a piss take, but those problems and mechanisms are in motion on a grand scale so it’s almost worthless to blame consumers, that corporations can turn them to blame themselves is a cool trick

so if you're mad because the $15 a month i pay to youtube somehow has to do with the us military using an open source tool developed by google you're going to flip your wig when you find out 50% of the federal taxes i pay go to "defense"

as an american im fine if i can pay $15/m to get no ads in youtube and music streaming for the family and if it kills a few foreigners well thats just what being an evil empire is all about sorry foreigners but if its a choice between me getting no ads and you not having drone launched missile attacks at your wedding you cant blame me for picking no ads since youre only getting married once but i watch videos all the time

anthonypants posted:is there a google pay tier where you can pay for their service but without them reselling your browsing habits of course not. the most valuable users would be the ones to take advantage of it so if it were flat priced you'd have a lot of users paying way less than what their browsing info is worth. but variable pricing matching your profile value would simultaneously discriminate against just about every protected class imaginable.

This will switch between "Mute," "Ring," and "Vibrate." This doesn't just control the call ringer volume; it actually controls all notification chimes. So, why is it called "Calls?" I can't remember the last time I made a phone call, and according to Nielsen, texting usage surpassed phone call usage all the way back in 2008. The phone call is dead. Call it "notifications." anthonypants fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Mar 10, 2018 |

arse technical has a hot takequote:Google just remembered that its smartwatch operating system, Android Wear, exists. While we're not getting new hardware or software, the OS is being rebranded to "Wear OS by Google." There's a new name, a new logo, and a new website to promote the brand. ron amadeo is the only android user who is actually self-aware enough to recognize that it's bad

Endless Mike posted:ron amadeo is the only android user who is actually self-aware enough to recognize that it's bad e: lol from today quote:The one thing Wear has going for it is Google's recruitment of fashion brands to make Android Wear watches. Consumers can pick from brands like Fossil, Guess, Gc, Hugo Boss, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, and others. While they are mostly all the same hardware underneath—with crippling SoC deficiencies, poor battery life, and stagnant software—they do at least come in a variety of styles.

hobbesmaster posted:quoth Wikipedia I was talking about tiny with respect to running an os like android. a cortex m0 is a microcontroller. it does not have an mmu. it does not have caches. it does not have a user mode. it can address tiny amounts of RAM. it is an in-order single issue architecture with no speculation or branch prediction. it is incapable of running a Linux-based system.
