I still say this will go down as one of the most disastrous business deals in history. Yahoo is done. Verizon is buying a rotting corpse and they will regret it.
I am still rocking the Priv and love it for the slide out keyboard. The phone still manages to be thin with great battery life. The two things I do not like about it are that the keyboard does not have the raised bumps, nor does it have the tool belt which I insist they could have integrated, albeit in a miniature fashion.
The KeyOne interests me greatly, but again no tool belt. I realize the tool belt makes most sense with a BB10 phone, but they should be able to put some software together to give it meaningful and similar functionality. The absolute deal breaker for me on that phone is the fixed keyboard which means VR is out of the question. We will see how the other phones look. The bottom line is that if you are looking for a BB phone with a keyboard, the tool belt is an essential component. Otherwise it's just not the same. A pity this was not understood.
Yes, I also remember almost every comment critical of Trump, including mine, being systematically modded into oblivion. It did not matter that many added to the conversation in a level-headed way. It was the first time I ever found myself surprised by the readership here, and that says a lot. Perhaps I will see you in the land of trolls over this even now.
I am a long time Slackware lover. I first installed it in 1994 on a 486 DX50, had no real idea what Linux was yet and after finally getting X to startx, TWM loaded and I gave a up for a couple months. Anyway, if you are a Slackware fan, give Porteus a try. It's a lightweight Slack derivate meant for portability via USB stick buts it's easy to lay down on an SSD. It works really well.
I hate to reply to myself, but someone will bring up Chromebook competition. As a pathological nerd who has been running Linux since 1996, and is currently running a host of other operating systems (FreeBSD, OS2\Warp, etc...). My Windows 10 computer has become my daily driver since I purchased it a month or two ago. My Windows 10 computer? It is a 10 inch tablet with a paltry quad-core Cherry Trail and 4 whole gigs of ram. It is magnetically connected to a really slick keyboard\trackpad dock. It has one USB-C port and two USB-2 ports. It is also surprising fast with many applications running. This is a full fledged Windows 10 computer. Total cost? $250. That is well in line with the capability limited ChromeBooks. Admittedly, Bash on Windows goes a long way with me.
There is a lot of speculation about the purpose of this implementation of Windows 10. Everyone says they have the answers and they are all inconsistent with one another. Now I will speculate. I do not think Microsoft is so stupid as to try and release this on the masses. Not even in developing countries. My take is that this is for the enterprise. Well, not precisely. If you have ever seen a Windows computer, or administrated them in a call center environment, they are locked down as fuck. That and similar happens to be a massive market. If you can remove much of the lock down administration required, that would be golden. I don't see this making sense in any other capacity. The truth is, Microsoft has been smartening up as of late, so....
Does anyone remember when the stated goal of at least the earliest KDE alpha had the stated goal of being a perfect Windows 95 clone? Looking around, this fact seems to have been erased from history.
I was hoping to like it, I really was. One thing is for sure, I am not their target audience. Everything I can do with it that I need to I can do between Onenote and Onedrive, with much greater ease. The interface itself seems very cumbersome, unfinished, and unpolished. They want to charge for this? I can see plainly that they are trying to do innovative stuff to stand out in an increasingly crowded market, but this has all the hallmarks of way to many developers with way to many managers looking over their shoulders.
It sounded cool, and I wanted and even tried to like it. Ultimately this falls flat on it face IMHO.
I played around with the team sharing features, I can see where that could quickly snowball into a cluster fuck.
Sorry Dropbox, back to the drawing board with you and best of luck. Oh and if you take another swipe? Have the ability to toggle off completely the whole team thing you are trying to do. Some of us would benefit great without it.
That sounds like one of those YouTube video titles I border on clicking all for the sake of morbid curiosity. The difference is it has nothing to do with the Mandela effect, PizzaGate, Lizard People, Hillary Hillary Hillary, etc...
It is not that I do not understand Star Trek's reflection on society, but if the writers are going to really lean in on contemporary issues are we going to have a safe space instead of a rec room? Are we going to have Star Fleet vessels issuing trigger warning as a hostile craft swoops in for the attack? The times we live in are absolutely whackadoodle I could see this happening as unintentional SJW propaganda.
I'm getting modded troll on my original post, and will probably get knocked down here to, but I don't really care. Let's see where my statements are in a year. If you reply to this please keep in mind that words hurt and can even qualify as physical assault. If you are going to say something mean please post a trigger warning first so I can get to my safe room.
I figured they'd fuck it up. Star Trek: SJW Not trying to troll or act as flame bait. I mean Enterprise had a decent start... until the time war story line. Oh please don't let this follow a story line.

Still waiting to hear about the lamest sig on Slashdot.
If I keep posting, it's because I get paid $1 every time I mention Carl's Junior : p
For fucks sake, I was dialing into all kinds of crazy shit on a 286 since before you were Bourne.
I mean 1994.
bigoted much? I've been running Slackware since a 486 DX50 was hot. Along with other OS's
Replying to myself again. It is no hardcore gaming machine, but I have been very surprised how well it handles 3d graphics.

Okay, so it came to 281.97 for the tablet and the dock, but it is still badass.
I have been using Windows since 3.11 along aside other operating systems. Why limit yourself?
Way off topic, I have been wondering for the longest time. What the fuck does your sig mean exactly. I mean I see the words, but...

That's one way to get punched in the face.

Navigate to...

How many small cats are there in the world?
Sometimes I ask that second question a second time before I go to bed, just to be sure.
Now that Google is in the abbreviation game, I think they should shorten its name to G Ass.
Ya.... who?

Does this mean they will have a non-binary android as a cast member?
Pretty please.
