Re: We want to be a part of a community where our people want to live

If you'd bothered to read the third paragraph you'd know they're moving from Texas, not California, and wouldn't look so stupid.

Or maybe you still would.

Re: > punishing people for their political beliefs

I'd fire you for your incorrect English.

Re: China will soon match the west

Don't worry, they will never have as much Freedumb as the USA.

That is why they will beat you.

I prefer the term LIE.

Re: AI is "working"

I've never seen anything in the AI world that sees "accurate results" as significant.

Far better to halucinate some less truthy facts than bother with all that annoying correctness stuff.

Re: Pope catholic?

> it's usually a quick-and-dirty piece of borrowed code thrown in to make the app a "whole experience"

No it isn't. It is always an OS provided web view of some form. If that code is borrowed or shoddy your complaint is with Apple or Google.

No, just another cryptoscam company ignoring an inconvenient law.

Re: are there legal invasions ?

Consider D-Day... the allies invaded France to free Europe from the tyranny of Hitler.

You wouldn't call that an illegal invasion would you?

Re: The Financial Times piece put the deadline at 2027.

Yes, it really only affects governement systems. Consumers are not affected.

Gamers Nexus can get this right so why can't El Reg?

Re: 1,000 smartphones all hard at work

> cheap Android TV sticks

Even an expensive Android TV can't run all the apps an Android phone can run. By using stacked phone motherboards they can run any Android app. Since they don't need case, screen, etc and are probably buying from the back door at the OEM they are probably just as cheap.

Are these light sensors, heat sensors, oh maybe touch sensors? Or just maybe you meant censors?

Re: Xitter indeed

Your infosec people are all on Mastodon now.

Evil twat lies. News at 11.

Probably with a huge crack that appeared out of nowhere down the middle of the front screen.

A crack that requires an expensive screen replacement to fix and is not covered by warranty or Applecare.

Re: Once Upon A Time........

As much as I love the Z80... By your logic there was nothing wrong with a slate and chalk, you should be using them!

Re: It's not about choosing

No it isn't. Firefox is a separate codebase to Seamonkey, what you call Netscape, originally started as a separate project.

Re: Quailty Is Not ISO9000

And, even if your process and documentation are right ISO9000 doesn't prove you actually follow it.

I had no idea Bezos and Musk run Walmart and MS, whom runs which?

Re: AirDrop is a weird thing

Having someone in your contact list does not tell the Chinese government their identity and that anonymity is very relevant to them.

Re: Nothing more annoying

I have never used any service provided by Facebook but that doesn't stop them persuading web devs to include their spyware in sites I visit.

Re: Numbers

Some of them have an actual door rather than a plug to block the door frame like this one.

Re: I'm beginning to wonder...

Having found the issue you'[re talking about, the first thing you see on page 1 when you open the cover is an advert for... Musk. LOL

Also that futuristic car is 100% the Cybertruck.

Re: Whats wrong with crypto

Unlike your crypto that Beatles single can be played so it has actual utility beyond its supposed value.

Also Beatles singles are not currency so your analogy is nonsensical and invalid.

Re: Shocked?

> This is not technically Meta's fault,

Yes it is. It is absolutely Meta's fault since they encourage their users to use their spyware laden sites for everything.

You could just use Firefox on your PC. Open the video in a container or private tab where you have not signed in to Google.

Re: You guys still have 2G and 3G?

Given the arrogance inherent by only specifying "here" it is undoubtedly the US of A.

Re: Personally, I don't pay for ads.

I've been using Windows since the 80s and have never paid for it. Every install has been legit and not pirated.

I've also never had Windows show me an advert for anything other than a Windows upgrade or maybe Skype. I've seen similar adverts on the various Linux distros I've used since the 90s.

Re: Imagine paying Facebook to avoid adverts

Why imagine it? I have never visited Facebook or any other Zuck property.
