The Axon 7 was a pretty nice phone (big focus on audio with front-facing speakers), and quite popular in the US too. I have no stats, but my impression was that the US was ZTE's primary market. There was some in Europe, but in the UK we only got the Axon 7 mini. It was available in China a few years ago, but ZTE hasn't had any retail presence in China for a couple of years - nothing at all from them in any of the many phone markets. Maybe there's something online.
I was waiting for the Axon 8...which didn't happen...and now the Axon 9...but it seems that is very unlikely to happen now too. In any case, I'd prefer to opt for a model that doesn't use US parts, so I hope they're planning on doing something about that, if they survive this nonsense.
For example, he could have left the planet taking 'us fools' with him (without the fools' knowledge?), extinguishing all life while not on it, and returned, again with the 'fools'....or some combination. It seems possible, literally.
That's one way I can see that 'literally' would be accurate. I would imagine there could be others. Yes, it is very unlikely, but that's probability for you - if it isn't '0' or '1', it is possible.
Yeah, that's not new and I actually have one of the affected vehicles, but I personally can distinguish between what diesels used to produce - horrible thick black soot, kind of like what comes out of a chimney when you clean it, and what the produce now, which is pretty much invisible - until it becomes smog, that is.
Is it really about the soot? I don't see much about soot these days and it's more about the invisible particles (is that what you call soot?) and NOX gases./Curious
I don't like the look of Teslas. The front is the bit that bothers me, specifically the logo/grill area. It looks like the maitre d in Ferris Butler's Day Off...all snooty-nosed...ugly even.
Troll?? I noticed the similarly too, though I've not looked into the details. I actually liked ClearCase...first used it when it was an Atria product and then when it was part of the CaseVision suite on SGI platforms. I have yet find anyone else who feels the same though.
Yes, and no. Some caps are per second, rather than per month, which just feels like it is slower, but you never get disconnected. Of course, you pay less if you opt for the slower connection. This is how it is/was in Finland when I lived there, and I much prefer it since I can rely on always being connected.l, irrespective of how much data is used. It sounds like it is the same in the USA as it is in the UK, unfortunately. Here, there is no option to have a slower connection for less money, and the only thing you can do is to pay for a lower monthly cap and risk whatever penalty they impose when you exceed it.
There are still new ones that have compelling hardware, notably the Alcatel Idol 4 Pro that was recently reviewed on The Phones Show as having the best front facing speakers of any phone. I'd be tempted if I could replace Windows with Android. https://youtu.be/crB9JNFghuk
You think it's bad here (in "the west")...in China (not just PRC), it is really scary how much dominance WeChat enjoys. It is used for almost everything there.
I pay £15/month for unlimited data plus 3GB of data....And free roaming (though there are then limits) to many countries and territories, including the USA.
ok, that's your choice, but it just seems like all your 'issues' aren't actually valid - at least, not any more. Perhaps it's time to have another look, especially now some are coming out that have some actual horsepower - it's surprising how much you need for even a half reasonable number of tabs/windows.
... And there's the location of the pollution too... My previous job was situated in a city where pollution has more effect to more people than where my home is. I guess that's a common situation.
I would be interested in seeing the results of an investigation into a similar study that also factors in the importance of what is *behind* the password.
I don't think I'm the only one who puts more effort into choosing a 'good' password for things that are of value. I choose really quite poor passwords for things I really don't care about - eg have no sensitive information behind the login. For things like cash point cards, and other things in front of my actual money, I attempt to use much better passwords.
I think there are many things of little or no value, while just a few of high value. I guess this might skew the numbers somewhat. It's probably quite difficult to factor in this aspect, but it makes me question the conclusions.
doesn't that simply escalate the issue - ie the people who want to commit mass murder will simply use bombs instead...yeah, a bit like the nuclear arms race?
That also works for their primary purpose, ie against a tyrannical government, does it not? It seems to work that way anyway, judging from how militarised the police force are these days. They're really not much different to the army, as far as I can tell.

In the short term, perhaps. I would imagine ZTE (and others) will think twice about using US parts in future.
Well, he might have done.

I had my Audi A1 1.6 diesel "fixed" and they didn't add any urea device. I'm not sure what they did actually.
I don't recall that ever being the case for the USA... certainly not for automotive.

On the Commodore PET. On the BBC Micro not long after.

..but it has a Downloads folder too. Are you sure you've actually used ChromeOS?
What's a "finder"? It has folders/files and an excellent file finding facility. There's no desktop, that's true.
... And there's the location of the pollution too... My previous job was situated in a city where pollution has more effect to more people than where my home is. I guess that's a common situation.
Have you considered WSL?

I'm finding it has possibilities but I mostly work on the command line and do web development so only need chrome other than that.
It's good that Windows ensures everything works and I just leave it alone and work in bash and chrome.
It's still beta but I find it already largely works.

I wonder if tazers could be a substitute...
