how communists, dictators, and presidents are all starting to sound the same. Alex Pretti, Renee Nicole Good and Pavel Durov accused of abetting terrorists.

but it's not like a user isn't warned several times when clicking on such a link.
But why does every app have to be a browser? Is this functionality going to be added to solitaire? Why not?
To me it seems that if Microsoft was in the tool business every thing would need to be, or function like, a hammer.
That's what i have now, get off the couch or get up and restart the systems...
Tech was supposed to make our lives easier...
Exactly!
Not to mention going from one remote that worked properly to multiple remotes that don't work as expected and new issues with every update and every gadget.
Where is the smart in smart TVs? To me they are the Trojan horses. I had to move them off the main network.
Piracy sounds simpler and way less intrusive
I don't know of a single company sharing proprietary code. So where will vibe be if there is no code to scan?
On another note. A while back people were worried that open source licensed code would make it in commercial licensed code and would create some legal issues. Isn't this also an issue with vibe generated code?
To me it seems that it's more of an issue that vibe creates a problem for proprietary code. GPL to vide makes vibe code into GPL. Share and share alike.
The US invading would hurt the US. Just the threats have opened peoples eyes. Migrations take time and I don't know anyone that ever ran to aÂbully to get abused.
You're probably 20 years late to this party. There are very, very, VERY few of the usual things that the phone replaced where the phones are doing a sub-par job. Maybe the only relevant somehow common example is a bright, telephoto lens, sure you can't beat physics and replace sometimes literally kilograms of glass with a lens as small as the tip of your pinkie. For the rest, the complains are usually overblown. Compact cameras are just about as good, as the good phones, what can one insist on, having more physical buttons? If anything phones have even decent advantages there: they're usually waterproof (while most compact cameras aren't), they have a huge screen that not even 50k$ camera have, networking capabilities that really work not the wifi afterthought that's a pain in even the mentioned multi-thousand$ cameras, encrypted storage and so on.
My 20 year old spare camera has a better battery life than a new phone. I can also buy a spare battery and have it charging. Precision focus and target selection. ISO / shutter speed / aperture selection with a roll of the thumb or finger while keeping my subject in frame. Unlimited storage. Hands free operation. etc... etc... etc..
What else, mp3 players? What can one insist on, maybe better DACs in a particular model
How about simple transfer from/to phone without having to connect to a third party. How about Ogg. What's good for the goose is not always good for the gander. When someone uses sheeple as an argument it shows they no longer have a point to make. Who cares what others are using. I care about my privacy and listening to the music and songs I paid for or created.
Digital organizers, or address books? C'mon. Oh, wait, I have a good one: alarm clocks! Remember when you had an alarm clock at home, and a nice folding travel alarm clock? How is the phone worse, not good enough haptics if you need to smash the snooze button?
Digital organizers were and still aren't an issue. Your good one is not that great. Terrible, example. I no longer sleep with my phone in my room what with all the annoying alerts that you can't turn off.
Why do you need a travel alarm when the hotel telephone system has a wake up call feature?
Who would have though with all the people on the Internet that some would differ in opinion.
As these people were not absolutely right they were also not absolutely wrong. It's absolutely mind boggling to some that "smart" phones are getting even more frustrating to use.
You have this mindset that since it meets your needs then it should meet everyone's needs. Sorry, but I have yet to see a phone that can replace dedicated products. Smart phones do a lot of things good enough for average use but fail when you need precision.
I won't even get in the privacy issue.
Personally I feel they are Jack of all trades but master of none.
who thinks it's a good idea of wasting energy on something that is completely irrelevant. If the action is relevant then it should have been addressed when it happened to ensure what ever positive benefit the action had it would be repeated next time.
This is "busy work". Work that is created so you look like you are busy doing something.
Yeah the law is funny that way. So the pharmacist has to waste his time pulling down the posters on the message board while the rest of the shops in the mall have flashing advertisements.
The funny thing is that in some future time a similar case will be heard in front of another judge and we won't have the same decision.
Roads facilitate illegal things, maybe we should go after the pavers....
Yes. Unwillingly unfortunately. Thankfully it's not my main system.
It's not an "effective synchronized cloud storage service", it's a virus.
A service would ask to be activated. A service would ask what you wanted to synchronize. A service would ask what you wanted to delete. A service would assume the local copy that is currently the default location would remain the default main location unless specifically changed.
There is no magic. There should be no assumption. It should be explained prior to activation and only activated by the user.
Yes you are defending Microsoft because if any third party would activate such as service without your consent you would be screaming bloody murder. If you don't beleive me replace Microsoft with Logitech or UBlock origin or any other third party software you installed on your system.
when the information that was stolen cannot be changed. This should be a lifetime of free monitoring even after you move to a new insurance company.
Don't buy it or if when you receive it it requires an account send it back.
You are absolutely right. Every president should go after ever person who they believe wronged them. The main goal of a president should be vengeance.
How is that affordability coming along?
Play Rogue, visit exotic locations, meet strange creatures and kill them.
