On the one hand it's a greedy western imperialist corporation, yada yada.
But done right, upgrading the grid and capacity to support such a venture could provide economic benefits to a pejoratively 'developing' African nation.
Who pays...
c.f. the GNU Libre kernel that 'cripples' hardware relying on binary blobs with the intent that any training data ought to be supplied in human readable source code before being compiled into said binary firmware.
If we want to go all in tinfoil-hat, harmless initialization data or something nefarious? The idea that you're uploading undocumented bootstrap code into hardware registers to unlock secret modes or redirect your traffic to hostile actors...
Seriously? That is not happening soon.
There is a Toy Story 5 next month.
It wasn't cost effective.
TISM had a concert this weekend.
Ghosts were common up until the late twentieth century until a trio of researchers from Columbia University, NY - well you know the story...
Europe all seem about 'competition' but ultimately they entrench the US duopoly. They talk tough but don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.
I don't know why the EU commissioners haven't introduced their own app store yet.
if Lenovo can partner with Graphene OS... Why can't the carriers such as Orange or Telefonica launch their own de-Googled OEM phone?
Retro-computing is all the rage but, to state the obvious, Dos-based Windows has been a dead platform since the release of Windows XP, a quarter of a century ago.
Because she was curious, I guess.
IIRC, Windows 95 and later versions were never ported to run under FreeDOS.
So this Windows ME Linux layer will never benefit from any 64 bit extensions to DOS just as mainstream distros are removing their 32 bit ISOs.
Is it a case of Apple dominating, or Samsung not offering bang for buck over its Chinese competitors?
A decade ago, I was using second hand Galaxy S series for LineageOS support but that dream died when they ended user replaceable batteries.
My last 2 Androids have been Moto (Lenovo). So I would be intrigued about getting back into the customer ROM scene if GrapheneOS-Moto collaboration bears fruit.
Yes, a big star. Last millennium.
I've been living under a rock but can't recall seeing him in anything after Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - he was good in that but even by 2005 we are talking about career reboots.
Unless we're riding the wave of Top Gun nostalgia, this looks like your classic spend $150 million on AI for a $30 million box office return.
Yes, $35 buys you a dongle with just enough of an OS to bootstrap renting 4K content.
The movie Arrival with Forest Whitaker and Amy Adams goes to the trouble of decoding an alien language from first principles.
Ancient Egyptian academic Daniel Jackson was central to Stargate.
So not all Sci-Fi relies on an all powerful AI.
Some might consider not running macOS a feature!
In other news this month, Bryan Keller ported the long since abandoned PowerPC release of OS X to the Wii.
Why can't Shuttleworth base LTS on stable for those of us who don't need new/shiny every six months based on a fork of sid?
I stick with upstream Debian on my home machine because I don't benefit from Canonical-isms. But forking the codebase every 6 months and then supporting one fork for 2 years as LTS seems like a wasted effort.
When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
