Comment Well, duh (Score 1) 96

AFAIK the limitations on the bundled Prime Music were: 1) Only one device could stream at a given time 2) Smaller catalog without the "latest and greatest", which, let's be honest, should probably be considered a premium feature. I guess this was more than enough for a lot of people, thus Prime Music Unlimited was not that enticing. Now that the interest rates are going up you need to pad that bottom line somehow...

Brazilian here. Yeah, Bolsonaro is a disgrace of a president, but let's read beyond the partisan reporting. Illegal logging, mining and deforestation has been going on since forever. A previous governor member of the party of the soon to be elected ex-convict ex-criminal Lula even got to the point of selling fake logging licenses to illegal loggers. Indians set up illegal tolls on roads that crosses the reserves, and also illegally charge for farmers and miners for "land usage rights", which of course they are not allowed to do. The Indian chiefs drive top of the line pick up trucks.

Apple Cancels Long-delayed AirPower Charging Mat (venturebeat.com) 106

One and a half years after announcing a wireless charging mat for iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods called AirPower, Apple has unexpectedly cancelled the accessory. From a report: It notably missed its expected shipping dates multiple times, including a potential release alongside the second-generation version of AirPods and charging case this week. "After much effort, we've concluded AirPower will not achieve our high standards and we have cancelled the project," said Apple SVP of Hardware Engineering Dan Riccio in a statement today. "We apologize to those customers who were looking forward to this launch. We continue to believe that the future is wireless and are committed to push the wireless experience forward." Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, adds, "This is fairly unprecedented and unbelievable. The AirPods even have a picture of the AirPower on the box."

I have been using RSS since 2005 it is is still provides 99,9% of all the online content I read. I am using Inoreader which is amazing. All other media delivery options are sub-optimal. I was impressed when I discovered that people use Facebook to get their news. They *deserve* to get fake news

Brazilian here. This is what they tried to trademark (The last sound in the video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

In Brazil, This is known as the "plim-plim". They have been using the sound for many (30+) years. I don't see how this can be compared to the sound of a ringing phone.
