I've tried to go back to Firefox from chrome several times. For me it seems to consume a lot of cpu resources comparatively. On my PC (Ubuntu) the cpu fan runs at full whine. On my MacBook (OSX), the battery life is terrible with Firefox open, even when it is doing nothing. I saw no compelling features that make me want to put up with that.
But government purchasing officers have a mandate to evaluate multiple suppliers and get the best deal for the government.
I can't tell if you're unfamiliar with our government or extremely naive, but our Federal government has spent literally billions of dollars trying to sort out its payroll software, and various governments of various political parties have not managed to figure something out yet in three decades of trying.
You could pair any Bluetooth keyboard with your phone if you have a lot of typing to do. There's some decent compact keyboards that will do the job available on eBay. Any of those RF/USB dongle ones should work with an OTG cable too unless you have an iPhone (last I checked OTG was not available).
For now I would say Apple should focus on making a phone that works at all in the cold. My work phone is an iPhone, and my personal phone has always been some flavour of Android. I work outside quite often at -40 degrees and the iPhone will not work unless it's kept warm somehow, but for some reason none of the Android phones I have owned have ever had a problem.
I'm confused, is this the wall that Mexico is paying for? Because we're having border security issues up here with people fleeing the U.S.. We're anxiously awaiting how this all turns out.
If carbon capture ends up being more expensive than just producing the power with wind/solar/hydro etc, doesn't it seem like a waste to keep the coal plants running?
No. This isnt about taxes. It is about intellectual property theft on a massive scale that China has continued for a long time.
Sure it is. And the tariffs on Canada are about milk. Sorry to break this to you, but it's a tax hike disguised as a means to help the working class poor.
I used Firefox for years before switching to Chrome. Recently I decided to give it another try. On my MacBook the battery longevity goes to somewhere about half of what it is without Firefox open, and it becomes uncomfortably hot. On Android I get warnings about Firefox draining my battery and finding myself locating a charger several times a day. I'm not sure what is going on there, but I'm highly disappointed. Everything else about the browser is great, but it's a showstopper.
There is no surface anymore.. Your top security agency warns agains Russian aggression, and your president advocates for them. The smartest thing for any country to do at this point is to have as little as possible to do with the U.S.
I would save the celebration for a while. Absolutely nothing has been solved thus-far. America is increasingly isolated by the antics of your glorious leader, including his pursuit of Russian interests while he is being investigated for collusion with the Russians.
Yep, that's it exactly. If he doesn't get his way every single time, he's taking his ball and going home. The petty, arrogant, ignorant fool who attacks his friends and plays the victim. Are you on staff with the administration? You play the part very well.
Because unlike any of the past presidents for many decades, he will speak plainly, and as a result he actually will be more trusted and respected by someone who doesn't really know who to trust.
If he's unsure of who to trust, perhaps he should look at how Trump treats his allies. That should clear up any doubt.
And you still have the lowest income tax rates in Canada because of it. Here in Conservative Manitoba, we're getting a carbon tax of 250% what the federal regulation is, and no tax cut. Our premier is hoping nobody notices.
A carbon tax could be an economic stimulus if it's paired with a tax cut to make it revenue neutral. The point of it is to tax things we want less of (pollution) more, and reduce taxes on things we want more of (employment). The entire world agreed to do carbon pricing in Paris except North Korea.. Then came the Orange menace. Now North Korea is in, and only certain U.S. states will honour that agreement.
I don't have a Google Home. I have a nexus player, and a ForgeTV. Anyone connected to the same network they are can take over them at any time. If the tv is off, it will turn on.
I wish they would implement some security whatsoever on them though. I gave my 4 year old an old phone with YouTube Kids on it. Since he's learned to cast though, it's difficult to watch anything but YouTube Kids.
I've been using Plex for quite a while. I use sonarr to grab shows, and radarr for movies (radarr is a fork of sonarr). They scrape torrent and nzb sites for available stuff that I want and feed it them to Transmission or SabNZBd for Plex to import. A nice interface with recently downloaded shows and movies. You can pause what you are watching on TV and unpause on your phone or another TV. It's wonderful.
When they came out with the DVR feature, I grabbed a Hauppague WinTV card and an Antenna to try it out. It didn't work as well as I expected, but it was beta. The LiveTV would be nice for local news etc, but it was very frustrating when a weak signal would result in an error dialog, and you would have to navigate the interface back to the show you are watching. DVR would record 10 to 20 minutes of a show then quit in my experience. Only certain Plex clients are able to view the LiveTV or DVR programs. The Android app can, but not the Kodi plugin.
I hope they get it sorted out so it's a useable experience.
In January, the city filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against Purdue Pharma alleging the drug maker "supplied OxyContin to obviously suspicious physicians and pharmacies," ultimately failing "to prevent the illegal diversion of OxyContin into the black market."
While other suits against the company by states and municipalities have accused Purdue Pharma of deceptive marketing â" allegedly playing up OxyContin's effectiveness while playing down its addictiveness â" Everett's lawsuit is the first to claim the company knew its drugs were being diverted and did nothing to stop it.
Yes, others mentioned that... I haven't used it since my 5 digit UIN was stolen from me. Back when they only allowed 8 character passwords, with no options whatsoever for recovery.
I hate you Mirabilis ICQ.

This latest attempt by the previous Conservative government, they spent $2 billion on IBM software that IBM said wouldn't work when they began. Now the whole thing is being thrown in the trash and they are starting over.

Saskatchewan gave up, and decided to buy Hydroelectric power from its neighbour instead. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada...

I wonder how this trade war will end, given that the US borrows a trillion dollars a year from China and others every year just to function.
And incase Murricans haven't figured it out yet: tarrifs are taxes.
Yay Trump! More taxes!

I come here to read angry Americans telling other angry Americans how stupid they are
It's self evident at this point.
You act like someone lost $20,000 building this drone.. No, no, no.. Someone made $19,600 building this $400 drone.

If you take the phone away during adult tv time, then adult tv time is over.
Chromecast seconded.

This predates electric cars. Isn't it more likely a result of us outsourcing manufacturing?
Cut the cord all the way.
I did.

If he was involved in that typewriter holdover, there should be a large monetary fine at the very least.
