  • Maintaining and testing such an app has costs and risks. They may think it’s more secure that signal does this. It is also harder to attack all of signal.

    They are also significantly resource constrained, everything they have goes towards defence. The effort building the app could be deployed on developing weapon systems they can’t buy.

    Your right nations should have their own independent systems for secure communications for military, politicians and civil service.

  • TV licence people were never capable of detecting TV like this. They just assumed everyone has a TV but not everyone pays for the licence. So would pursue people without a licence.

    They’re main detection technology was looking in peoples windows and intimidation to gain access to their homes.

  • It’s difficult to get anything to work on android tv when you don’t sign and don’t enable all the google shit. Even then the privacy statement is still bend over or your tv doesn’t boot past this screen.

    The Apple TV much better.

    It may be better than current android tv because the shield is so old and not been updated in so long.

    Apple TV doesn’t have ads only what’s on when you have the app icon selected. Except inside apps that have ads.

  • It does track if you realise the category of phone does not have much demand. Foldables are a novelty that many people will be discouraged from buying due to issues (perceived and real).

    It’s a waste of money to improve these phones if the market isn’t there. It’s much better to focus on the markets you have a reasonable chance of growing sales in.

    I imagine all smart phone categories are fairly stagnant now. Phones have been more than good enough for many years now that replacing them is more about replacing worn out unsupported hardware rather than getting better performance and features.

  • This is a good thing. His motivation may be more sinister. It could create a situation where non medical treatments can be advertised without restriction and genuine medicines can’t. It needs to be applied to all treatments, even unregulated ones.

  • The player does have a large effect on both those things. A player that supports the codec will not need server hw accept and hdr conversion as it will direct stream. A big issues is these codecs can cost money. So if the player doesn’t come with it the player needs to pay for it, something plex may be doing for those that purchased their subscription.

  • Scottish water is owned by the Scottish Goverment. It provides additional funding to the Scottish Goverment, unlike the water companies in England that require subsidies. It does this while providing the highest quality water in the UK, at the cheapest price and with challenging geography. The Scottish Goverment aren’t doing anything special, they just understand monopoly services can be provided efficiently by the government. It’s complete feasible for the rest of the UK to do this.

    Privatisation is not and has never been about efficiency. It’s about extracting the common wealth of the nation. Highly efficient business vertically integrate. Like Starbucks makes their own cups and this allows them to operate at a higher profit margin. Apple designs their own packaging, processor’s and software as this allows them to operate at a higher profit margin. The same would be true for governments.

    The problem is we elect people that don’t believe Goverment can be run effectively and efficiently. We shouldn’t be suprised when these politicians don’t run the Goverment effectively and efficiently.

  • Yeah, the three percent rise likely would have happened either way. The prices are what the economy will tolerate not the cost of business. If the cost of business exceeds the price the economy will tolerate the business folds. This should make the businesses that are left over more efficient. The most efficient countries (highest GDP) tend to have higher wages.

  • This would make the protocol less secure. Currently is limited to set software and hardware. It’s very difficult to exploit.

    It would also provided access to more information about the user than they currently would expect to share when they have airdrop enabled.

    Apple would have to redesign airdrop significantly to support this or risk major privacy and security issues. If apple does this you should stop using airdrop.

  • The headline suggests they didn’t, but they did protect jobs.

    The union stopped even more layoffs from happening. They stopped a 10% wage cut, and the jobs that are being cut won’t be immediately cut as planned.

    This provides employees more time and more salary to find a new role elsewhere. The unions had to accept the reality of the situation, they would all be out of work if the company folded. They did win much fairer treatment for the employees than they would have had otherwise. They also got more support from the goverment to keep the business running and keep factories open than the business could get alone.

    Unions work and this wasn’t an exception. In fact the union probably benefitted the shareholders as they produced an outcome that is more sustainable long term than the business leaders and shareholders would have chosen without the threat of strikes.
