Why would Microsoft behave any differently to this new API when they have not officially supported previous open attempts? Adding another standard to the mix just seems to be compounding the problem to me.
Its not running x86 like the PS4 and XBone that's for sure. Its apparently running a Tegra chip[1]. Exact specs... well we can only guess at this point. So its more similar to an Android tablet than the other consoles.…
Something cool for BBC Micro fans. The Pi is being used to emulate a co-processor communicates via an interface available on the BBC Micro called "Tube". For more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_(BBC_Micro)
Android 6 introduced individual permission prompts when they are needed.
It's also much bulkier than the watch and has no screen. It has a lot less to deal with and they can carefully control what apps it's running since the user has no input.
They state in the Kickstarter that the Core runs Android. So basically it runs the Spotify android app. Chances are that support could be added easily for other apps.
I agree, every Android Wear watch I've seen has the same issues of lag, screen time-out time and battery life. They feel like they're trying to be something that can't exist yet because of power limitations, whereas the…
And here I just bought a Pebble Time. Guess I know why it seemed so cheap. Hopefully this won't fragment the app marketplace and it will maintain universal app coverage across all the Pebble watches. I wonder if it…
There is an option when you turn on Google photo to backup "High Quality" (Unlimited) or "Original" (with limited capacity, I think it uses Google Drive capacity but am not sure)
The companies get to sell the distribution rights more than once. Its more chances to get a good deal for the producers of the content. Then they need to maintain this barrier so that the deal is good for both the…
"I wanted to make a statement about privacy" - Charges $5 to search a "public" database. No. You wanted to make money. Get off your high horse.
I seem to remember seeing a lot of commenters in the iPhoneSE announcement thread saying that they'd completely forgotten that 3DTouch even existed. It may be "smoothly" integrated but so much so that nothing has…
I'm interested in collecting old machines, mainly older British machines like the ZXSpectrum and BBC Micro. I have nowhere near the space required though. Then there's also the question of what would I actually do with…
Definitely think there should be some way of sharing the revenue with devs, especially indie devs. Take "Life Is Strange" for instance. I watched a Let's Play on it and it killed any interest I had in actually playing…
Yes but they won't accidentally pull a malicious version of the tweet pretending to be the original. They'll just stop working
Do you work in the High Energy Magic building of the Unseen University? Giving Hex[1] the keys to summon demons sounds like a bad idea. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_(Discworld)
So I'm a little confused by this. Is he running Fedora as the main boot operating system or something on top of/beside Android (which he can switch to like an app within Android)?
Doesn't the WiFi standard already do this for devices running in the same channel? I.e. if 3 devices are on Channel 1 they will talk to each other to avoid conflicts. Hence why you should only use one of 3 channels (the…
