I dunno what the real estate market is like in Helsinki but 140 euro a week would be lucky to pay the rent on a 1 bedroom apartment where I live, a decent sized industrialised city in the Southern Hemisphere.
For those that believe in small government, a universal income would slash the number of public servants overnight - those who currently administer unemployment schemes in ensuring that 'dole bludgers' have met the appropriate conditions to continue receiving payments. This would also apply to administering veterans' affairs, disability support and aged pension.
It is what it is, a smartphone chip. Microsoft's partnership with Qualcomm dates back to the Nokia Lumia. This latest effort to relaunch Windows RT is nothing more than a salvage attempt to recoup some of the IP from the Windows Phone effort.
So performance should be relative to an Android flagship phone, adjusted for running Windows...
I have to ask... What's the state of play with the recently acquired Imagination now that Apple have stopped licensing their GPU and everyone else switched to Mali long ago?
I would have thought that Canyon Bridge might release a cheap MIPS board as a raspberry pi competitor.
Well let *us* not. But remember it's an article written by Indians about Indians for an Indian audience that just happened to be picked up by Slashdot. And it seems crore is culturally a unit predating the colonial dissemination of English in that region.
I care enough to comment from the other side of the world and as it's Boxing Day I'm embarking on family roadtrip for summer vacation!
Based on my limited sample size of North American friends on Facebook, several atheists and a Jain are celebrating neo-Pagan winter solstice, a jewish friend, who earlier in the month had posted about Hannukah, has a witty Catmas post but even my Muslim friends from Canada are posting Christmas messages and don't seem that bothered by sectarian divisions.
Just maybe we're living in a post-PC world where peace and goodwill extends to shoving the offensively non-offensive "happy holidays" up your bum!:)
A big shout out to the Palestinians in Bethlehem...
Bloat. They shouldn't bundle stuff like AudioFX, the email client and Browser as system apps; it just adds megabytes to the ROM download and adds useless icons to the launcher. Why not provide a LineageOS repo or upload them to f-droid?

If by optional you mean vendors can ship a wifi only device and charge a premium for 4G then yes.
But this Snapdragon is the same as in any smartphone. It makes no sense to offer wifi only and needn't be connected to 4G without a SIM plan?

iPads have had (optional) 3G/4G network connectivity since the original launch in 2010.
So why is this news? If anything, Windows is behind by over half a decade.
That sounds like a pretty crappy sandbox.
NB: Mozilla released a security update for Firefox already.
1, maximum.
If I had a kid and she broke her expensive toy, I sure as hell wouldn't be buying her a second one.
nvidia make their own ARM SoC; just sayin'.

Well it could be if it supported more than a gig of RAM and 4K graphics.
i.e. as found in the VideoCore V implementation of the forthcoming rPi 4.
A 7 year old phone running Gingerbread?
Be serious.

Stick free wifi on the subway and you won't need huge upgrades to roads and bridges because everyone will spend their time down under the city!
Spring, even.
Happy Boxing Day Test, then.
It's The Ashes, where we remember a heroic piece of wood that was sacrificially burned to eternally honour the bond of Australia-English conflict.

Windows 10 should implement a Wayland compositor next.

Funnily enough I knew who Bruce Perens is but had to bing John Galt.
LineageOS has already been forked.
Apart from f-droid, to do anything terribly useful with Android it relies on Google services. MicroG re-implements those.

Really? I always thought it was a dig at their users, or you-tubers - likening them to a sack of potatoes.
Google trolling MS over windows store, Google fighting Amazon over digital streaming...
Isn't the common theme here Google?
Apple doesn't have a "Battery Saver" power profile, for those times you're not near a charger?
Canonical Touch is dead but the project lives on, by volunteers, at ubports.com
ubports and Sailfish are probably your best bets if you want to flash a custom firmware to a small base of supported handsets.
