Oh look, another "We're not doing enough" doomsayer dismissing good news because no one else is allowed to celebrate positive things.

Oof, this is definitely a:

Every lie incurs a debt to the truth

Sort of thing. It's not going to be fun when your child understands that there is no school on weekends, you'll lose a lot of trust overnight with this.

Same. I have 5G off because it's just so bloody slow and unreliable.

Let's not even talk about the problems where periodically I can't make any outbound calls and no one can call me. Which has been a problem for at least the last 5 years, for both me and my wife.

Ah, the circle of life

They usually do yes however it's all about prioritization.

You may have hundreds or thousands or open requests and issues.

With tens of thousands of closed issues that were either not reproducible, not actually problems, or largely indecipherable.

There's usually a feature roadmap which is where most of the development money and time is spent. If it's an older business application then certain bugs might easily take weeks to find, fix, test, validate, go through user acceptance, A/B test, and then deploy. But fixing is expensive work, so if the bug isn't severe it's usually deprioritized next to higher priority work.

Oops, that's deadly, material right here.

If north America & Australia's biggest exports start having effect they will be very pro-regulation. Just pro-regulatory-capture.

How does taxing revenue from digital technology where it's generated work?

Can you explain what that means for me.

I like how they say Taiwan Independence is a dead end.

Taiwan is already independent. China wants to undo that, but they make sure to word it as if Taiwan is a rebelling State instead.

To be fair a security camera would be more like $300-900 and the install, wiring into the freezer...etc would be another $1-2k.

Still not comparable, but that's definitely not just $100.

Yep, and Google does the same shit.

On Pixel phones you have the search bar at the bottom, which you cannot remove, replace, resize, or configure.

In the EU you can configure it to change your default search engine. In North America you cannot, and are forced to use Google.

And on Google forums anyone who complains gets attacked by a wave of simps saying "Then just don't buy a pixel then, go somewhere else if you don't like it".

So tired of this shit.
