Scarborough retired in May 2001, Klausutis died two months later, in July. See wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., medical examiner report: https://www.washingtonpost.com...

The "different city" he was in at the time was Washington, D.C., while she was in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

Because I don't have to manage it and wait for it to update. I can be playing where I left off within 30 seconds of turning it on. I don't have to deal with driver issues, windows updates, and game updates.

I stopped playing games on a PC because I had to maintain a separate Windows system to do it (Linux on desktop, but still wouldn't want to game on my revenue-generating computer even if it were Windows). Because this system was not always-on, every time I wanted to play it'd try to download more updates for Windows, Steam, or the game itself. Sometimes these would break things. Sometimes I'd want to spend one hour playing a game and instead spend 2 hours diagnosing issues and 0 hours playing. And the copy protection and failures that resulted from it made me want to give up gaming altogether.

Bought a PS4 a few months back after not having a console since early PS2 days, couldn't be happier. Still miss the keyboard and mouse.

I just don't understand how Bernie thinks he's actually going to enact these plans. How are you actually going to get this energy plan (or a Meciare-for-All plan) through Congress?

Let's say the Democrats have a runaway victory with 2020, with a Sanders presidency, gaining a majority in the Senate, and extending it in the House. Are we really under the delusion that Democrat senators in swing states and states heavily dependent on these industries are going to sign off on it?

I just don't get it. I think Bernie is one of the most honest politicians we have, but the idea that a president can deliver this is absurd.

Can we please look at the presidential candidates' claims through the lens of "is there a snowball's chance of hell anything s/he's talking about can make it through the US Senate?"

$1000-1400 is a bit ridiculous for a product that is very likely to be junk in 2.5 years. No OS updates after that point, and after one year the updates begin to get less and less frequent. How long is it going to take Samsung to get the February security patch out for its current 2.5-year old phones, fixing the remote-root-by-Bluetooth exploit? And the bootloaders are locked, for your safety, to ensure you can't install a patched OS yourself.

Currently running a OnePlus 7 Pro. $500. I put LineageOS on it, which is possible because the bootloader is unlocked. It's inferior to the S20 line in several ways (90Hz vs 120Hz display, 855 vs 865, no 5G). It's superior in other ways (no hole in display, will not be guaranteed-dead in 2.5 years when software goes unmaintained, no ridiculous Samsung bloatware, far more privacy).

The only reason Samsung gets away with these prices is via financing and BOGO contract deals through carriers (yes you can leave, but you pay in FULL if you do, so no, you can't leave).

Google warning users that sideloading can be dangerous is not fundamentally anticompetitive. Sideloading *is* dangerous for most users and is an oft-used attack vector by malware.

This on the other hand, is fundamentally anticompetitive...

Google's AOSP documentation suggests the use of proprietary components over open-source components in the Android open-source source code. And with no disclaimer that it's proprietary. For example:

Source version: https://android.googlesource.c...
Rendered version: https://developer.android.com/...

That there is Google trying to encourage developers to bind to proprietary APIs, such that their apps can only be run on Google-approved devices with Google taking 30% of revenue.

This is part of the Android OPEN SOURCE Project.

I'm an independent app developer (not affiliated with Google or Essential). I go through a lot of phones and have a ton of test devices. I used one for about 8 months, which is a very long time for me. This phone was actually pretty good in my opinion.

Pros:
* First notch design with edge-to-edge screen (3 sides + traditional bottom bezel). Still higher screen-body-ratio than any iPhone today.
* Same bloat-free Android OS as Google Pixels, minus Google's additional bloat added to Pixels. No additional spyware (beyond Google's spyware).
* Price was very good ($400-500) after it did poorly.
* Very nice construction and design. Lays flat with no camera hump.
* Flagship specs.
* Unlocked bootloader, LineageOS support (so it's actually not dead now).

Cons:
* UI smoothness issues, felt it was 30hz or the touch layer had very low resolution.
* First notch design....I still don't like notches.
* Camera was poor at the beginning. Became decent after a few updates.

I would have liked to see them do a second iteration of it, as would most users of the PH-1. And not the ridiculously-high-aspect-ratio thing they were planning, but an iterative successor, i.e., PH-2.
