    Facebook advertising is big in India. I'm sure the government can fuck that up pretty well if they don't comply.

    Graphic apps run. Someone even managed to get the Ubuntu Unity DWM to run.

    Headphone port has jack shit to do with waterproofing.

    >they'd most likely include a lightening port to 3.5mm dongle

    No they won't! This is Apple. You'll pay 39.99 and buy it separately.

  5. Isn't judicial recourse a right that cannot be taken away by random contracts? This is the same as signing a contract saying you will be killed and you waive your family's rights to sue me. Null and void.

  6. All I have to say is: fuck Gawker. Every person working at that place should be left penniless. I have become a great fan of Peter Thiel.

    Current gen is 14 or 10 nm, depending on if you are talking about memory or compute. 7 nm is still not ready.

    They're not inferior if they dominate.

    Because they are Indian.

  11. Re:Good on Them on Apple Not Allowed To Open Stores In India (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    And Apple already has their products sold by third party retailers. This whole condition is only if it wants to open an exclusive apple store. Also, your apples analogy won't work because apples are much cheaper than the iShit Apple is peddling. No way they can account for 30% of the value of goods. Also, you must understand that Indian government is not that big of an idiot. Apple must comply with the spirit of the law, not just the letter.

    Unless the incense is priced similar to the iShit devices, this won't work.

    No they don't. There is not a single apple store in India. All are third party retailers selling iCrap. Often the same store will sell you non-apple crap too. Compare that to the thousands of Samsung Stores and Sony Worlds, selling crap only from their brand. That's because Sony's TVs and Samsungs latest flagships all have the mark "Manufactured in India" on them.

  15. Re:what about telemetry? on Google Assistant and Google Home: Amazon Echo, But From Google (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    You can use a network analyser to see for yourself.

    How? Correlation using time alone is useless. It can store up a few hours of conversations and then send it back only when you trigger the 'hello command'. People will see a spike on the network analyzer and assume that it sends voices only when given a command.

    Out of the list in the summary, the following are scifi:

    1. Binti - looks like a run-of-the-mill war/coming-of-age story that is coincidentally set in space/galaxy. Not interested.
    2. Our lady of the open road - definitely scifi, interesting premise. Will check this out, but not very excited.
    3. Hungry daughters of starving mothers - this is neither scifi nor fantasy. A description found on the web: "It’s about terrible eating habits, generational isolation, & finding love in the big city." *snore*
    4. Mad Max: Fury Road - Ummm...is this a fucking joke?
    5. Updraft: looks like a nice fantasy story.

    So have we no author remaining who writes hard scifi that is exciting and futuristic? Is this what we have been reduced to?

  18. Same here in Chrome.

    I hate these fucking system administrators removing anything they please. Fuck them. Why the fuck would you remove an app store? Are you fucking nuts? Better hand out fucking chromebooks to users if you do not want them to be able to use their laptops.

  21. Re:When I carry old printed maps... on What Happened to Google Maps? (justinobeirne.com) · · Score: 1

    I feel that paper maps are much better for developing a "feel" of the area/route. After looking at a paper map and tracing my intended route carefully, I am able to navigate by myself, more-or-less. But when I use navigation on a cellphone screen, I kinda just give up and do what the computer says because I just cannot see enough detail at once to really grok the geography. It may just be a problem with me ofc.

  24. But that's the whole point. No nasty stuff can happen because every program is sandboxed.

  25. Also, it seems ubuntu needs to restart after every batch of updates nowadays. I thought this was only a problem with windows.
