Stop living in fantasy. He was forced out, under threat of the 25th amendment. This wasn’t some selfless act…he lost his faculties and had to be booted by his own party under threat.

It’s shit like this that makes me want to never use another Google app or service.

What possible justification is there for storing history of calculations in a calculator app?

I keep looking at maps and wondering how Ukraine haven’t been routed and cut off in enemy territory with no supply lines. What they’re doing seems borderline insane but more power to them!

EDIT: Found it. Can be ordered with the global rom too, so you don’t have to deal with immediately flashing a rom that isn’t in Chinese. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005006119419693.html

I have been buying phones and various other electronics on Aliexpress for years, shipped to Australia.

For Australia, Aliexpress have implemented a system where the required import tax is handled during the transaction. I’ve never had a single issue with customs and there is no further paperwork. It couldn’t be any easier, and there is a level of buyer protection not quite as good as ebay in the medium term, but certainly protection if your goods don’t arrive or they arrive damaged or not as described.

For us, it is a standard 10% tax on all imports so it’s easy enough for them to calculate and pay at checkout. None of those things you mentioned are an issue.

The more realistic concern buying mobiles is if your device will support VoLTE and VoWifi out of the box in your country. Bands are generally OK these days because manufacturers rarely make a seperate device for each country anymore - all bands are generally included. The exception is, if you are using one of those weird US networks that are still using CDMA technology.

You nailed it. Users cannot be trusted to not re-use login credentials.

I know we all hate it, but proper 2-factor authentication via authenticator apps must be the default position for everything.

Seems like a fair and reasonable response to a cartoon.

The religion of peace strikes again.

You better be quiet before you summon the bears.

To be clear, is he in hot water over what he said about the ADL? Or the fact that Nazi’s are proliferating on his platform and advertisers don’t like it?

God damn, this comment slaps.

In many cases I believe SOMEONE is paying these supermods.

It’s more about controlling public discourse than it is any sense of moral compass IMO.

It’s a fairly cheap way to control the narrative on just about whatever you like if you can steer acceptable speech around hot button issues on such a large platform.

I have embraced all the good parts of Windows 11. I will continue to cut out the telemetry and other creepy elements like the cancer that it is.

That’s certainly a factor, but I think it has far more to do with availability of content.

I can afford to buy a proper VR setup but I do not see it as a worthwhile investment because practically none of the content available is of interest to me.

It’s the equivalent of dropping 2K+ to play mobile games.

Until AAA studios are actively developing for this hardware, I’m not interested…but they won’t because barely anyone has the hardware. It’s a real chicken and egg scenario.

No thank you. Startallisback to the rescue. Ghost spectre to remove whatever bullshit they put in this time.

I’m not against progress, I just prefer my computer to leave the thinking to me.

Newsgroups are bloody horrific unless you are picking things up the very second that they’re released.

Everything gets DMCA takedown strikes extremely quickly and goes missing. You might get lucky and put it together with repair files etc but I have all but given up on it. You need a lightning fast connection and radarr/ sonarr set up to grab things you MIGHT be interested in automatically or it’s a total wash.

This. Make the bastards chase you.

Are you suggesting we should reinstate the glory of the British empire?

They don’t need one. No enforceable copyright law.

I think there’s other factors.

I worked for 12 hours today. When I came home and browsed ALL, it was exactly same posts as there was this morning. That’s a problem for getting return visits. I have resolved to take some of the energy I spend on comments and dedicate it back to posts.

Try getting parts for the original fairphone or fairphone2.
