But is not Russian, just like Instagram is not Chinese.
But is not Russian, just like Instagram is not Chinese.
The reference to Minority Report is right in the subtitle:
The social media app might get hit with a federal lawsuit before its ban officially begins as the FTC has issued a warning for possible future crimes.
and apparently the FTC statement includes these words:
violating or are about to violate the law.
I mean, I also don’t really like TikTok and have a hard time picturing an adult using it as well, but that doesn’t mean it should be held accountable for “future crimes”. At least, that’s what the article is claiming…
Ok, so, no official support for Windows 10, but can you still install and run Windows 10 and renouce whatever “support” or will it just not work?
I agree with the sentiment, but I think the article meant “service” in a more general way. For example, developing software for sale, to be used offline and/or on device rather than cloud, can also be considered a service.
When I saw “Copilot Recall” I initially thought they recalled Copilot … one can dream
The guide is suggesting to install microG, an open source reimplementation of Google services that even many “degooglers” use.
While that might be true, it doesn’t look like The Verge was sponsored by any specific ebike company to write this article, since they never mention any specific brand.
Edit: actually after scrolling down enough, they did interview people from some ebike company. Still doesn’t look (too) sponsored
Maybe I should’ve specified that it was unlocked via the official “OEM Unlock” switch provided by Samsung. Yes, there are Samsung phones that can be unlocked, though you’re right, many cannot be (usually US versions).
Yes, and up to not long ago, also completely different hardware (exynos vs snapdragon). US samsung devices usually cannot be bootloader unlocked. Rest of the world usually can. No idea why.
I’m writing this from a samsung with unlocked bootloader.
That would require me to buy an iPhone which I won’t do for many many reasons… but ok, maybe Apple Maps is a decent competitor nowadays, good to know.
Yes, I also use and highly recommend OsmAnd, great for offline maps, outdoor activities and lots of stuff… but no traffic data.
Google Maps, their traffic data has no rivals, unlike gmail which has plenty of good competition. It’s the one thing I couldn’t easily replace yet.
The real numbers we need to see are watts per volume, or watts per mass
You have to chase it down, following the link to electrek.co, but then it says: “the prototype cells house an energy density of 720 Wh/kg”
(of course, I’m just stating what is claimed, no idea how true)
The first one was a genuine bug, the second a malicions backdoor. The only common thing is they are both open source projects. I agree with having more oversight and funding on critical open source software, but suggesting that these two vulnerabilities are the same in some way is a bit of a stretch.
While Google is hardly privacy-respecting and ad-free, I guess the fact it can be more easily customized is a plus, maybe I should consider it for the future. After all, that’s the same reason I stick with Android.
Can GoogleTV be rooted like android can, preferably without resorting to hacks, like in some android phones where the bootloader is unlockable?
I mean, yeah sure, but are the alternatives that much better in this respect? Which alternative non-ad-ridden, privacy-respecting smart tv would you recommend (or ended up buying)? Asking for my future tv choice…
“security” for themselves, not the customer, I guess
Yeah, misleading headline. They’re talking about the linux desktop, and based just on browser stats. Marked share of linux as a whole, including all datacenters, servers, cloud infrastructure, and heck, throw in IOT devices, android, routers, etc, I’m pretty sure it’s the dominant OS already.
McAfee is not Russan, just like Instagram is not Chinese (I thought it was clear enough).
Yes it’s a clear reference to TikTok, which I don’t like for many many reasons, but none of those reasons is why it was banned, it’s because it’s Chinese.
