But they’re fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what’s the problem?
I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don’t want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.
1·1 year agoHorse meat is common in Switzerland. There are restaurants specialising in it.
It’ll be interesting to watch someone establish a bank in a space station.
Inevitable, probably.
What a shame. A lot of guys will have worked hard on this, perhaps going on a journey from initial enthusiasm at the novel gimmick to anxiety over real-world usability.
Sadly they’re going to lose all their money or, even worse, find a way to pay back the VC.
How would you deal with armed settlers kicking your family out of your home at gunpoint?
Not by saying “What Hitler did to you will be like a picnic”.
Daft cow
As another commenter said, I don’t think cryptography is the main problem.
You’ve got to be able to modulate some numbers out of the radio signal first before you need to be concerned if it’s encrypted or not.
GPS signals from power conserving satellites are so weak that I’d imagine that overwhelming them with noise on all frequencies would be the easy answer. (Although there’s a Big Brain hyper-cunning answer to that…).
So you could hava “Delta decent airlines” and “Delta fucking shit piss-stained seats threadbare aircraft $15 50ml Coke cans” then?
Totally different market sectors.
If it’s all in writing you can’t just force another company to do what you want. What you can do is wriggle, twist and delay until it becomes too expensive for the smaller company to continue to pursue.
However judges are more than well aware of this technique and will allow the plaintiff to accrue costs against Legal Aid (paid for by government).
So what usually happens:
- Small co files against large co for using same name
- Large co produces huge response document which is all piss and wind
- Small co says they can’t afford the costs to answer each point
- Judge permits Small Co to use Legal Aid.
- Large co offers to settle. (E.g. you’re a 3 person sandwich shop. They offer you £10m. No more work, no more hassle)
If Small Co is energetic, young and courageous, they may choose to fight to the death. But Legal Aid has a limit…
Thank you, I’ve saved that for a quiet moment.
Yeah man, that scratches the itch!
Yeah I also wondered if “nuclear gravity” was some fascinating new branch of physics.
Got real disappointed when I realised that it meant dropping 'em.
58 Gen X Brit here. Even I know the correct response. It was a popular tune.
I’m still with Brother. Dropped my last 6 year old Brother (printer not sibling) down the stairs, and replaced it with the updated model. No fuss, no jams, respectable use of toner. Easy WiFi setup (even easier if you know how to allocate it a static IP in router DHCP settings).
Would still recommend, still a Brand Loyal customer.
All perfectly legal (unless sanctions forbid it).
But in that case they wouldn’t need any fake IDs.
I 100% agree with this. Sadly, rule #3 applies to me (my job involves dealing with banks and lawyers).
I have had two HP inkjet printers which were unmitigated dogshit. Money-grabbing, thrown together pieces of shit. You get more types of jams than at a craft jam shop.
Five years ago, moved to a Brother laser printer. Little difference in purchase cost. AND IT NEVER FAILS.
I’m now on my second (dropped first one downstairs when moving house) and it is just as reliable.
Each to their own, but for me: Brother Laser Printer every time.
Who pays them?
Wouldn’t the ID need to be associated with a verifiable green card? (Again, not an expert in US employment)
They’ve been playing the long game here…encroaching on your Drive storage for years
I’m wagering “Location Data” will be along soon. Then “number of passwords stored”.
Next move will be “number of connected devices”, even though that doesn’t impact how much they have to store.
Finally they will get round to billing you on your number of individual body hairs (shaving in breach of T&Cs).
