You joke but their idea is to migrate all the remaining skype users to Microsoft Teams (consumer edition, incompatible and not interoperable with Teams business edition, they have the exact same icon but with the colors reversed)
It’s the same stuff, but worse™️
The BBK group, via vivo, oppo, realme, iqoo and OnePlus launches on the market 200 new phones every year. Can they make just a small one? Just one out of 200, don’t need more
The real reason is that they want to save money on the text messages (outside of the US they need to pay $0.05 each time), not because they actually care about user security.
Like when xitter ran out of money and didn’t pay their sms bills and people were locked out of their accounts
The dokuwiki cookie is not for user tracking but for functional use. You don’t need user consent for functional use. OP should remove the useless cookie banner altogether
GitHub? It was open source? Or it used their service as just free file storage for binaries? (Against TOS)
It’s a weak defense because the clients still exchanged metadata with other clients, plus there’s the big issue of using the copyrighted works for their own profit, and not just archiving/preservation/personal use
Where now are the copyright trolls that sued regular students for millions of dollars for downloading 30 songs?
Under federal law, the recording companies were entitled to $750 to $30,000 per infringement. But the law allows as much as $150,000 per track if the jury finds the infringements were willful.
Let me see:
So, a 15k billion dollars fine seem appropriate to give to Meta AND criminal sentences to all the c suite.
Or: apply the same rules to regular people and allow unlimited copyright violations without consequences
TL;DR: you pay $250 to let someone else install a custom ROM on the pixel tablet
Do you think he got obscenely wealthy paying armies of people?
He’s famous for firing people, not hiring
Eh good luck selling it with a locked bootloader, lots of bloatware preinstalled, without Google apps AND an update planned for next month that will remove completely the possibility of running any android app
List of applications that depended on it:
They’re not apple, if they increase the price it means they think most of the competition will increase the prices or nobody would buy their stuff
After all, the margins are thin and the tariff is high
maybe it was openwebui and the phone corrected it to openwebzine
They’re useful for printed media
“Find more info at bitly/event” instead of “find more info at facebook.com/unnecessarilylongurlthatnobodyisgoingtotype”
Or for a qr code where it needs to be small and somehow your URL is too long
But yes, relying on a third party company for something that needs to last a long time isn’t really smart. There are many books that have online content now inaccessible because they used a link shortener that’s dead or that doesn’t let you update the redirection without paying a ransom (need to pay $120/year to bitly if you need to change the redirection)
I remember blackberry using bitly links in their developer emails in 2013, and at the time it was possible to see the stats of any link by just adding “+” at the end of the link (now requires authentication or maybe only paid users can lock that page)
It was dismaying to see that it got only 50 clicks or so lol
At one point in history did it allow to download from Spotify or it’s just an intentionally misleading name?
It is (was) a service that redirected a short URL like bit.ly/customurl to www.example.com/extremely/long/path/to/share/and/type?parameter=crazy&anotherparameter=long
perfect for sharing
Edit: removed the potentially dangerous link thanks to @dabda@DABDA@lemm.ee
Well, they give the option to remove the ads altogether for just $120/year 😉
Although literally nobody would pay that ransom (100000x the actual server expense) to remove ads from their own links
This level of incompetence is unheard
100% faking that. Yesterday the esims got remotely disabled, the server shut off so it’s impossibile to push any OTA update.
If they really wanted, the fact that a loyal customer that paid almost one year of subscription had access to a certificate is completely irrelevant to publishing said OTA update
