Found when browsing Market-Place. Looks like a serious sellers. Although no mentioning of low-ballers and tyre kickers.

I'm not sure about ATMs, they often ran OS/2.

Windows CE often ran media centres or UI panels in things like John Deere tractors or the Fiat 500.

It was also the OS that ran the Dreamcasts UI.

The platform has been out of control ever since mUsK took over. How long after the twitter blue 🐂💩, was it that Eli Lilly "announced" dropping the cost for insulin?

You really take some risks when you still advertise or do serious business on twitter.

mRNA? Oh boy the anti vaxxers are going have have their heads explode.

Great news though as that's a pretty common cancer.

We have to draw a line to Putin's bullying of the world and threatening world hunger somewhere.

Escorting ships from that terrorism is IMHO A-OK. If putler decides to attack those ships and trigger Article 5, that doesn't mean we strike with Nuclear weapons. Article 5 simply means, respond accordingly.

If putler wants to escalate to that and beyond, that's on him! Send escort vessels out.

Edit: fixed typos because I suck with at typing on touch screens.

Indonesia is just bizarre. They've got the most draconian and nonsensical laws. The only step up is a full on fascist country like China or russia.

Other than being cheap, I don't understand why so many digi nomads want to live there.

Louis posted a video on a much bigger problem that Google has with ads. These campaigns seem to completely neglect.

In short: it's fake views. That's were advertisers pay for viewed ads, but the view happened to a bot. Ad block at least doesn't discourage advertisers since they don't pay for unviewed ads.

A current state of Place on Reddit shows seems to seems to be signalling something to u/spez :)

Hungary, have you finally over-stepped it?

[-] MeshPotato@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Yeah, In russia that’s very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Maybe doubling down will help . . . Getting this platform to disappear 100%!

Reading through the comments, almost everyone missed the elephant in the room. The big problem with long term support is not on the phone or chip manufacturers.

...::: It's GOOGLE! :::... Just compare the history of Android with Windows. Windows 10 is still supported for another 2 years, yet it was released in mid 2015. Every Windows 10 capable device is still receiving updates till then.

Contrast that with Android. Android 6.0 came out in October 2015. Yet very few devices from that era are supportable today. Why? A large part of that is based on Google's never ending -> breaking changes <- and random new requirements that make older devices incompatible.

This got me personally when I bought a Sony Z3 with the intention of having a "future proof" phone. It was openly advertised as being a dev device for Android 7, so much so that a preview release was downloadable for it.

Only for Google to drop a new requirement for the GPU to have minimum OpenGL ES 3.1, while the GPU only had the instructions for 3.0. WTF?! I might add, the specification for 3.1 was only released to the public 2 years prior.

I seriously hope that some alternative to Android will establish itself again. We had Windows phone, which Microsoft utterly butchered. IOS is not an alternative as that's tied to one manufacturer.

It lasted nearly 2 weeks longer than I had anticipated. First it slowed and now it's finally dead. "Error 429 - Too many requests" is the message I'm greeted with.

Thanks Ruben for your work. I wish I had known the Boost app earlier.

Im now eagerly awaiting Boost for Lemmy.

Thanks for your efforts. I know that Lemmy was put in place rather quickly as a Reddit alternative. But I'm genuinely hopeful that this will be a good alternative.
