Unfortunately “punish them by not buying it” won’t work for someone as big as them.

I’m saying that the sources of income are the same regardless of what the company structure or the software licence is.

Treat it however you want - from what I know even Mozilla has the same arrangement with Google and Firefox.

Partner integrations from what I know - search engines, bookmarks and so on.

CEOs gonna CEO.

By going back to the late 90s and watching Cartoon Network, duuh.

I feel that many Russians are against Putler’s regime, but are (rightfully so) too afraid to speak up.

Not give US healthcare again.

There, I fixed it.

Sad reality is that most things want to get you hooked and engaged in some way or another. Heck, even websites show you native device notifications now if you allow them, but I guess it’s easier for an app to get you to agree to that, even if the app is just a website wrapper…

Do they send an SMS/email to ask for feedback after that? If they do, you probably don’t need hints to know what to do with it.

Fair point, yeah. If it’s a no-hassle process for the customer to report something as stolen and get a refund or another item shipped (even without proof - because I figure not everybody has surveillance cameras), sure.

So it’s possibly cheaper for the seller not to require a signature (since it’s an extra service), but it’s no biggie if the package gets stolen? Seems logical…

It baffles me that “delivering” packages like this is a standard practice over there. I’m in the EU, and if I’m not home by the time the delivery is attempted, the company would call and ask when is a good time to try again, or would leave the thing to be collected at an office.

Maybe it was phrased like that for this very reason.

Thanks. Anything more specific in mind? I know Eizo for their monitors for colour-critical work and from looking on their site I’m only able to find a 50 something inch model that’s probably very expensive (I think it was in their medical lineup). As for iiyama, they have some 65 and 75" models for e-signage, but they’re running Android.

What would you guys recommend for a dumb TV with a good quality panel in the 65-75" range that’s a available to buy in the EU? My intention is to hook it up to my own device (probably a mini PC running some Linux distro with Kodi and some other stuff).

Fair enough. All I’m saying is that mouse gestures are so much ingrained in my muscle memory that their absence in native capacity (and reliance on extensions for that) is a show-stopper for me.

Hoping that Vivaldi is going to hold off somehow - perhaps with their built-in ad blocker. And before you say “switch to Firefox”, I’ll say I’m not gonna, at least not until I see native mouse gestures implemented and working everywhere.

NVMe in a phone would be something ridiculously inefficient both because of the form factor and the power draw.

This can IMO be both good and bad. Good if they take the existing design, thicken the body to make it flush with the camera modules and put a larger battery in that space; bad if they use the existing design and make the cameras thinner so that there’s no bump.

But hey, we can’t talk much sense to manufacturers who are happy if we buy a new toy every year…
