The real shame is that the big carmakers have finally redesigned their platforms for EVs, after dragging their feet for a decade and a half on repackaging ICE platforms into EVs, and their new platforms are still not as good as Tesla&#x27

Also, they reserve the right to change this in the future - just like they've always done. FB is pretty good at bait and switch.

Companies act like sheep more often than not. It's why someone like Apple had to come into the market and revolutionize smartphones when everyone else was too busy studying how to best clone Nokia's phones.

We'll probably end up with both like we've had jpg and PNG, at least if more people/organizations call for it.

Meanwhile other countries have constitutional courts that must check if a new bill is constitutional before it becomes a law. I tend to prefer this solution most, considering that Congress have passed unconstitutional or borderline unconsti

I'm not sure this is necessarily a point in Apple and Amazon's favor. Also, as another comment here mentions, the "backing" in the title seems stronger than GCHQ's actual statement.

A universal quantum computer with 20 qubits is kind of like a general purpose 20-core CPU. A 2000-qubir D-WAVE quantum annealing computer is kind of like a 2000 "cores" GPU. It's not a perfect analogy by any means but it shou

It may be quantum-resistant, but it won't be law enforcement-resistant , knowing BlackBerry's track record and public statements on the issue.

802.11ax is 802.11n's true successor and I hope it will be adopted quickly by everyone. 802.11ac for the 5GHz band was a faux successor, in my opinion, as you couldn't use it in the same scenarios. It came with some higher perform

Indeed. Mercedes has already announced that it will "electrify" 300 models over the next decade or so, and I expect at least 280 of those to work exactly as you said, not just for the purpose of exploiting this kind of legislation

Why do most people react to this as this was a gift from Amazon, when in fact it was organized by workers and a demand they won ? If anything this was a concession from Amazon, because Amazon workers were supporting a bill against Amazon,

They won't be. Transitional tech always fails because when people want to switch to a new paradigm product they wanted to to enjoy ALL all its benefits. That's why the "touch optimized" (read: not touch born) Symbian, BB

Japan has fooloshly bet on fuel cells. Not sure because they wanted to be "different" than Tesla like Nokia once thought with Windows Phone, or some other reason. They'll pay the price for that error big time. Toyota actually

And the funny thing is this wouldn't have happened and VW would've likely been one of the bankrupt carmakers in the future if they hadn't been caught cheating on emissions and then forced by both the US government and the pub

Why would it be paranoia? Waking up the CPU faster and maximizing its performance will definitely drain the battery faster. I assume the iOS12 update includes a combination of more aggressive waking and maximizing of performance along with

Fire Musk and the board could also risk a situation similar to Apple's board firing Steve Jobs. Musk is taking too many chances with too many things, often unnecessarily, but without him Tesla could be trampled by the big carmakers in

Facebook is already in decline (people have stopped using it, either completely or drastically reduced their usage of it). The problem is Facebook is allowed to buy rising competitors on its way down, thus prolonging its monopoly in the

I remember FB doing that with WhatsApp at least 6-9 months before announcing it officially and pushing the new "terms of service." It's a shame the EU didn't punish them more severely over that, because they were basical

Google has been pushing SMS 2FA a little more aggressively over the past couple of years, too. And I think Apple made it "easier to use SMS 2FA" in iOS 12 for the same reason. I also said before that this is exactly why Facebook

Mikrotik routers were just hacked pretty badly. I'm not so sure they are competent enough with the security of their routers now, even if their routers are otherwise good value.
