Regarde Aduck posted:isn't it only the US where apple has a huge market share, it's like 20%-30% everywhere else? I think it's a fair bit higher than that everywhere. I suspect in the West especially and even higher in english speaking countries.

Since too many people use Androids, even the people who own iPhones do all their messaging through Facebook Messenger, or Viber, or Telegram, and so iMessage gets left by the wayside and no such problems exist.

Nah, back in my dating days, it mattered to grad students if you had blue bubbles when you traded numbers.

In Training posted:Why does iOS have 99.5% market share in dprk???? It could be a data collection error, like there is only one reported NK ip or something. I looked around and found an old 2020 article that said top 3 NK phone brands are all North Korean brands, so I assume all dumb phones and android phones in domestic brands.

Sapozhnik posted:My father complained at one point that vegetables in the Brezhnev era had so much nitrate in them that they would cause cancer and that people would have to buy edible vegetables on the black market or something like that. this raises the question of where exactly these non-nitrated vegetables are coming from, especially in sufficient quantities to be competitive with the legal market

People in the west are unable to grasp that things here are poo poo because of reasons that are entirely our own faults, instead it has to be sinister Russian sabotage. I want to bring up a recent example from my own country. A train carrying iron ore along an important rail line derailed and the news were quick to point at the Russians: https://www.nrk.no/nordland/ofotbanen-stengt-igjen-_-blir-etterforsket-som-sabotasje-1.16779974 quote:Researcher about possible sabotage on the Ofot line: - A targeted signal to deter us A month later it became clear that the Norwegian railway network agency had known that there was a problem with this rail line for a long time but just hadn't fixed it lol

Starsfan posted:The fact that the proposed timeline for the procurement and the delivery of the shells keeps getting moved back should raise some eyebrows.. originally they were supposed to start arriving near the beginning of March if I remember correctly REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home. The Soyuz landing zone has since become an artillery shell storage for the African Union. In order to move the shells and facilitate Major Abacha Tunde's return we need your assistance.

Source: Politico EU https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-needs-to-be-more-open-about-sharing-battlefield-truths-says-us-diplomat-james-rubin/ Ukraine needs to open up about hard truths from battlefield, US diplomat says BY ANNE MCELVOY AND PETER SNOWDON MARCH 28, 2024 6:45 AM CET A senior U.S. diplomat responsible for countering disinformation says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should be more open to disclosing information about the state of the war in Ukraine. The advice comes as fighting intensifies amid Russian gains in key areas and waning international focus on the conflict. James Rubin leads the U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center, which highlights propaganda and disinformation efforts by hostile states and other actors targeting America and its allies around the world. Talking to POLITICO’s Power Play podcast, Rubin said “sometimes the Ukrainian government may resist the kind of freedom of information that’s normal for us. “Some days, war reporters report things that aren’t necessarily in the interest of Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” he continued. “But in a democracy that we hope and increasingly see Ukraine becoming … they can understand that having war reporters cover the war, even if occasionally there’s bad news, is a far better life than the controlled environment that Russia has placed on all of its people.” While Ukrainian and Western journalists have pressed for greater access to the front lines, authorities in Kyiv have limited reporting from sensitive zones in the conflict and have denied a stronger role for state broadcasting, on the grounds that the restrictions serve to stifle Russian disinformation campaigns. Rubin, however, suggested that better access would strengthen Ukraine’s urgent case for more help from its allies. He added that while the country is “moving in the right direction,” it is not yet “a fully fledged democracy” — with some adverse consequences for the flow of information...

Ardennes posted:The big complaint is usually cars (which are priced in international terms) and electronics, in particular, usually people have to buy a budget Chinese phone rather than the latest iphone. To be fair, I live in a "rich" country and I still have to have a budget Chinese phone (not an export one, budget on the Chinese market) because they're better than the more expensive brands and money is tight. $300 a month rent would be heaven for me.
