From what I watched of the presentation, there was also a fair bit of moving around. In my studio, we primarily used it as a way to hide main camera adjustments in the edit, usually from the interviewee changing positions, slouching, etc. G

You're right! They suck, this is the first time they've ever built a phone and they have no history of working devices to prove themselves!

The bigger problem with Qualcomm is that they're primarily the reason why devices only got a two year span of updates and poor support. Each board built for each phone still had to get the software support starting with Qualcomm before

> The weirdest thing in the Google presentation is that several sections had presenters talking to a different camera than facing the screen. That just felt very strange. B-Camera angles are common in interviews. It's to help create

TLDR: Nope. > However, I don’t believe anything was actually stolen from, copied from, or even directly inspired by ART+COM.

Mint and Pop are still Ubuntu based, not to ignore the Debian underpinnings of Ubuntu. I've stuck with xUbuntu because it seems to be the most sane of the bunch when it comes to defaults and preinstalled software. Once installed, it do

Anecdotal but no less amusing: I upgraded my desktop and used the extra parts to rebuild my Windows 10 system, the nearly cutting edge hardware on the newly rebuilt main desktop all worked when I reinstalled xUbuntu 20.04 on the new SSD. Th

When the glued batteries first started showing up, they were showing up in devices with security screws where bits were not available and the expectation of being able to swap batteries out at will. (Macbooks vs regular Laptops of the day)

Yep. This seems to be the point the "FUD! FUD!" criers are ignoring. Apple has a long, continuous history of locking down hardware. Never having a bootloader unlockable iDevice, unibody, glue, soldered on components that are tradi

Bootcamp is not allowing someone to fully boot any OS from the device. It is still a walled garden that limits hardware access, preventing the user from getting full performance out of the device. > Perhaps if you weren't so hostile

Forcing people who have broken their new iPhone's screen to trade it in for a refurb because no third party repair shop can swap out a serialized display isn't user hostile?

What I'm saying is that I feel it's a better use of man hours of open source advocates to code for hardware from companies that support OSS and not one that is viciously hostile to its users.

Perhaps you should expand your definition of what 'unsupported hack' means instead of taking it as an insult. I support the work of anyone who gets Linux running on any hardware, I condemn the difficulty in which Apple unnecessari

No, it doesn't. It pisses on Apple for being an incredibly and unnecessarily restrictive company.

I disagree. Intel and AMD both contribute heavily to the Linux Kernel. This means that on the vast majority of Intel or AMD based systems, you can boot from USB and have a working system. Apple doesn't even release documentation on t
