Sounds like shithole company behavior at its finest, who cares about responding to support queries after all? Cheaper to not backfill vacant support positions than engage with actually supporting your products.

Verizon on the Wireless side has so little bloat compared to AT&T from what I saw.
The ICBC has a literal state sponsored monopoly over car insurance, titling a vehicle and driver licensing, whereas in the US no state handles car insurance, while titling a vehicle and driver licensing are not necessarily the same state organizations.
This state sponsored vertical integration enables abuse of authority in cases like https://www.reddit.com/r/nottheonion/comments/xa9j3x/church_...
Whereas here in the US I know many people that mix and match between different states DOLs and DORs for a variety of reasons, and your not going to get stuck with the same stubborn employee who can control every facet of your ability to identify yourself and also legally drive a vehicle on the road.
The DUI checkpoints up in BC are wild too, I'm glad they are banned in Washington and Oregon. Suspicionless stopping of cars en masse followed by interrogation by police seems like an overreach.
ROCm is a fragile stack that works on a very small subset of AMD's hardware with 3 blessed Linux distros. It doesn't have to be this way, most APUs and GPUs from AMD should be able to run ROCm even on Debian, Nix, or a distro of the user's choosing.
Thankfully some Instinct hardware is super underpriced, so if your willing to make the effort you can run things really fast for rather cheap :D
Spending the money to recruit the employee, then pay them for a year or two, only to lose this talent is a great way to light cash on fire. That ain't cheap when your talking about hiring software developers!
Unless your willing to put up with a huge ration of shit on a regular basis, or you make it into management, your time is limited by the up and out mentality of the organization as a whole.
Amazon has created the perfect scenario to spend shitloads of money getting talent up to speed, only to part ways with them shortly thereafter.
Its impressive that you can get a gigabit, WiFi 6 capable router with a new Qualcomm 5G/LTE chipset to fit in such a small power envelope!
The IMS core that powers calling and texting on most cellular networks has not been upgraded to route calls and texts over 5G Standalone yet (or if so, it doesn't seem to work with the Pixel 6 or 7 on T-Mobile or AT&T), meaning most phones stay on 5G Non-Standalone which is a substandard experience.
Visible is a deprioritized version of Verizon's cellular network, so when your on a busy tower you will see slower speeds than postpaid Verizon Wireless customers. Verizon also happens to have the slowest network over the last few years since they have the most customers using it (nearly 130 million users) and smaller spectrum holdings than the other two major cellular networks.
Verizon also chose to deploy 5G service using spectrum sharing, so 4G and 5G speeds are very similar: https://www.zdnet.com/article/verizon-5g-dss-isnt-the-5g-you...
T-Mobile is using dedicated (and much larger sized) low and midband spectrum for their 5G connectivity, plus they have almost half as many customers, resulting in much faster speeds.
That being said 5G is still in its infancy, 5G Standalone is really needed to lower your phone's power use (so its not connecting to LTE and 5G at the same time), reduce latency and jitter, and allow 5G to stretch further for a more stable connection.
The alternatives to child labor are: - Leave Cobalt in the ground due to lack of workers - Starves the economy - Damages government finances, potentially destabilizing the situation further - Import workers from other countries - High costs relative to local labor - Poor worker treatment (see guest worker programs in UAE, Qatar, etc) - Buy equipment to mechanize production - Requires significant capital - May require significant research and development - Requires infrastructure (power, water, roads, etc) that is not developed currently - Takes decades to implement
There isn't a good way out of this situation without an outside benefactor spending massive sums of money, and Apple and every other significant Cobalt purchaser would rather have cheap inputs than disturb the current state of affairs.
Who would buy this product given how inexpensive most Qi chargers are?
Also, did they make an effort to avoid interference and overheating like what AirPower experienced?
Its very similar to not being a blue bubble in some regards, but Facebook has a much broader scope than just being a messenger platform.
Excited for the EU to fix the closed messenger issue, then I can have 3rd party clients to bridge all my communications securely into one unified view, just gotta make sure that these large companies don't try and open up these platforms by hiding your end to end encryption keys on their servers :D
I don't think the average ISO has the knowledge let alone a published set of credentials to receive card data, the ISO industry really sticks to the tooling platforms provide.
If Whisper achieves 85% or higher accuracy on this audio, it would be a miracle. Garbage in, garbage out tbh. Project 25 needs to move to a modern codec, ideally not one seeing little development done by one small company.
Google has not provided any public API for RCS, and they control the ecosystem fully. If Google wanted other clients to use RCS as a platform, there would be public APIs that Signal, iMessage, Textra, Facebook Messenger and other SMS clients could integrate with.
OS updates make or break devices long term.
Some MSPs I work with make good money just converting businesses from Gsuite to Office 365. I don't use either platform personally or at my work, but I understand why Microsoft is eating the SaaS email & baseline office tools market.
Whether Signal can catch up to its open and closed source competition remains an open question, and I don't think features like Signal Stories are going to be what helps them start nipping at the heels of the other much larger competition.
