Europe all seem about 'competition' but ultimately they entrench the US duopoly. They talk tough but don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.

I don't know why the EU commissioners haven't introduced their own app store yet.

if Lenovo can partner with Graphene OS... Why can't the carriers such as Orange or Telefonica launch their own de-Googled OEM phone?

Is it a case of Apple dominating, or Samsung not offering bang for buck over its Chinese competitors?

A decade ago, I was using second hand Galaxy S series for LineageOS support but that dream died when they ended user replaceable batteries.

My last 2 Androids have been Moto (Lenovo). So I would be intrigued about getting back into the customer ROM scene if GrapheneOS-Moto collaboration bears fruit.

Yes, a big star. Last millennium.

I've been living under a rock but can't recall seeing him in anything after Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - he was good in that but even by 2005 we are talking about career reboots.

Unless we're riding the wave of Top Gun nostalgia, this looks like your classic spend $150 million on AI for a $30 million box office return.

Why can't Shuttleworth base LTS on stable for those of us who don't need new/shiny every six months based on a fork of sid?

I stick with upstream Debian on my home machine because I don't benefit from Canonical-isms. But forking the codebase every 6 months and then supporting one fork for 2 years as LTS seems like a wasted effort.

Comment Re:OTA DVR (Score 1) 81

I got out of the habit of watching the 7pm news when I moved out of my mother's place...

So the only OTA I watch is live sport; the AFL or the tennis.

A DVB-T USB stick for OTA is $30 and an Android TV stick similar, so my next TV will be a 'gaming monitor' or a projector.

Smart TVs aren't that smart to be honest.
