I mean geek gifts have been a thing for at least that long.

Wrong.

Not even sure what you're talking about concerning AirPlay. What Google implemented was AirDrop, not AirPlay.

Regardless, I've used Google's Implementation going both to and from my Macbook Pro. It's the real deal. Works beautifully.

That's why you're sitting at a zero score on your post. Do more research next time.

I mean if you're going to count mobile, why not count any use frontend use of backend servers as well. After all, slashdot.org is running on Linux, so you're using it now on a desktop or mobile. We don't do this because the argument gets absurd.

Desktop generally counts desktop and laptop type computers and most of them aren't running Linux, they're running WIndows, MacOS, ChromeOS and some kind of Linux (or "Unknown", I suppose). You could count ChromeOS into Linux but that still doesn't beat out Windows or MacOS. Not by a longshot.

Mishaal Rahman reported that this is likely Google's reengineering of AWDL, not Wi-Fi Direct as has been reported by Ars Technica and others.

"The query began returning duplicate entries."

My mind immediately went to, "somehow f'ed up a JOIN".

...design has become a shit show since they introduced the liquid glass stuff.

...apparently they are too stupid to understand that kids could just go to school an hour later in the winter.

I would love a pair of athletic sunglasses with a good action camera ability to add to my bike rides. If they do it right, they could put GoPro out of business.

I don't give a shit about the game play/AR aspects. Just let me see through, maybe with some heads-up Strava or RideWithGPS navigation. That's all I need.

The US has access to a lot of lithium. That's never been the problem. The issue is that the US has virtually zero lithium refining capacity. China has lots.

Marketing wonks promising features that cannot be delivered. Apple really has become IBM.

The ride's been over for at least the past decade. Tim Cook was never Steve Jobs and the iPhone was really never all it could be.

If you get to the boot loop, you can reset the device according to its factory reset instructions. Not a great solution, but it isn't bricked. get th

If you don't the bootloop, you can fix it with a Connect/Sync cycle on your watch.

Bricked, by definition, means unfixable, as in "turn it into a brick". This, while not great, isn't bricked.

Er no.

Companies only want minimum competence to do the job and that's exactly what they get typically or sadly, worse because they assumed boot camp is enough to gain competence. Source: I worked in IT for 40 years, much of that in a management capacity. I saw way too many incompetent H1-B workers who went to boot camp, far more than among the group of university trained US programmers. It's the reason we fired entire Indian based contractor companies.

In almost all the states in the US, there is at will employment. That is, a company can fire you for whatever reason.

So, you can think you're justified in catfishing your company all you want.

They'll still fire your ass and you'll have nothing to say about it.
