While I sort of agree--laws preventing communities from running their own broadband service are ridiculous--there's also a point where "getting away from it all" includes boadband as part of "all". If somebody chooses to live in the middle of nowhere, we as a society shouldn't be expected to foot the bill to run 20 miles of fiber to their home. (I'm not saying your advocating for this)
Cellular can cover a lot of these cases, and truly remote areas can use satellite. Not a great solution for watching Netflix, but that's why the Dish Network exists.
So much this. My bezel is maybe 1.5 mm wide. The benefit of eliminating it is about zero. As for the notch, I can't figure out why I should care. Maybe I'm weird, i want my phone to do stuff, I don't really care how it looks.
Sure I could, but not worth my time. That's why she has you. I help friends and relatives buy computers all the time, I expect that's true of most of the people on this site.
1. Like EPA fuel mileage tests, manufacturers will find ways to rig their chips so they benchmark better.
2. Unlike the EPA/feds, there's nobody to punish corporations when they cheat.
It's really not hard to do a little research to see how CPUs compare. Yes, it's a PIA if you're buying spur-of-the-moment and comparing laptops at the Big Box Store. But you need to do research. Hyperthreading and multiprocs will speed up some apps and do very little for others, some standardized benchmark number printed in the specs won't really tell consumers anything very useful. Too many variables and dependencies.
They were simulations, although the TFA isn't real specific about how they were set up. It's implied that they took real data using existing LTE infrastructure and extrapolated how 5G would perform in that environment. Far from perfect, but assuming they're reasonably competent they should be able to get projections that are in-the-ballpark accurate. As for "ideal conditions" well, yeah, that's what you use for a benchmark. "Rain" can mean anything from light mist to torrential downpour, you can't use it as a context for comparing systems because it's too variable.
My first iphone (4S) was light years better than my previous Android. But now I'm back to Android, because they're way cheaper (depends, I know), and have pretty much caught up to iOS. My iphone did integrate with my Macbook better, but that's not really a big deal for me.
Lord, I wasn't aware MS was pushing another borked version of Windows on its hardware. I guess this makes sense for some people, if you only need a browser and Office you get a nice-looking laptop to run them at lower price point, but this really is a one-trick pony. I wouldn't touch it personally.
I'm not so sure. Big retailers like ToysRUs and Sam's Club are shuttering many of their properties. Whether there's been a net reduction since 2003, I can't say, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility. I for one would rather browse Amazon than go to the mall.
Yeah, I'm very happy with my 11" Air. Not the fastest machine by a long shot, but there isn't much it can't do....given time. Very well built machine for the money.
Heh, my first Roomba would obsessively clean one corner of our kitchen about 5 times, go off to another area, then end up back in the same corner for another 3 or 4 cleaning rituals. Their mapping algorithm was seriously borked. We got a newer one about two years ago, seems to be better.
Thanks for the link. Epic. You don't happen to know if there's a video of Christopher Walken reading this on the internets somewhere? Cuz there should be.
Yes, but the transmitting would be noticeable...unless it stored the data then uploaded in bursts when you had a wi-fi connection, so not data usage on your cell plan. Heck, it could upload only when charging, so no battery hit at all. Which would be totally doable. Damn.
I guess it sounds good in theory to have controls that can be configured to allow a single person or multiple people, as needed, drive the ship. Until this happens. What's the point? One less body on the bridge, saving a few bucks? On a warship that costs billions of dollars, a few redundant personnel at the controls seems like cheap insurance.

Amazon's revenue last year was $177 billion. $10 Million is literally nothing to Amazon.

Idiotic. Oddly, gmail UI hasn't changed. not sure why.
Thanks for posting the pics.

Guaranteed they played 4 years of college plus high school and probably younger, so yeah, they had plenty of opportunities to get their bells rung.

Practically everything is made in China these days. But the Trump regime is singling out solar panels. Gee, wonder why?

Who do you buy your water from?

...taking an app that's popular and easy to use and fubarring its UI to the point that it drives users crazy. If it's not a word it should be.
And me without mod points. But 1000 times yes.

Most housing units in California are "single unit, unattached", AKA "houses". Apartment dwellers are a minority.
I have a friend who built a small office in his backyard. Every morning he packs his briefcase and walks 15 yards to his office.

Heh, I just installed Gimp a few minutes ago and used it for the first time in 3 or 4 years and, yep, some things don't change.
No kidding. There were 91,503 discrimination lawsuits filed in the US last year, but the fact that Tesla has 2 against it is news. I can't even...
