Even in most first world countries the police won't help for the theft of an item of small value like a bag or even a bike.

OK for vanilla, however most of the fruit artificial flavors are compound that have nothing to do with the elements from the natural fruit but at some point, someone in the food industry decided it tasted "similar" to the natural

The only times were cops were useful to me was to fill a theft report that I needed for an insurance claim.

This is why I like it when streaming services release one episode every week instead of dropping the whole season in one shot.

Depends on the tool, but the first thing to do is to use a plan mode where the AI will ask you follow up question to precise the project. This gives a much, much better result than just have the AI start to work with a few lines of prompt.

Taxes are not really an issue because of the services you get out of it: free healthcare, free education for your kids, etc. But yes, salary before taxes is much lower than in the US. If your goal is to make as much money as possible, eithe

Chinese phones have great hardware at great prices, unfortunately they suck at software. So unless you want to spend the time and effort to switch to and work with the quirks of LineageOS or similar, you get an overall worse experience.

I don't know how it works at Google, but unless they're giving away Pixel phones for free to their employees (or at a very, very strong discount), they have no business forcing their employees to use their products. Here is how a

It's getting to French teens unfortunately. They'll make fun of the kid who has a Galaxy S24 while proudly showing off their aging iPhone 12...

I see poor looking people with iPhones all the time. People do stretch their budget when they really feel the need for it (and the poorest you are the more you'll want to prove you're not poor by buying a status symbol), also the

When they sell them in China, yes. But the same manufacturers sell Android phones with Play services in Europe, Japan, India, Indonesia, etc.

That's because the frog has low switching costs from the pot to the outside world.

This market still exists and is pretty strong, especially outside of US. It's all on Android so Google doesn't need to try to compete here. This is why with Pixel they're focusing on competing with the iPhone, they want peopl

From what I read it's the same thing as the etched screen of the Steam Deck which is not a coating either. Again, Apple didn't invent anything.

To be fair they always come up with pretty marketing names :) It's not high dpi, it's a retina display! It's not a matte display, it's a nano texture!

I guess they do, but if you bring them to your local recycling center they'll probably won't get much for it. Which sucks, because that means even for recycling responsibly you're again tied to Apple.

Honestly, with a phone as easy to repair as Fairphone I don't really care that repair shops won't repair them. All I need to to be able to order a part.

Yes it is. One thing important to take into account in the life of a device is what happens when it's thrown out. A friend of mine works at an electronics recycling facility, and with regular desktop or laptop they're able to take

Probably not many, the iPhone only has a 35% market share in the Netherlands. The Fairphone 6 is a pretty good phone.

by eloisant 9mo ago
I've read that the Fairphone 6 is more like a "regular" phone than the previous one, because it has a standard phone chip (Snapdragon) instead of an IoT one. They did that to get longer software support from Qualcomm, but now

I'm happy that worked out for you, but the whole cryptography signature of Apple batteries that throttle your phone if you get the wrong one is VERY different from "just pop out the back and get your new battery in".

Yes, during the 2000's there was the "mashup" fads. People creating companies around mashing data from one service to another. Like putting Craigslist listings on a Google Map. And guess what, all those mashup companies didn&

I can hear the argument that the Chinese government serves their people better than the US gov. Not necessarily agree with it but it's worth discussing. However I don't know by what definition of democracy a country with a unique

That reminds me of the time where 3GL languages arrived and bosses claimed they no longer needed developers, because anyone could write code in those English-like languages. Then when mouse-based tools like Visual Basic arrived, same story,

You can definitely use AI for non-trivial tasks. It's not just about better prompting, but using better tools. Tools that will turn a bad prompt into a good prompt. For example there is the plan mode for Cursor. Or just ask the AI: &qu

People who don't live in France may not know why low emission zones are so stupid: it's not about how much pollution your car emits, but how old it is. So you're not allowed to bring a 20 years old car even if it's small

He's mixing US/UK vs France and 1985 vs 2025. Today, Citroen's equivalent offering is the Berlingo. Starts at 26k, not as much of a tank as the other cars but still way more massive than the C15.
