Anyone want to start a pool on if that will be Oracle itself or someone else?
Is this how the Battlefront was in the days of yore? If so mission accomplished

I'm not sure how his holdings were setup but if he'd just stayed long over the same period he would have been fine. Worst case they would have only doubled in value or something

He wasn't a store worker (bad joke, sorry) he was the lawyer in charge of their insider trading prevention efforts
In my case we have a Samsung Galaxy S9 (one of the fastest and most common Android devices) and a Nokia 6 (not super common but basically a commodity Qualcomm phone running close to vanilla Android)
"glitches" include things like Maps just crapping out randomly and/or Bluetooth crashing when you try to make/answer a call
These would be obnoxious enough under normal usage but become downright dangerous distractions if you are driving which more than defeats the purpose.
Somehow my older vehicle with a built-in GPS and basic Bluetooth functionality always seems to work.

It's almost like the fragmented Android ecosystem almost guarantees a different experience for everyone 
JFC, they are taking the long road to mouse support.
Its a very "courageous" trackpad

As it should be. Touch is solution looking for a problem when it comes to productivity oriented platforms
Sure you can use it but now you've got a laptop with a smudgy screen. I might use the touchscreen over a trackpad in a pinch but I have a small mouse in my backpack I usually use
Everyone has their phone in a huge ugly case with a screen protector and the glass is cracked despite all that
My meetings have a show participants button as of this morning at least
Its right next to the "hang up" button in the call
Sure it is. People just cant always afford to replace the phone or aren't sufficiently motivated to go through the hassle. It doesn't mean they *like* it when its cracked, scratched or smudgy
PC world is kicking ass these days. Thanks, Dr Su
Mobile is a bit boring and disappointing in my book. Too many gimmicks (including thinness) that jack up price and reduce reliability/usability
Lumia 700 (in its day) is still the best phone I've ever owned
There shouldn't be an app for that:
Kovaluu's Beats and Loops app uses your phone as a drum pedal
:facepalm:
I think the problem with this idea is pretty obvious.

Perhaps he's started shorting himself as a final middle finger to the SEC
You only lose money when you sell (shorts are other people's money). So he could short against other people and still be fine when the value recovered (and use the proceeds on a buyback to boot)
Of course it was would be trivial to get caught if he did the trades in his own name so it seems unlikely.

Hardly. Android has the market share since carriers stopped subsidizing new phones so heavily
There just isn't much to talk about. Both mobile OSS are garbage in their own ways but everyone is locked in to one or the other and there is no alternative
Cool. I can find graphs too:

MacOS was just nix by proxy. Supporr died because Apple cares less about Mac than their users do.
Anyhow this sub has been pretty dead for a while.
Maybe not to the same degree of popularity though. A new breed of zealot emerged when they moved to a NeXT based OS
Fair enough. I should have used the plural form as zealotry increased all around.
Oh the one where they depicted PCs as the tool of big brother/conformists?
Even though you had a broad choice of hardware and OS providers on PC and exactly one for Apple
An apt comparison considering how prevalent iOS products have become. The containment was insufficient and they are endemic now
Maybe though it seems a nasty loophole to be able create an anti-competitive market and *then* grow it into a monopoly without being subject to the same scrutiny that they'd get from doing it in the traditional order.
The stores weren't meant to be profitable - they were meant to be showrooms. Windows Phone is dead and Surface is getting good placement at other retailers now.
What else do they need to sell in a physical store of their own?

The dealer will usually have a nice waiting area with TV, coffee and wi-fi. I'll take that over saving a few bucks
No its not bad. Its beyond bad. Intel doesn't even have high power 10nm parts available yet. Let me know when they are running them in volume on desktops/servers
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel ... lf-of-2021
Its even possible that you might be able to buy a 5nm high power AMD product before a 10nm Intel desktop/server parts are available.
Edit: 10nm Xeons might slip out Q4 2020 or Q1 2021 but I'm not holding my breath
Yeah that's a hot take.
Facebook isn't any more culpable than Twitter, Reddit, or any other form of open information platform not to mention entities like CNN who have engaged with the FUD to keep their ratings up.
I don't care for them myself but I dont think they need to be destroyed for not banning Russians and nutjobs from their platform
