That is plain wrong, and on top of that, the CLOUD act doesn't really solve anything because if the order to obtain data is legal for the US arm but illegal for the EU arm, releasi…

Google doesn't need to compete. 'everyone' is locked into them via the Gapps (mostly Gmail and Maps) and Android ecosystems. Same with Apple, and Microsoft on the B2B side. It's on…

> except when you ask US/western models what happened at Tiananmen Square they'll give you an answer instead of being blocked by an authoritarian government. The Chinese models alr…

With the cost of electricity, hardware depreciation and tok/s it rarely makes sense to run locally.

We had that for many years. But banks stopped supporting their own payment solutions because despite not having to pay commission to Google, it was more expensive to support their …

Technically the security works, just for their threat model. An exploit would need root and root means you likely cannot pass attestation AFAIK. The fact that this same exploiter c…

In that case the internet is mostly due to the Brits (invention of packet switching at the NPL by Donald Davies). Cheers!

I mean, if you're really worried just test for support of certain features or absence of bugs that are only in the newest WebKit.

If you really want to power optimize, there's a special dmabuf-wayland backend that hands off compositing to Wayland. You lose some post-processing but your power use can drop from…

I've considered Zen, but the problem there is no Widevine, which means no DRM video. I do love the design and how the interface has vertical and pinned / favorite tabs as its found…

My biggest beef with Plex is that they've pivoted away from being a media server first and are trying to change into a streaming platform first, and because managers inside the com…

Yandex divested their Russian side of the business and are Dutch.

Are browser UIs themselves vectors for serious exploits? Orion uses WebKit and I assume they try to track as close to the release branch as possible. So if you trust WebKit, you ca…

APFS and BTRFS are objectively better than NTFS. Hell, even HFS+ and EXT4 already were. And then there is already the next generation knocking on the door. BcacheFS is really cool …

Windows 7 was also incredibly good. And yeah, there was some pretty neat stuff. Of Linux, macOS and Windows, Windows was the first to get GPU crash recovery, just chugging onward a…

I mean, in a vacuum, yes. But it made a huge splash with the OnePlus One, and they had some pretty nice phones since. Oppo, Vivo and Realme sound like those weird dropshipping Amaz…

It doesn't make sense because OnePlus is much more known in the West than either Oppo, Vivo or Realme. OnePlus also just sounds like more of a Western brand. It would have made muc…

OP wrote in the parent: ".. Fault-tolerant and highly available hardware must facilitate low-latency, single-threaded communication with high semantic density in order to achieve m…

The times I've pointed point out pretty blatant AI comments, I get nuked with downvotes. So often that I've stopped pointing them out. Before you say I'm just falsely calling them …

It's too bad you guys aren't incorporated in the EU[0]. Looking at that, Google is only allowed to protect its content with database rights for 15 years after publication, with "su…
