What the commenter above was referring to is special API access for Nokia and a few key third-parties that regular devs were not allowed to use.
It was a strange time for Windows phone. Agreed, such a shame, it was an interesting UX-first design for its time.
Kudos for immersing yourself in it!
Broadcom is actually terrible, the Rpi foundation just had an in.
NXP deserves some credit for good board support packages and documentation.
Sure, I guess I maintain its that’s not what sarcasm is but we do agree on the point
They’re not being sarcastic, they are repeating Google’s (bs) justification
If only they banned sending mail and reading the newspaper we could have saved those kids.
(you missed the point of my comment)
Having a phone is an important part of participating in society like it or not. Not everyone has a happy home life of a home at all, and flatly banning anyone from owning a phone (purchased themselves) under 16 could further endanger young people already struggling in a dangerous situation. Or even just maintaining a job to survive.
Of course I don’t want to live in a world where under 16s need to work, or need to discretely contact help, but we have to face reality. Let’s fix that stuff rather than ban communication devices…
I hope you’re trolling because if not you need to do some research into what a battlefield is 👀
What on earth do you mean no evidence? I mean just check layoffs.fyi which specifically tracks this.
This is very much the bell curve meme, but those in the know would be aware that the US military had been working on it for a while now.

Steer by wire has been around for about 10 years now, mainly in Nissans.
Q50 was first. But it had a tiny mechanical backup. Toyota will bring a full system in Lexus models this year.
Its wild.
Dude I’ve never been on an A380 this may be my chance
Totally, but I’m not aware of anyone using either properly in a truly production environment. Both are more on the hobbyist or tinkering side, or in the Linux space anyway where you can already just do anything.
(From what I’ve seen? Would be thrilled to see examples!)
I really like Micropython too. I made a “game” that communicates state between multiple boards over wifi in almost no time compared to how long it would take in C++.
Aha on embedded not much choice there. It’s what keeps C alive and relevant for sure
I’m not suggesting replacing the small programs with one mega Python script, I meant that even C is not a good language for that either.
If you’re chaining a bunch of stuff together through your shell environment anyway, you’re not using the low level benefits of C, so you’re just punishing yourself with having to implement everything by hand every time! Python is amazing because the syntax is clear and readable and the standard library has nearly everything you’d need if you’re not building a large application.
However since most of these things are going to be one-liners then yeah you may want to just put them in one script!
Welcome to the world of JavaScript
What you’re describing sounds like Python. Not really C’s strong suit.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, you certainly should!
I know you’re not the owner of the project, but for your knowledge this is a static page hosted on Github Pages. There’s no “responding to demands” like a traditional web app!
Doesn’t FDroid still not allow automatic updates due to restrictions in Android?
Meanwhile yes the Samsung galaxy store has extra power over other store alternatives because they are a powerful OEM and can modify Android as they like.
Other OEMs (ones that are often not able to use Play Services) also have their own 1st party app store. Amazon is one, but many others exist in China.
