...for now. Google has shamelessly abandoned Nexus and Moto devices in the past: who's to say they won't just do it again when they decide it's too much work/not shiny enough?

Women, especially single moms, make less and often need to spend more to survive. Plus, while Pedro and Ian have women on the pictures, it sounds like those were sent after receiving the gifts, so that couldn't have been part of the

I was under the impression that anyone in the Philippines was encouraged to kill drug dealers, which just masks culture/sectarian clashes? Police-only is much different. (Though still immoral IMO)

Fundamentally, it's because it scares people too much. America isn't desperate enough, or brave enough, to try.

I can't see why a 5W TDP Intel SOC wouldn't also be sufficient for that purpose. The Snapdragon 835 is 4.5W. Why the specific ISA desire?

I wish their readme would show some examples of leaked information from reference dhcp clients, so we could tangibly see why that's an improvement.

There's a truism about gender: when men complain, it's because they want something solved. When women complain, it's because they want sympathy. Doesn't mix and match well unless you consciously try to handle it differen

"Paying a Google employee to steal their designs and sell them to you" is vastly different than regular industrial espionage.

Why isn't that possible, if only in the "pissed of CEO talks to subsidiary president"? AWS grosses ~$4Bn yearly, so if the CIA truly spends $0.9Bn (~23%) favours can happen and doors can get opened. There's nothing &quot

Did you miss "in war against non-combatants"? Hiroshima and Nagasaki were exactly that. Even Tokyo was considered. PS, Pearl Harbour was against military targets, and peacetime is arguable considering the embargoes, etc. Still not

Chrysler had the same problem, and Fiat's acquisition was their savour. Ford's financials were better at the time (lots of strong European subsidiaries) and they managed to tough it out. Toyota, Honda, etc don't have the same

I love LineageOS, but using it still doesn't prevent OS-level privacy/attack vectors like the recent "report cell tower location despite location services being off" mishap/invasion. (1) Yes, Android is open source,

Unlike iOS, virtually all of the Android userland, and all of its SDK, is also open source: AOSP is the name of the project containing it all. IIRC only two major things aren't included: binary blob-only drivers, and proprietary Google

Buy a new 6S then. Apple doesn't immediately abandon their phones, so there's no need to buy the newest out of habit.
