BlackBerry, Windows CE, and Symbian devices were all already around as smart phones at the time. When the iPhone initially launched, it's revolution was a streamlined form factor. Their was no app ecosystem at launch. I would say th

How do guests/children/people in public spaces consent to it? It's a gross violation.

They know many things I don't. I can easily assume they have a specific reason to make a public statement that is within their interests. Without any reports/prospectus/booked contracts, it's just marketing/spin.

No projections/information/analysis. The statement from someone with a vested interest in this demand lasting an extended period of time (including the statement that demand will continue past 2030).

People share links to Instagram with me. It isn't something I seek out myself.

I have Firefox setup to not launch apps on android with permission. I don't have Instagram/Facebook/etc installed. Attempting to view a Instagram link on mobile is the most hostile thing in existence. You essentially can&#

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be compensated for your work, but for people like myself which use a cloud managed DB solution (GCP CloudSQL PostgreSQL) it means something like this would never be available. I consider AGPL a poison

Some thoughts for framing. Are data centers a national security risk? How is that different than the national electrical grid who h is already critical to national security. It sounds like the national grid is failing its purpose due to

I have had good success with my dell montiors over the years. Only problem is they are not created equal, they sell to every level, entry/cheap office/gamers/high end docks/color calibrated/etc. I have stuck to th

How important is "the best" OLED vs the second best or 100th best OLED? I am personally ok not buying the bleeding edge to not get malware onto my OS.

Two things can be true. The data centers can be driving up electricity costs, causing pollution, planning issues, and computer hardware shortages _and_ people can be finding the tools useful.

My assumption would be, when there is a large corpus of crash reports for a certain configuration of hardware, knowing if it's a hardware failure, driver bug, or software incompatibly, is pretty hard. So it's probably easier to c

Somewhere between ~15-75+ billion USD. Higher end if you want to include the hardware R&D/etc, which is arguably core to their metaverse concept. I love the idea that they don't even have a product _called_ metaverse. Most

When I spec'd a M1 air for my partner back in the day, even though she didn't really need it, I made sure to get the 16gb model for the longevity. Devices shouldn't be disposable toys. Apparently I had better foresight than

Low cost carrier. Think Ryanair. Competition from the rest of the market and bad management put them in a bad position, with the most recent war causing unsustainable fuel issues. Other airlines may be able to double/triple their p

I honestly want to follow you around for a day. I am reserved with how I engage with technology. It needs to be making my life better, not extracting value from me. Tech for tech alone is no longer exciting to me as it once was.

Thank you for the reality check. I like to assume people are coming from a certain baseline on HN, but I sometimes forget that certain topics have a passionate user base represented.
