A simple scan is fine, but to actually image a dying drive for recovery purposes, you should absolutely be doing a direct connection

Sprint was genuinely struggling.
They were on the verge of bankruptcy, really the 2 options were
Let T-Mobile (a distant third competitor to the big 2) buy them
Let sprint die, the big 2 buy large chucks of sprint anyways for pennies on the dollar post-bankruptcy and make their distance from T-Mobile even bigger.
If you need another reason, AT&T was very against the deal, so you KNOW what they think is bad is probably actually good for consumers
I’ve got to get to a damn gym right now
Not until we’re having to sit through upwards of 20 minutes on ads per “1 hour” episode
who owns RCS and has more sway on carriers
If that were true, RCS would have been implemented by carriers LONG ago like they were supposed to (the original spec was launched in 2008), well before imessage came out in 2011 and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
But you know who actually does have a TON of sway with Carriers? Apple. You know who probably could have actually gotten them to implement RCS? Apple. Apple could have solved the RCS dilemma even before Google decided to do things themselves.
Apple didn’t even need to do much, just drop the mere hint that if carriers didn’t start implementing RCS they might stop selling the iPhone through them and they would have bent over backwards to get it done.
They didn’t because iMessage is just another tool to keep people locked into their ecosystem, and they’ve admitted as much. And any excuse of “Oh we wanted to work with the GSM consortium blah blah blah” is just that, an excuse for Apple fanboys like you to latch onto and parrot.
country in the world invade our Southern border, taking a week off work to prepare for a debate (who’s running the country?).
A good president can do that because a good president actually appoints good people that can be trusted to run things instead of a bunch of sycophants
And don’t forget the biggest difference of all, saying in court that they aren’t News but a “News entertainment network”
For one, Google never wanted to implement or run RCS, the carriers were supposed to do that specifically to prevent the fragmentation issue. But they couldn’t get off their ass, even after Google spent years pushing them to do so.
For two, even after Google said fuck the carriers I’ll do it myself, Apple was invited to participate in its implementation and Apple refused. They could have worked with Google to implement RCS across all devices. They didn’t because they want to keep people locked into their ecosystem. They had a great opportunity to ensure all the privacy and encryption features were implemented how they liked.
You don’t care, because you’re an adult, what you or I see as a simple visual indicator is yet another thing that HS teens will use to bully and peer pressure with.
But you should care in the sense that Apple is exploiting teens still developing brains and maturity with dark patterns to get them “hooked for life” in a way.
While Google should open source it, it’s important to note that Google never actually wanted to run or implement RCS. It was supposed to be the carriers, but they never did and even Google spent years pushing them to get off their ass and they still didn’t. It was years before Google finally went “Fine, I’ll just fucking do it myself”
Yet another Linux phone with subpar specs. That processor is quite underwhelming even compared to Google’s Tensor G1, a proc that many regard as crap as is and it beats this Dimensity 900 handily.
I think he was meaning more “run them out of town” and less “vote them out of office”
So anyways, I’m bringing the popcorn, who was supposed to bring the drinks?
BUT BUT you’ll get 5% fasTEr SpeED!!! And MOrE seCuRiTy!!!
I mean for Facebook, it makes sense. Very early on, even before it expanded out to other colleges, didn’t it start out as a “Hot or not” type thing by ol Zuck?
Probably because of the nukes, if you have a weapons platform in orbit you can do something like launch large metal rods and it’ll have the same destructive force without any of the nasty radioactive fallout
But just barely, it’s just the absolute bare minimum IMO
what kind of fucking upgrade is this?
Sounds like pretty standard upgrade to me, NEW, but with less features lol
Oh, I’m stealing this LMAO
Bro, IDE has been dead for YEARS now, I’d be shocked if there was an IDE connector on any consumer computer made in the last 10 years (Industrial stuff can get weird)
