Yep. Its not a bad idea at all, stuff like this is what made Chrome huge on Android. A lot of users will never change default settings.
I mean I would love to live in a world were people make informed decisions based on research but that's not happening. Meanwhile advanced users retain the freedom to use whatever browser they want so everyone wins.
Its why dual audio is often missing and why undubs are illegal.
America in general. A surgeon in the Netherlands can wait DECADES for a kid with gunshot wounds. Its just textbook stuff but if you want to see it in action the US is a good place to learn.
My healthcare provider always opts for the generic drugs. When that's not an option they negotiate hard with big pharma.
It amuses me how in the ostensibly capitalist US nobody cares about efficiency. You would think that the insurance companies in the US would care about profits, instead billions are being wasted every year. It wouldn't even be so bad if healthcare was actually the best in the world so people would get what they pay for but it is not even close...
On a side note my ublock origin went into overdrive on androidpolice. How many trackers does a man need FFS?!
Well most countries have living constitutions. I think its only natural to update the constitution every once in a while, a document from 1848 predates gay rights for instance.
Or you could just do away with it all and go for a one man one vote system. Why a vote in Kansas needs to be tallied differently from a vote in New York in the 2020 elections is beyond me.
As someone who writes with his left hand I hate them with a vengeance. Haven't looked at them since primary school.
This incidentally is why I chose a OnePlus: for its 6Gb of RAM.
"available free of charge" And that's the point were you become the product.
Yep, I'm the one who decides when and what to buy. No manipulation needed.
User agent sniffing is still around.
If you're uding something different from the approved four, Edge/Safari/FF/Chrome, lots of sites will nag you.
Reverse that trend by giving away tickets? Is that sustainable?
I never understood the concept behind this app anyway. You save money with tickets but are supposed to buy more overpriced food in the theatre? Thats not how you save money. Must be an American thing.
Well I personally despise all tech companies selling out their users whether they are from the US, France or Peru. Its a fact on the ground many are from the US though.
By all means name all the social media sites that are breaking the law on this scale and the EU is ignoring. I'll be sure to contact my local ombudsman.
Outcasts and undesirables aren't invited to parties. Is that censorship or is that just how society works?
Not true actually. There are many different forms of Islam. The Islam most people are familiar with today is the crappy one Saudi Arabia has been pushing. With Western oil money ironically.
Its quite normal in my opinion for the police to invest more resources in pursuing a kidnapping case than a bicycle theft.
You clearly underestimate the cost of providing fibre to every house. This is why in the past electricity, water and phone lines were rolled out by the government.
Policing is always about setting an example.
The entire tech industry can now consider themselves warned. Not even giant American corporations with direct links to the White House are above the law.
Not really surprising, my own country is still profiting from the massive investment in cable done by the state owned telecom operators in the 80s. Infrastructure like this is something that can only be done with government support.
It is however technically against the ToS to buy digital games from a different region than the one you are a citizen of, but that's not MS/Sony/Nintendo/Valve cares to enforce until nations tell them to.
The NHS is based on solidarity. Good luck with that in the US.
Fitting for a country founded by real Templars.
I think its incredibly difficult to find success without a huge marketing campaign. Launch against Zelda or GTA and you'll need a miracle.
For consumers yes. But I understand that Facebook might not like it since it goes against their business case.
Ublock origin filters update automatically. You can find filters specifically targeted at mining.
Deny access to EU citizens. If EU citizens then lie about their identity its out of your hands.
Everyone is freaking out. If GDPR is a success Americans may want it too. The same happened with Steam refunds.
