They make superb displays and excellent digital stills and video cameras. An awful lot of the content you see on youtube, TV and even in the cinema is being made on Panasonic Lumix cameras.
If the market and its value is expanding while your income remains stable it means you are losing market share. Your competitors are winning your customers or potential customers. That is not stability, it is stagnation, at best.
Fabulously sweet, juicy apples!
My phones were from the II & III series so maybe they have improved their support. On one phone I had they promised 2 full upgrades, only supplied one, and stopped even security updates. That's when I switched to Samsung even though I liked the Sony phones better. I recently got a full upgrade on my Samsung A52s 5G, a phone released in 2021. I think that was its third full version upgrade.
I agree but there are some forms which really can only be pretend meat i.e. the burger in a bun. I've been vegetarian for over 40 years and I like to I cook, mostly from raw ingredients - almost no pre-prepared stuff except noodles or pasta. Plant patties are the only meat substitute I occasionally buy because it's nice to eat a burger with onion, tomato, relish etc.
Great hardware. But almost zero support. I used to use Xperia phones. I loved them. Genuinely excellent design. Metal cases, fingerprint scanner on power button exactly where your thumb falls, nice performance, very good cameras and photo apps. Brilliant, fast, accurate GPS. But they are not even supported through two Android versions. They claim support for 2 versions and then don't do it, so in fact you get maybe 18 months support and can then just fuck off. This for phones which cost a lot! If they supported them like Samsung (2 full upgrades and 5+ years of patches even on phones which cost very little) I would still buy Sony. But they don't. That's why my current phone is a Samsung, not a Sony.
There is plenty of desktop/workstation hardware out there which performs brilliantly, cost a lost, is not cheap to replace but which does not have TPM 2 support. My desktop does but I still prefer Debian over Windows 11. My perfectly good core-i7 Thinkpad with 16GB RAM cannot run Win 11(!) so it dual boots latest Debian & Win 10. Microsoft puts up barriers to using its product just as the environment offers many alternatives. Very dumb. People are used to using different systems now. Different office suites, different message and mail and photo apps, and know it's fine. MS Windows is no longer *required*.
Thunderbird has a built in RSS client and it's fine.
It was shit already because Samsung's VoLTE has been proprietary for many years. Buy a modern Samsung, unlock the bootloader, install a ROM: say goodbye to the ability to communicate easily. Do people really want this? I'd love a modern device running lineageos or
Article features photo of 4 white middle aged men. Compare to any current advertising of tech/IT jobs or products. Duh.
Where are all the queer black non-binary activists who made Windows & Linux possible?
I wouldn't gnow as I don't gnuse it.
The kraziest thing is the huge number of applications & features whose name starts with a k, making finding them in menus a krapshoot, a klusterfukk and a kolossal waste of time.

Totally agree. I saw it in 1977 at the cinema (I was aged 10 or 11) and thought it was crap. Just another crappy cowboy film but in space with lots of lights and sounds. It was so disappointing. Wondered as an adult if I'd misunderstood it so went with gf to see it when it was re-released to cinema (late 90s?) I'd been right the first time. The cinema was full of grown ups, not kids, and the film was so lame people were laughing at it. We didn't stay until the end. It's clearly a kids' film and has plots and characters no better than Bonanza or High Chaparral.
