My iPhone (SE, 2nd gen) is used with reckless abandon in the bath and shower. I’ve dropped it in a river, even. (Very lucky it didn’t sink before I could grab it.) I have had the battery replaced under warranty without issue.

There are a few of these and Goldberg is my preferred method. Most games that enforce a check beyond this default are also trivially bypassed with another application that simply rips the validation out in the first place. There are also qu

I got way in to Meshtastic when I was doing some group backwoods camping in national parks. Satellite was really the only other option at the time for long range, highly reliable communication and is so expensive! I got some t-beams and was

To be fair, this is not a Firefox issue. Unless you use Edge on Windows you still have the same limitation (or the windows store Netflix app).

More than one thing can be true at the same time. Deals are usually made because interests are aligned. There is a direct benefit to an overwhelmingly dominant player to be able to point to any competitor. There is also a direct benefit to

The goal is obvious and not new. Firefox as a product is only useful to them as a handout from google to use as an antitrust defense. The problem is that Mozilla hasn’t been able to find any product that generates any meaningful revenue.

I think the speed isn’t where the focus matters. Obviously speed is a factor in severity and a driver who is bombing down the highway is probably more dangerous than your average bear, but safe follow distance is the thing people just overw

You can argue the should but I very much doubt that it would. We are very happy to let other countries do the dirty work of manufacturing and import the product, and the places that are most likely to manufacture are the least likely to ou

I would say it is likely that importing it would be the most cost-effective option, so it’ll still be used heavily. I imagine it’ll only fall heavily in usage if its manufacturing is outlawed in the places where importing it from would be c

What is the point of asking what the point of someone’s comment is because it seems fanciful and impractical? Good grief. They’re not hurting anyone. Also there are a lot of things people could say “You know what you’re describing is never

They won’t agree and would file suit but legally this isn’t a highly tested area. The closest we get is Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. v. Connectix Corp. as far as I’m aware and that can be seen as more of a win for the reverse engineeri

I live in a small town in Washington and this change recently took place. Until this article I had no idea it was part of a broader shift. For our local post office it hasn’t had an impact on the mail itself, but they’re a lot busier handli

I think they could absolutely make it work as a single company. The hurdle is proving the technology actually works and manufacturing it. If they can actually produce the product they claim, I don’t think failing to break in to the market w

The question of why they would use ads is answered literally in the statement about it. You can disagree with it, but it is already explained and isn't a surprising answer.
