Yes it would, but a board who isn't inhibited by sharing the USB and network on the same bus and is supported like rPI wouldn't cost this kind of money. I'm quite surprised about the price (70€ with free shipping over EU), which is very tempting for someone who needs an external drive anyway.

I hope there is more in the future to come in this area to bring the notion of home owned appliances instead of the cloud. Specially with IoT around the corner - those devices should communicate to a home server like this only.

> This is a Linux-only BIOS, meaning it should be used only by those who want to load the OS. If you want to continue with Windows, do not load the firmware. “This BIOS is not intended to be used on machines running Windows operating systems,” Lenovo said.

One step forward, two steps back.

And that's precisely why people start voting the alternative in EU.

I paid for offline GPS software which lets me download whole continents of data to my phone. Paying roaming charges to be able to navigate is a joke in my book.

No, you can't save the whole country in Maps. You can't even save certain regions in certain countries (Austria being an example).

> inequality globally is on the way down, which is why it's on the way up locally

Globalization helped low and middle class people in developing countries on expense of middle class westerners. But the main catch is that those gains are miniscule, the most went to the rich who profited the most of globalization - hence voting for it heavily.

Yeah, let's end it.

Lets start with Muslims condemning the middle age doctrines other Muslims live by in 2016 on national scales, so perhaps something similar to "enlightenment" is possible.

Playing the victim card is the easiest.

Do you have an idea how to "sense" the connection ? The app Trigger might help you writing a scenario to launch the Android Auto app on a certain trigger.

> This really sucks for AutoMate.

Why ? This app can't launch anything except couple Google apps. While this might be godtier in the Google bubble, many of users would also like to use other navigation/media apps with it.

Can't set a shortcut for own apps ? Laughable. Seems more of a launcher for 3 Google apps + added value of Trojan horse for data collection while driving.

I wished for Android Auto to get released in this form, but this isn't something I thought a multi billion corporation with talented software engineers would come up with.

Here's some real usage info:

Gavin • 4 hours ago I just finished driving to work with this (I navigate to work every day for the traffic information). Having not read the article (just the headline) before heading out, I was somewhat shocked that it didn't respond to "OK Google" commands.

I also found the message overlay extremely annoying. My wife sent me a text message, and instead of the topside "heads-up" notification normally containing the message body, I got a gigantic "NEW MESSAGE" popup that covered my navigation (so if you were about to make a turn in an unfamiliar location, you might miss it). And it didn't even contain the message body - so instead of just reading the message hands-free, I had to tap the screen to "play" the message. And even that didn't actually work. [1]

There are couple car apps way more powerful then that, like Automate[2], Car Dashdroid[3], Drivemode[4].

I can think of something worse

> Don't know whether it needs GCM on Android.

The .apk on the site uses websocket, no GCM required.

What's wrong with having options ?

The basic idea also isn't that novel, collective dehumanizing the enemy with using LSD on soldiers was quite a popular sport some decades ago.

One mans "terrorist organization" is another mans "freedom fighters" for their people on this planet.

Precisely, they can both co-exist and are welcome.

This narrative with click-bait titles of someone having to loose that one has to win is dumb and should die out.

There's an option to open the website in external browser, chrome tab or internal browser. Not only in Reddit Sync (which is great), but in every other Reddit app as well.

Btw, opening the website in the Chrome tab is basically the same (session state, cookies are same) as opening it in Chrome, it's just way faster - specially on RAM challenged devices.

We've always been at war with Eastasia.

Well, parent was trying to highlight that what you wrote should be a footnote every time there are big words of bringing "democracy" to other countries by the said actors.

That's why CIA exists.

Just registered to try it out a bit, the auto-fill is quite nice. Saw the ad you've described and it's not intrusive in any way.

I've been using Keepass+Dropbox for couple years now, will give LP a go.

I admit I haven't tried it yet, I've only posted the above speculation based on the features list. So how are ads being displayed in the desktop/mobile apps ?

Ads, since premium is noted to be ad-free.

The argument is that if Country A uses cyber warfare it's "good", but if country R does it, it's "bad". While both are doing the exact same thing, as I said above.

How quickly we forget things.

Snowden revelations made "conspiracy theories" plausible regarding cyber security, operations and media reporting.

It's not like NSA and Chinese gov. hackers weren't doing the same, hilariously hypocritical to blame only one party. Same was happening with surveillance, with basically everyone with their hands in the cookie jar.

Yeah perhaps, but that would complicate the app development quite a bit. I'd rather see company invest developer time in other ways - maybe bringing desktop client support.

This is the main reason I've got some people on Wire instead.

You have to specifically click a button to use it. That's a good compromise between jumping through hoops to enable it if opt-in.

The main difference compared to Facebook for example is, that you don't see that if you don't want to. There are no "live tickers" in your face of what people you follow are doing. Well at least for now.

Curation is the key.
