can buy back your car at any time for the full purchase price. Seems like a swell deal right? They invoke this when you are going to hit a pedestrian to buy back the car. Now it's no longer your car so the choice of who to kill here isn't predicated on your car's loyalty to you. problem solved. Plus, no need for insurance.
Imagine you're in an out of control Trolley. You're headed towards three buildings and you control which you slam into. Two buildings contain only one person and one building contains five people. You randomly select a building to slam into. Then one of the other buildings is revealed to contain only one person but you can't switch to that building. Should you switch the tracks to the remaining other building?
Of course one reason to look up a song is because you misheard some lyrics and want to know what the song was. 'scuse me while I kiss this guy. So I wonder if it can do soundex matching?
Personally I would prefer if it gave the Literal or Bad Lip Reading version of the lyrics as well. "who has two thumbs and likes BJs?" "Did a tiger just run out of my Butt?"
If a custom painted car used in a bank robbery is caught on film, and later found in your garage with matching plates, and it is liscened to you and driven by you on a daily basis, it seems like this might be relevant. Yes it is possible someone could have stolen it for a while and returned it without any signs it was stolen. But it seems like it's still pretty good evidence to build a case on.
How do we know time doesn't go backward? Maybe it does. We'd never know it if it did. (think about it.)
Perhaps in fact time goes back and forward all the time. This would be a nifty way to have things like spooky action at a distance. You run time forward till a correlated event happens, then run it backward and imbue the necessary future state. Instant hidden variables that you can't detect.
it doesn't matter how much time this time reversal takes since, you will never notice it happening.
then go pay some guy $15 to replace your battery. You don't need a special door on the back to make it simple when it's already cheap and a rare occurence.
Dreamchaser, I never said the batteries weren't replacable. they are. lots of places to get a professional to replace your worn out batteries. But that's something you do once in the life of a phone not something you need to have a special door on the back for.
Far more people would prefer a water proof phone for example than a special door on the back.
Good golly when are people going to get over "the no removable battery" schtick. The number of people that care about that can barely be measured. There's plenty of external boost chargers that are easier and safer to carry around and easier to charge on the go in your car or off your computer than a second battery. Only people that talk 24/7 need a second battery. I'm surprised you are not complaining that apple only has 1 mouse button. Time to move on.
Now as for unstoppable google software. Indeed. andorid phones are crippled without a google play store and there's so much insideous opt-out settings to wade through. By default your phone will "listen for wifi IDs" even when Wifi is turned off? By default it sends your location to google. By default it listens on the microphone. All your autocompletes and searches go to google. my guess is it tracks your healthy movements too. It's a total tracking device in every way that it can be.
They don't need to bake it into the firm ware as most people don't have the time or knowledge to hunt down all these things and turn them off. plus they are so linked to the phone's services that you can't practically do that anyhow.
I guess the reason, real or imagined, that this bugs me is that Google is trying to monetize this while my impression is apple is not.
Everything I create is non-tangible intellectual property. All biomedical genetic advances are in the end described by sequences and methods. Completely replicable. And without patents or copyrights they would never ever reach their potential as there would be no money to deliver them to people or companies. Companies would not base product lines around things they can't monetize or would expect to be undercut by an overseas manufacturer. SO they rot in the lab.
can i buy just the phone? it would make an awesome screen for my arduino. If I can.t buy just the phone then the price is meaningless. Many cell plans offer free phones plus a rebate.
What makes the poster thank that everyone gets the same set of suggestions for autocomplete. When I type in questions it's pretty clear google is knowing things about me when it suggests the complete. So all you just revealed is that google thinks you are smart enough not to think crooked should not follow hillary. Are you complaining about that?
It's not really different than Pied Piper using god mode to fry computer's inside hooli. they know who you are and customize the outcomes.
Even when I put the setting at "make my machine hurt" its glitchy. And half the time my amazon firestick can't find the fire stick. I keep having to reboot my computer and the firestick till something magical takes place and they see each other. And it seems to transcode things even when the setting is don't transcode if possible.
Right on man, they can take away your standard rotary phone from your cold dead hands. I'm typing this on my punchcard machine so all my line lengths are 72 characters or less. Don't worry dude, Vinyl records are making a comeback now that the sheeple are waking up.

Vuze is now malware. beware.
its a 2mmx1mm patch on a hard disk somewhere.
In addition to the Tesla having Ludicrous speed mode, it appears there's a secret Kevorkian speed mode.

I read that LoRa is phonetic pun on the local language for a word that means "all seeing eye" or "spy". And KPN sounds like the word for "creepy".
So they make the search term you would naturally type in to find their competitors be the cue to run their own service. Nice job if you can get it.

the whole thing has gone pear-shaped.
I prefer the idea that time is suppository shaped.
So it's a good thing that time only runs in the forward direction then. (as Cat on Red dwarf found out).

and you can't unpardon them either. You could dismiss the charges with prejudice so they can't be re-instated.
