I agree. I'm not sure why anyone thought that these companies would be okay with someone releasing an unofficial title in their flagship franchise, AI created or not. It seems like the news outlet is running this as…
If the goal is to replace US technology, replacing it with Canadian technology does, in fact, accomplish that goal.
Regarding labels on the keyboard, as someone who came from systems where "backspace" meant backward delete and "delete" meant forward delete, I find the icon to be less confusing than labeling backspace as "delete".
iOS is 93%+ in several countries, including Bahamas and Bermuda. I assume there are also some countries where Android is 90%+.
There are entire countries where one company has 93%+ marketshare. Yes, maybe people can go to another country where the marketshare is different, but do we all seriously think that the global marketshare not resembling…
I'm not defending anybody. I'm just saying, if I live in a market where one company has 99% of the market, somebody coming in and saying "There's not a monopoly. They only have 30% of the global market! " isn't going to…
Why would I use the global market share to determine if someone has a monopoly, though? It seems like a flawed way to determine how much choice consumers have. For example, there's a monopoly on garbage service where I…
I found the input latency to be much worse than the PC connected to the same TV, for whatever reason. I thought I surely was imagining it, so I revisited it 6 months or a year later, and, yes, the input latency from the…
It depends on what you're looking for exactly. Some models of FireTV cube have pretty beefy processors and can handle some things the Shield can't, like Dolby Vision FEL.
My Apple TVs have not been set and forget. Apple's aggressive storage saving makes it so that it resets storage for, I get logged out of, apps that I don't use frequently. It'll also randomly need a reboot to solve the…
> If you ban an e-mail address, creating a new one is trivial. For many people, getting a new CPU is pretty trivial too. They might as well just offer the option to pay a fee to get unbanned at that point. It would…
I'm confused about the read on this too. It reads like a "I don't want the government involved in my healthcare" type of statement, but it's posted in the discussion section of an article about private companies…
> Verbatim, who owns M-Disc, doesn't even manufacture discs anymore. They just slap their brand on other peoples discs. They're owned by one of the other disc manufacturers (CMC Magnetics), so I think they're…
I agree with all of this, but I also feel like it describes nearly every other big tech company over the same time period.
Colleges with key punches? Probably pretty close to zero. My point was more that, I think it's incorrect to assert that it's necessary for kids to directly use a computer in order to effectively learn about them. We…
I think that can be done without having them sit in front of a computer or even really using a computer, though. Lots of kids have stories about wandering over to a college campus when they were in middle school,…
They should probably explain that, though, since right now they've simply got a link to the website that's hawking the current version.
It's limited to "younger students", and keeping younger students away from computers also isn't a bad idea IMO.
> Google may just be getting ready to follow suit. That may well be, but it's a regression for the time being, since Advanced Protection mode presumably no longer uses MTE (or a replacement for MTE), whereas it did on…
AFAIK the other Pixel devices, going back to the 8, do use MTE in the stock OS. Some MTE features are only enabled when "Advanced Protection" is turned on in the OS settings, but the stock OS on those devices does make…
Unfortunately, the headline is somewhat optimistic compared to the reality, I think. The thread makes it sound like it could have been disabled due to errata or performance issues. Basically, it looks like the software…
Is 2010 when people started to like it? I remember, in 2008, being in a computer science course at university when Chrome launched. It was not liked at that time, at least within the computer users I knew. I remember it…
> not clear at all if there will ever be cheap Motorolas They've indicated that support will eventually be added for midrange Motorola devices, which I believe are historically price-competitive with the a-series Pixels.
> Well the current Motorola Signature (2026) is 3 times the price of a Pixel. I understand the sentiment, certainly, but the price difference depends a lot on which model we're comparing to. The Signature will be the…
