Both Chrome and Firefox are working on native iOS versions in preperation for the expected opening up of iOS this year so would imagine they can just fork that and release their version.

Ah sorry yes, that ones likely the one they've been contracted by NASA for the moon landing, or it's a prototype for the in-orbit refuling.

Eh? It's litterally designed to ferry people back and fourth from mars. Just because it can also launch satellites it doesn't stop it being an interplanetary vehicle.

Upper stage has more control ability than the falcon 9. The belly flop testing proved this. They'll be able to bring it down for a controlled soft touchdown in the ocean.

Correct, guessing OP's never used it. A good example: In 2015 I bought a tiny little Toyota Aygo (UK). It came with "Mirrorlink", it was the first car I'd ever owned that had a fancy touch screen, and it was advertised a

GM are seriously deluded if they think they can get anywhere near those figures. We all know how crappy their software will be, and why on earth would they think anyone will be stupid enough to pay a subscription for it when its free on eve

Car manufacturers have proven they have zero ability to make any kind of in car entertainment system with software that isn't a giant pile of crap, a pile of crap which they abandon and never update. GM is committing suicide here, what

Even if you avoid it their trackers are on so many sites that its very hard to not have them collect data on you. Even after opting out I doubt they can actually follow through and not know anything about you.

Are you expecting a salary similar to the one you were getting at a FAANG though? Because that seems to be the main issue - FAANG people thinking they're worth way more than they actually are.

It was one of Bob Chapek's visions, so as expected was extremely half arsed. He had very little concept of what Disney should be doing so just thew out a bunch of ideas with very little budget and expected them to work, whilst also pen

Given unreal is owned by their biggest competitor theres little to no chance of that happeng. Valve arent really a video game developer anymore, they just tinker on the side for fun.

It's always somewhat baffled me that Valve didn't do more with the CS brand, and instead allowed Call of Duty and (to a lesser extent) Battlefield to be the go-to FPS games.

Ok so I got access to it....and its bad. Really, really bad. I think Siri could likely give better responses than this half arsed pile of junk. For most things it just replies with "As a language model, I'm not able to assist you

As hhh already said, it was free for a long time. In addition it costs a fortune to run their models. They've mentioned as much on twitter a few times now. Their compute is provided by Microsoft and they've got investors but even

OpenAI was likely running it at significant loss, that's just not sustainable when they're already making huge losses on every single api call.

Not everyone wants to use Android. I for one find it a buggy inconsistent mess of an OS and have no desire to have to screw around to make my phone work well. Not to mention the Google Play app store sucks hard. So much complete junk someho

Linkedin is a bit weird. They'll sometimes let you in, but other times force you to login. It's not even A/B testing, they've been at it for years. It does make it way easier to just not bother using their crummy site th

TikTok's highly unlikely to get banned, and if it was then 10 new replacements would pop up overnight. Facebook isn't anything like TikTok and likely never could be. Instagram might get close but even then its not the same thing.

IIRC a lot of the issues with competitors and battery life are an issue for Windows, and not their hardware. As long as Windows remains a hunk of junk they can't get close to Mac battery life levels without you having to cart around a

The fact that this all had to be explained is exactly why it'll never catch on. The average user does not give a crap about decentralised stuff, nor all the terminology surrounding it. It's the same reason mastedon had a huge surg
