Looks like the usual fad that never will never pass the reality check. It could have been great for them to work on something like smart glasses, a competitor to Meta one with AI. Or a nice AI super-smart watch.

Emailing Tim is like pissing in the wind... Vote and impact them with your money. Just don't buy their stuff. Buying refurb is not much better, because it still raise the value of their products and brand by showing that devices have a

As said by others, first it will be hard to find smartphones without that, especially if it is a requirement to be android certified and be allowed to have the play store running. But, the biggest trap that we can easily expect is that a lo

However, if you prefer not to, we are also introducing a free developer account type that will allow teachers, students, and hobbyists to distribute apps to a limited number of devices without needing to provide a government ID. So

I'm so conflicted about Meta, because at the same time I despise the company, Facebook, and their business activity, so I would not mind seeing them going down. But, on the other side, I think that it is one of the nicest one of the bi

Isn't it an editor, an app store or the FSF that would start an antitrust litigation against Google? I would easily do a donation to a fund to do that. In my opinion, Google is doing that to keep control as there is now the European re

Looking at the title of this post, when you do PR reviews, you are "reverse engineers"... This question set aside, I'm not fan at all of this blog post content, might be me being too stupid, but I don't think that it is

No, because so far you "engineered" nothing. You just studied it, tried to understand it, and explain or teach it. If you had reverse engineered it, you would have tried to "recreate something" that does not exist to do

If you used this package, you would still have been victim of this despite your setup. All your password reset or anything sent by your app BCC to the bad guy.

My best guess would be "slim" as the flx1 is quite bulky and looking at the spec, this one is a little bit less large but suite thinner.

I think that the customer base of AMD cpu and GPU is exploding thanks to their goodwill to work and provide what is needed for linux and open source drivers, so I don't see why they would reduce their effort when it so easily yield so

What is fun is that AI was supposed to make human work obsolete and now we have to work more... But pun aside, it is quite curious that progress should allow us to have a better life while working less, and still, despite technical improvem

The current world is so crazy that I would easily bet that it is strange that a small country like Denmark is so obsessed about running all European privacy, and there might be hidden corrupt interest behind that. I would but be surprised t
