On the other hand, many parts of Android, including the default system WebView, are updated from the Play Store like regular apps, and don’t need a full OS update.

But the cloud thing and the container thing actually happened. Not 100%, but it is basically the standard these days.
Of the things you mentioned, only crypto is mostly bullshit tech with no actual use.
So are you or are you not implying that this would be quietly enabled without explicitly prompting the user?
Or you could just turn the feature off. Or just not enable it in the first place, as it’s possibly illegal to do this without showing an allow/disallow prompt at least - so just don’t click allow. Just saying.
I guess the ones they stopped just weren’t covert enough.
C is one of the few languages where using goto
makes sense as a poor man’s local error/cleanup handler.
Trains are expensive to run if you don’t have enough passengers (like in small villages).
Kotlin is a really nice language with plenty of users, good tooling support, gets rid of a lot of the boilerplate that older languages have, and it instills many good practices early on (most variables are immutable unless specified otherwise, types are not nullable by default unless specified otherwise, etc)
But to get the most “bang for your buck” early on, you can’t beat JavaScript (with TypeScript to help you make sense of your codebase as it keeps changing and growing).
You will probably want to develop stuff that has some user interface and you’ll want to show it to people, and there is no better platform for that than the web. And JS is by far the most supported language on the web.
And the browser devtools are right there, an indispensable tool.
Peace treaty signed, then Russia invades 2 years later anyway and takes over everything?
That’s trivial to filter if you just look at how much time has passed between posting and editing. Reddit comments are only very rarely updated after more than a day.
Another advantage is that it doesn’t force people to initially buy the higher version because “what if I end up needing it in the future” (like what Apple forces you to do with non-upgradable storage), even if you never do. It lets you buy the cheaper version for now, with the possibility to change your mind later.
Which is exactly like the “camera collabs” that phone makers sometimes do that end up being nothing more than marketing gimmicks.
Like the OnePlus camera “by Hasselblad” that is quality wise the same as any other smartphone camera in that price category.
Flutter - the framework - is great. Dart as a language is tolerable - lot of ugly boilerplate, manual codegen, and things you can’t quite express correctly are everywhere, but if you’re not too much of a stickler, Flutter is still worth it (at least until Compose Multiplatform matures - if ever).
Shouldn’t AI be good at detecting and flagging ads like these?
With enough technological advances, they might be able to just switch to salt water.
It’s silly to imagine all these “way out there” scenarios without also imagining progress in other areas.
Pretty sure these things need to be certified and there are laws about what parts you are and are not allowed to use.
Not saying highly regulated industries don’t ever have problems (look at Boeing), but it’s not like they can just arbitrarily decide to cut costs wherever.
There are many different types of capacitors, most of which don’t contain any liquid at all (including the most common type - ceramic capacitors).
But in general, you would use specially rated components and materials if you need them to last decades - not the cheapest most basic parts you can find.
Other types of implanted devices have dealt with the same things decades ago.
Some already give you a 30% “discount” (i.e. the regular price is just higher) if you sign up for an entire year.
It does - it’s also mentioned in the article.
The ironic thing is that if it weren’t for free software, the entire AI industry would likely be a decade behind where it is today, if not more.
