No it’s not. The only thing regulated is that phone companies have to make the numbers portable so they can’t hold them hostage. But you don’t own any right to your number, if there is a renumbering you are SOL. The number can’t be gone of

It doesn’t make a lot of sense that they’re trying to move people to old protocols that can be intercepted. It’s an authoritarian country, why not intercept at the provider who has all the keys anyway?

If there is anything that the COVID pandemic should have made abundantly clear, it is that it should not be left to politicians to decide what’s true and what’s false.

So now uplinks are going to maintain lists of networks you don’t want traffic from. How do you imagine this is going to work with IPv6? It requires unbounded amounts of memory and processing power.

The real abuse of course is $5 a minute toll line. The ability to rack up that kind of charge should be opt-in, there’s basically no legitimate use case.

Probably to avoid all the bug reports you get from people who use bad dumps or dumps of roms that require different hardware. It’s open source and not hard to compile, so feel free to change the hashes or remove the check, I guess.

This also requires a completely different, much more authoritarian mindset. Even living in high rises already significantly limits your freedom because you have twice as much neighbors.

I like how DST switches things up twice a year. But unfortunately there’s a very big and dramatic lobby against it.

Wonder if it’d also be possible to send commands to Siri, that could also have some implications.

With unlimited data connections I presume offering WiFi really only works for tourists anyway.

You can also edit text files using notepad. Does that mean there is a cult around the useless vi?

Upon review that is correct, apparently I confused this thread with another one.

So when you start asking questions, that terrible UI becomes a subtle UX difference. That’s why this is all armchair designery about pet issues. You may like the way Windows works, that’s fine. But that doesn’t mean MacOS works ‘terribly’.

Mac OS displays exactly the same information, Windows groups windows under one icon as well. Windows shows miniatures of the windows on hover, Mac OS pops them all up to the foreground if you click the icon and lists them on right click&#x2

Windows has such great window management its users have much less windows open and thus manage much less windows than the MacOS, which has such bad window management its users manage hundreds of windows. It does not make a whole lot of sens

The phones really are pretty much the same price as a similarly specced Samsung, and the computers are more expensive but also last longer.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the news partners are requiring them to include ads.
