UK telecom firms warn of blackouts if Huawei banned
DOOOMKULTUS and 5 others reacted to spy beef for a topic
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.6 points -

Who even watches movies on tiny little phones? I have Netflix installed on mine and I actually haven't watched a single movie on it... If it also allowed watching on computer, I might check it out, but only phones, that's just useless.4 points -

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 for3 points -

sc302 and 2 others reacted to +Warwagon for a topic
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.3 points -

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.2 points -

All iPhone 12 models to have OLED panels, no charger or EarPods in the box, says report
Jazmac reacted to shockz for a topic
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.1 point -

YouTube TV increases monthly subscription price to $64.99, adds new channels

bguy_1986 reacted to AmazingRando for a topic
Their pricing really has nothing to do with them. Price increases all come from the channel providers. The large companies that own multiple channel blocks and hold hostage content to force the hand of TV providers to pay more. This is also why you can't have ala carte TV. The companies won't let them divide up the channels and Congress wouldnt pass anything forcing them to do it. Content companies who focus on traditional TV content will eventually choke themselves out of business.1 point -

Zuckerberg hopes to spur four million new voters to register for the upcoming elections
mudslag reacted to +Dick Montage for a topic
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.

Zuckerberg hopes to spur four million new voters to register for the upcoming elections
mudslag reacted to +Dick Montage for a topic
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? It's no use arguing with these people, because they tend to be in areas that would profit by removing the electoral college. They don't care how it would affect the rest of the country. These people: Please define.1 point -

mudslag reacted to +Dick Montage for a topic
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?1 point -
