Because he's arguing the work is happening, just slowly and is not just a way to funnel and steal money? The opposite of the comment he's replying to?

The entire web is built on standardized e2e encryption schemes fought for by techie nerds so that we don't have these problems there.

I mean, the loss of the headphone jack was a downgrade for no reason beyond profits. Big screens were a tradeoff made on purpose because customers demanded it.

6 in phones are in no danger of disappearing though.

I hate small phones. I switched back to an iphone SE years ago and realized it was a pita to use anymore. Everything is.. too small.

This version naming is hrllaripusly awful. "It works on rotund tundra, but not alpine fresh. Hope that helps!"

Windows tends to work with ever you throw at it though. Plug it in and somehow it will find a way to work.

Why would sa make a deal with him? It would have to be secret and there's zero chance he would abide by it later. If he wins and they kill him its a war. If he loses they've bought nothing anyway....

You see this thinking in science too. Dark matter has always struck me as an awful solution to a model breaking down. It's basically "the numbers don't add up so let's add a fudge factor to make it say what we want". But you're generally considered a kook for questioning it now. People will spout a bunch of big words and hope you shut up if you do.

Definitely no shady VPNs run by white westerners though. Theyve all got impeccable morals through ans through. Glad you cleared that up.

Firefox shipped sandboxing on Android years ago (before chrome) and then removed it. I'm not sure you gain much from it on Android. It eats up ram making performance crap on cheap phones and apps already run in their own app user context to isolate what they can access.

I will never understand how people expect software to gather no telemetry or metrics whatsoever.
