I don't think its knowledge, Google has some limitations due to antitrust laws but really its the lack of incentives. You are not the manufacturers customer - the carrier is, and the carrier doesn't give a shit about security vulnerabilities affecting the user. Even when updates are issued for older devices often the updates affect performance negatively, this includes Google itself and from what I understand Apple.
How much pirating of music occurs now vs before reasonably priced music stores? It is a mix of both price and convenience, movies and tv haven't made the combination palatable for many.
Maybe its just me, but personally I won't have anything to do with any product with a lithium ion battery that isn't from a major manufacturer. I find it too risky to accept that someone operating on thin margins is doing all the engineering necessary to ensure their products and supply chains are safe.
Look I played EverQuest for years but how many new MMOs are people making at this point? After EverQuest there was a swarm of companies trying to cash in on MMOs but even before Warcraft was released that frenzy was already subsiding.
I think this is why the CRPG genre has gradually shifted away from MMOs back to single-player instanced games in recent years. It's hard to make players feel special in a shared-world game with thousands of other heroes running around. Though a good compromise might be a shared-instance CRPG which you can play together with a few friends.
The death of MMOs had nothing to do with that - every genre has a finite lifespan.
My general observation with this stuff has been that someone stumbles across a new model that seems to work, all the companies jump on it like a fat kid on a Smartie, then some company pushes the idea to some egregious point where it blows up and permanently taints the model.
Loot boxes are particularly egregious imo since they aren't posting odds and definitely are targeting people who are vulnerable to gambling.
If you look at their github account they've dropped their license into clones of Google's Android repositories. Even if you're adding commits you don't get to re-license the code.
Is it? Consider cars, is the environmental impact only what directly comes out of your tailpipe or is it the portion of materials, construction energy, and moving materials/fuel around?
The lsat few times I've been in the local walmart in Canada they've had a dozen-ish Switches sitting in stock. At least here shortages appear to have been more than met. On the otherhand, I've never seen a SNES Classic or a NES Classic.
t they are only as secure as their third party endpoints and adopted software (in this case, they say it was a bug in Apache Struts that allowed someone access).
The struts bug was known, and they weren't monitoring their network for unusual traffic. Lumping in libraries you use in your software with what third parties do is ridiculous.

This is Slashdot., even if most of the articles are shitty tech blog posts we should still assume readers are nerds.
Age Sex Location Real?
Its still misleading to advertise it as 6.95 a month when you've tacked on another fee.
Air resistance at high speeds is the problem, a Tesla going that fast isn't going to have its charge last long either.

Ditto, Firefox has stayed my preferred browser. Though I still use Chrome because I prefer the devtools.

I can't speak to Germany, but definitely has been the case in the USA.
They're burning too much to meet their emissions goal....
Unfortunately a lot of nuclear FUD is bankrolled by the coal industry pretending to be grass roots. This has been a big issue in the USA also.

New CSS renderer - anecdotally I was using the beta on Android for some time and it felt snappier.
Yep looks like that was it, thanks!
Anyone else seeing large gaps to the left of the address bar and to the right of the search bar?
Also, the new tabs look a lot uglier...
You mean - all of them. Satoshi apparently has around 1-million bitcoins.
Nah, he's too busy micromanaging moving parts between warehouses.

What about Twitter? They developed a perpetual emotion machine.
They could disable the date check...
