They offer a cheaper version that isn't bundled with Youtube Music, but then you get ads on official music uploads since I guess that's how the licensing works out. https://www.youtube.com/premiumlite

I was specifically talking about the people saying that the corporate users should be required by the license to provide compensation or assistance to the project. You're right that licensing as GPLv3 or AGPL generally limits corporate

I feel bad for the libxml2 maintainer. The project was originally intended for parsing GNOME configuration files, but then a bunch of corporations started using it to parse untrusted data with much higher stakes. I hope that both the decisi

If someone besides Apple made a fanless laptop that had competitive performance with Apple's offerings (i.e. not a $200 Chromebook with a Celeron or a cast-off 5 year old smartphone CPU), I'd absolutely buy one. I got excited when

Yeah all the fit and finish stuff was what I meant by build quality. Besides the stuff you mentioned, the back of the Touchpad was made of plastic and I was able to flex it by pushing on it, so it definitely didn't feel as premium as t

I use this HDMI splitter. It lets you either set a preprogrammed EDID, or learns an EDID from whatever you plug into HDMI output 1, and then shows up as a connected monitor for as long as the splitter's plugged in without having to con

I remember reading an article about the development of the Touchpad. Apotheker wanted the Palm division to be cash neutral. This meant that when they were speccing out the Touchpad, they weren't able to get any of the parts they wanted

Clearly you have never actually used a WebOS device. They supported app sideloading out of the box and were easy to get root on via an officially supported method. There was an extremely popular third-party app store called Preware that off

The problem was that in 2014, a $35 phone would get you specs worse than the original 2007 iPhone. Trying to run a mobile OS where the entire UI is written using web technologies on those specs basically made it unusable. Here's a revi

Honestly I think the whole Firefox OS idea was a major mistake, especially if the points the article makes about how the project changed Mozilla organizationally are true. Trying to make a new mobile platform in 2014, when iOS and Android w

I think this is because Apple doesn't sell cheap laptops, the cheapest you can buy is the $1000 Macbook Air. If you spend your $1000 on something like a Lenovo Thinkpad or Dell Latitude, it'll also last for over 10 years of active

I think it’s unreasonable that Apple sold a device that is capable of displaying 1080i and then disabled it in a software update. Doing stuff like that encourages users to not update and leave themselves vulnerable to security threats.

IMO there's a point as long as the terms that the guy's able to negotiate for buying out the current rightsholder make it financially sustainable to keep the business running solely by inexpensively licensing the Commodore brand n

From looking at his Xorg contributions on FDo, his technical work amounts to mostly code style changes and cosmetic-level refactors in an attempt to clean up the codebase. In the course of this, he's broken the master branch on multipl

There's no compile-time error checking and words can push/pop arbitrary amounts of data to/from the stack. This means that if a program grows beyond the point where you can keep the whole thing in your head, it's a night

It's also interesting how when you look at the websites for the new wave of AI B2B SaaS startups, most of the customers they list are other AI B2B SaaS startups. It makes me wonder how much of the "AI industry" is just startu

I think quality can be a differentiator in some cases. When the iPhone came out, there were other phones running Windows Phone and Symbian that had more features and cost less. However, the iPhone was successful anyway because it ran smooth
