pop , to Technology in Apple will update iPhones for at least 5 years in rare public commitment

Those updates are easy when you have to release an system update to update the safari browser. Hell, you could call it a major security fix and fix some security issue on an old phone and every fanboy would be like "OMG iPhone 3s got an update.🤤" whereas Google can just ship browser fixes over the app store.

And version history means jack all when you can just name releases as you please. Google has been doing the same thing last 5-10 years. Emoji mixers, magic cleaner, launcher with google search bar at the bottom, turning a toggle into a big button on nav bar, enabling aren't major updates. Sure there are underlying changes, but they're mostly security patches and bugfixes. Android is still a bloated mess that needs ungodly amount of RAM and processing to keep even few apps running reliably in the background.

And guess where did Google learn this deceptive "long term update support" trend from?

The only thing they'll need is to decouple chrome and require a system update, and they could be providing updates for a decade.

pop , to Technology in Google to start permanently deleting users’ location history

It's likely now your device does the initial processing of your data (store, categorize, and disseminate) and the aggregate is sent through as telemetry. They save on processing costs and users think it's privacy friendly.

But it's Google we're talking about here and smartphones are more than capable these days.

Developers also need to make money to live and survive. Why do you think you're entitled to all of their work for free? If it's such an inconvenience, you should try your hand at coding an alternative and giving all of it for free. We're waiting.

pop , to Technology in How China is moving up Apple's supply chain

It’s either “China is bad” or “Apple is bad

porque no los dos?

pop , to Technology in Electric bikes are about to get more expensive, and the timing couldn’t be worse

It's all free market until they can no longer compete. Then it's time to get down and play dirty.

pop , to Technology in Google confirms the leaked Search documents are real

Now it would be bloody awesome if someone would leak how their data collection in Android works and how much of their privacy policy is actually not just for good PR.

pop , to Fuck Cars in The NYTimes is once again trashing the most promising mobility innovation of the 21st century

With ICE, you control the population by controlling the oil. Like rest of the world has to eat up price raise without much retaliation, what else you're going to do, you have to work and you depend on oil. But since China is the major producer of batteries and EVs, the nations that dictate the policies are losing that control.

So US does what it does best, propagandize the masses. Mass produced solar panels are bad, EVs are unreliable, e-bikes are a menace.

The world powers will turn the world to ruins if it serves their interests.

pop , to Technology in Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h

Hackernews, unironically named to appeal tech circles, but run by venture capital fund y-combinator, mainly to promote companies they invest in.

As such it's mostly used by techbros (MBA types) and tech companies to show-off, start drama, push their PR, damage control, and occasionally post news.

It's like linkedin, in reddit format. It's all about your connections.

pop , to Lefty Memes in Reminder...

Not a problem for everyone else but US. US has been using that same tactic for a lot of other countries. We'd probably consider it karma catching up at this point.

And as always, you can always blame someone else that got you to this point. But we're so used to that now.

pop , to Lefty Memes in Reminder...

lol, you're so free in the freedom land that you taking an un-awful option from the trainwreck gets you hate from the cult on both sides of the mainstream political parties.

Good on you for having a conscience.

Muricah!!!

pop , to Technology in Google promised a better search experience — now it’s telling us to put glue on our pizza

Have you tried an adblock?

pop , to solarpunk memes in no wait he has a point

The vast majority of religious workers are akin to workers at a scam call centre. Selling you "thoughts and prayers" and guilt tripping you to give them money. Basically fooling you into something non-existent.

Scammers also give a lot of their time and resource and work full-time. I guess they deserve a living wage too, huh?

The only thing they need is run a pretend-charity, community service and food drives?

You sure seem to like your make-belief system where you think they are net-positive to the community. I'm sure a you would feel the same about scam call centres, if only they could upgrade their PR with some charity. All that without all the violent history.

But oh no, they're brown people in a third-world shithole… so that's a pass. I love my own pretend-charity cult with supreme people.

pop , to Technology in Google Accidentally Deleted $125 Billion Pension Fund's Account

They're outsourcing many of their workforce abroad. Like Microsoft, I expect more of these "isolated" accidents to happen.

pop , to Mildly Infuriating in Euro bottles are so much better now

I have kids and I don't hate not losing caps.

pop , to Technology in TikTok sues the US government over ban
