This is the question that should've been asked before it was built and shipped.

Now that it has been, though, any effort to keep it out of landfill and find a use for the hardware is good.

Why is this a thing for US phone networks?

Why do they care whether the ones and zeroes sent/received stay on the phone or not? Data is data. It shouldn't be any more complicated than that.

Bloody hell, this is a damn documentary.

Yeah, web browsers cost hundreds of millions per year to maintain, they're mind-bogglingly complicated and costly.

I'd really hope the Linux Foundation would help contribute towards the budget, but LF is quite pro Chromium.

I don't think end users can even come close to funding Firefox development, unfortunately.

Also their initiative to recognise images and generate alt-text for screen-reader users.

My sister is blind and screen readers are close to useless on the web, so it was great to hear Mozilla is working on that.

Seems like an interesting way to get people to slow down (people will want to time the melody not just hear a sudden clash of notes), but it's a bit irritating to see an AI-generated article being posted here.

It's frustrating to read this. Repetitive and verbose, like a student trying to pad out their homework to meet a word count.

It isn't an OLED screen. It's an E-ink one. I don't know where you got this idea that it's an OLED from.

TVs generally don't come with unlocked bootloaders. That shit is locked down big time.

That would certainly be ideal, although there's great difficulty in finding 50"+ monitors, and they cost a huge amount more

Sad people buy more to try to make themselves happy. Retail therapy.

People who serve ads have a vested interest in knowing when you're unhappy and what makes you unhappy, so they can capitalise on it.

Jaguar Land Rover may be owned by Tata, an Indian financial holding company, but they're still based in the UK, designed in the UK, built in the UK.

That was broadly the same for Mini too until the most recent generation, where the EV version is actually a Chinese car.

It's nothing like that at all.

A keyboard is not a piano. Nobody can reasonably expect it to be a piano.
