US automakers have strong large unions. Real power in control of the economy. Too big to fail. Politicians don’t control them.

Trump doesn’t want to be on their naughty list.

Because of unions.

They had a working qnx phone that ran Android apps, but google didn’t let them run some essential services and store support was awful.

It was a good attempt though. Bb app devs were getting paid a lot better than Apple/android/microsoft because the apps could be priced higher. It’s the “free” apps that were a problem.

Netflix actively declined 2 full time devs paid for by BlackBerry to build and maintain an app. They weren’t going to get any additional subs from Netflix on qnx, it was just going to be a development boat anchor.

I still have my red bb passport and to this day still think it was the best mobile phone ever made.

This is going to be a sell it and lease it back scam right?

What’s the replacement? Quark express?

Then primary her.

He doesn’t have a long term plan. He’s near death.

Yucca Valley, a republican city where you’d regularly see Trump flags everywhere, trashed their local rep when he came by recently.

The simple way to deal with this is through extensions. Collect anonymized data through an extension, let the user decide to opt-out if they want.

Teams has a lot of Skype references under the hood…

It’s not Lemmy.

Next you’re going to tell me how the actors faces look is supposed to tell me how to feel.

Corps. All of the bells and whistles it has ties into the corps tenant which includes isolation of things like sync’d profiles, seamless sso, favorites, extensions, etc

Since it’s all under the tenant, all of that data is subject to the same privacy and policies the corp and MS agreed to, which makes it easy to work with other companies that have their own client policy requirements.

MS also makes it easy to control and harden all of their products including Edge using policy controls from a single UI.

You can’t do any of this with Firefox without extra effort.

Whether you like it or not, it’s almost the defacto for business collaboration.

Thunderbird lacks calendar, shared scheduling, and a number of other collab features.

Does it have an email/collab product line Outlook yet?

Edit: I just remembered that the New Outlook will be pretty cross-platform since it’s effectively OWA.

There’s a reddit link too but I think it’s the same video.

Here a video of one this weekend. Yucca Valley is a city where you’ll see Trump flags often.

America is an RV. It has wear, and items have needed maintenance or fixing. It’s a newer model than a lot of the other RVs on the road.

The rv has two families living in it. Every few hundred miles they decide who will be driving the next leg. Whoever is driving is responsible for all of the maintenance, repair, etc

The current driver is removing everything and leaving it in the side of the road. The bathroom, the sink, the pipes that keep the clean water separate from the sewage. They’re removing the dual tires and replacing it with a single spare tire. Over the years a lot of fixes have been put in place. Straps holding up different parts that were sagging. Pipes with flex tape wrapped around them. The driver is removing all of these fixes because he thinks they aren’t needed.

They’re removing have disassembled the engine and thrown out the hvac, cooling, and even the alternator.

They installed a nitrous kit to boost the engine’s power output.

There’s a few of their friends on the side of the road point at the items they think can be taken off. They’re selling those parts and keeping the money for themselves.

Sadly the drivers only experience with maintaining an rv is when he pretended to be one on a reality tv show. Before then he tried selling cars for a dealership his dad gave him but he wasn’t good at it and the dealership went out of business.

They might stir up a war for a third term.
