Reddit has employees and servers in Europe, including EU countries. GDPR most definitely applies.

I don’t know about Windows, on Linux it’s at the function level, and some cases are tricky.

Every smart TV is a dumb TV too. Mine has some smart stuff, I think, but I have never used it, and it has never been online.

A lot of those are condos where you get cable and Internet bundles together, and you don’t even have a choice. Others might be getting a bundle but only using the Internet side. I was sick with the first for years.

Mad at Pepsi? Haha that’s a funny way to put it. He got fired when he butted heads with Sculley, the former PepsiCo president, that he had hired, and the board sided with Sculley.

Giving credit to Apple/NeXT for software made by a different company is creative. The same logic applied to Microsoft makes things interesting.

I’m aware of the history, but I don’t think you understood what I wrote. An app store was written for NeXT by an independent company, without Jobs’ involvement.

Would you give credit to Bill Gates for all windows software written while he was CEO?

Apple did not invent the term “app”, “app store”, or the concept of an app store. There was an app store called App Store for NeXT in 1991 that Jobs knew about, and many similar systems in the intervening years.

The only thing different about Apple’s app store was the restriction on users’ ability to install apps from other sources.

Jobs was great at business, not at tech.

Nice rant. I was born and raised in a “third world country” with better transportation than the US despite much lower density. In fact it would rank just under Oregon, so 39 stated are more dense than my country.

California does not have good public transportation, neither does a lot of the East Coast, for that matter. I have lived on both coasts and the Midwest, and visited over 35 states. Public transportation is mostly crap with a few exceptions in the core of a few Metro areas, and the NE.

Public transportation advocates want more than to add buses and trains, you are misrepresenting what we ask for.

It’s kind of funny how you are wrong in every way.

• Union workers earn 20% more.
• You shouldn’t work while injured. Worker’s comp is a thing.
• You pay a dime to get a dollar.
• It’s not abuse to take sick time, but you already stated people should work injured.

Thank unions.

The side car says this community is about technology news. I don’t think they should list everything it’s not, but maybe clarify if news about the tech industry are wanted or not.

I did not know the answer so I looked it up. Fiberglass is hard to recycle and it isn’t done much. A lot of nuclear “waste” is actually spent fuel which can be reprocessed and used again.

Obviously it would be better to improve recycling of fiberglass but as it stands today, nuclear waste might be recycled more often than fiberglass…

Legally the output of the training could be considered a derived work. We treat brains differently here, that’s all.

I think the current intellectual property system makes no sense and AI is revealing that fact.

As others have mentioned, the Galaxy S5 was water resistant and had a replaceable battery. Phones are generally not water proof, so don’t go dunking them in water expecting them to work. Use a case for that, also if it floats all the better.

Adding a sealant when you close it isn’t a huge chore, although it’s nice to be able to just replace the battery without any tools, it’s better than charging. Also it would still be water resistant until the first battery change.

Watches have replaceable batteries while having replaceable batteries, too.

As a side note, if you drop electronics in water, take the battery out before taking them out of the water, so that the short doesn’t destroy them. The battery will be toast, but that’s cheaper to replace.
