  • While there are many unanswered questions on the military front, there is evidence that Saab’s public relations campaign in Canada has been successful.

    According to an Ekos survey released last month, 43 per cent of Canadians want the federal government to acquire a fleet of Gripen fighters to replace its aging CF-18s, while 29 per cent are in favour of a mixed fleet made up of Gripens and American-built F-35s.

    The option of a single fleet of F-35s was the least popular choice in the survey, at 13 per cent support.

    Quebec and British Columbia are the two provinces where purchasing a fleet of F-35s is the least popular option (nine per cent), while the option is most popular in the Atlantic provinces (16 per cent) and in Alberta (18 per cent).

    Support for a mixed fleet is strongest in Quebec at 35 per cent, while support for a fleet composed solely of Gripens peaked at 49 per cent in British Columbia.





















  • And if sideloading and unlocked bootloaders were so vital to consumers, wouldn’t those manufacturers making those devices be seeing overwhelming market demand?

    The big manufacturers can bulk buy all the factory space to make the best chips. People are chasing specs over freedom.

    The point being, bootloaders are locked for security reasons, and to maintain separation between warranty concerns. That’s why most Android devices with unlockable bootloaders require OEM codes, such that warranties on those devices can be invalidated due to no longer being within the provider’s control. It would be moronic for any manufacturer to warranty anything that is not within their control.

    People certainly don’t believe that corporate schilling when it comes to home computers and cars.

    Also why are you letting ai do the thinking for you in that second link?
