That's just vile. is there any /good/ defense of this kind of agreement other than a 'think of the children' argument that people might make a mistake in their performance reviews?
That article only lists MS and Oracle though. Apart from IBM, I don't think CockroachDB Enterprise has such a prohibition, nor does Google Spanner (I think?), nor does Amazon Aurora (again I think?). And of course all the open source competitors don't have this clause.
Basically my impression is that DeWitt clauses are common enough to be well-known, but still in the distinct minority. That's just an impression though.
I know that this is stupid pet peeve but my number one thing to fix is not being able to change the extension of a file with the standard iOS tools. (or is there a way to do this?)
The length to which I needed to go to when I needed to do this recently on a video which was shared with me was mind boggling. I'm not sure if this is because the video was in Files and not in Gallery, but it shouldn't really matter. If anything, that would be exactly where I'd expect to have such a feature.
I didn't hear about ROG Phone 2 and it has some features which I really like, but I think the killer for me was lack of Micro SD and a better camera.
If only there would be a flagship phone which has all: an awesome camera (I snap loads of photos, the whole "best camera is the one you have with yourself" mantra), big battery and a Micro SD slot, it would be an instant buy for me.
So far I've been upgrading my Samsung Galaxy from 2 -> 4 -> 8+ as that was the closest I could find to what I wanted from the phone, but I'm happy to change to any other brand.
I can understand the lack of focus on the camera, but yeah the missing MicroSD slot for a gamer phone doesn't make much sense to me. That seems like an important feature for that kind of phone to have.
Honestly, I'm very disappointed that Samsung also started stripping down its Note line. That's the phone that should have all the features--MicroSD, headphone jack, stylus, amazing camera, etc.
I'm in the same boat as you are. I've been going from Samsung phone to Samsung phone for ages now, but they've taken their "pro" line and started taking out "pro" features...just like Apple. :\
I'm not sure how to take your comment. Are you implying that spying on other countries is ok? Or that US has so much control that it should not be messed with?
What if someone drops a comment with a link to child porn?
Don't get me wrong, as much as I support the idea of no censorship, there's always a need for a janitor to clean somebody's graffiti on the wall. In an online world, those janitors tend to abuse their power though.
They pretend to be buying the name and string you along for a while, after a bit they request you swap the name onto a fresh account before they'll send you the money. If you try to swap the name, they'll use a script to automatically register it.
Apparently lots of people fall for this, at least according to the scammers. Given how many DMs I get every day, I don't doubt it at all.
