It is called "Suggested Apps", and with one tic inside of settings, it is entirely disabled. Do we need an entire bitchfest for a simple optional OS feature that is easily disabled?
Apple dropped all support for 32-bit ARM CPUs. That's literally the only reason. They switched their OS to be 64-bit only. Granted, it isn't the easiest thing in the world to manage multiple architectures, but this is still a huge blow to everyone (myself included) who is running 32-bit ARM Apple products.
I, too, am absolutely astonished by the cost. Not for being high, but actually for being unusually low for Seattle... the city that spent north of $60,000 per bike rack installation. $150k for an entire project!? Fuck, that's cheap!
What is the definition of a "robot" here? Is it something that is more human or animal oriented? I'm sitting right next to a printer, which replaced a type writer. They are functionally the same, press ink into paper in specific patterns. Because it isn't a large mechanical beast pressing down keys to apply lettered ink to paper, is it no longer in the classification of a "robot", even though it uses mechanical gears to move the paper and print head around? This could be applied to all sorts of computerized mechanical devices all around us now. Where is the line drawn to build these stats? And as such, then the stats could easily be swayed larger or smaller to fit a given narrative that one wants to persuade the reader to.
Simple as this, "Popular" doesnt mean something is "Better", it just means it is more widely used and marketed. Marketing isn't just for selling products, it is also a way to influence others to be in agreeable with you on a particular idea. In this case, it is the marketing of "use my free software because..." and whoever has the loudest, furthest reaching voice generally wins.
For one huge example, the list has text editors. Emacs? Vim? Nano? And we're talking about desktop distributions? Hands down, none of those compare to the quality of Sublime Text as a text editor.
As others have pointed out in this post already, there isn't any "killer apps" for Linux out there. So the software being ran is all console software with a prettified multi-tasking window manager to organize all of those console windows. This seems to be the current mindset of all Linux is really used for in the desktop space.
This just goes to show the trouble with today's mindset of software, that any sort of decent backwards compat support is seen as revolutionary. And here I am, running Windows 10, still printing on a printer built in 1998 (that has official Win10 drivers), and using software written for Windows 95 that still works flawlessly. As much as the Slashdot crew loves to bitch about Microsoft, the WIn32 API has been stable as hell since its inception, MS has put in a great deal of effort to ensure software retains functionality. (yes, this excludes the DDK, which changes every Windows version)
Seconding this. From the way things read, it appears to be part of the Tegra chip itself, not a separate chip. However, that doesn't mean it isn't flashable. I'm not sure about this specific implementation, but playing with microcontrollers like ARM or AVR chips, they all have embedded persistent storage banks for code and data on the same die as the processor (and well everything else for that matter, being full SoC)
So, what does this do that Google Voice didn't already do like 8 years ago? Other than work with the phone's main number, instead of the GVoice number that is. Otherwise, this is ass-old tech that should have been around ages ago!
Have you actually seen the internals of UPS? Their technology is actually an absolute fucking JOKE. USPS and FedEx are both light years ahead of UPS, which isn't saying much, since they all use old and clusterfucked technology.
Admittedly, I read it wrong too... And was wondering why they were talking about streamers on Twitter. Which I think is even worse, since I use Twitch more than Twitter.
Inb4 all the comments of Telsa being a failure for the amount of money they are losing. But, in reality, that money isn't a loss. It is investment. Look how long Amazon lasted before they turned their first profit.
Windows 2000: Version NT 5.0 (business OS only, like NT 4) Window XP: Version NT 5.1 (business and consumer OS, replacing NT/2000 and 9x)
Their kernels were remarkably similar. Their releases were very close together. XP was simply 2000 with a skin and a few updated applications, otherwise they were essentially the same OS. Regardless of the actual install base of 2000, it was the core OS internals that migrated all of the multimedia and application code from 9x to the NT kernel. It was monumental.
My very first thought was... Windows 2000 source code. How is iOS considered larger? In relative market dominance, when the 2k source code was released, Microsoft controlled significantly more market share than Apple does currently.
Why would it suspiciously be cut short? Elon Musk actively celebrates the learned experiences of failure when rockets blow up. He was even joking around yesterday that if the entire mission was a failure with the entire thing exploding (the entire heavy, not just the central booster), that it would still be an awesome experience.
From TFS: "The suit alleges T-Mobile is at fault partly because the carrier said it would add a PIN code to Tapang's account prior to the incident, but didn't actually implement it."
So, yes, in theory it is a great idea... when actually implemented.
My Nexus 7 2012 that I paid less than $200 for is still going damn strong these days. It does exactly what it was intended to do. It can stream videos at 1080p. It can play music. It can run every social media app. It can browse the web. It can act as a Chromecast remote. There is no "killer app" to force an upgrade at all.
I keep pondering the Microsoft Surface tablets due to my multimedia production work (primarily Lightroom and Photoshop), but honestly cannot justify the $1000 of a "tablet" that has similar specs to a $300 laptop I purchased six years ago.
*THIS* is exactly why both markets are fading. Neither have killer apps that require an upgrade.
For comparison, I purchased a 12" "netbook" back in 2012 brand new for $300. Everything is very easily upgradable in it (1 screw opens the bottom door, allowing access to RAM, HDD, CPU). I pulled a pair of 4GB RAM sticks out of the dead laptop it was replacing, so it is running decently on 8GB now. It came with 320GB HDD, that I've considered replacing with a SSD. It also still has wired gigabit ethernet. It is only a dual-core Celeron CPU, but then again, looking at the M3? The performance isn't that very far off. So really, the only thing this new surface has over my now 6 year old netbook is USB3, a better screen, and DisplayPort instead of HDMI. That's it for more than 3x the cost. Oh also, my netbook was upgraded to Windows 10 Pro for free, so none of the limitations of Windows 10 S.
Except, it only applies to those already in the class action. For instance, I have a friend with a LG phone listed above that got stuck in a bootloop recently. Sucks to be him! Because he's not in the existing class action, so he gets jack shit.
And yet, "Sun" lives on today because they open-sourced so much of their software before going defunct. For example: ZFS has become the gold standard in which all other storage solutions hope to achieve parity with.

How are books manufacturered? The HP Deskjet replaced the traditional hand done printing press.

Facebook has physical offices within the city of Seattle. I'm sure they can think of several ways to enforce this upon those offices.

Yes, because he lost so much money on PayPal.
My bad, its the 2013 model. But still, that is five years old now!
