Newer Samsungs (at least 2019, maybe even older) have a microphone in the remote. It’s opt-in to give it that permission (you have to agree to a bunch of legalese), but it being Samsung, I just assume they’re listening anyway.

Uhhhhhhhhhh
How many of those listings are code for something?
Huh, I just went to the website to try and it worked for me
CVEs lol
What’s funny to me is that you could say Apple is the reason for this.
Apple’s had longer OS support for their phones than any Android manufacturer for a while, but then Google started catching up when they got their own chips and now Samsung and the others are pushing Qualcomm to quit their bullshit.
I do use an iPhone myself currently, but if Qualcomm opens their shit up enough that OEMs can provide at LEAST 5 years of software updates to their flagships, I might go back to Androidland (though I’m not sure what to even consider, I dislike Samsung and OnePlus disappointed me so hard with the OxygenOS->ColorOS switch that it’s literally the reason I went to iOS.
I suppose any Android phone would be good if I ran a custom ROM like I used to, but a couple of years ago bank apps in my country started checking the integrity of the bootloader and whatever. I couldn’t find any way around it back then, but maybe there’s something now?
Might be true for people buying their own WiFi routers.
Which already isn’t most consumers, because most people use what their ISP gives them.
I don’t think Windows uses a microkernel. Hybrid kernel is the term I’ve heard used.
Hosting services behind a VPN I suppose
Wouldn’t that be UPS?
It still worked - you could use the software with occasional hiccups, it’s not like there was data loss or anything. It just didn’t work WELL.
And if the business needs aren’t met, said businesses will go to another SaaS company that promises them a better, brighter future.
The user might not be the subscriber, but the user being less productive because the software is getting in their way, will irritate the subscriber.
I know a SaaS company that put thousands upon thousands of engineering hours into making small (and sometimes large) optimizations over their overall crappy architecture so their enterprise customers (and I’m talking ~6 out of the top 10 largest companies in one industry in the US) wouldn’t leave them for a solution that doesn’t freeze up for all users in a company when one user runs a report. Each company ran in a silo of their own, but for the bigger ones… I’m not going to give exact numbers, but if you give every user a total of half an hour of unnecessary delays per day, that’s like 500 hours of wasted time per day per 1000 employees. Said employees were performing extremely overpriced services, so 500 hours of wasted time per day might be something like 100k income lost per day. Not an insignificant number even for billion dollar companies.
I’ve since left the company for greener pastures and I hear the new management sucks, but the old one for sure knew that they were going to lose their huge ass clients over performance issues and bugs.
I’d expect that to be damn near all of them because most stores don’t run their own production companies
And that’s where this article comes in.
I feel that if Apple could have soldered the RAM back then, they would have.
Apple used to ship repair and upgrade kits with guides on how to apply them. Not sure they were as anti-repair then as they are now.
I’ve done that once. Then I made the mistake of updating past the Android version it came with. Suddenly it was no better than most of the cheap androids I’d owned before that. It was the Oneplus 7 Pro and it just started lagging like hell 2 years in.
I’m now 2 years into my iPhone 13 mini, have also kept up with software updates and it hasn’t slowed down at all.
I’m actually looking at something else for my first bike, but it does have a forum because it seems to have a huge fan base - I’m looking at older Ducati Monsters, particularly the 620.
Nah, the Complex instructions are ridiculously complex and the Reduced ones can still do a lot of stuff.
ARM and RISC-V are entirely different in that neither one is based on the other, but what they have in common is that they’re both RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architectures. RISC is what makes ARM CPUs (in your phone, etc) so efficient and hopefully RISC-V will get there too.
x86 by comparison is Complex Instruction Set Computing, which allows for more performance in some cases, but isn’t as efficient.
You set out a container of water and wait for it to heat to 50C
But to be fair, the evaporation will cool it too much for this to work
Hmm maybe what you call a mall in Australia is what Americans call a strip mall?
