Yeah, hopefully something bigger hits them.

I admire this guy’s stubbornness. Sadly, even if he ends up winning, Samsung probably won’t feel this at all.

Same here. I’m an Opera refugee so to say (and I had high hopes for Opera actually). I’ve been using Vivaldi since its first public alpha/preview/whatever they were calling it.

I’m wondering what the decision making was when they were starting (which is now 10 years ago already, time flies, yo).

From today’s perspective, a Firefox fork sounds way more logical. Back then maybe things with Blink/Chromium weren’t looking so grim, maybe they were relying on the experience of that part of the team that moved over from Opera…

The folks at Vivaldi have been doing some work on their internal ad blocker, I think with the intention to bring most of the functionality of uBo internally so that it doesn’t have to be an extension. Not sure how far along they are, but maybe they’re intentionally keeping it quiet.

There is some truth to that, yes. But given that they’re still around means that they’re doing okay despite the questionable choices. Speaking from memory, they absolutely dominated the personal audio market (cassette players, then CD, then mp3/digital) - at least before the iPod came around. MiniDisc didn’t stick around, but they still had players for every big format of the day. And let’s not forget that they co-developed CD-DA.

They’ve made some strategic acquisitions (i.e. Minolta) and they’re in the big three of pro photography. That’s speaking just from my bubble as a hobbyist/semi-pro photographer - but now that I look at the Wikipedia page listing their acquisitions, there are literally hundreds of them.

What you’re saying about phones specifically might be true, I can’t speak from experience. When they had the P line of Symbian phones I still only had a feature phone with a monochrome screen - and by that time (which I remember reading in magazines) Nokia was the big smartphone player with a lot of Symbian phones sticking to the 320x240 format (so if apps were catering to that, there’s the problem). I don’t remember specifics about Sony Ericsson’s flavour of Symbian, but it seemed weird indeed. As of the feature phones from that time, I remember that many of them supported Java and things were mostly the same across brands.

Generally what you’re describing is almost as if Sony has wanted to be Apple - with the difference being that Apple has been significantly more successful in setting trends. Not a fan, but can’t not admit how big they are.

That’s strange. Any sources on that? I’d be interested to read up.

Whatever the reasoning, if it wasn’t for the other things and if displays were the only criteria, I would actually prefer Sony - a tall and narrow display would work nicely IMO (if you aren’t watching 16:9 videos all the time - which I am not), and Sony is also one of the very few manufacturers to offer displays without a punch hole and with very mellow corner rounding. I’m with larger hands and even so I think that my current phone - Nothing 3a Pro - 6.77", 20:9-ish aspect ratio - is just too large to be practical and I’d prefer something around 6" at most (and, as mentioned, something as tall, but narrower could work well).

Yeah, I’m aware. I have realistic expectations and I’m looking into running something simpler and less demanding.

I meant for private use.

As for work, we do use AI quite a lot and I don’t have a say over what’s available.

Local AI it is then. Not that I’m using all that much now anyway…

What are you even doing here then?

Yes, I’ve heard, but you might still have a choice to fill up at one without ads, whereas with a TV like this you buy it and you’re set with ads for the time you have it.

I meant post purchase, i.e. fuel once it gets in your tank and the TV once you get it home, but yeah, you’re right too.

One of those doesn’t come loaded with ads.

Maybe start with the fact that not all words in use in English are English words.

I’ve also heard that and it makes sense, but if it’s a statistic already at this point, can’t it serve as a way to improve information storing and handover? I have nothing in common with the medical industry, this is just an outside observation.
