How does concentrating the sunlight like this not start a fire? Or wouldn’t this at least cause panel electronics to overheat?

How many real life users are going to install software from somewhere other than the built in app store on their phone?

Governments are going about this the wrong way. The problem isn’t with app stores. The problem is that you can’t install a different OS on your phone (or current Mac, or iPad).

The nice thing about the Hackintosh was the upgradability/repairability. Wishing Apple would bring some of that back.

Why would I want that? I don’t even want it on my Mac.

Does Oracle own JavaScript? I thought JavaScript was developed by Netscape and that Oracle claimed to own the rights to Java, which is not the same thing.

It’s sad and pathetic that Microsoft gave up on their own rendering engine. Edge is just a chrome clone with a bunch of privacy invading marketing crap stuffed into it.

You should just be able to see the ground under the back tires of the car in front of you. That’s the appropriate distance.

Here’s hoping the UK does a better job with this than the US.

1. Our emergency alerts go off far too often about things that aren’t emergencies.
2. And when there is an emergency (like the floods in Texas this week) they don’t bother sending out an alert.
3. And if they do bother, people don’t receive an alert because they’ve disabled them due to point 1.

Yes, safety costs money.

We should be retaking driver tests every seven to ten years to keep our license.

Poorly designed roads, signage, and intersections cause a lot of accidents. Think on ramps that throw you into traffic, and off-ramps that want you to get over three lanes after exiting in order to turn right at your cross street.

Lack of traffic enforcement drives up insurance costs and reduces city revenues. Some states have cheaped out on the reflective paint used to stripe roads, so you can’t see lane dividers in the rain. More of that wonderful “deregulation” and people not wanting to pay taxes I guess.

It also doesn’t help that many states are getting rid of car inspections for some bizarre reason. Not great to avoid shit falling off of the car in front of you when you’re going 70 mph.

It would be interesting to find out there was more than one Borg queen. Just like insects have hives with their own queen.

That’s strange, considering they all use the same battery suppliers.

You left out “Uyghur slave labor”.

You say turned around, I say ruined. He’s just remaking it into another IBM by selling services and killing anything innovative or creative.

It’s Microsoft’s current CEO. All he is interested in is subscription revenue. Xbox hardware is next to go.

Breaking up Microsoft would be the best thing they could do right now. But it won’t happen.

E/os is just android.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki//e/_(operating_system)

I do see that Ubuntu touch is an option though.

It’s shameful that most phones run one of two operating systems. There’s not enough competition. I’m still pissed about WebOS and Windows Phone being abandoned. I am hopeful though that web-based apps might make it possible for another OS to enter the market successfully at some point.

Is it really de-googled if it still runs Android?

Doesn’t this thing just run android and Google App Store? What a waste of decent hardware.

Oh yay. More corporate consolidation. I’m sure that will bring prices down and help the environment. 🙄
