Does Skype no longer do POTS calls?

If you pay them. I say it’s not going to succeed specifically because I haven’t.

Right, but if you're not on a device with a built in phone connection then it's reasonable to open skype and similar apps that can do phone calls (even if they cost money).

This is correct. My gums unfortunately receded and * my teeth are extremely sensitive * the area is sore constantly * I will need a graft from elsewhere in my mouth to correct it.

How much of that is the APU? I’d imagine the bottleneck would lie with manufacturers using the cheapest panels and digitizers they can.

I think the panels and digitizer used in automotive applications are pretty specialized and relatively expensive. They have environmental requirements that far surpass that of typical consumer products.

Worked for me, what did you `cat`?

I did `cat about` I think which was the wrong thing to do. Didn't know that was a folder. It works fine.

Sorry if this was asked already but is Synth chromium based?

No problem. It is. I an curious how you feel about that. The engine is a bit agnostic of the rendering layer (we will have a similarly powerful iOS app at some point too).

I dislike it because chromium is almost a monoculture and Google controls it. I’m not diametrically opposed to chromium based browsers but I might be more hesitant to switch.

I was excited for a moment, when I saw that someone was working on a new browser, then I admit that I felt a bit disappointed to read this. I think we need more rendering engines out there, or at least wider distribution of the current ones to get chromium‘s market share down.

I like this if it gives me access to my chrome extensions- can’t live without some of them. Non-chromium is a non-starter because of this

I generally oppose anything Chromium, because it's ushering in a return to the shitty days of "this site is best viewed in Microsoft Explorer."

But... not sure what an independent developer is to do about that.

Firefox is just as (or more) open source as Chromium. If I wanted to fork a browser that’s where I’d start.

As far as I know its Alibaba stock got split off into its own company (Altaba)

Yes, but that happened after the MS bid.

Probably the opposite, instant massive userbase, then just slowly phase out the meat bags.

If you figure it out let me know.
