How's that work for you on Android? Firefox on Android with uBlock is the huge win.

They also have the "extensions that can do real ad blocking" angle.

I've been using Chrome with uBlock Origin Lite and not even once I found a case when this version of uBlock was behaving differently (as less efficient) than the "full" uBlock Origin

Maybe I'm just lucky, but even this argument is quite ... meh

I might have generalized then. It’s maybe something that we had only in the south (aka the broc à eau area). We also used it to check our age of course.

no I was in IDF and the glass gets your age and the oldest or youngest had to fetch the water, so it not only in the south

As the article said Duralex was the brand use by a large number of school cantinas in France. Inside of each glass there’s a small number used by the brand to identify the mold used for the creation of the glass. For kids that was a way to decide who is going to fetch the water for the table (smaller number or higher number of the table). That’s why the CE is holding his glass like that in the guardian article. Beside the nostalgia i think a lot of people support them because it’s a SCOP (the majority of the capital of the company is owned by the employees) [1] and it’s nice to see that another kind of company is possible.

To complete, the number was also deciding what age we were for that day

I was under the impression the LIDAR approach was compromised by rain? Did something change or did I not understand it right?
WawaFin · 2 years ago
there are many video showing waymo trips during rain or even (heavy) fog

few examples : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4aBNYcBoLI ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8TGFA6SfAo

The article mistakes that iPhone has any support guarantee. It doesn't. The latest iPhone might stop receiving security updated a week after it ships. Or a century.

In practice, Apple has shipped updates longer than competitors, but there is no guarantee. With Android vendors, there's a guaranteed support life.

It's a question of the degree you trust that part performance predicts future performance versus written policies.

The only OEM that does officially guarantees updates support timeframes is Google

Samsung claim a support timeframe but they never released a page like Google's one (https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705?hl=en) as far as I know

And even if we use Samsung claims as some sort of guarantee, we also need to take into account that while Google use the "at least" terminology, Samsung uses "at most" or "up to". Which basically means that they commit to nothing since a "up to 4 years of updates" (with one major update per year) could both means 1 or 0 updates or 4 updates
