Doesn’t FDroid still not allow automatic updates due to restrictions in Android?

Meanwhile yes the Samsung galaxy store has extra power over other store alternatives because they are a powerful OEM and can modify Android as they like.

Other OEMs (ones that are often not able to use Play Services) also have their own 1st party app store. Amazon is one, but many others exist in China.

What you call politics (US political “issues”) and politicking (the act of seeking and organizing power or influence) are different things.

Maybe US political issues have no spot in tech but politics are a part of being human.

What the commenter above was referring to is special API access for Nokia and a few key third-parties that regular devs were not allowed to use.

It was a strange time for Windows phone. Agreed, such a shame, it was an interesting UX-first design for its time.

Kudos for immersing yourself in it!

5700 in my server works just fine too, no difficulty setting it up. Running in Docker. Even does HDR tone mapping!

Broadcom is actually terrible, the Rpi foundation just had an in.

NXP deserves some credit for good board support packages and documentation.

If only they banned sending mail and reading the newspaper we could have saved those kids.

(you missed the point of my comment)

Having a phone is an important part of participating in society like it or not. Not everyone has a happy home life of a home at all, and flatly banning anyone from owning a phone (purchased themselves) under 16 could further endanger young people already struggling in a dangerous situation. Or even just maintaining a job to survive.

Of course I don’t want to live in a world where under 16s need to work, or need to discretely contact help, but we have to face reality. Let’s fix that stuff rather than ban communication devices…

For companies/employees that choose to share (eg in hopes of getting recruited to a new job) you can even get individuals information from that site. That includes actual job titles.

These companies tend to be very light on administrative roles anyway. So the ratios make sense even if they just laid off 5% of staff in total.

What on earth do you mean no evidence? I mean just check layoffs.fyi which specifically tracks this.

This is very much the bell curve meme, but those in the know would be aware that the US military had been working on it for a while now.

Steer by wire has been around for about 10 years now, mainly in Nissans.

Q50 was first. But it had a tiny mechanical backup. Toyota will bring a full system in Lexus models this year.

Its wild.

Dude I’ve never been on an A380 this may be my chance

I know you’re not the owner of the project, but for your knowledge this is a static page hosted on Github Pages. There’s no “responding to demands” like a traditional web app!

Curious, why the cloudflare analytics?

I like that your emoj or Unicode whatever displays for me as OBJ

Its very web 4

Some 12yo’s discover it through things like Minecraft and arguably that’s the best time to start.

If someone put a “Redstone circuits” unit in a general science class in grade 7, and spent just one day talking about the real-world applications think it would be a success.

The entry level work is definitely considered low value, and I can see why, but I don’t think it’s any different than a first year accountant or lawyer for example.

Of course the big accounting firms are also starting to rely on outsourcing and foreign hiring strategies but semiconductor has been doing this for 25+ years already.

And accounting is not really a strategic sector
crucial for developing advanced businesses, high value consumer products, and military technologies…

Its a big missed opportunity that will affect the west for decades to come.

There is also an education gap. For whatever reason, this type of work is considered extremely niche in North America and even if 100% of local ECE graduates were hired there would still be both a labour and skill shortage.

Also the majority of the people in the local education programs I’ve seen are also studying from abroad, so they need a visa once they graduate to actually do the work.

Its odd, since it is such a strategic industry, that there is not a more clear strategy here beyond just hiring abroad to fill the massive gaps.

In some ways these companies benefit from the extra power they have over their workers when they depend on employment for their right to stay in the country, but eventually the companies just end up looking like a less promising risk to take versus just going to work in other countries.
