Your post is only partially correct. Even with completely open firmware, or at least a documented interface, the biggest roadblock would become be abysmal state of OSS digital image processing. Engineers at major smartphone and camera compa

The world is ready, perhaps too ready, to solve their problems with a pill. The real question is, is the world ready for fixing our lifestyles instead of searching for a panacea of pills?

I already told you this is not what I asked. Your replies are all over the place and I sincerely am not understanding them. [EDIT] wow, you edited your whole long form reply and just replaced it with "I'm not a bot"? That&#x2

You told me human endeavors in which "diversity" (which again, means nothing) fosters innovation. But that wasn't my question. I asked what kind of diversity fosters innovation, not what kind of innovation is fostered by

Didn't know skin pigment contributed to innovation. "Diversity" is empty HR speak, please specify which kind of diversity fosters innovation.

Problem is: they can't watch movies in their browser because they can only leech from people who are seeding from a webtorrent client. Let's say I have a movie I want to let other people stream with their browser. I am obligated t

Still no support for webtorrents, making it impossible to use it for helping to lighten the load of my favorite peertube VODs :(

A) group 1 gets an omnivore diet, group 2 gets the same diet but substitutes all the meat with "meat replacements" B) group 1 gets an omnivore diet, group 2 gets a vegan diet those are two different experiments

That's not what the abstract says. They're specifically talking about foods which are claimed to be meat replacements. If you have an all-encompassing and well varied vegan diet then this study doesn't really say anything abo

You should make noise because, unless you signed some particular contract, the code is your intellectual property and it's illegal to just take it away from you. I bought Stadia and read the contract, I was under no illusion that I cou

How is the presence of an antenna in any way demonstrative of the general purpose computing capabilities of the N900 as opposed to "not pocketable PC" Androids? I believe that if I were to attach a USB radio module to my phone I c

Your reply is baffling. First you say that with "android" (as if they made hardware) you can't have an integrated keyboard. Then you say that Android phones with a full integrated keyboard actually exist. But then you move th

What is stopping you from adapting AOSP to have better keyboard integration? Android has been modified before to adapt to folding screens, tablets and multiple screens.

Was my post confusing? Nothing you've written can't be done with an Android phone with a keyboard attachment. When is this super important general purpose computing thingy supposed to come into play?
