they are mixing gigabits with gigabytes so that is confusing. but even then, the math is still wrong for the usb 2 speeds.

I think that if that was feasible a successful project would exist already to develop it. it is not like people does not want it to exist. sure, there are tons of projects making variations of existing browsers but none of them do much besides minor tweaks.

From the top of my head Servo is the closest one and it has a big head start since mozilla developed originally. and that is just an engine, not a full browser.

I think you underestimate the costs of development.

while they have made a lot of dumb decisions, they are also in an almost impossible situation. every time they try to diversify their income they get hammered hard by the community.

I’m so tired of the EPP. Also I wish these outlets where better at reporting anything related to the EU. do know there are parties like there are parties in the US? all this shit comes from the EPP.

There should be laws against poorly maintained office ACs.

there are regulation about this. in decent offices they regularly check things like air flow, speed, quality of the air, temperature , etc

enforcing them is a different story

the article is not a news story, it is a personal analysis. of course it will show the author’s opinion

also I don’t think they offer e2e encryption for what the UK demanded.

afaik they provide e2ee for messages and mail but not photos or drive, which apple did encrypt e2e when ADP was enabled.

the current law does not allow them to no comply. they can go to court, but they would be required to comply in the meantime.

unfortunately the UK law says not complying is a criminal offense, not just an administrative un compliance. so apple employees would be liable to criminal charges.

this is very bad but it’s the draconian UK laws the problem here.

I’m conflicted on what would have been the best course of action.

if they would have fought this (in private) I assume people would assume they were complying. so the only option would have been to break UK law and fight it publicly. I am not sure that was feasible.

but this also just creates a precedent for other countries push apple to do the same

they did define themselves as leeches recently

saying the gulf of Mexico is an US location is like saying the Pacific Ocean is an US location.

it is worse when you notice than other places with two names do not use that schema.

Google maps shows “Rio Bravo” only when in spanish not Rio Bravo (Rio Grande).

It’s reasonable to assume Google has been served that same request. it just has not been confirmed to any outlet.

Most platforms did not had e2e back in 2013. now most offer it (thought sometimes it is optional)

I prefer HDMI because it’s simple and it just works.

I disagree with this. if you use an older HDMI cable features introduced in newer HDMI versions might not work. DP cables work in any version.

I love e-bikes but also think that many of those are motorbikes in disguise. a 250w motor is enough for most people (excluding cargo bikes, of course). I totally agree with you with the rest of points. In general measures that harms adoption of bicycling are a bad idea

Bouldy believes in you!

I hate these kind of discussions. UNESCO released a report of over 400 pages full of research, recommendations, possible outcomes, etc. but here we are discussing just what people think when they hear “ban smartphones”

so, like SO?
