That is complete non-sense. Profits also go to people designing and producing those robots, because the market price of such robots is also driven by the value such robots can deliver.
Saying there would be no jobs is ridiculous. If there wouldn't be any, then companies using robots would go bankrupt, because nobody could afford to buy anything built by these robots.
I am amazed such a post has achieved "Score: 5".
This isn't really shocking. If the app is part of the system image, then the app cannot be normally deleted, because the system image is read-only and only touched during system updates.
Disabling the app DOES have the same effect as deleting it, except it doesn't free up any storage space.
I'm also sticking to my Note 3.
I agree with all the above points, but I'm for sure not willing to spend $1400 on a Note 9 when I bought the Note 3 for half that price.
Note 9 is clearly better - for sure - but not THAT much better to justify this insane price.
I second this. My experience with Steam Link has been nothing but a nightmare.
Maybe it was caused by me running Steam on Linux or by using 2160p as the desktop resolution, but it has always required me getting up from the couch and sorting things out at the desktop.
And the problems didn't get solved. Last time I tried it with games that used to work well in the past, it failed horribly.
So thumbs down to Valve for selling me a broken product.
You have no clue what wasm can and cannot do, right?
All wasm can do is to have a linear memory buffer for its memory allocations (kindly provided by JavaScript) and make some calls between wasm and JS. Wasm has absolutely no access to your system and any interaction with the outer world needs to be done via JS.
Yes, they could. I once received some money into my account at AlertPay. I didn't need the money at that time, so I left them there.
I came looking for them later and the account was empty. I learned that they introduced a new provision in their TOS that says "if you don't access your money for some time, we'll take all of them away". So I ended up with zilch.
Is it just my impression that Intel didn't do squat during the past half year, and only started searching for fixes now that the vulnerabilities are public?
What's also shocking to me, Intel is introducing new CPU models to the market that still don't have the flaws fixed. They really think the whole problem is overrated and no urgent action is needed.
What about Android is not Linux? It's a Linux system like any other that just doesn't use X11/Wayland/Mir for display, but uses SurfaceFlinger instead.
I work in embedded Linux area and Android for me is just another flavor of Linux.
What a load of nonsense. No clue why this post got so modded up.
I do embedded Linux development (besides Android platform porting) and when you do embedded Linux, you also don't use "GNU utilities, systemd, X, Wayland, or any of the desktop environments typically found on a Linux system". We use Busybox (which is also used on Android, at least optionally), custom scripts and EGL for rendering.
But I see no reason for not calling these embedded systems Linux.
Google could probably silently switch the Linux kernel to the NetBSD kernel or some other kernel, and nobody else would have any idea it happened.
That also bull****. Have you ever heard of the NDK?

I personally chose ODROID-C2 for this, which probably fullfills all of your criteria (except for DRM), runs LibreELEC (Kodi) and costs just $46.
Yes, disabled apps cannot receive intents, for instance. And if you don't trust the whole OS, then the Facebook app isn't really the major issue...
If you don't trust Samsung's modified Android, then the Facebook app isn't the major concern. And this article is just about the FB app.
You are right (sadly), they could, but that's a general issue not related to the preinstalled FB app.
Clearly, companies do all kinds of modifications to Android, but it's not too hard to check if a disabled app is really disabled.

LOL, Germany? You mean the country that shut down its nuclear power plants for "safety" reasons only to have them replaced with coal power plants?
Actually no, EC commissioners aren't elected, they are appointed by national governments. I consider this the biggest democratic deficiency if the EU.
Security-aware Tor users disable JS completely in about:config instead of using extensions.
I disagree. Socialism - wherever applied - always left a destroyed country with a failing economy and a huge inner debt (e.g. in infrastructure).
I've never seen that happen with capitalism.
No, it is absolutely not mainstream. Social democrats take some features of socialism, but real socialism looks different. Trust me.
My country suffered under the socialist rule for several decades and hasn't recovered yet.

So quit whining.
I assume advanced users will be able to use something like SSH keys.
GitHub and SourceForge are both US-based. Why should they care about the crazy laws our dearest EU politicians make up?
Yes, they could. I once received some money into my account at AlertPay. I didn't need the money at that time, so I left them there.
I came looking for them later and the account was empty. I learned that they introduced a new provision in their TOS that says "if you don't access your money for some time, we'll take all of them away". So I ended up with zilch.
So yes, it could always get worse.

I use Git every day and I cannot imagine how the stuff I can do with it via command line would be implemented as UI features.
So the UI is limited to simple tasks performed by people who need nothing more than commit, push and pull and I see no problem with that.
Read the comments above. I'm not reacting to the article, but to the discussion in this thread.

Why would you tax your income twice?
Antifa is an organization that openly embraces violence. So they are very much like the Nazis.
