You can pop a tmobile SIM in the phone and they partially work, but Google Fi requires hardware support in the radio to work fully It's not that they're blocking iOS, but more that iPhones don't support the network.

Progressive islands in conservative states are almost worse They just get diced up and have no voice in state or federal government, and you end up with things like the NC and Texas bathroom bills. Why would a company like Amazon move to a

I completely agree with that generalization The people who want to work for Amazon wouldn't like living in Utah, and the people living in Utah wouldn't like the people who work for Amazon I've been in tech in Southern Utah fo

As a generalization, the people who want to work for Amazon tend to be more on the progressive wing, and an HQ in a heavily conservative region would make it harder to hire talent. I would guess places like Denver/Boulder (where Google

They're not cutting out "peaceful" people, they're cutting out “activities that promote hate, violence or racial intolerance” which are inherently neither peaceful nor civil.

I've completely given up on trying to stream movies I also completely refuse to buy physical media too, so the end result is that I basically never watch movies at home any more unless I go to the effort of torrenting it

I'd drop 90% of the crap Amazon is shoveling under the Prime umbrella if I got 2 day shipping at a lower rate and didn't have to subsidize all their media ventures. When they inevitably raise rates again I might actually have to r

For starters, packages should probably be considered non-transferable. If someone buys a package, they shouldn't keep the existing rankings and ratings. It would be challenging to be proactive about it, but it was be a clear solution w

Kite basically just invented a new spyware/malware industry that specifically targets the development community. This kind of behavior needs to be stomped on hard and fast.

Seriously. Sublime, Atom, VSCode, and every other platform that supports plugins should all be in crisis mode over the crap Kite's been caught doing. If we can't trust that an addon we installed yesterday is safe today, their plat

If an addon maintainer was successfully bribed to add something like this to their addon, that maintainer should probably be banned from the ecosystem along with everything Kite touches. Kite is the primary corrupting force here, but the pe

Kite is plainly a bad actor. Sublime and GitHub/Atom should be taking steps to permanently remove them and the things they're infecting from their respective ecosystems We now know of 3 different popular addons they've hijack

Buying a popular addon with the express purpose of subverting its original intent for commercial monetization seems like it should be against Atom's TOS This instance is razor thin close to being malware What's to stop the next en

Yeah, we had an all hands meeting where they explained that this was the reason. We're small, and money is tight, so saving a couple hundred thousand dollars a year is a lot of motivation for people to track their time accurately. We&#
