Google Pixel 4a with 128GB storage could be priced at $349
+Warwagon and 3 others reacted to dead.cell for a topic
Well, they kinda need to push for $350 at this point. Otherwise, you'd be having to choose between a phone with 3 years support vs. 5 at least, coupled with the SD730 vs. flagship level CPU. Considering many Android users have opted for a better CPU at the cost of the camera, I don't think it's unrealistic to expect people to continue to go that route, especially when the cameras compared are a lot closer to each other than Pixel vs the Pocophone for example. At the end of the day, buy what suits you and all that of course. I just think Google needs to do this to stay competitive.4 points -

dead.cell and 2 others reacted to tsupersonic for a topic
I'd rather have an 855/855+ over the 865. Qualcomm struck out with the 865 as it requires a mandatory separate chip for 5G and 4G modem. 865 is more power hungry (they have bigger batteries) and thus why any phone including the 865 costs more. Plus 5G is not really a huge deal in 2020 or even the next year.3 points -
Mandrake Android malware has been stealing data since 2016
dead.cell and 2 others reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Android malware news is nearly a daily cycle, and sadly hasn't gotten better over the years, in fact worse as more malware is discovered. This truly hurts my heart for all the people affected, and it is a shame that this is where the tech industry and society are at today. No matter how people felt about WP or feel about iOS, instead of defending Android and Google, Android fans should have been screaming the loudest at Google. One good thing about the Surface Duo is the hope that Microsoft will be able to fix some key issues with the OS that Google has ignored for 10 years. Microsoft has made Chromium better, and the Linux distributions they securely support on Azure have also benefited over the past few years. Maybe it is wishful thinking, but it would be nice if Microsoft could get Google to take security seriously on Android. If not, what happens when an old flaw is used by hackers to take out or brick 80% of the world's phones?3 points -

US government moves to block Huawei's international chip supply, China could retaliate
Depicus and one other reacted to Paul1979UK for a topic
I think it's already too late, the damage is already done, China will look for alternatives to US tech and services and many other countries are likely to do the same. The only ones this is really hurting is the US. The truth is, this is a power play, the US sees China as a threat to US power in the world, the US tried to put Japan down in the 80's because they worried they were taking over, they've tried to take on the EU for decades but are not getting anywhere with them because the EU can fight back and now they see China as a threat. The truth is, the US doesn't like any power that could be a threat to the US and it doesn't matter what government style system they are, if they see you as a threat to US power around the world, they will target them and this is why the US is losing now, there are other powers that are big enough to fight back and Trump doesn't like that.2 points -

Tuskd and one other reacted to dirtyvu for a topic
I'm tired of people falling for this "midrange" marketing speak. A flagship doesn't suddenly become midrange at the end of the year. There is no expiration date. I love my Samsung S10+ which also has the same 855. If you look at benchmarks from year to year, chipsets don't change that much no matter how much Qualcomm or Apple would like to brag. I think my S10+ can go toe to toe with any phones this year including the S20 line.2 points -

At this point, I expect Trump's campaign will be ramping up the "evil China" scapegoat in preparation for the November elections. He needs someone to blame for inaction against the virus, and the devastating effects here. That is not to say that the virus didn't start in China due to negligence and unsafe practices and conditions, but the US had a chance to respond, and instead Trump used that opportunity to tell us it was an impeachment hoax, and then that it was real, but would be gone in a few weeks, even while being warned of the impending danger.2 points -

Why are you guys going on about the processor? The 855 processor is no slouch of a processor. There are plenty of flagship phones running with it. The bigger picture for me is using a phone with this new form factor. How will you manage to use this with one hand and will it be too cumbersome to manage? The 855 will only need to do what it can do with Android. The rest is to be determined.2 points -

Microsoft releases Windows 10 build 19628 to the Fast ring from the release branch

Oh come on, are the GPU temperature and the hard disk type considered new features? Apart from WSL 2, and those two, everything else came with 19H2 in which they proved they can have UI-wide changes through service updates. When you have a pool of decade old features in the planning (ability to hook to Ribbon UI, pin separate taskbar items in multi-monitor setups, provide the successor of NTFS, rectify registry, redesign File Explorer), and other Windows 10 specific pending tasks (streamline context menus, provide Sets, complete Control Panel migration etc.) and you keep offering build after build with bug fixes for 1,5 year straight, then what does it mean if not that they did what they have already done a trillion times in the past: abandoned ship? If they just want to release bug fixes, fine. What's the point of insider program and full system updates, though? Whether you, I, or anyone else likes it or not: something that was not there before, but is now, is defined as a feature. Personally? I rather see them clean up the mess they already have before adding any new huge features.Still dealing with two control panels, still dealing with an inconsistent UI, still dealing with risky updates.... Not only that but the emphasis on accessibility is laudable. Narrator sees improvements practically all the time ...1 point -

Huawei trade ban with the US extended through 2021

Other countries but bans on different companies from time to time, there's no reason to make it sound like it's a US only thing. But in this case it 100% is US specific! No it's not... There's a long list of countries that have either banned or are considering bans of Huawei products.

Epic Games shows off Unreal Engine 5 on the PlayStation 5
AmazingRando reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Ya, interesting Sony got them to demo it on the PS5 - especially considering the technology Unreal is demonstrating was created by Microsoft. (Both Nanite's and Lumen's core technologies come directly from Microsoft and DirectX.) It is encouraging to see the PS5 and Sony supporting these technologies, as things like this could have meant a massive difference in visual quality. I'm very much an Xbox first gamer, but like the idea that everyone gets access to the latest technologies. However, for anyone curious, yes the Xbox Series X also fully supports these technologies, and a bit more.1 point -

Elon Musk defies lockdown order and asks to be arrested
Adam Skelton reacted to TheGhostPhantom for a topic
Sure and if Tesla moves his factory (which by the way shouldn’t have been built in California at first place) all those employees will lose their jobs anyway ou hit the real issue dead center on it's head. The real issue is Telsa built a plant in a state which has some of the highest taxes in the country. Instead of going to a state which has a balanced budget, Telsa built a plant in a state which cannot even keep their streets clean due to the homeless drug problem. They certainly could be just as active in whatever political landscape they wanted in another state. Now if they close the plant there will be more people without a job. They didn't have to build a plant in CA the type of jobs they are offering would attract those people to move to themanywhere.1 point -

Lots of non-tech news on this site over the years.
