In most situations i agree with you, but i think when it comes to the purchase of techie things (like which computers and OS a company should use) then the opinion of techies matters. Their opinion may not matter as much as it should, but in aggregate over time it can cause large changes in purchasing decisions
I think this graph doesn’t have to move left to right, it can also move right to left. On several occasions quantum computing started to move up the “tech trigger” slope, but without any functional applications for the current technology the point slid back down to the left again.
I think the graph needs at least one more demarcated region. After “tech trigger” there needs to be “real world applications”. Without real world applications you can never progress past the tech trigger phase.
In chemistry this is the equivalent of Energy of Activation. If a reaction can’t get over the big first step, then it can’t proceed on to any secondary steps
Why not 1 tb?
I was gonna say I’ve never seen a price gap that wide
When a company opens a facility in another country, why don’t they just higher local people to be the managers?
fedia.io is the replacement you’re looking for. It’s an mbin, which is a branch from kbin
Big blue is a nickname for IBM, but i think you’re referring to Intel
Pedantic. You’re arguing that false advertising isn’t illegal. But it is.
As the other poster said, perpetuity isn’t what was advertised, lifetime is what was advertised. Lifetime is a common term used in legal claims. It can refer to lifetime of the person, or lifetime of the device a service is used on, or other things, but it is a specific and enforceable term.
See number 1.
Marketing promises ARE a contract. Companies aren’t allowed to advertise a thing and then not do that thing. That’s false advertising and fraud. Companies aren’t allowed to say they offer a product or service for price X and then actually charge price Y. This is well established law.
You either didn’t read or didn’t understand the article. Multiple times in multiple ways the company said it’s offering a lifetime price, which is different than a price offered only for a limited term. They very explicitly said “T-Mobile will never change the price you pay” and “T-Mobile One customers keep their price until THEY decide to change it. T-Mobile will never change the price you pay” etc. etc.
Oh snap that’s so geeky cool!
The same is true for all companies’ self driving cars, and the companies would gladly sell all that data to China or any other government
Yeah, but it then goes on saying
“However, the dev also boasts that “the possibilities are endless” and would welcome any companies or individuals who wish to get in contact and discuss commercializing this project or something related to it.”
And that’s what I’m saying “y tho” to.
Is there a reason why you can’t get an air conditioner? There’s tons of valid reasons why it wouldn’t be an option, I’m just wondering what your situation is. Because nothing is ever gonna work anywhere close to as good as an air conditioner. If you can afford even the smallest air conditioner then it’ll beat every single diy method in most situations
True, but not paying for maintenance sure does help the executive hit his quarterly numbers to receive a bonus
Woah cool!
See my other comment reply above. I don’t know how to get a direct link to a comment on lemmy
Sometimes you actually do go back to those saved tabs. There’s no way to know ahead of time which tabs you’re actually gonna go back to and which you won’t, so it’s perfectly reasonable to save groups of tabs if there was a topic you were researching or whatever. Just save the tabs into a new bookmark folder with a descriptive name so you can find it later.
But with that said, 7000 is way beyond including just the things a person might ever actually want to go back to later.
You can bookmark a whole window full of tabs all into a single bookmark folder. It’s called “bookmark all tabs” or something like that. Then later you can open all of them again into a new window using a single button again.
I know the average person isn’t tech savvy, but this loss is almost entirely on themself. If you have 7000 tabs open and it’s important to you that they stay saved, then it’s on you to simply ASK someone if keeping them open is an ok way to do it
Exactly. That’s the whole point of link sharing sites, you can curate it to just show the things you’re interested in. Simply blocking like 5 politics-related communities will almost entirely wipe political content from your view.
