Oh I didn’t mean that your phone was a Samsung. Was just referencing the fact that people’s brand recognition was forever altered by an issue that objectively was not a major issue in the grand scheme. Companies don’t want to risk that type of thing again.

When has an existing solution prevented a new one from being developed?

Yeah… they have a tendency to spread into unrelated markets, and then dominate.

Probably most notably, Nintendo originally made Hanafuda cards.

Falls from any height really. Even from sitting. It’s easily one of the biggest causes of health issues leading to death. A broken bone for a normal person usually isn’t life threatening, but for the elderly it can easily be a death sentence.

Mine’s been working great for nearly 2 years now. 👍

Most Galaxy Note 7 devices were not affected by the manufacturing flaw. Most manufacturers don’t want to take that risk without larger sample sizes and edge case testing.

That pisses me off to no end. The car knows how fast it is going, it has to show you. Just make the lights come on based on deceleration, regardless of how it happens. It doesn’t even need dedicated hardware. It’s just lazy coding and development.

Most of the money ‘lost’ to piracy is money that never existed. With fragmented streaming services one picks what they are paying for and needs to find a way to watch the rest.

This was the very first thing that came to my mind. How much of this “lost” revenue from piracy is actually revenue they lost because the content isn’t available legally where it is being consumed?

a short lived USB connector type B

Not short lived at all, it’s literally one of the three standard connectors alongside A and C. USB is an inherently directional protocol, so one side if the host device and the other is the peripheral device. The difference between Type A and B plugs helped enforce that directionality. Prior to the C connector becoming the new standard regardless of direction, all USB cables had both a Type-A and Type-B connector. (A to A cables violate the spec, and are an abomination).

The miniUSB and microUSB connectors are both Type-B connectors, just physically smaller to accommodate smaller peripheral devices. There’s also technically a mini-A and micro-A, but they’re very uncommon since host devices are usually large enough for a full size plug, and now USB 3.0+ Type-C connections don’t require a directional cable the same way.

It’s probably more about large variances in temperature over a shorter period. If it’s already -36 today and been similarly cold recently then the trees are already frozen. There isn’t a risk from internal liquid water freezing and expanding.

I could see a startup with a limited or basically non-existent legal team sending something like this out thinking it’s a positive since most companies ghost candidates.

That same type of small startup also might try to avoid exactly what they cited because they know they can’t really compete currently and are trying to find people willing to be taken advantage of to get it off the ground.

It is almost certainly fake, but I don’t think it’s in any way impossible, just very unlikely.

You can even self host it… And easily export your data from their hosted solution to your own.

Nah, it’s pretty simple actually. If the archive doesn’t exist at all, they can’t even steal from it.

I tried to find something on marketplace a month ago. Dozens of posts because it’s a super common item, all posts were a week or less old. None were legitimate. Every one was a scam, responses all leading to bullshit websites to buy, or users that never responded.

Has to get the item on Ebay instead because apparently they actually have basic scam prevention systems in place while Facebook apparently doesn’t have shit.

Assuming they’re not just talking about a bruise… How do we even know the damage was from this event?

This is the same chuckle fuck that held onto the fucking car back in June last year and forced himself to be dragged to try and justify his bullshit.

This fucking idiot might have just fallen down the stairs at home given his lack of mental capacity.

Sometimes those are the chains directly… More often they’re just ghost kitchens. Someone else owns the brand, and has an already established kitchen make the food for delivery apps, and they take a cut from the sale.

Many ghost kitchens aren’t even normal restaurants you would drive to, they’re just commercial kitchens in generic business space that make food for a dozen or so ghost kitchen brands.
