You could make a stand and ... not use it if it's App-only. That's what I would do. If they put on restrictive rules I will

1. Let them know why I won't use it
2. Not use their product

Slashdot users used to know this.... *sigh*

If we don't, sooner or later the web will cease to exist. Interoperability will be lost by the road. You'll be locked into your Android or iOS phone because that's what will be supported... Yes, yes, you use the workaround... Emulation is often detected and blocked. You'll have 200 "Apps" on your phone, for every service you'll need, because every company thinks they are a special kind of snowflake who needs their own App.

I understand you want to be "practical", but by doing so, you will allow them to destroy what we have now... a still relatively free and open World Wide Web.

And even the Weight Watchers (WW now) app are way better than the website. I'd love to be able to use those where I have a real keyboard.

And you don't see this as a fundamental problem? The website should be *the* place to do all things. Not an app. Websites are perfect for interoperable communication regardless of device.

Until Apple or Samsung put their efforts into AR, I don't see anyone else being able to go to market with a VR solution. Even Google tried and failed with the Google Glass a decade ago. While I love the idea, I don't think the market is there for this yet (and might not be for a long time outside of large cities).

Honestly, and based on the merits of the product.

I know, I know. An alien concept.

My main use of APKPure is to be able to use an Android phone without a Google Account, but still be able to install applications that would have been free in the Google store.

This doesn't get pointed out often enough.

The end result is that it raised the price of foreign goods beyond the point at which people buy it without second thought.

The intent of tariffs is to promote the purchase of domestic product by making foreign product more expensive. This is sometimes necessary to prevent a foreign government dumping product so cheap that the domestic companies shut down, then the foreign governments stop subsidizing the product because there's no longer competition.

Tariffs are a defensive tactic to protect domestic industry, and in that regard that's what they're being used for here. You just have to do some serious mental gymnastics to justify this defense because it's pretty shitty. Our domestic companies should pay their fair share of taxes in the nations they operate, as well as here in the US.

This could get interesting. Maybe I'll start cross posting my blog here - see if we can get something going. Though I can't lie - I'm doubting it will catch on. :)

Introduce him to Oracle licensing?

Exactly. My wifes mid-2010 27" is out of support. We would need a new machine. We're going to hobble along with what we have because obviously buying an Intel Mac now is a waste of money. However buying anything first-gen Apple is no good idea either. So we'll wait for second gen and wait a bit longer until the verdict is out that it's good.

Ah fudge, I was looking at comment numbers. I'm an idiot who hasn't used /. in far too long. Carry on, apologies. More coffee is in my immediate future.

Your troll accounts have the UIDs a bit too close together. You should wait longer in between making troll accounts in the future so it's not so obvious.

I've had this issue with controllers for as long as I've owned my ps4

I guess you have to say it in front of a mirror or something.

I have no conspiracy theory rants and I have no idea who Lindsey Graham is and what this has to do with the topic.

The question is: Can we trust the fact checkers?

.... and that is the problem isn't it? Can we? Really? Are you sure? Who check them?

The quote stays appropriate and that's why I put it there.,
