I'm more than a Trekkie than a... Warrie (?), but does Project-4K77 means I can finally see Han shooting first?

Maybe. Stealing ad space from a competitor may be in itself valuable.

Another metric comes to my mind: if a newcomer has money to spend on ads, then it's a stable firm.

I'm sure there are more.

No studies on this area, so you have more street cred than me on this but....

You can't kill an idea, but you can severely maim it for a generation or 2.

Big benefit from coding Agents: for things to work it better have documentation. Which humans usually aren't given, so anything which forces documentation is good.

I don't recall the government using FCC to fire someone.

I'd rather wish the previous governments had closed down Fox News, though.

PS: not an USA citizen.

Happy it has multi-boot. Not a buyer, but it's a feature I intend to keep my eye on.

Ok, I really think this is going to cost me karma, but the snyde remark has to be made.

They don't do "Sales", they do "Salesforce"d.

It just supports 1536 concurrent users [0].

Which is fine unless you get to HN frontpage.

Meta-Meta-Meta:

Update:

After the recent hacker news "invasion", I have now determined that the page can handle up to 1536 users before running out of RAM, meaning that the IP camera surprisingly is fully sufficient for its purpose. In other words, I will not be moving the forum in the near future as 32 MB of RAM seem to be enough to run it

You got me. None.

I do wish ubports + waydroid would be a reasonable alternative -- but it's wishful thinking.

Probably.

That's why you need to diversify software ecosystems now.

Slow heating boils the frog.

Move now to alternatives. If you must use Android, GrapheneOS with Sandboxed Play Services.

Oh god. A friend of mine quotes a writer: "The old world is dying. The new is slow to be born: now is the time of monsters."

And this is the only framework I can look to this news with. Either that or mercantilism, I'm told.

fifteen1506 — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 13:55:54 +0000

Sometimes people have limited amount of money available and buying a new SSD for the sake of buying them is not on top of their priority list.

Sure, we can always contract a divinacy specialist to guess which hardware may fail next, but I thought the (paid) Windows testers had that job.

As a human, I'd also appreciate the specifications, documentation and meetings were not inaccessible to me.

Vivaldi has a (as private as possible, check their blog) whitelist for click attribution. My guess they refer to ads on search engines on their partner search engine.

Generic power-user here: I am going to guess without the backing of Google going forcefully open-source, "niche" hardware such as Google's Tensor will lose their attractiveness.

However one must note also that for now not even Snapdragon fulfills GOS requirements. If/when that changes, Snapdragon devices may have more open-source community momentum than Google's Tensor. Plus all the economy of scale, etc..

In terms of security, Microtek is even more far behind Snapdragon.

Again, not an Android dev here, take the text above with a grain of salt, YMMV, etc..
