Oh, you poor deluded little troll. You can believe whatever nonsense makes you feel better. There are, however, a few facts that you can't change that clearly infuriate you. Let me point them out for you:

1. You used to admire me, until ...
2. ... I embarrassed you when I exposed your deep ignorance and lack of proper education.
3. I was only able to do that because, unlike you, I have an actual education.
4. I'm the same person I was when I was your hero.
5. You're still the same sad little troll you were then, aspiring to things well beyond your reach.

This is the big one:

6. You are still obsessed with me. It's sad, really.

Even you don't believe that. You're still fuming over the time I exposed your unfathomable ignorance! Seriously, seek help. You're unbalanced.

That's ... an interesting take. You don't know many educated people, do you?

Who am I kidding? Of course you don't!

Keep crying, little troll. Maybe someday you'll get over it.

Someone in the White House is getting another shiny gold trinket/trophy!

Doubt it, their operating costs are always going to be higher than cables laying in the ground, it will always have lesser total capacity, the latency, even if good, will always be higher and it will always be subject to more interference issues.

The idea that Starlink is anything close to a replacement for a dedicated fiber line is a pipe dream. It can both be a marvel of technology with amazing capabilities and providing amazing service for people who need it and still not be comparable to dedicated fiber and that's OK, these things do not compete, they complement eachother.

The idea it just has to be a replacement is Musk making his personal insecurities everyone elses problem yet again.

but.. but...It has adorable eyes!
what kind of monster are you?!

Personally I think they should go further to limit power banks. There is limited value in allowing them.

Commercial airlines already do.

Not such a rare problem and only getting worse.

The point seems to be making reasonable tradeoffs to mitigate risk rather than eliminating it entirely.

TFA is about malfunctioning equipment.

I presume this wont appeal to normal chumps who promiscuously install social media and other garbage apps.
For people who just want a phone, this is very welcome.

I'm pretty sure I'm an outlier, but I do know factually, there are many people like me who have zero social media, zero garbage apps, no games.
i.e. all my clients. Other than base utilities, I just have web browser, email, a few messaging apps and even a regular mobile number and sms. Bam. I'm done.
Fairly sure that's what a lot of people want... and this will give it to me without the technical challenges of defeating a locked bootloader.

I don't need an app store. F-droid had everything I needed and plenty more horrible junk, I'll never ever want or need. Droid-ify I found quite useful. But if I had to sideload every app, that would be fine too. You don't need an app store to have a functional phone for communication.

I think Micros~2 would fit.

Which is why you always coat certain things with contact poison. They'll learn their lesson real quick. Or not. It depends on if they make their saving throw.

Thanks to Google overstepping by attempting to exert control over what is allowed to be executed hopefully there will be much more of this.

That was why I became a computer expert.

about time. sick and tired of our digital overlords, overlording us.
Thou shalt not install what you want.
Yeah, fuck you google.
Saves me a lot of horseshit, de-googling, or getting past locked bootloaders.

but reporting from The Block indicates liquidating that much value from the holdings would have proven difficult due to market dynamics.

How is this supposed to be a replacement for cash if this small amount changes the market dynamics by selling it? Transactions far larger than that take place thousands of times each day without issue using real money.

"Looks like you want to kill me, would you like some help with that?"

That's the kind of help I'd be happy to have!

You needn't even read the summary to answer your question. It's right there in the title - "attachable" implies "detachable", right?

That said, I agree with your basic sentiment. I use a Lenovo because it has a Trackpoint and a great keyboard, and it's Linux-friendly. I'd have about as much use for a cute AI add-on as I have for Windows 11.

IMO, the damage this trend will inevitably cause will be partly justified if it ends up killing companies such as Adobe. It might be worth living with buggy, spastic, unmaintainable shit just to see those fuckers go down in flames.
