I used to like Thunderf00t. Now he seems to devote most of his time to being a wet blanket towards all new emerging technologies. While it is easy to agree with him on topics like the solar roadway, it is just as easy to call him out as an uninformed alarmist on many other topics he "exposes". Being smug used to be part of his charm, now he is just annoying.
The extreme engineering challenges this technology needs to overcome are many. Extreme challenges cannot be understated. This has left me skeptical just due to the amount of financial backing something like this needs. But I have held that this is the type of situation where if you throw enough money at R&D it just might work out, this is of course not always true. So, the plot thickens. Time will tell.
One of the greatest joys of my 6th generation Kindle Fire is that the battery just goes and goes and goes unlike any device I've ever owned, and a lot of that is playing music. What version of the fire do you have with horrible battery life? This is a real question, I am not trying to call you out. I was planning on getting the new 10.1 screen version when it comes out in a few days.
So I get it that we are probably talking about a phone interface, but tablets are mobile too. I have a couple cheap x86 tablet running a full install of Windows 10. One with Home one with Pro. Windows 10 runs remarkably well on them. I do understand that it's a different ballgame, but I find it to be very useful.
I had a Windows Phone a couple years ago. At first, the interface was great. But once I had installed a number of apps I found it impossible to include more than a few in the launcher before things got out of control.
With some tweaks that I don't think would have to ruin the interface, Windows 10 on an 8inch phone sounds great. With Android apps coming to the browser... better: purchase AMIDuOS from American Megatrends.
That fact that a CNN article is on the front page of Slashdot says a lot. Eating it up without question just shows people here have no clue what's going down in this country.
Bashing random peoples heads in is not protected speech. I knew very well I would get modded down for my post, because of blind people like you. It wasn't long ago a bunch of Antifa thugs beat some up for having a genetic defect that prevented him from growing hair.
They will shut off access to their services from the EU and see how they like that.
If they follow through with these requests, it will by default affect principles of free speech here in the USA. What the EU already considers censurable hate speech is insane. As time goes on, they will only add more and more that Facebook and Twitter will have to follow.
I vaguely remember ditching Firefox a decade or more ago as it had become an unwieldy, slow, decrepit, etc... pile of bloatware garbage. I never expected I would be using it again. Over the last few years, for my own reasons, I have sought to de-google my life here and there within practical limits. On my Windows 10 machine, I have been using Edge for about a year and have found it to be surprisingly nice. I think it may have been over another Firefox related story here on Slashdot last week that prompted me to install the current Firefox on a whim. I have not looked back. I am not going to hammer out a review in this comment, but I haven't been so happy with the performance, functionality, and UI of a web browser since the last time Firefox was good. I was quite surprised. I am glad to hear they are continuing to make improvements. Here's to a Firefox renaissance.
A few decades ago, Spain granted Catalonia quite a lot of autonomy away from the greater nation. While I don't know enough of the history to know why they did this, they were asking for this sort of trouble by doing it the first place. Catalonia is very wealthy, has a distinct culture, and provides about 20% of Spain's total GDP. If I remember, the call for total independence started about a decade ago. Spain's response at that time was to remove the extra powers they had been granted with their autonomy, reeling them back in to the fold. So this is not an entirely new issue. While I think Catalonia has a case for independence here, it will not happen. I cannot blame Catalonia for being sore over this. I suspect this will become violent with the end result being a Catalonia that will know longer be in any shape to offer Spain the wealth they are trying to hold on to. This is the creation of the sort of bad blood that will persist, serving neither any good.
"Placing a TouchID sensor on the back of the phone is a singularly horrible idea from a usability standpoint, and thus would have been instantly, and rightly, rejected by Apple's Product Design team for the iPhone."
You sir, are full of shit. On a modern device that potentially contains a lot of sensitive info, yet is easily stolen, giving the users options to choose from is the way to go. On my S8+ I have the following options. I can have them all available, or ignore them all
1. Facial recognition. Depending on lighting, this does not always work. Once the new iPhone is in the wild, I would not be surprised if this primary feature also fails under certain lighting conditions, or if the user is say, wearing a hat. 2. Finger print scanner on the back. The scanner is well placed as can be. If someone has that much trouble, the still have face recognition and these other two.
Iris scanner. The lighting or wearing a hat problem need not apply here. 3. Disable the whole lot and just use the pin code that all other things default to if there is a problem.
I have a number of reasons for not wanting an iPhone, but having a variety of security options to use or not use was a big selling point for me. That and the audio jack which use for several purposes, none of which involve head phones.
Every year when the new iPhone comes out, I stay out of this conversation, but the new iPhone is a step back in many respects. Oh, and at least I am not spending $1,000 on a phone with rapid charging capapabilites only to have to pay extra for Apples rapid charging power brick. That right there is robbery in the face of Apple admitting the device is already overpriced but they don't because people will buy it anyway. And after all that, they just settled a court case in which they established that an iPhone is expected to fail after the first year, when many people will not even have it paid off yet.

You must be new around here. We "censor" ourselves. Majority rules on Slashdot.

After that, a real computer plus specialty devices like the Kindle Fire.

"We want to get a billion people in virtual reality,"
Zuckerberg says that and I get a bit nervous.
Good enough that I have never had to pay enough attention to give you a solid answer.
Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now.
Now go have a Brawndo, you could use the electrolytes.

Nope same difference.

I really don't understand your post, but "eternal dim bulb coronation allure" would make a great name for a band.
The fake news article this links to is covering up the fact that we are talking about Antifa.

Please remember that Puerto Rico is our responsibility. This something we need to be talking about.
