ozymandias117,

pack our plans with value and build out the industry’s best 5G network

I’ve generally needed to disable 5G on their network because it was slower than LTE. 5G has only been useful in places they didn’t have coverage before in my experience

ozymandias117,

Buy it for life

ozymandias117,

Huh?

32-bit ARM and x86 were both from 1985…

It did take ARM a lot longer to make 64-bit work

ozymandias117,

What’s up?

ozymandias117,

Most companies group MENA separately. They must sell so few devices there that they don’t want to show the numbers separately

ozymandias117,

I can’t speak for Apple, but every company I’ve worked for has split their region reporting as soon as one of the traditionally smaller regions gets big enough

It creates hype and a boost to their stock price

ozymandias117,

Sanspants is a pretty good coop, too

ozymandias117,

If it used to be a valid website, and is now a scam, that’s a mole worth whacking - even if they’ll try again with a previously unknown url

ozymandias117,

It’s ubiquitous because it was added for free to Office 365, so companies would use it instead of its competitors

Microsoft changed that for new customers a couple weeks ago and it’s now a separate subscription

The standard make it free until it’s ubiquitous then start charging for it

ozymandias117,

The push towards large vehicles was due to the fact that they used a truck chassis, and were exempt from safety and emissions requirements of a “car”

ozymandias117,

The one they use at my work is extra silly, as it adds an extra email header saying it’s coming from a phishing campaign

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

ozymandias117,

As bad as Epic is, probably worse…

Even though Bandcamp was profitable the new CEO said this after buying it

the financial state of Bandcamp has not been healthy

So they’re probably looking for any way to cut costs. They fired half of the staff on day 1, including anyone who tried to unionize

ozymandias117,

fast.com is pretty good, too. No nonsense, and run by a company renowned for server throughput optimization, so it should rarely be on their end if it’s a slow result

ozymandias117,

If it increases in pressure every time, I’m now curious how many times you need to close the trunk to cut a finger off

ozymandias117,

Is anyone familiar with what they define as “exercising their freedom of expression”?

With the total number of people imprisoned globally for exercising their freedom of expression estimated to be at least 339

339 globally sounds extremely low to me

ozymandias117,

The quote of “removing RISC-V from generic kernel images” makes a lot of sense

It only kind of works on arm64 right now, trying to add a whole new ISA seems rushed

If they make exceptions for customized kernels for other architectures for now, that seems fine

ozymandias117,

They made so much more that they can afford to keep spending their lawyers time on it

All three major carriers vowed to appeal the fines after they were announced today

ozymandias117,

It’s been known for a long time that they cheat on benchmarks

anandtech.com/…/state-of-cheating-in-android-benc…

They specifically detect benchmarking tools and run at a frequency they can’t maintain for the length of the benchmark

ozymandias117,

Gnome and KDE had this feature LONG before Microsoft, so they have prior art to prove it’s an invalid patent

ozymandias117,

Yeah, I meant it’s unlikely Microsoft would try to sue Gnome or KDE for it, because they’d likely lose the patent

ozymandias117,

I believe you’re thinking of trademarks

ozymandias117,

As long as they’re happy, it’s perfect

ozymandias117,

Are the on-device pinyin keyboards unusably bad at typing?

I know it’s complex to get the right meaning with the English alphabet, but I’m surprised at cloud-based keyboards

ozymandias117,

“Generic system images”

Since device manufacturers don’t support their hardware, Google has tried adding another layer of abstraction between hardware and the Android UI

ozymandias117,

I didn’t after breaking it and rebooting

I restored the snapshot from before breaking the system and tried to see what would happen if I didn’t just reboot after apt bailed out
