I probably wouldn't mind if that were the case but by "aiming for a more streamlined user experience" what they mean is that a shit-ton of stuff isn't getting ported across and will have to be managed with registry hacks.

Most people lack the math skills to even count up money properly to pay for their groceries, thus the ever increasing dependence on cards and phones to pay for stuff. What makes you think they'd have the skills to manage even basic spreadsheets without the proper training?

Gaps you could drive the Titanic through. Up-and-comings can only do better if they know better, but all the CS courses teach actively-insecure software development from the very beginning.

We'll never be rid of passwords because every CS course teaches people to create a Users database table with plaintext UserName and Password columns.

We'll never be rid of SQL Injection because every CS course teaches people to concatenate their SQL command strings together with tainted user data instead of using strongly typed Parameters.

It's about time Apple added the backchannel for remote control. iPhones have only been around since 2007 and in all that time you have been able to use QuickTime to capture stills and video from USB- or Wifi-connected iPhones.

What's next? Apple will reveal some magical new network sniffer that's based on the rvictl tool we've also had for USB- or Wifi-connected iPhones since 2007?

Out of 560 million accounts there are bound to be at least a few hundred Gmail "plus addresses" in there, i.e.: username+yourshittybusinessordomainname@gmail.com

Deliver me a Knowledge Navigator first, then we'll talk cars.

I agree but I don't think such a thing will exist.

I don't think this is a touchscreen - nothing else in the PlayStation lineup has touchscreen functionality and they don't mention it in TFA. You're basically paying $200 for a Wi-Fi-connected VNC terminal, without a keyboard, but with a DualSense controller sliced in half and glued to the sides.

And to top it off: even though this device's existence is streaming from your local PS5, Sony have already said it won't work with the PS5 Plus Premium games that you need to stream to your PS5.

You're holding it wrong.

The question isn't really whether AI writes code well, though, it's: does AI write code better than outsourced developers? Both are pretty low bars.

If the world's smartest and most well-funded software companies can't make this work with years of experience, we're nowhere close.

It doesn't need to be fully functional nor correct for businesses to turn a profit. "Near enough is good enough" is how all these schemes fly. If you need a non-Microsoft example here then look at Tesla and all the sales they've produced with their self-driving cars that aren't self-driving at all.

I was an active Perl user until probably 15 to 20 years ago. Once I landed a job where not everything was US-ASCII and Unicode data mattered Perl just became untennable. I can't say I miss it.

Yes, but I don't think that's a problem unique to Android. So really, it's not surprising that phones are starting to get these resource bumps - for a lot of people they are their main (or only) computer just with a smaller screen.

Was only a few years ago that certain DELL and Sandisk drives were failing when they each 32768 hours (about 3.75 years) and got an int16-overflow in their SMART data.

Doesn't matter how many feel-goods you get out of it: it's an employer-employee relationship. As an employee you're not family - even if you are - you're expendable and replaceable.
