Specifically certain types of glass work better in smart phones. Home or automotive glass would not work for phones. If plastic worked better, other smart phone manufacturers would use it. But the vast majority of them use glass. Probably for good reasons.

That is a different model, the iPad Pro. The Neo runs MacOS.

Sure, if you want to live in denial. You can read or watch reviews of it online that details that is not true. Most if not all reviews say the same thing: It is a pretty good $600 laptop. It has flaws and it is not the best laptop but for your average consumer the price and capabilities align.

It was not so much a standards issue as Google trying to mislead the public. While Google complained that Apple did not follow RCS, they meant Apple did not follow Google RCS which has Google's implementations of key features like E2EE. Apple said it would follow RCS which means it is still not fully compatible with Google RCS yet. The GSMA just released RCS4.0 in March which is trying to bridge the gap between the two protocols.

Which RCS are you talking about? RCS the standard defined by cellular industry GSMA or Google RCS which is Google's superset of that standard? Google RCS for example implemented Google's choices for encryption as well as features not in standard RCS. It was not confusing at all that Google named their protocol, "RCS". No, not confusing at all . . .

Right now it is a terrible time to have a PC. Windows 11 has forced many to buy a new PC if wanted to stay with Windows. After years, Intel has competitive CPUs especially for laptops, but RAM pricing has made everything expensive. At the same time, MS seems incapable of releasing updates that don't break computers. Lastly, Apple just released a $600’budget laptop that upends the PC laptop market.

Hey, people are willing to pay for porn . . . Allegedly, from what my friend told me.

The border collie helps round up the cattle but it would be easier if the rancher knows where the cattle are located to send out the collie. Some ranches can be hundreds of thousands of acres. And that is the main herd. If there are stragglers, they have to be located too.

The answer is rather simple: don’t upgrade the kernel to a newer version. At this point, any kernel features added would not benefit a 486. Existing and working code is unaffected.

Who is throwing away working code? New versions of Linux will not support x486 processors. The keyword is "new". Existing versions will still work. All versions are archived for people to use. And Linux is still open source. Anyone who want to modify Linux going forward to support 486 is free to do so.

How granular would the permission be? If web browsers start blocking all animation and post-load layout shifting by default, including CSS transitions and animations, this would encourage website operators to structure the page to coerce permission to animate in each document. For example, a website operator could make each page load blank other than a notice to the effect "Tap or click to view 'Title of Article' on Name of Site."

In my experience on laptops and tablets, I've found the exact opposite (eager loading) helpful in some situations with limited or no data. I would download an entire page on unmetered Wi-Fi, go offline, and read while riding as a passenger in a car or bus.

I sincerely doubt that 14,500 USD per year (full-time minimum wage) is near enough to pay for income tax, rent, food, health insurance, and a round-trip taxi ride every weekday in most of the United States. I'd be interested to read examples of budgets that you have in mind.

Windows 11 requires 4GB to "run". In my experience, MS defines "run" as "very low values of 'run'"

My point is everything about that sentence could be wrong.
