What - you really thought he was endosing crypto so hard because he thought it was a good idea for America? He sees it as one more way to get shady money laundered and into his accounts. It used to be Russia and Deutsche Bank. Now it'll be untraceable crypto. For just $100 you can get a gold MAGA hat made in China! Donate now! You're a hero! Donations in bitcoin plz.

What a load of tripe.

NASA continues to run groundbreaking missions. "Competition" from the private sector is nothing more than the private sector taking space technology from Nasa, then getting huge government kickbacks (SpaceEx), and using that.

There is no 'competition' in space without the government kickbacks, and the reason THAT is happening is pretty simple: Corporate Welfare.

Comment Because they have what people want.... (Score 3, Interesting) 31

That's because, for now, they have what people want. But as the streaming services see them as a threat they will remove their content from google and remove stations as well. I used google TV because it was the only way for me to easily watch the NFL, and it had everything else as a package. That's exactly why I only use shitty services like netflix, paramount, apple TV et. al. for a month at a time. They've stratified themselves so heavily that each only has a show or two that I want to watch.

Don't even ask me how many times I had to read this sentence in the article to have it make sense.

"A more compact version of the model will from today power suggested messaging replies from the keyboard of Pixel 8 smartphones."

My 8th grade english teacher would have circled that in red and written "ACKWARD" in huge letters.

Comment Re:Yes apps can detect when a screenshot is taken. (Score 1) 68

No. No it's not. To allow ANY secure work on a phone, corporations need controls to prevent exactly this from happening.

Example: I'm attending a private webinar for my company and financial outlooks are being discussed weeks in advance of a quarterly profits announcement. I take a quick screen shot and send it to my friends.

This is a situation where certain users need the ability. The problem here is that the APP shouldn't have that permission without being granted it specifically.
