I'm also in Australia. I got an MG4 and there are dealers all over the place in Melbourne (one 5 min drive away, around a dozen in Melbourne metro). I don't know about parts availability as I haven't had to get anything done but places aren't a problem.
They have lowered the bar in college. I knocked out most of an associates 20 years ago when I was 20 and recall it being much harder then today.
Ah, could you start by learning the difference between "then" and "than"?
I just brought it up and while it's mostly blank, there's a "Trending" button on the left under "Explore". Click that and a familiar looking page of garbage shows up.
there's no such thing as second-hand vape smoke after all.
Nonsense. It might not smell as bad as cigarette smoke but I still don't want anyone vaping right next to me.
$6/GB is far from an abusive rate in my opinion - let's compare the cost of GB in relation to average (or median) income levels...
Is it? I currently pay AU$10 a month for 4GB with unlimited calls & text included.
I would guess cost of living is comparable here to the US and population density is even lower.
In this case, trivial. I clicked "disable javascript on this site" in my uBlock Origin menu, reload, and the paywall was gone.
This has to have been written by someone who didn't realize until recently that anything other than Windows even existed.
It's ZDNet, what did you expect?
OS/2 actually lived on for a number of years after that, but it was only marketed to businesses. I forget what they renamed it, but it was effectively OS/2 Warp 5.
It was called "Warp Server for e-Business". Silly name but I still have a VM of it working on my Linux desktop.
Thank you for proving my point. Lineage is not a factory supported OS, and having to manually upgrade to an alternative OS qualifies as a hack in my book.
You may consider it a hack but to me, the ability to install the OS of my choice on MY device is a necessary feature we should never let the manufacturers of our mobile computing devices (yes, that's IS what a smart phone is) take away from us. That's why I'll never buy an iPhone or any other iOS device, or even any Android device with a boot loader that can't be unlocked.
An OS shouldn't have to be "factory supported" to considered a valid choice. Tying the software and hardware into a single inseparable package is a step backwards for flexibility and user choice.
Even if you don't have the technical ability to install an alternative OS yourself, you should have the right and ability to have someone else do it for you. Only unlockable hardware gives you that option.
Same. I upgraded to a new iPhone this year because my 6-ish year old iPhone 6s was lagging pretty badly running the current versions of my apps. Shockingly, the 6s still runs the current factory supported iOS. How many 6 year old Android devices still run the latest Android release without resorting to hacks?
Well, I've got an 8 year old Galaxy Note 3 running Android 11 with up to date security patches thanks to LineageOS.
Surely if this ever works, a better use of the technology would be to allow people with non-functional ears to hear.
It uses Wingdings for emoticons which any standards compliant client renders as simple letters. For a long time I wondered why so many people finished their emails with a "J"...
Wow, I thought I'd be the only one who'd have this answer. I learned CHIP-8 on an Electronics Australia kit computer called the DREAM 6800. Can't say I remember any of the op-codes but I do remember that instructions were all 2 bytes long. The computer itself had a hex keypad plus a few extra keys, 1kB RAM and a 64x32 pixel display.
No, they shouldn't hire people who don't care or don't know the difference.
I bought & installed an after market JVC unit that does just that. They did exist but were pretty rare.
