Lol. There is zero chance the low end mobile phone SoC shipped in those is remotely as fast as a six year old M1. Even flagship SoCs from qualcomm and samsung still do not exceed it's performance yet.

What makes you think a googlebook will be half the price of a macbook neo?

Also, a used M1 macbook air is $300 on swappa/ebay and will be even better than the neo anyway. It's still more performant than every other non-Apple ARM based laptop/chromebook on the market and will have far superior build quality.

This thing, like all other google/android products, will be DOA, and the ones actually duped into buying one will be left with a paperweight in a year or two when the cheap hardware inevitably breaks.

That's the desired outcome for them. They want us to either die or comply.

There will be no successor civilization to humans. Earth won't be able to support multicellular life in a few hundred million years due to the sun becoming gradually more luminous over time, resulting in higher surface temperatures that will eventually culminate in a runaway greenhouse happening, as it already has on Venus. Due to human-driven climate change effects this event will certainly happen much sooner (<100m years) as well, which is simply not enough time for another intelligent species to evolve after a large-scale extinction event.

Even if life evolving on earth was an incredibly rare event the chance of such circumstances not happening elsewhere even in our own galaxy is infinitely small - there are trillions of planets and 100b+ stars. On top of that there are 100s of billions of galaxies within the observable universe as well.

The designs are finalized years in advance. Apple would have made the choice to ship USB-C before the EU mandate was even proposed.

the people making a stink about this know this but are pretending that they don't because it would overtly out them as pedophiles.

I can always pay cash or swipe a card at a gas pump, why not the same at an EV charger? This is something that doesn't need to be changed.

MS also never respected this in the first place, exposing closed source and dubiously licensed code used in training copilot was one of the first thing that happened when it was first made available.

And as the OP shows, microsoft is intentionally giving away private repo access to outside actors for the purpose of training LLMs.

Why exactly would anyone buy an android when you get UX that is a poorly made clone of the real thing, much worse battery life (despite batteries on mid-range and high-end android phones being 30% larger than apple's), far worse software support, and on top of that you're expected to pay the same premium price that an iPhone already commands?

What a joke. Within ten years the only people left using these android devices will be third world.
