They just charge for a license fee for Android and then credit back if they include their services. Google has made it so people that can't afford to get an iPhone so they can get a smartphone. They have helped make it so smartphone te

Would not say the Google one is shitty. We started with an echo and it did require more rigid language but the Google home is pretty good. Not perfect but good enough that it provides value. I now use voice a lot because of the quality wit

The best one I have seen is going to start beta testing later this summer. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bd1mEm2Fy08 Google Duplex Demo from Google IO 2018 - YouTube

Well then itemize the things so you can chose what to include with a big credit if you chose all. There is almost 2 billion Android phones sold a year. So just a $1 is a lot of money and then almost all goes to the bottom line. Part of the

This is a problem all over the place with Google. Them giving away VP8 and VP9 for example. SPDY and so many other things. I hate it but they should just charge for things instead of giving away. Act more like a typical tech company. T

But GitLab has an open core and GitHub is closed source.

Might have been true when released but now they do not need to be free any longer. Even a $1 per Android phone would get them almost $2B in revenues that goes almost entirely to the bottom line. Windows on mobile has been gone too long to m

Been using for a bit now and not even turned on my Mac since buying the pixel book. Everything has worked so far. Love being able to use the exact same containers on my laptop I use in the cloud.

Google keeps enhancing Chrome and where do you think http2 came from? Heck Google created SPDY and gave to standards group who changed and then Google went and moved their SPDY to the standard. Heck Google has over 60% of the browser market

Looks like a pretty strong exit from GitHub to GitLab. Just hope most go to a common place which appears it will be GitLab.

Thing is ideally everyone will go to one place which appears to be GitLab.

Little silly. Google should just charge for Android and then credit if ship with their stuff. Problem solved. Really think the EU risks getting a worse result with this type of thing.

It can be. Just move to GitLab and all is good.

by jacksmith21006 8y ago
GitLab has been this fantastic secret and now with MS buying GitHub so many people are coming over worry it will mess it up.

But is it the fault of Google their competitors are weak? Should we now reward creating a better product? You can use whatever search engine you want and Bing is actually two less charcters it just sucks so no one uses. That is not the

Pretty long document and what you read last is what you will remember the most. It is what you are left with. Brains are closer to LIFO than FIFO. It is why it is easier, usually, to remember things that were more recent than longer ago.

Google has created a hardened KVM that it is using. So the GNU/Linux instruction run native on the processor but just sandboxed from the Linux kernel used by ChromeOS. Then they use containers between the GNU/Linux applications.

Wife has a CB+ and loves it. I have a PB as my only issue was the keyboard. I am sensitive to keyboards and the keyboard on the Pixelbooks is the best keyboard I have seen on any laptop. Since getting my PB have not turned in my Mac. I

Google hardened the KVM and what is used. So native instruction execution but sandboxed. Then the gnu/Linux applications run in containers. So do not lose the secure aspect of Chromebooks but get native gnu/Linux.

ChromeOS supports Wayland and the gnu/Linux applications integrate well as they go in the app drawer. It will be better for people new to gnu/Linux as more familiar. This will open up use of gnu/Linux in a big way. Especia

It will be huge. Make gnu/Linux so much more accessible. Exactly what we needed. Plus the high school no longer will need to use Crouton for AP CS 1 and 2. Now they can write Java on machine native and keep all the security. I lov

Been using the new gnu/Linux support on my PB and has been really stable and just love it. My wife does have a CB+ I got her to replace her iPad but she uses to play animal crossing with a stylus more than anything and not into softw

Saying that Google removed "do not be evil" in a employee code of conduct document that we can clearly see is in the document is not a fact? Here is the agreement. The very last statement is "And remember… don’t be evil, and

It should change and suspect quick. The big tech companies will have to move off of GitHub and go somewhere. So either they do it themselves which is a risk or looks like GitLab.

by jacksmith21006 8y ago
Has there been any word yet from the big tech companies like Google, Facebook, and the others on where they will move to? I just hope they do not just do it themselves now. It was so nice basically having one site. The entire software deve

Dislike the word "hate". It is more people that have been in the industry for a long time know what Microsoft has been all about for a very long time. But finally we have a new culture in software. Where big tech give away crazy

Hopefully. The problem is the site has to be neutral. Might end up we just have the big tech companies like Google host their own which sucks but you can't blame them. Right now looks like GitLab will just become the new GitHub. We w

By buying GitHub. Now the big tech companies will have to move to something else and we will have fragmentation. It does look like most will move to GitLab so if it just becomes the new GitHub that would be fine. Just hope we do not end up

Barely even started. Would expect the big guys to move their projects. Finally a single and neutral site and MS messes it up.

This is terrible news. Big guys will have to move code elsewhere. We finally has a single and neutral site and MS destroys it. Swear MS does not want us to have nice stuff.
