Wrong.

Not even sure what you're talking about concerning AirPlay. What Google implemented was AirDrop, not AirPlay.

Regardless, I've used Google's Implementation going both to and from my Macbook Pro. It's the real deal. Works beautifully.

That's why you're sitting at a zero score on your post. Do more research next time.

Comment Mobiles aren't desktops (Score 1) 88

I mean if you're going to count mobile, why not count any use frontend use of backend servers as well. After all, slashdot.org is running on Linux, so you're using it now on a desktop or mobile. We don't do this because the argument gets absurd.

Desktop generally counts desktop and laptop type computers and most of them aren't running Linux, they're running WIndows, MacOS, ChromeOS and some kind of Linux (or "Unknown", I suppose). You could count ChromeOS into Linux but that still doesn't beat out Windows or MacOS. Not by a longshot.

Comment Let me supplement or ditch my GoPro (Score 1) 141

I would love a pair of athletic sunglasses with a good action camera ability to add to my bike rides. If they do it right, they could put GoPro out of business.

If you don't the bootloop, you can fix it with a Connect/Sync cycle on your watch.

Bricked, by definition, means unfixable, as in "turn it into a brick". This, while not great, isn't bricked.

Er no.

Companies only want minimum competence to do the job and that's exactly what they get typically or sadly, worse because they assumed boot camp is enough to gain competence. Source: I worked in IT for 40 years, much of that in a management capacity. I saw way too many incompetent H1-B workers who went to boot camp, far more than among the group of university trained US programmers. It's the reason we fired entire Indian based contractor companies.
