  1. That kinda sad, put US China conflict aside, Huawei was one of the highest quality phones makers and really put great efforts into the quality and innovation of it's products, now it's all be gone, one major mobile processor producer will be ceased to exist and thats surely can't be good for the competition from client stand point.

  2. As much as I hate Chinese meddling with things, America isn't any better in this regard with this jerking around who can do what where. Fine, ban Huawei's stuff in America, whatever. But going out of their way to hinder things outside of US borders makes them a**holes.

  3. America is losing the tech game and is trying hard to stay relevant using sanctions. The sad reality for the US is that the new American demographics cohort and depleting high quality immigration intake will render the United States irrelevant in the coming decades in the tech field.

  4. Microsoft Surface Duo renders leak; coming to AT&T

    No worries. I'm sure you'll tout these as "revolutionary" and be first in line to buy them at twice the price when Apple "invents" them in a couple of years...

  5. Microsoft Surface Duo renders leak; coming to AT&T

    Never understood these deals, while I get it's supposed to drive people to certain providers, it must massively limit the uptake of the actual device itself. Last device I bought that was locked to a provider was in the mid 2000's. Caught me out when I went overseas. But now with unlocked devices there's no issue, chuck in a sim and you're good to go. See a better mobile plan? Change providers! Too easy!

  6. While my Huawei phone is not high end, it is still a good phone, I am not happy with Trump at all, i hope come the elections people in the U.S. will kick his backside out of office. i saw somewhere that he said even if you are dying go and vote for him, i don't care if you only have weeks left or something like that. I hope people see him for what he is. he is not fit to run a mile, never mind a country.

    No worries. I'm sure you'll tout these as "revolutionary" and be first in line to buy them at twice the price when Apple "invents" them in a couple of years... I mean, going off Microsoft's past mobile efforts, and seeing how the consumer interested has never really been there, I don't think he's wrong. His opinion must have stuck a nerve because you went after him with a tactic that's more dated than the design of the Surface Duo.

  11. It is quite funny to me how people actually think people who did this support Trump. This was literally a shitpost attack. And weird how it came right after the executive order was sign. A retaliation anyone? Btw, for you lefties, Trump supporters have already moved from Reddit, which makes this attack even funnier.

  12. Exactly. U.S. lost me when they put pressure on the UK to remove Huawei from UK networks, it's now likely that costs will be passed to customers. Things are already expensive enough as it is.

  13. Its not "Americans". Americans got better things to do with their time. This is some "communistic" BS from the clown show in the white house. He'll pull skit like this anytime the media focus is to be on simpleton stories like Tic Tok. Rather than on stories like Deutsche bank finally turning over the clown show's records to the NY DA's office. I hope they do launch a law suit against this.

  14. The site is just a cesspool now. World politics is basically /b/ from the 4chan days. It's like the more moderation they've done, the worse the site has become. It's a weird mindset when you think you can just ban a community and assume they'll just disappear. That's just not how the internet works...

    Get Monster HDMI cables. They are super expensive, but the price is worth it because they use quantum bitcoin machine learning to give you the best picture quality money can buy.

  17. HDMI cables: What am I looking for?

    First, only buy cables like this at monoprice.com. This is where I have bought all my cables and they are all good and always a very good price. Specifications depend on what you're using it for, but for the most part, they all pretty much do the same. For example, this HDMI cable: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=3992 is high speed and its 15ft length is only $8.79. Never go anywhere else. And in CA and AZ, you will get your products quickly.

  19. It’s leftist cesspool where centrist and even slightly right wing ideas/posts are deleted and posters banned. That is why you see these kinda hacks. r/india is another s******e which actually bans you if you post something Pro-India. Never seem to be able to get anyone to share an example of one of these "right wing ideas" that seem to get censored all over the internet. Is it because you're being deliberately obtuse? Have you heard of the Donald Trump subreddit being banned?

  31. Luxus cursors for Windows

    Hi, In case you're interested in new cursors for Windows or macOS you can check out my DeviantArt account here for a set called Luxus 3 External link to my DeviantArt account macOS cursors are in my gallery there too should you want. I've gotten a request to look into making the cursors(main arrow) a bit smaller. I await response on that elsewhere.. Is that the desire here also? it's only a couple of pixels height and width wise. Look at the attached images and comment 😄 Also, if you want to try these and don't want or have a DeviantArt account, you can download them out from my Jumpshare account here (Windows only) External link to Jumpshare -Allan

    I kind of like the bezels. I've never understood the dislike with bezels. I'd rather companies keep large bezels so people like me with larger fingers aren't accidentally tapping the screen constantly. It's a Tablet-like device, I want to be able to hold it, you know?

    I kind of like the bezels. The bezels give you more options to hold these type of devices without messing with the screen IMO. I think having a little at the bottom of a phone works quite well for this type of dual screen/foldable phone that opens up and becomes bigger.

  35. Same way they would label, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, CNBC, MSNBC, CNN when a democrat is in office. A Democrat isn't in office though and we can only deal with today. Right now Fox News is a state run media outlet and should be labelled accordingly. Do you really see all of those news organisations as being far left? What is it with Republicans with conspiracy theories and the feeling they are being persecuted by everyone. Eh? Calling an outlet "far left" is now a conspiracy theory and claiming persecution? That's.... A take, I guess. No, calling one or two outlets as far left is not a conspiracy theory or claiming persecution. However, calling SEVEN major news organisations far left IS a conspiracy theory and frankly it borders on being unhinged. If you can prove that it's false, then it would be a lie. Doesn't necessarily meet the criteria of a "conspiracy theory". But you can't call it a conspiracy theory based simply on the number he cited. If two could be far-left, why not three? If three, why not four? You see where I'm going... I'm not saying he's right, I'm just saying you need to back up what you're saying just as much as he does. Only from the last 24 hours. New York Magazine "U.S. Intelligence Says Republicans Are Working With Russia to Reelect Trump" No proof. New Yorker Times "Russia Continues Interfering in Election to Try to Help Trump, U.S. Intelligence Says" No proof. ABC News: "Russia working to boost Trump's reelection and 'denigrate' Biden, as China undermines Trump: US intelligence" No proof. CBS: "U.S. intelligence shows Russia is trying to "denigrate" Biden, while China prefers Trump lose" No proof. I don't need to prove anything (and yet, I am showing proof), it is the opposite, the media who research (or invent) the news must prove it and show evidence and hearsay/feelings are not evidence. Now, about fake news... they are not fake news. Why? Because they say so 🤦‍♀️ In any case, the media has no credibility (33% credibility, a historic low). People don't trust media, but they want to hear it because it's easy to agree, even when they know that it is full of fallacies. People want comforting lies instead of accepting the unpleasant truths, and it is cowardice. And Twitter (who is not an authority) is self-entitled to say who is right and who is wrong? C-MON!.

  36. Exactly. U.S. lost me when they put pressure on the UK to remove Huawei from UK networks, it's now likely that costs will be passed to customers. Things are already expensive enough as it is. Except it's not just the US which is where you lose me, when Hong Kong holds protests of 800K+ against Chinese control. Taiwan has complained on numerous fronts, but just this week that China's government is stealing trade secrets from them as well. This is far beyond just Poland catching what they alleged to be a Chinese spy, who happened to be a "former" Huawei employee. You don't have to like America, most Americans don't either, but that has little to do with the complaints lodged with China, on numerous fronts right down to abusing human rights in very much Nazi Germany fashion. Arguing that you don't get your phone for as cheap as you might like because you're not importing goods from a known country abusing their people seems rather ridiculous. We know what china is doing, but to be honest how many other countries have not done the same thing over the years and maybe still doing it? The U.S. have spies, the U.K have spies, so what make us any different in that regard? You have no idea like any of us on here how much technology our countries have stolen from others. My problem with China is the way they treat their own citizens and the lack of democracy, but they are not the only country like it. We don't hate Americans or America , I do think the U.S. have tried to be the police of the world and pushed their agendas to other countries and sadly the U.K. have followed them like puppy dogs. i also think that we in the U.K. have become too Americanised and what identity we have got is starting to fade, the e.u took a lot of it. even my spelling checker is trying to spell Americanised with a Z and it is supposed to be British English. I have heard people saying ZEE instead of ZED. The U.S. is a big country and one of the reason why they are high in technology, but don't forget that country never belonged to you in the first place. As for cheap phones, he was not on about cheap phones, he was on about the network, so cheap broadband or cheaper broadband. It is not cheap in this country, a lot of people are paying about £25-£20 or more a month for home broadband, try it is unlimited, but still a bit expensive, certainly for people who don't have much money. Mobile is worse, i may only pay £7 for mine phone package, but I only get 2GB for that, plus talk time and unlimited text. the mobile provider I use offers an unlimited data service for £20 a month, but that is sim free and you still got to buy a phone and they are one of the cheaper ones. Nothing is different in essence between US and China but the gullible folks from both of these countries see them as infallible as the Pope( o_O ). In China You have state discrimination over minorities and political views, in US You have deeply rooted systemic racism and a farcical political system. The only thing that truly differs is that China is not playing World Police while US have been terrorizing the rest of the world under the umbrella of Human Rights for more than 50 years. This trade war with China is just one more in the line of endless moves to secure domination. This I must say though. US has moved to oppression beyond its capabilities. It is how empires act before the fall.

  39. Share if your Windows 10 May 2020 Update (version 2004) is blocked

    Blocked: I've had an update block before due to a hardware dongle driver, but this computer was more or less a fresh install within the last two months (though using an older installation USB that I made). Given my prior experience, I can understand how a third-party may be responsible for delaying an update (TBH I would have been more ****ed if the update had gone through and then I couldn't use said equipment) but I also think that at least when their own devices are involved MS could be giving their customers more information about why the update is being blocked on the device.

  42. ""The reason that the firm cites for the move is that less than 0.1% of the email notifications are opened"". So I assume you're of the 0.1 % I don't know what the email's look like, but do you even have to open them, or does the subject line just let you know X person just uploaded a new video? The subject line is like this: "Reol Official just uploaded a video" Honesty I absolutely hate this, being notified about new uploads by E-mail was my main way of knowing if my favourites uploaded a video. I'm going to miss so many videos without this feature Edit: Also these e-mails contain something like this: "You were sent this email because you chose to receive updates from Reol Official. If you don't want these updates anymore, you can unsubscribe here. " so there's no reason not knowing how to turn off these E-mail notifications...

  50. The order claims that TikTok "captures vast swaths of information from its users, including Internet and other network activity information such as location data and browsing, and search histories." Sooo.... He's okay with an American company like Google being able to basically know everything possible to know about you (not to mention the FBI, CIA, NSA, etc), but OTHER countries and intelligence agencies.... THAT is where he draws the line... *rolls eyes* Such hypocrisy.
