IIRC Samsung doesn't allow OEM unlock on snapdragon devices sold in US.

Sales is up compared to last year but still doesn't meet target? Hmm... this infinite growth thing is harder than I though.
Which EV brands? Those Chinese EVs aren't created equal, the good ones are great for its price, while the bad one should be named and shamed.
Are they still doing the EV credit thing?
Subsidy definitely helps, but those Chinese car manufacturers are able to squeeze their parts suppliers hard, so they're able to sell their cars cheaper even without subsidy. For example, their gasoline cars are about half the price of comparable Japanese models, even with engines sourced from GM/Ford.
The Bolt isn't cheap though (almost 2x of Honda Fit price), and wasn't produced in sufficient quantity. The Chinese EV companies are somehow able to produce entry level EV models with minimal features at a price cheaper than Honda Fit and they're selling like hot cakes both domestically and in neighboring Asian countries.
companies of the modern era have to justify their existence not just with success, but growth, and Microsoft's been struggling to do that
"The last year or so in videogames," says Bond, "largely the industry's been flat … [we saw some] tremendously groundbreaking games, but the growth didn't follow all that."
Whelp, now that everyone went back to work and not stuck at home anymore, it's actually amazing that the video game industry is still flat, but apparently that's not enough. Probably nothing can top covid19 effect to game industry anytime soon, unless they have another virus in the work /s
Just producing EV versions of Honda Fit or Ford Fiesta like what the Chinese EV makers do is enough. Instead, they keep producing EVs with luxury features (and high price tags) then surprised people won't buy them without subsidy.
A car as cheap as a moped. Amazing!
It was supposed to be the react-native killer!
I once crashed gdm by accidentally leaving some object on top of my keyboard which depressed some keys for hours.
It's sad that you can't replace the infotainment unit in a new car with an aftermarket unit anymore. I imagine 10 years from now we'll have a fleet of cars with outdated infotainment systems that can't connect with whatever future version of bluetooth/carplay/android auto anymore. Imagine driving cars with giant but useless infotainment screens that can't do anything but playing mp3 off a USB stick because its outdated system can't connect to your new phone.
The problem is, these new phones often have new speed charging protocols that only work best with their own charger, basically forcing you to pay more to get the charger if you want to utilize speed charging unless you already have a new-ish charger from that manufacturer.
