    The unlimited was actually capped at 1PB

    That honestly looks terrible. It's like their developers haven't heard about fluid design. Why is it only using 40% of the page for actual content, even after I collapse the annoyi…

    Poor Microsoft. They are so ethical. /s

    Why would that not be abused as a means of political oppression? You could just sue your opponents and it would be guilty until proven innocent.

    Cool, but at that point I would probably just stick with what I have until it can be natively supported, or see if their current config is easy to template myself.

    Arch and Alpine are the best distros in my opinion, however for most people Manjaro is going to be a much easier introduction to understanding the installation process. Package man…

    Sounds exactly like Kubernetes with all the vendor lock-in you desire.

    If they made a way to configure it using YAML I'd be tempted to switch.

    Pretty cool, but you'd think they would just have a Dockerimage ready to be deployed and a network driver or something similar for these types of challenges.

    Yes, have you seen the Pixel 4a? I got a Razer Phone 2 when they first came out for $399. It blows away most iPhones, especially in that price range.

    It was due to needing a specific version of AGESA, which also has to do with security and was likely related to DRM, hence why the game wouldn't boot.

    When the specs are the same or better on a phone that is $400 less you can actually afford to buy a new Google every 3 years and still save money.

    Absolutely, lots of people are loyal to certain brands or look for the best value/spec in Android devices and make their choice based on that. If people didn't care, everyone would…

    So you're suggesting that without Google specific proprietary apps and services that Android doesn't boot up and the phone can't be used with third-party apps?

    The game wouldn't even run for like the first 5 days because they required BIOS updates from manufacturers for the game to even work.

    I feel like large companies see developers/engineers like a commodity, give them a spoon and tell them to move a mound of sand. As soon as you tell them you have a shovel, they'll …

    The operating system is open source. You are trying to say Google apps and services are part of the operating system, but they aren't. I take it you've never installed a custom And…

    Because that is all the Google apps are really, are one iteration of a group of apps for functionality. You can always use F-Droid and install great open source alternatives.

    Does that mean that Linux needs to have Gnome to be considered an OS?

    It matters more than you think. No one expected Google to open source all their apps. Android has plenty of open source apps.

    Does this include JRE? I've noticed that the OpenJDK Docker Hub images and variants have a hard time releasing the latest JRE.

    Android Location API uses Google services to provide better location data using Wifi hotpsots and other devices. I wouldn't expect to be able to use Google services without Google.…
