Also, the last time I cared, iStuff only had one carrier, while Androids were avaiable with every carrier. If that is still the case, this could just be averaging a 30Mbps carrier that has exclusive deals with Apple alongside 40Mbps carriers that do not carry iPhones.
iPhones are available on all major carriers and several MVNOs, and have been for some time. You can also buy them carrier-unlocked from the Apple Store.
And coincidently they have discontinued the Time Capsule router/NAS, so you can't do wireless backups to a local device you paid a one-time purchase price on. Gotta be getting everybody on a perpetual payment plan.
"For me it's no longer just about selling products from Germany in China. I would also like to sell products in Europe," Liu told the paper.
This quote reads kinda backwards to me. Did he mean perhaps: "...it's no longer just about selling products from China to Germany. I would also like to sell products from inside Europe"? Or maybe he means sell EU-produced good alongside the Chinese ones?
Or is JD.com some sort of "imported goods" type business that actually sells European products to Chinese consumers normally?
Lots of stores don't do business if power is not operating anyway, because they don't have enough natural lighting in their location to guarantee customer safety, can't track inventory if power is out, their alarm systems are down, and generally don't trust their employees to add up bills themselves -- something with I think says more about our education system than anything.
Yeah, I'm sure that everyone will be really happy to haul one hundred pounds (45 kg) of gold to the dealer to buy a car. Or five hundred pounds (225 kg) of gold to buy a house....
> Implying people are not getting financing to buy cars and homes to begin with.
As far as down payments go, you can carry a sum of gold in one hand equal to these amounts.
The point being we've done a hell of a lot more with less. They should hold their tongues because there is a (pardon the pun) world of difference between U.S. and Russian space exploration accomplishment and what they've achieved.
Except that wasn't your response. Your response quoted a subset of the original message and didn't reply to all of it. Had you not quoted the text or had you quoted the entire requirement list your reply would have been in a very different context.
I'm sorry, my original replydoes, in fact, quote the entirety of the original requirement list. Did I bullet-point every bit and give my reasoning? No. Because if you follow my link it is apparent why I point out this handset. The price difference is readily apparent, the screen size it right at the top in 18 point type, trumpeting this is one of those (now rare) Android phones with a screen under 5" in size. A scanning of the features list will tell someone versed in phones this is not a cheap low-performance handset.
As far as battery power, that's a bit harder to gauge. I don't own a Xperia XZ1 Compact, I have the previous year's model, which was done as a more mid-range phone than this one. I get almost five days on one charge, and this newer one is supposed to be a little better in endurance (talk/music/video playback) than that, although the standby time is allegedly less. Battery is hard to recommend as it depends on the user's individual habits and what apps they run. Get rid of Facebook completely from the device (and any messaging apps that run in the background all the time), and you'll be surprised how much longer your phone lasts.
I didn't mention the current model because it's gotten bigger in ways that don't benefit the user much. An 18:9 screen will be wasted space on most modern media and the extra thickness does not come with a comparable increase in battery capacity. Jumping to a 1080p screen has hurt battery longevity as well. In addition, there's no headphone jack in this newest iteration, something the OP specifically wanted.
I see nothing written by you justifying your choice of the Galaxy S9. Pot calling Kettle what?
The end result is someone didn't understand the conversation. Regardless of how you defend it, someone didn't understand. You failed to communicate properly.
My reply was directed to the OP, and he would understand as we was being directly replied to. It's not my job to make a digest of the entire thread in my individual post for future readers. If you want to be in the conversation, make the fucking effort to read the context for yourself. Quoting every previous post ad nauseam is how we end up with those joke "corporate email chain" stories where a one sentence reply becomes a 3 Mbyte message on server.
Actually, their longest so far is 33 days, during the Shenzhou 11 mission in 2016.
The mission you link to, Shenzhou 5, was their first crewed mission - they have orbited two space station since then, with multiple crewed missions.
Ah, thank you for the correction. I blame the poor organization of the general Chinese Space Program article on Wikipedia for not listing anything after 2007 in the section titled "History and recent developments" e_e
But that doesn't change much when these Chinese missions are within the last five years, meanwhile we have Americans and Russians running space stations for over three decades and spending months in space at a time.
The original poster rejects the Galaxy S10, specifically calling out the screen size, price, and battery life, and you think they should buy the previous version of the exact same phone, which features the exact same size screen, will debut in the same pricing segment, and barring a major internal redesign, will have roughly the same battery life.
I can only assume you either: 1) Didn't read the OP's wish list for the phone they want, or 2) Blindly questioned my suggestion, without looking at the specs to consider the reason I chose it. Maybe playing some Samsung loyalty angle? I dunno.
In either case, I don't see me as being the one with a "communication issue".
To use a car analogy:
Original Poster: "What is with this focus on huge trucks every year? I want a vehicle that's under $25 grand, has good cargo room, and gas mileage."
My response: "Have you checked out the Hyundia Elantra hatchbacks? They have a pretty surprising amount of room and they start at $20k.
Diamonds AREN'T that rare which is why resale is so bad on them.
It's also why it doesn't matter if the Earth's mantle is full of diamonds. If it is, and we were to suddenly get access to them, we wouldn't be rich because we would have just crashed the diamond market.
Because a Galaxy S9 is not "less expensive, smaller screen so it is considered a phone not a tablet", whereas the phone I linked is half the price of an S9 and more than an inch smaller in screen, but still Sony's flagship phone performance-wise?
"For several years we've been been publicly saying that our 3G CDMA network will remain available through the end of 2019..."
Now, as is noted in the statement above, Verizon has committed to shutting down its 3G CDMA network by the end of 2019.
No, that's not what they said. Verizon verbally confirmed the 3G network will be available through the end of 2019. They never stated it was not going to be available after that, they simply did not commit to keeping it up. They are leaving themselves the option of shutting it down then. Nothing has been said about it being taken offline.
..less expensive, smaller screen so it is considered a phone not a tablet, decent battery that lasts at least 3 days, audio jack, external card?
Not sure if by "external card" you mean "can add an SD card" or "can change the SD card while the phone remains running" but I would point you towards this.
If the buyer is the wrong person you can just email them and tell them the item was already sold in some other way and you were mistaken. Many items being listed on eBay are also listed on other sites or exist in a physical store (like antiques). So it's plausible bad inventory control could cause something to be sold twice.

By design 'late payment' is never an issue on debit cards.
No, but overdraft fees are when really that should be equally preventable.

Is Facebook making your life miserable ? .....then ,why are you using Facebook ?
I don't use Facebook. I just keep hearing about all the issues it causes.
Not sure if the summary was edited after you post, but the "use it or lose it part" is right there -- the last sentence of the summary.
Facebook is like Trump: No matter what atrocities they commit, no one takes action and they are allowed to continue to make people's lives miserable.
The point being we've done a hell of a lot more with less. They should hold their tongues because there is a (pardon the pun) world of difference between U.S. and Russian space exploration accomplishment and what they've achieved.
You're post isn't filled with smart-quote gibberish, you're already ahead of most the iPhone posts I read.

Their longest manned flight was only 21 hours.
Call me when China puts people on the moon with 1960's rocket tech.
How long before we see:”US customers had their iCloud data stored in China by mistake” :D
Uh, that already happened.

You: "You sure suck at communicating".

It's also why it doesn't matter if the Earth's mantle is full of diamonds. If it is, and we were to suddenly get access to them, we wouldn't be rich because we would have just crashed the diamond market.
Why not just point towards the Galaxy S9?
Because a Galaxy S9 is not "less expensive, smaller screen so it is considered a phone not a tablet", whereas the phone I linked is half the price of an S9 and more than an inch smaller in screen, but still Sony's flagship phone performance-wise?
Thanks for playing, Sherlock.

AOL is part of Oath now (which is a Verizon company).
So you're expecting Verizon to buy AT&T?
Oh no. The hackers were able to read information users posted specifically to share with people!
