Quite the generalization there. At this rate my own house is a prison because I'm too lazy to be able to leave it.

>You're free to repair it on your own... If you can. You literally can't. It's proprietary software that you have a limited license to. This isn't like a deprecated Linux distro th…

Don't fool yourself. Google isn't some sort of cult. It's just common decency. One of the big reasons listed is that employees wanted to hear more about the China project, but it w…

Precisely, it isn't scalable at all. That's why they should get rid of the niche .

This kind of thing absolutely flys in bureaucracy. I guarantee your local bodega either doesn't have a sidewalk license (if they have stuff on the sidewalk of course) or only got i…
