Your argument is weakened by the fact the newest iPhones actually have LESS battery capacity than the prior model (iPhone 7.)
And it is further weakened by the fact that my phone (Kyocera Duraforce PRO) is thicker, with a bigger battery. It is also a tank that has withstood rock slides and a minor mining cave-in.
Tell that to my FX-9370-based system which is currently undergoing a full reinstall due to this bullshit. Microsoft might spend that money on testing against INTEL products. Why do you think the term "Wintel" exists?
"As an Oregonian, that case really pissed me off."
Given the majority of your states people don't know how to pump their own fucking gas, I doubt you'd be able to appreciate the ORGANIZED HARASSMENT CAMPAIGN the bakers did. No, those simple little fucking details tend to slip by your hippie-ass minds.
No, Pai deserves 100% of the blame. He's the Verizon shill that carried this out. It could simply had not have happened were it not for his decision and greed. He could've turned around and given the corporations both middle fingers when he got into the FCC, instead he took all of their dicks up his ass and begged for more.
And as of right now Sony is settling on that OtherOS fuckup. I just got the e-mail last week about the settlement notice. Perhaps we should do the same thing to nVidia.
No it isn't. EA backed down and settled the moment we put that forth when I sued them over Spore. That means they likely know they were wrong and didn't want to lose in court. The product was defective in that the extra software it contained caused system damage.
"Maybe if they spent half the time, energy and money on technical stuff as they do on slimy marketing, this issue wouldn't have happened in the first place"
You apparently have no goddamned clue about technical stuff. One of the flaws itself lies directly in how Out Of Order Execution is SUPPOSED to work.
Try taking hardware design classes before opening your mouth on a subject you clearly do not know!
Hey, I could bitch endlessly at nVidia dropping 8-bit acceleration support, thus making some games I own unplayable in OpenGL mode (Metal Gear Solid, as an example.)
"The instructions specifically said that it won't have the full charge capacity until you do"
That should have been done at the factory right after coming off the assembly line, when the battery control electronics were installed and should have been tested.

"They didn't drop the operating performance. They limited the top speed."
When the fuck is speed not considered part of operating performance? What are you smoking?

So Apple is lying, because the 4S had its production halted in February of 2016. So why the fuck is the 4S no longer getting updates?
Putting AMD hardware next to yours doesn't automatically grant immunity from Meltdown and Spectre. Nice try, though.
Nah. Always Be Careful... 12345... Can't Be Assed.
The long time period is the unscalable part.
"Ethereum for some reason never really went down and has been on mostly a steady climb for some time."
That's because the proof of stake system was finally demoed.
"Why would AMD suddenly start concentrating on the embedded market (where they don't have a presence to speek of)"
Uhh, console gaming systems are embedded systems. Guess what the entire current gen runs?
"MS spends a fortune in engineer-hours on QA"

"Political opinions are not a protected class."
I bet you vote Republican given that astounding level of ignorance.

Yea, no. Do you know what a riot is?

"Are you really trying to compare 8-bit acceleration support (which nothing used)"
Plenty of games used it, moron.
You're lying, and here's how we can tell.
Slashdot has a special bug/feature. It doesn't support Apple's keyboard inputs 100%, especially some of the fairly common punctuation marks.
Android doesn't have this problem on this site.
Your post has the Apple-specific bug visible for everyone else to see.

It's only a conflict of interest if you currently work there. If you don't work there, you have no interest, therefore there is no conflict.
Please try again when you understand the full implications of conflict of interest.
You heard me, go read fucking Snagglepuss. This is why DC is kicking Marvel in the dick on sales.

He was probably a Call of Duty player.
This person's never heard of the petrodollar. That's fucking rich coming from someone with a lower UID than mine.
You did the conditioning steps. That is your problem. You condition NiCd batteries. Ni-MH and Lithium did not need it and in fact damages it.
