Freedom is free. You don't need an android phone. There is no cost to NOT having one. The problem is with closed source software. That is the cost we keep paying (and no, I don't mean financial cost of the software).
How would you know if the phone was secure? Some of the bits weren't open source. It could have been sending all your data to Google. You would never know. So how would a consumer judge the security? And as for quality: it is just the same old typical junk you can get out of any phone. All Android phones at the same price point are roughly the same hardware, sourced from the same manufacturers.
It has a valuation of $1,000,000,000! I mean it is worth so much! Why would you lay off people? That would like like Tesla laying off people even though it is worth $168,000,000,000.
The purpose of electric cars is virtue signaling. Individual personal transport via an automobile is NOT green, no matter how you do it. Hate to break it to you, but that is the truth but the first world refuses to accept it.

Only a tiny subset of problems can be solved by a quantum computer. They aren't a replacement for digital computers.
There is no competition. Phone manufacturers will just bundle in Chrome and Google Search in exchange and not have to pay anything.
So as long as you bundle our closed source spyware (Chrome, etc) you don't have to pay the licensing cost. Sounds about right for malware vendors.

We all switched to FreeBSD a long time ago.
I did? I didn't write the article. Wasn't me.
Which country is that? There are a lot of countries in the EU and their emissions have been going up: https://www.reuters.com/articl...
Are you suggesting they sue the EU?
Who is lying? Reuters? EU emissions went up in 2017 and will again in 2018. It is in the article.
Too bad the EU emissions are going up: https://www.reuters.com/articl...
Baloney. People will just buy $60,000 Teslas and a personal Powerwall and the problems will be solved. There is no problem that can't be fixed.
How would you report the caller? The number is spoofed.
The only advantage magnetic tape has is it can hold more data.

No, the answer is "no" because professional UI/UX designers are a joke. Anyone can do what they do, just most people don't want to bother.
Exactly. In addition he hates shorts, just like the Enron guys did before they went to jail. I wonder why.
Exactly. The old trick of adding "rroot" to /etc/passwd with uid 0 and hoping no one notices.
Looks as realistic as Jar-Jar. But it is deep learning AI so it must be good.

We even know how to use Unicode on the web.
...he also was a patent troll who sued others for creating software. But I am sure he was a great guy.
Nah, it is broken on even machines that don't have adblocking enabled. It sucks that the only video site left is Youtube.
Is it just me, or is Youtube not working?
One bad cop is the same as all cops being bad? God, so stupid.
Ads are a small price to pay in exchange for knowing what the friend of a guy you knew in college had for lunch.
