Why not?

It’s something that benefits both Android and Apple users by removing unnecessary restrictions.

Afaik, it costs 24k rub for 32GB to DiY. 40k for the cheapest DIMM kit I could find

You can never be too big to fail

P.S. No, I’m not saying that Nvidia’s going bankrupt

App store being the only option where you can install apps from is a major issue.

I live in an autocratic country and have to suffer from sanctions due to our officials’ abhorrent decisions.

Due to that, for example, none of the banking apps can be installed on iPhones. So, NFC is useless. Neither does it have anti-DPI apps to overcome censorship, afaik.

AI happened. It requires an immense amount of RAM and storage for data centers, and manufacturers don’t have enough production capacity to keep up.

Prices were going down because the consumer market didn’t have as much of a demand for both after covid.

I believe I’ve seen them announce that already, so, yeah

Not really an option considering it’s even more locked down.

Hope Valve comes up with something eventually, after all they’ve been getting into x86 emulation for mobile ARM chips lately. Granted, it was for VR, but still.

They also already have installation from external sources turned on by default.

Why the hell are we babying people who turn it off? They read the warning, they know the risks.

You don’t need a credit card for a dev account. You do, however, need to have a “business” attached. Luckily, that business they’re asking for doesn’t need to be verified, so it can be just a random string of letters.

Still bs that you have to go through all of that just to install apps you want.

fixed, ty

I don’t trust Microsoft to make apps on their OS work as well as on x86. Their support so far with X elite/pro chips was very telling.

Credit where credit is due, Apple worked hard with other developers to make the transition to ARM possible. Microsoft doesn’t seem to be bothered to do that much.

It does, but in my experience, it’s way worse for recollection.

Electronic devices are superior when it comes to storing and organizing data, which makes it a better tool if you prefer to use active recall as a memorisation method.

I had literal books worth of notes until switching to a tablet (a stylus keeps the benefits of writing, btw). And going over them when preparing for exams was an absolute nightmare.

Proxy is a step below VPN since it doesn’t tunnelise data.

Anti-detect browsers. Do you mean Tor? It’s a decent solution, albeit the slowest one.

What people use to bypass the great Chinese firewall is VPN with VLESS protocols. Unlike usual VPN protocols, those are specifically made to bypass censorship.

Any government already has all of that information, so, no.

By giving it to a company, you just increase the risks of info leakage.

A little background info:

Russia’s been sponsoring one of its oligarchs’ business by eliminating their competition.

First, they restricted YouTube’s speed to an unusable state to force people to switch to RuTube (they didn’t)

Now they’re trying to force people to switch from WhatsApp (and potentially Telegram) to MAX, which they want to be Russia’s version of WeChat.

Add the fact that our politicians are obsessed with controlling all of the media and you’ll get the gist of it.

Ads, complete lack of privacy, kremlinbots.

It used to be the platform that did one thing good. Build communities. Not it does a lot of things, but all of them badly.

Not to mention that their owners are the main reason why “YouTube works bad, because Google’s servers are degrading”. Basically, Roscomnadzor (an official government censorship service) has been making YouTube unusable for over a year now to make people switch to VK Video or Rutube (both owned by same entity) whilst pretending that it doesn’t. Did it work? According to them, yes. According to reality, however, the vast majority just switched to using VPN.

It’s more convenient than dragging a cursor across the screen. Works especially great with a 360° hinge.

Have you ever built PCs? Macs are significantly more expensive for the same spec

The rest I agree with, it doesn’t help that Windows has been steadily going downhill with each new version…

I have a good guess on how this would actually happen:

PM: We need this

Specialist: makes this (doesn’t check results)

QC: Looks good (but doesn’t actually check)

Some updates later may further break the functionality. And as long as numbers aren’t blatantly wrong (think 0s everywhere, for example) and nobody checks thoroughly enough, the issue will remain.

I have unfortunate experience of being a part of such a story, haha. There are ways to counter it. Mainly, their project documentation either wasn’t up to par or wasn’t used as a reference during creation and tests. Either way, it’s negligence.
