It absolutely does. I’m not sure why you’re trying to spread misinformation, but Apple clearly hasn’t dropped VR or the Vision Pro, and your own source proves it.

Let me guess. Add infrared cameras onto the Airpods, costing them very little extra, and using it as justification for an £80 price rise.

This doesn’t say that the Vision Pro is abandoned at all.

In fact, it implies the opposite. They have paused development of a Vision Pro 2 and are instead accelerating development of their planned lower-cost headset.

Seems to me that they will be having the Vision Pro (1st gen) as their supported flagship for longer than expected.

No, you’re the one lying, and I provided evidence.

ROFLCOPTER

Cringe.

Unfortunately there are all kinds of caveats in the law. E.g. phone batteries over a certain capacity are exempt, you can be exempted if you provide a battery warranty of (iirc) 3 years, etc.

You’re the one that’s lying.

I literally proved you a liar for both of your points lmao

That is changing the default device. When you set one that’s what it sticks to. Same goes for the power profile.

Why are you lying?

Look, I don’t expect the back to be trivial to pop off and have a battery that I can yank out and replace within 5 seconds.

The need for high capacity batteries in phones pretty much necessitates thinner-walled (and therefore more easy to damage) batteries, and phones being all-screen pretty much necessitates phones being reasonably thin, so protective cases can be used without making the phones ridiculously cumbersome.

But if it does indeed require special tools, heatguns, and a skilled technician to do this, then I will be pissed off. There is zero reason Apple and the other industry shitheads can’t design a phone with a battery that can be replaced without much chance of damage, or specialised tooling, by a normal person in under 10 minutes.

I’d also like to see them be forced to publish open schematics for their batteries so alternate companies can sell batteries if the OEM decides to be a shithead and charge you £160 for a new one.

Yes it is. You seem reluctant to tell anybody which distro you’re using (even downvoting the person who asked), probably because you know they’d point out that it is in fact there.

Below I’m showing you how it is on my laptop running GNOME, the most used desktop environment. It’s similarly easy in KDE Plasma and Cinnamon. Even the more niche DEs like Pantheon, Budgie, XFCE, and LXQT have had that functionality for many years.

I really don’t know why you’re lying about this. The terminal is not something you’d ever need to open for this.

Why the hell would you need to open the terminal for any of that? It’s in your settings

China isn’t a communist country and hasn’t been for a long time. Theyre about as communist as the Democratic People’s Republic of [North] Korea is democratic.

Or how the Gates foundation fought for the Oxford COVID vaccine NOT to be open sourced, and instead sold for profit, so that it wouldn’t undermine his pharma stocks.

Oxford university had previously secured funding from the UK gov to develop the vaccine under the expectation they open source it so that poorer countries would have greater vaccine access and the rollout could be faster.

Not really. Fedora is community run.

You really don’t. I don’t know what on earth you’re doing that requires it.

And I have to do bullshit like go onto powershell and the heap of shit that is the Windows registry from time to time, too. Shit, you need to enter commands to install windows with an offline account now, it’s insane.

I wish Microsoft could make Windows as user-friendly as most Linux distros are. It seems like you need to be a computer scientist to use Windows sometimes.

Rich billionaire twat who owns a shitload of Microsoft shares says AI is good, don’t let the bubble burst. More at ten.

On the one hand, that is cool as fuck.

Unfortunately though, I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve been using Linux for 16 years and never experienced a panic screen, so I probably won’t get to see Tux :/

Ah that makes a lot of sense, thanks.

Do they? Presumably they’d open source and upstream their firmware or at the very least provide longer software support if that were the case.

Who on Earth refers to electric vehicles as “e-cars”? Lol

EVs or BEVs is the terminology I’ve always heard.

That aside, I don’t really see how European companies can compete at the low end without slapping tariffs on Chinese goods. Europe doesn’t have the benefit of things like forced labour.

Also, I think it’s unwise to allow our reliance on China to grow even further. We’ve seen from Russia that making a hostile nation integral to our economies not only makes us reluctant to hold them to account properly, but it also causes us tremendous disruption if we do go about severing ties.

There is literally nothing stopping you from doing this, while also transitioning people away from petrol cars to much, much cleaner cars.

Not everyone is privileged enough to live in a city. Especially not one that has great transport links and lots of stuff nearby.

Cars will be around for decades, whether you (or I!) like it or not, so it makes sense for them to be as low-impact as we can make them.
