The iPhone 3g would be the first modern "smartphone" from Apple; before that it didn't allow adding more applications, same as the "dumb phones" before it. It just had a capacitive touchscreen and a better web browser

Even then, the batteries weren't glued in and it was significantly easier to replace

Apple got in trouble because they made the processor in the phone get slower as the battery got older, not for any of these 80% battery optimization things (which they also support now, but it was added after their scandal of slowing the processors down)

They also didn't inform the user, so there was no way an average user could know they could restore their device's old performance with a simple battery replacement

Not to be too conspiratorial, but isn't that a pretty good indicator that Meta capitulated and put a backdoor in WhatsApp for them?

In the context of I'm not available and you need to know when to call, sure

In the context of we're currently talking and trying to plan when we'll talk again, UTC is infinitely easier once you have 5 different people talking

The conversation is easier because we have a shared understanding of the time.

When you ask me can you call me at 13:00, I currently need to google what your timezone is and convert it to my timezone to know whether my sun is up.

If instead I just know when my sun comes up and goes down in UTC, I can immediately answer if I'm available at 13:00

Relativity does make space more difficult, but we'll ultimately have to make some shared reference point there, too, as you've pointed out

We only get 200 GiB for that price in the USA - I was surprised they offer so much more over there

Wait - you can get 1tb for £2 there?

I wouldn't mind as much if it was that price.

It stems from companies being too cheap to get people work phones, but still wanting them to be available

git was created because a proprietary VCS was being a dick

I assume that's how SCP-3008 was created

We were taught about OpenMP in like 2012 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP

Intel's TBB was also used some, but not as frequently https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_Building_Blocks

For what it's worth, it seems like it's this "journalist" trying to make a sensational headline

The researchers themselves very clearly just tried to see if it could happen in our reality

"We decided to look at the probability of a given string of letters being typed by a finite number of monkeys within a finite time period consistent with estimates for the lifespan of our universe,"
