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.

Conversation starts with "we realize this looks bad". No shit. Thanks for the threat.

Kudos for immersing yourself in it!

Aw that's too bad. That response I'm sure you're paraphrasing, but "that one doesn't follow the rules" is the best part of science.

It means our rules aren't good enough, or we don't understand that one well enough. Figuring it out can be an entire career of discovery. And the reasons why can be fascinating and inspiring to more discoveries!

5700 in my server works just fine too, no difficulty setting it up. Running in Docker. Even does HDR tone mapping!

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...

Not so much well defined as fancy words. There is no example of a paying software development job that has no economic impact if the software were to fail.

If I ran a small shopify page for goat feed, I'd be an engineer for making sure the site stayed working so farmers could order their feed. It could even put lives at risk!

It really only excludes someone privately working on a video game for fun.

So given that, what are they actually regulating? What are they providing to their members to help them become better "software engineers". I say it's nothing at all? +
