Battery life. My laptop (t470) gets 20h battery life streaming a youtube video over wifi in windows, and 7h doing the same in linux. I get 6 hours compiling linux kernel in a loop in a linux vm, and only 4 doing the same in linux natively on the same hardware.
microsoft has better docs from intel, and until this changes, linux on laptop is only a joke, or for people who do not care about battery life
one notable exception: chromebooks, because google also gets ecret intel docs i assume.
single point of failure - the manufacture code to generate said unlock key. no better than nay other key escrow system - one leak and everyone's got no security.
There is a way to do it as long as it is 7 days away, but it is rather roundabout. go to clock app. Set alarm for proper time. click "yes" for "repeat". Deselect all days except target day
done
I've been asked by them to unlock my phone. I happily do. Same for laptop. This is because, expecting this shit, I SCP all the things I care about to me home computer before returning to USA and erase my laptop and phone. They are welcome to inspect the "welcome to android" screen on my phone and "no bootable disk found" screen on my laptop.
Spoken like a person who's never designed battery-powered systems.
People do not understand the distinction between backgrounded and killed. You might (perhaps maybe) but the general user does not. Add to this the general incompetence of your average "app" writer, and you're left with hundreds of background threads keeping your CPU wake and making your battery life shit.
What android does (and iOS too) is the only sane thing to do when on batteries: do your best to make as few things run as possible. Have special APIs for background tasks that actually need to happen in background (downloading, updates, audio).
You know, back in the day they published whole doxxing books. One per town (though you could request another town's by mail). In fact many such doing books were shipped for free to everyone. They were white and yellow too, if I remember correctly.
Tried to ask if it is available in my Area. Here's the REAL transcript:

Is Gigabit Pro available in Rex Manor Area of Mountain View, CA?
Gigabit Pro will generally be available to homes within one-third of a mile of Comcast's fiber network and will require installation of professional-grade equipment. Select markets in Atlanta, California, Chattanooga, Chicago, Florida, Knoxville, and Nashville have been chosen for initial launch, with the addition of numerous West Coast markets in the coming months.
dmitry
1:47PM
ok...so can you tell me if a given address meets that criteria?
Elvin
1:49PM
To properly assist you, I will transfer you to our sales department. Would that be fine?
Elvin
1:50PM
I would like to set your expectation that you have actually reached Comcast High Speed Internet Technical Support.
Elvin
1:50PM
No worries, I can still resolve your issue by connecting this chat to the department that handles this. I assure you that this will be accommodated accordingly.
dmitry
1:50PM
ok

Thank you. Please wait while the problem is escalated to another analyst. There may be a 3-5 minutes hold for the chat to be assisted, and you will see a message that says I have âoeleft the roomâ; but please don't close the chat window for the next available agent to assist you.
why would the owner agree to that. his domain - he can do whatever he wants. he really was first to the name. if anyone should be handing out licenses to that name, he can. and if i were him i would not.
Either pay a market salary or offer real stock (not options (== lottery tickets that could cost me $$$ to even take a chance on them) that will not be diluted to hell. Don't want to? others will. There goes your great engineer.
Am I really the only one who permanently blacklists any website that has "video" news? Video requires 100% of my attention, and probably headphones, to avoid distracting all those around me. It also occurs at your speed. I can read faster than you can talk, and it does not distract anyone around me.
If i want to *SEE* what happened i'll go to youtube
On a news site I want to *READ* about it!
Slashdot Mirror
good for them

Oh, they realize it. Why do you think they are campaigning for college student loan forgiveness?

And by "deep learning" in most cases they mean "linear regression on cleaned-up data"
That is quite some buzzword soup right there...
That was pretty well done. I like it

I suggest you look at the SDK google released for Wear. It does what you just described...
very very cool porting debian userspace to a new arch is a fun exercise
Seems like a very hacky solution...
There is no battery "keeping it alive". Source: I work and worked in places that design and make modern cell phones.
Yeah...
