Definitely. Android has tiers, from flagship down.

You can get an Android that surpasses any iPhone in specs and price no problem.

So you get carte blanche to be insufferable because you consider yourself to be a holier than thou messenger with self-assigned credentials?

Complaining about downvotes is a sure fire way to get more downvotes.

But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the information you’re presenting, so much as the way you’re presenting it.

There’s tons of emotion around news and facts these days and people just want it cut straight without the fat. Don’t tell us how to feel, or why we should feel that way, tell us what the facts are and we’re grown ups, we’ll put our big people clothes on and make up how we feel about it on our own.

Any emotion you put into it is likely to undo any good points you may have made. There’s a time for that, this isn’t it.

It’s basically just their Outlook web app. It offers no extra function, and breaks a LOT of old functionality.

There’s a registry key to turn off the button.

This is for the Netherlands, but it’s about the anti-piracy group not allowing defeats in court on the basis of GDPR and ISP refusal get in the way of a good harassment.

Good read if you want higher blood pressure.

There’s so much we don’t know about the brain, I can’t see implants being anywhere close to a success until the brain is significantly better understood

They were already making their own ARM processors in their phones/tablets/watches and even implemented in some of their pro line of laptops as a security processor. The evolution to make their own computer processors seemed inevitable, especially considering Intel’s products were failing to meet battery and thermal wants from Apple.

It felt exciting for people who pay attention to tech, but it was no more exciting than their prior switch from PowerPC procs to Intel, or from third party ARM in iPhones to their own procs.

It’s still very on brand for Tim Cook as well it allows the company to control even more of the design and manufacturing, which stabilizes their supply flow.

The company also had prior experience with the aforementioned PPC to x86 move and their Rosetta translation layer, which they implemented this time around with Rosetta 2 to great success as well, making most things run near native during the devs switch for their binaries.

I think this could have been smelled in the water for a long while. Tim Cook was trusted to steer the rudder but his specialty is supply chain management, and I don’t think anyone can say he’s done a bad job.

But. On the R&D side I don’t think people could say he’s done a great job.

The ideas have dried up. When you go “safe” at CEO you make money, but you limit your ceiling, which, once again, with Apple is already breaking the mold.

Consumer electronics is saturated. There is little to no breakthrough there anymore.

Evolution is outside that, but outside that might not be in Tim Cook or Apple’s executive suite’s realm anymore.

Slides from 20 years ago.

This is news, yes, especially considering that Apple made a deal with the devil considering its new self-reported bloom as privacy focused.

But news headlines are acting like Apple just said this today, and that is complete headline bait.

Definitely.

If you’re running Radarr in a docker I’ve found that certain things can get reset on docker restart as well. You could try pulling a different Radarr image.

That’s not how this works at all.

There are plenty of ways to deal with this, and issue a death penalty to the corporation while not punishing the workers:

  • Forced turnover of executives and board members (with jail time and high % fines), corporate watchdog for x amount of years

  • Dissolve the mega-corp into smaller corporations, and/or force all subsidiaries into a planned disengagement from parent company

  • Bail-out in the form of state ownership by government buying majority stake

In any of the above, or even in a complete mega-corp dissolution the demand doesn’t disappear. If you want to have the argument that these “oh so wonderful stewards of business” are the reason people have jobs in the first place, you can’t ignore that demand is the reason those very same executives have jobs too.

If they tear it down, someone will build something else to replace it.
