  1. What part is a waste of money? If you're making use of a service, it's not a waste of money. A waste of money would be paying for it and not using it.

  3. UK telecom firms warn of blackouts if Huawei banned

    Why is everyone hating on Huawei? They comply with government audits, and they offer to provide source code to all their equipment to allow you to inspect, compile, and load it yourself. They should worry about other companies that aren't under such heavy scrutiny as Huawei, like TikTok, FaceBook and Google.

  9. UK telecom firms warn of blackouts if Huawei banned

    Because it is a company "backed" by the government of China, and they are not a regular company managed by corrupts and cretins. They are the cretins that kill people and they are good at it. Also, the spread of Coronavirus is thanks to the government of China. The spread of corona is due to many idiots in many countries across the world, of which the leader of your country is partially responsible for

    If you read the first sentence of the article, you would know that the "blackout" is not related to 5G, but from removing old Huawei infrastructure took quickly.

  15. I have nothing against people who write down thier passwords. I actually wish more people did. I'm far less worried about a thief breaking into someone's house and steeling all their passwords than i am about someone either forgetting a password or getting their account logged into because they use the same password everywhere. Whenever I'm helping someone remotely and we (as an example) log into google, I say "type in your email address", and they do. Then I say "type in your password", in which I'm thinking... wait for it... 3 ...2 ..."I never had a password" or "Oh, god I have no idea what my password is". Then they say, "Can I just type in a new password I want to use?" or "Can you change my password for me?". I say "No I cannot hack Google and change your password; we have to do "Forgot my password" and HOPE you have good recovery options" I've attempted on numerous occasions to try to show people something like LastPass, but I almost always INSTANTLY regret it as their eyes just fog over and they are totally lost. Even though it's not hard at all. Plus, all they usually end up doing is just saving the same password for every website in LastPass.

  16. Probably a lot to do with Samsung actually starting to provide timely updates to their devices. Now we just need a bit more support than two OS upgrades...

  17. It wouldn't have mattered - in fact, Bixby is hated MORE than Alexa. The problem with Alexa is that there are a ton of ways to leverage it that don't require devices at all (Alexa can even replace Cortana on Windows; no - I'm not kidding, so get your jaws off the floor; there's an Alexa plug-in in the Store.) Speaking of Alexa vs. Bixby, Amazon is working on exactly that - a direct replacement for Bixby - requested by Samsung's customer base - mainly for Tizen devices, such as smart TVs.

    We don't need 5G right now. We need cheaper plans, also most phones don't support 5G so I don't get the rush and the word "blackout" for me is fud.

    Because it is a company "backed" by the government of China, and they are not a regular company managed by corrupts and cretins. They are the cretins that kill people and they are good at it. Also, the spread of Coronavirus is thanks to the government of China. what are you ? where you come from? company "backed" by the government of China, ?? do you have proof ? they are not a regular company managed by corrupts and cretins. They are the cretins that kill people and they are good at it. ???? this is you personally intentionally evil against china and its people, This is a criminal act。you will be Prosecuted。 It is not a secret. Huawei has received a lot of loans and credits from banks controlled by the RPC. It is a big thing, considering that China controls the credits and usually filters and limits it. However, it is different of what the Whitehouse is claiming that Huawei is backed by the People Liberation Army but for a dictatorship country, it's practically the same. Oh so do you mean like all the kickbacks tax breaks and cheap labor (in China) that American companies like Google, Facebook and others get (while dodging taxes in other countries they set up their "shell" offices)? Oh okay.

  24. I can see a LOT of people falling for it. If only people would look at the address bar. Or even better, "Does your password manager, such as lastpass, match a passcard for that site" ... who am I kidding, they don't use password managers. Half the people, wouldn't even know what their password is for their Microsoft account.

    The deployment of 5G isn't just for the sake of mobile phones. It's for the IoT which will take off big time in the next decade.

  27. I'm not impressed with Apples long term MacOS support on older hardware.

    I am with you in this as well... I have a MacPro 2010 that I have to use the Catalina patch to install it. I have in there 32GB of ram, 8GB radeon 580. I have also a MacBook Pro 2012 that is supported by Catalina but it will not be supported on the next macOS upgrade.

  28. It never appealed to me either. I think part of their proposed benefit was to have Bite size episodes to watch in a small screen while you wait in a queue, airport, daily commute, etc. But then COVID-19 happened, and with most people stuck at home, then it lost the little appeal it had

  32. You make a bold claim that it's always Dems, Id ask you to back it up but you wont. Maybe you should ask yourself what happened when Trump who made the claim that Clinton got millions of extra votes that were illegal, had a team put together to prove it and ended up being disbanded cause they couldn't find ANY evidence of voter fraud claimed by Trump. It's like many of Trump's claims, they always fizzle out into nothing. Or ask yourself why Trump is scared of mail-in ballots but he and many in his admin use just that. It's just another case of Trump saying "it's ok for me, not for thee". Also don't get cocky on Trump winning a second term, that's the same attitude many Clinton supporters had and look how that turned out. Add the fact that Trump is clearly worried about his poll numbers as they are dog ###### right now for him. And before you say "we don't believe in poll numbers", remember, you don't have to but Trump sure does and that matters more than you own personal view of them. And right now, Biden is well ahead of Trump, even with the margin for error. The rest of your post is tin foil hat garbage.

  34. Nintendo isn't selling these games. They come as a bonus with the Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

  35. So how many times is Nintendo going to try and sell the same games over and over again? At least if they remastered them then I could understand but there isn't any of that. If Nintendo had any morals, they would have the game purchase tied to your account so when they release a new console and the same game is on that platform, you get it free as it's tied to the account. Nintendo makes it easy for many to justify piracy, especially for a game that old.

  38. Not only is the game not for sale on the Switch - it's included at no additional cost if you have a Switch Online subscription - you're not forced to buy something you already have. Just play the version you have.

  43. When they go portless, do you expect them to include a wireless charger as well? Yes. lol. Do you get angry when you buy something, but "batteries aren't included". I can see some of the debate with not including a cable, especially if you're a first time apple user, but expecting a wireless changer? Please.

  45. If given the option between the US or China spying on me, I will pick the US every time. France and the US have been allies for a very long time. It's unlikely the US will deliberately sabotage their economic and critical infrastructure even if they have backdoors to the equipment. That can't be said for China, given how aggressive and hostile they have been to the west. China is so hostile that over the last 20 years they have lied to the world and illegally invaded multiple countries and well over a million people are dead and millions more have no prospect of a future because their countries have been obliterated and because of the lies to by the Chinese communist party... oh wait, no, that was the US!

  47. You do know that there are also people who make the exact opposite argument? That he is in bed with conservative thinkers and makes more revenue from them than he does from Dems? Zuckerberg? With conservatives? Where did you get that? Well documented that he has been meeting with them. He himself leans left, but he knows the value (financially and influentially) of having them on his platform.

  48. I think our democracy over here is just too easily manipulated. The core idea is fine, but the extra rules and processes thrown around it by those who it would serve are the problem. May many elections in how many years, on what is meant to be a 4-year cycle - it became a bad joke. When you get more people voting for the person that loses than for the person who won, then there is a problem and that is the problem with the U.K as well with our out of date First past the post system. US has almost 5 times the population as the UK. Electoral College makes sense. If it did not exist, huge cities could dictate how the entire country is run. Why should a bunch of brainwashed students from California that never saw a real cow in their lives have more power than farmers in Texas or Iowa? I feel the use of such stereotypes undermines any real argument. Does it really? Alright, second take. Why should California have more voting power than Arizona? Yes it really does. Why should California have more voting power than Arizona? Why should a Californian's vote matter less than an Arizonan's?

  49. Unfortunately, for some reason, it is racist to require an ID to vote in the US... a system that works anywhere else. In my country I can only vote in the district where I live. If I want to vote somewhere else, I need to tell that to the government. I also need to provide my ID, they cross that I was there so nobody can go there and impersonate me. Seeing as you say "for some reason"; do you actually care to understand the argument as to why the use of ID to vote within the US is seen as problematic? Do you care to understand why systems that work in other countries with different social issues don't always apply to every country?
