You know a company is too powerful when they're able to convince a government to change its laws. It should be the citizens of the country who decide what the laws of that country are, not some company based in a foreign country.4 points -

NASA successfully lands Perseverance rover on Mars
ZipZapRap and one other reacted to Astra.Xtreme for a topic
you were wrong. Mars is grey, not red. This. The atmosphere is red, but the planet is actually grey like the moon. The moon doesn't have an atmosphere though which is why it looks exactly as we see it from a telescope. Earth was the same way until color was introduced in 1954. Not quite. It's the oxidized rusty surface that casts a red tint on the atmosphere. The material under the surface is grey since it hasn't been oxidized, but it's indeed the surface that causes the red color. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/p...mosphere%20to%20look%20red." rel="external nofollow">https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/p...mosphere%20to%20look%20red.

Until a few years ago, the BBC was one of the most neutral and unbiased news sources (though not perfect), but recently the new head of the trust-funded network has veered right. You can see it in its overly favorable coverage of rightwing morons Johnson and Trump, etc. While not as bad as Fox News or other Murdoch owned rightwing propaganda outlets, the BBC is no longer a good neutral source of information in the modern world. So you can't be considered unbiased if you don't think Trump is a moron? That sounds like a very biased opinion to me. Trump is quantifiably and without a doubt a racist, misogynist, textbook malignant narcissist, pathological liar, and infamous charlatan. While, for accuracy's sake, the term "moron" should be in quotes, as his former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump a "######ing moron", Trump paid people to take tests for him or had his father buy his school admittance throughout his school years, so calling Trump an ignorant, poorly educated, spoiled little ignoramus would be the more accurate description. That is an opinion of yours not of everyone no matter what you say. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but that is all it is. The vast majority of racists support trump don't you agree?2 points -

Shareholders? The purpose here is to increase viewership. Not everything done is to benefit the consumer. It costs customers bandwidth, it costs netflix bandwidth, if a customer doesn't see these at all, they're still going to be paying for netflix, it's not like it's some magical retention system that and they can't see recommended shows that should they be thinking of cancelling it they might view and like and continue paying for...1 point -

Any information that stands in stark contrast to the narrative created by the US led, neoliberal corporate hegemony. Remember when NYTimes says a nation is gassing its own people or throwing babies out of incubators, that's not fake news. That's real because the imperialist forces of the capitalist world say so. No I don't recall that in the NY Times. Show me a story from the NYT saying that? Careful with that one, he's worships Xi Jinping the way Trump supporters worship Trump.1 point -

probably most of the stuff on FB which is actually fake news. I'd love to see FB shutdown, but not gonna get my wish. . Shutting down FB isn't the solution. You do realize FB doesn't post any information, it's the users. If we go by the standard that FB is guilty, then might as well block all emails from @gmail @hotmail, or any hosting site for that matter. Today's it's FB, yesterday it was chain emails, it was ICQ, etc1 point -

Samsung now promises four years of security updates for Galaxy devices
FunkyMike reacted to +E.Worm Jimmy for a topic
Samsung is aiming on mainstream - I got Sony because I like my microSD and headphone jack. But when Bluetooth will improve (and Sony Bluetooth already has more quality codex then Samsung) and I can have great quality - I will likely consider Samsung again. Nokia - liked the idea - but not the phones. Not recommended.1 point -

Samsung now promises four years of security updates for Galaxy devices
Tuskd reacted to MateerL for a topic
Are you familiar with the concept of diminishing returns? Apple could provide 10 years of updates but that would not be a factor in me switching. I have personally never keep a phone over three years which is the same for most people. Do you keep your phones for five years? Saying that... I am not against OEMs providing updates longer. a lot of people would keep phones for over 3 years if they received updates. An usual need for OS updates is so apps like banking/finance apps & corporate apps(Exchange, Authenticators, etc.) are supported, device is corporate policy compliant. a 5 year old, decently specced, phone would still be capable hardware to run basic apps. a short support period is basically planned obsolescence.1 point -

Favorite Windows OS version
MS Bob 11 reacted to +InsaneNutter for a topic
I think for an all-time favourite version of Windows its hard to choose between XP and 7, I feel both we’re significant releases for their time and I’ve nostalgic memories of them both, such as downloading a beta of Windows XP over a period of 5 days on dialup internet… only to find it didn’t work on my PC of the time haha. Windows 7 – I think this is where Windows peaked, it felt like this was where everything came together for Windows. 64bit hardware support was great, Windows worked on low end hardware of the time, such as Netbooks. The UI was nice, consistent for the most part and pretty polished. Windows XP – This is an earlier point in time I think was another major milestone for Windows. From a consumer version point of view this was where Windows finally became stable, fast user switching was great a great feature when you had 4 people all sharing the same PC. The theming / desktop customisation community was great back then, in general a more polished version of Windows 2000. Windows 10 - I use it every day, however am impartial about, it fixed a lot of what Microsoft messed up with Windows 8 / 8.1 and in general I don’t mind using it (having done so since July 2015) however it doesn’t really jump out at me as something that was great like Windows 7 and XP did back in the day. Settings are a total mess in Windows 10, its still easier to access to classic control panel to configure various things, the modem “settings” app feels like hard work to actually change a simple setting a lot of the time, maybe I’m just stuck in my ways though? I do like that Windows 10 finally does scale well on 4K+screens and has lots of little improvements like not requiring admin rights to install a font. The Microsoft Store and most modern apps (or whatever we’re calling them these days) are not great in my opinion though, most apps like the Calculator for example feel like i'm using something designed for a tablet with a mouse and keyboard. Although credit where credit is due the one app I have always found useful is the Xbox app.1 point -

Favorite Windows OS version
MS Bob 11 reacted to stereopixels for a topic
Windows XP... because it was such a major break from the past; the first version of Windows targeted at home users that was based on the NT kernel, it had a whole community of people building themes for it, good hardware and driver support, stable, support for CD burning baked in, ClearType support for LCDs, that Bliss wallpaper. An iconic release. XP/Whistler was my reason for regularly visiting (and much later signing up for) Neowin as they had all the best info on it along with Paul Thurrott.1 point
