Would Google allow edge on a Chromebook?

Microsoft has fallen in the market-share of OSs, can no longer be considered monopolist move.

But yes, it's a new low, there was never a "new Microsoft" just better PR.

It's just the official admission of guilt. Nor for the money.

«...we are taking steps with Waymo to ensure our Lidar and software represents just our good work.»

Waymo will have access to Ubers Lidar and software.

And an admission of guilt.

Interesting. I heard the taste described as pretty bad only. (And especially the smell.)

But that was third-hand knowledge at best.

Some time ago I did complete depart from Apple apps and services, while still using Mac. It was pain to extract all the images from Photos but music transition to cmus was smooth. I am mostly playing di.fm stations and cmus works well with subscription links. Sadly both cmus and mplayer on Mac rely on Carbon components so there is big console warning for using deprecated components and more importantly they can't be send to background. If somebody got them playing as background process please let me know.
