if by "equivalent" you mean a new modern flagship phone, then no, you won't find one. but a $200 new phone this year is at least the equivalent of a pixel phone from five years ago. nobody's going to say that, for examp

This is an antitrust lawsuit filed by the FTC, not an accusation of specifically illegal conduct. They're not saying amazon committed a crime by doing this, they're saying that it's evidence of amazon abusing their market pos

There absolutely is. Even more than there is on android. Chromebook is a google trademark, and chromebook-branded devices are tightly controlled by google. I believe that OEMs have to pick from a predetermined set of approved mainboard an

i agree, but i think they should have gone the other way. "chromebook plus" makes it sound like a premium product that you probably don't need. minimum 8GB of ram should be the standard configuration that most people go for

the biggest problem, at least for me, is that it breaks links - you can only link to the frameset, not the actual page, and the url doesn't change on navigation. unless you start doing javascript address bar manipulations, in which cas

i think it's perfectly reasonable to be worried about AI safety, but silly to claim that the thing that will make AIs 'safe' is censoring information that is already publicly available, or content somebody declares obscene.

Mark Rober is one of the big-name youtubers that so many other youtubers try to emulate, so whatever his reasons are, the reason it sounds so "youtubey" is probably because it's how Mark Rober talks in his videos.
