As someone who has briefly worked at a call center, something like Duplex calling me would be preferable to the average person.

You should come to Europe and see the completely shitty ZTE and Huawei CPEs carriers foist upon their users.

How nice that a subjective opinion not agreeing with the zeitgeist is grey. Fwiw I agree with the parent, the SNES was the last Nintendo console that I liked, the PSX for a brief time and then Doom and especially multiplayer Quake finally p

This "thought experiment" has nothing to with the case at hand i.e. selling counterfeit recovery disks with identical labels and marking for profit.

Well, it was a commercial, for profit enterprise.

Huawei's equipment is almost too cheap to be able to ignore it. Here in Europe most telecommunication equipment (DSL, GPON, LTE radios, CPEs etc) installed in the past 5 years comes from Huawei and ZTE. I don't know whether Huawei

Firefox on Android last time I tried it had completely fucked up scrolling physics, the scroll had too much inertia on acceleration and fast flings did not result in the expected scroll speed. Also, as a left handed person I just couldn&#x2

This whole concerted barrage of negative stories about Facebook seems more like the states trying to craft a specific narrative and influence the populace so they can censor the Internet.

Since it doesn't rely on the panel trying to block a very bright backlight, yes.

Yes, though it still improves on the many problems of IPS and VA LCD technologies.

LG OLED is not true color OLED, but a hack, having a white OLED emitting panel and a color filter on top. It has many downsides like lower efficiency, maximum brightness and color accuracy.

Obviously the state is exempt from such nonsense.

It's too late for Europe. Open a VDSL FTTC cabinet or look at CPE and OLTs and ONTs and it's all Huawei/ZTE crap.

True. Here in Europe in general, Lyft is uknown, but, at least here in Greece, everyone sings the praises of Uber, in comparison to the terrible service normal taxis provide. HN is not only a regional but also an ideological bubble, and it

Not really, it's not. It's a popularity contest in what should be a contest of crews and vehicles.

In Germany (and in the EU on general, after TIR was abolished and national laws harmonized), companies that provide transportation services (not specifically moving) do need special licensing, the drivers are licensed not only for operating
