But...but...but...what about your safety? If you have nothing to hide, what's the problem?
It could stop a crime bla bla bla bla.
I thought Seattle was "progressive" (ie: liberal, socialist etc).
You mean you want your RIGHTS protected? What about the common good? What about

How many android devices are there, versus how many apple devices?
Apple, is "one" phone per year or so released, yes they sell millions, but
android is on 3,105,592 different phones every year. Granted, Google wanted
adoption, made it open, so the manufacturers & carriers were responsible for
the updates (if any) and in their business model, it's not worth the time since people
just toss their phones away about every 12-24 months, and, other than security patches,
for me, android has been pretty stable, nothing "really" Earth shattering new, since Jelly
Bean.
Perhaps going forward, past Oreo, if more manufacturers adopt the project Treble, which
splits the core OS from the UI/bloat, Google can get the updates to the core of the system
faster, through the play store, and let the manufacturers/carriers screw with the UI if they want.
Also will make flashing to a non OEM rom easier...that is if you believe the press.
I got Oreo on my Huawei USA Mate 9 in early November, and the latest patch/update last Monday.
The guy "outed" isn't the one. It's been disproved. He's 15 years younger than "DB Cooper" for one
thing.
If the person didn't die jumping from the plane, he would be over 85 years old today. Most likely he
died in the attempt, or has long since died.
These "hounds" pop up about every year of the anniversary, to hawk their books and what not.
Of these things in my house. They are always on, always listening.
Television can broadcast something like a "audio QR" code that humans
probably won't hear, or, can't understand, but the little speaker/microphone
thingy can.
No, not paranoid, just don't want something like that in my home.
You have to be a complete moron, if you get any of your news, from ONE source.
Shoot, sometimes I find LESS bias, by reading from news sources OUTSIDE of the USA,
than I do INSIDE the USA.
Everything is so politicized, it's hard to know what is real, what is fake, what is "edited" to
sway people on either of the two political groups in the USA.
I'm conservative (NOT to be confused with the so called Republican party) but, I read several
sites that are considered left leaning. Why? Because I want to know the thinking process of
"the other side" so to speak. To try and figure out WHY they have such views. Believe it or
not, a RATIONAL person, will, on occasion, agree with someone on the left, not because of
politics, but because they are correct in their view.
So, the teamsters are upset with being replaced. TOO BAD!
Let's see...do we still manage buggy whips? Telegraph operators, and on and on?
Nope...unfortunately, progress means that certain jobs may disappear. Now, if you want
to live like the 12th century people of some parts of the middle east, just drop an EMP over
the planet and we can all have jobs again.
Hey teamsters....SUCK IT.
I swear, I could dress in a killer clown suit, with a fake bloody axe, walk through a typical high school or college campus
during class change, and 90% of people later polled, will say "WHAT CLOWN?".
Kids today, in 20 years will be in need of neck surgeries...due to their heads always looking down at their phones.
Good business too. Instead of getting next to nothing, by lowering the price and making it AFFORDABLE, they will have a steady stream of revenue each month.
Yeah, good luck with that. "reasonable"...ie: politicians way of telling the unwashed masses, that we did something, but
on the other hand giving a wink & a nod to their business buddies that "we slickered em again".
As with the Space shuttle...it doesn't GO ANYWHERE.
Oh, they might have some experiments and what not they do, but, it is still STUCK NOT DOING ANYTHING.
EXPLORE outside of our planet, not circling the 3rd rock from the sun.
Too bad they are illegal, and I could lose my radio-telephone license, but I would LOVE to have one carrying in
my pocket as I work on equipment around a pretty large university campus. Especially the student union.
Just watching the zombies with their heads buried in their phone & mac books suddenly go nuts when everything
stopped working would be a hoot.
I swear...I could walk around campus in a "killer clown" outfit, in between classes, and 80% of the students would
never see me.
How smart the founding fathers were, in creating something new called a Constitutional Republic, as opposed
to a "democracy", which is effect a "mob rule" mentality.
By giving the people, the house of representatives, the people have a voice. The senate, until the 17th amendment
was the state's voice.
A democracy, is not "everyone has a voice" but emotional MOB RULE. Just think, if we had a democracy, what
happened in Ferguson Missouri, would have meant the death of that police officer, since most social media has
spread the lie that the "gentle giant" Michael Brown was running away from the police, hands in the air and shot
in the back, when in fact he was running towards the officer after previously robbing/assaulting a clerk at a convenience
store, assaulting a police office and attempting to take his weapon.
No, we DO NOT want a democracy.
"Social media" is just another way for "mob rule" to attempt to take hold.
Compression artifacts. Take a small (800x600) JPEG photo, and try scaling it up to say 2400x1028 and
see what happens. It will "look" blurry and print even worse.
I thought SVG (scaled vector graphics) or something similar was suppose to offer a solution to that "jaggie"
problem with compression artifacts.
I know that a medical company IT staff I know, they go around (due to HIPAA reasons) making sure if people leave
their desk they lock the screen on their workstation. He told me more than once, they found post it notes with a
password. What they would do is go in and change the password, locking them out, then wait for them to
call the help desk. Then they'd get ONE warning not to do it again, or be fired.
NO ONE in a corporate world should be allowed to keep a password on a post it note.
Oh, they will say they do when the cameras and microphones are on, but, in the board room, they don't care...not really too many companies do or they would manufacture in other parts of the world.
They know that labor is CHEAP in China, thanks to the communist control over its people, and their lives. No big deal for them to take you out and shoot you if you don't toe the line.
All the companies doing business in China are doing nothing more than using slave labor. The people "live" in dorm rooms if they are lucky, work overtime constantly. Heck, remember a few years ago they had to put anti-suicide nets on some of the buildings because employees (slaves) were jumping off the buildings?
The only time working conditions look "good" is when they invite the media in, and then it's all smiles and everything looks nice.
It's a shame everyone gives Apple a pass on a lot of this, but, it's because they want the iPhone, Mac, iPad etc...and they look the other way.
"Mostly" read by liberals, antifa, BLM, socialist, progressives...ie: the ones that think everything should be
FREE...so, it's no wonder they didn't have any people funding a potential "relaunch". They are ok with
spending OTHER peoples money, but NOT their own.
"Last month former Gawker staffers attempted to crowdfund the purchase and relaunch of Gawker.com as a nonprofit media organization. But their 1,496 backers only pledged $89,844, far short of the campaign's $500,000 target."
My twice a month paycheck is going UP, not down.
Seems to me your math is incorrect. If the government were taking MORE of my money, I would
have LESS, not more.
But a 3rd tier company did. (BBK electronics...Oppo, OnePlus, Vivo).
You can bet if Apple comes up with one at a later date, it will be applauded as "stellar" and "cutting edge".
I think they have so much invested in that silly look at the phone thingy, they won't ever do it though.

Profiting from silly mistakes, making sure the t's are crossed, the i's dotted, since the beginning of time.
That said people were holding the phone wrong. That said the slowdown was a "feature" and on and on.

I guess by the 23rd century we'll know how bad it was ;)

Less than LAST year :(
