  Disadvantage of said system for Google would be the fact that if you do that, people can skip ads much faster and they won’t be able to do any tracking of interaction at all. For advertiser’s point of view, that would be just worse version of TV commercial.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For many memory intensive operation, this is incorrect since by that logic, Apple’s chip should use far more memory due to having quarter as many registers for those purpose. (32x64 vs. 32x256)

  Most processors have cache memories for reasons you stated.

  COBOL case is bit different. You can’t just modernize millions of lines of code that is functionally unique without service disruption - and services that uses COBOL that large often tends to be very sensitive.

  The fact that COBOL as a language is both atrocity to either use or read didn’t help that either.

  If so, they should pay for Q/A and/or focus testing themselves. Not freeload off from forcing users.

  I can already see that this won’t gather them any data that is actually useful for analysis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After luring customers with low prices, Amazon stuffs Fire TVs with ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I’m okay with old concept of ads. But it was them that decided that ads must double dip with customer information and it was them that decided that ads viewed by people who are engaged to the ads doesn’t count as ads that was ‘seen’.

  Continuous race to the bottom since then.

  Well. If you put a large glass window on the reinforced steel safe to make sure you can observe inside the safe. You can’t exactly expect criminals to not just smash window instantly to take everything instead of struggling to open the safe harder way.

  Making master key is also not the approach that works because unlike physical keys, digital keys can be copied millions of times exactly without any flaw over miliseconds without requiring any specialized tool on site.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Really, ….. it's my fault they built a terrible system?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I do want to point out that no one is actually complaining about price of just building per say. Trailer is fine and all, but does that 20k cover land and basic utilities like water and heating/cooling (Is it well insulated?) in reasonable price and effort? Is Trailer Park actually located close enough to jobs (I don’t remember gas and time being free) and it is secure from natural disaster?

  That aside, NIMBY mindset is generally dumb stance when everyone is taking it. So there’s that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering Samsung during their cost cutting days designed Galaxy Xcover Pro 2 without drawback just fine, I think everyone will be able to do it without drawback just fine as well.
