I know lots of Americans who buy their phones without those stupid contracts. It’s not uncommon at all. I have never have a phone on a contract.

I’ve had that freedom for the entire duration of the existence of smartphones, in the USA. I buy my phones with no contract, at discounted prices, then I flash them with custom ROMs to improve everything, and I use no contract cell phone service. Since about 2007, that is.
It looks like an archery release, used by compound bow shooters to pull the bow string back and release with a trigger or button
I think you cracked the case on that one, that’s gotta be what it means.
I don’t think we asked about you, did we? Anyway, I hope you find some relief from those problems.
LOL right, tell yourself whatever you need to
So are you people in this meme just on your phone all day looking at stupid phone apps? God, what a waste of life.
Smartphones are just boring little tools guys. Don’t make it your life. Be a real nerd, get a PC, and surf the web where there are no limitations set by apps. Play some video games, look at porn sites, do some online shopping or whatever. If you’re done with all that, go outside and ride a bike or something.
Is it the same Evildoers that George W Bush warned us of?
So what? Lots of better jobs are out there. And maybe they’re not, because Dell still has to stay in business, by having employees.
You nailed it, it’s just like the Walmart effect making small businesses fizzle out. We’ll call it the EnWalmartication of the Internet
That’s all good but those features are not what makes a good discussion forum. This, what we’re typing on, is an example of a good forum.
Tech espionage is a pretty big problem though, not something anyone should hand-wave away as irrelevant.
It’s pretty nice, I do mostly whatever I want every day.
Same here, and I’ve tested it with a blue laser and the lenses block the blue laser almost completely. It’s definitely a benefit to have the blue / UV filter coating on glasses. Another easy test is to walk outside in the bright June sunlight and look around with and without the glasses. The UV filtering reduces eye strain outdoors in the bright sun too, but obviously not as well as sunglasses.
I never mentioned a jiggler. I was talking about better devices that move the device at random. They can move the mouse all over the screen, but an observer might be able to see that it was not normal activity if they watched it for long.
That sounds like a problem with YOUR phone. Every phone I’ve bought has been faster than the last. Maybe you have too much bloatware?
I use open source Android only, will not use a phone with stock android. Bloatware is a non-issue on AOSP unless you do that to your own phone.
What’s so sad about it? You have the ability to securely send E2EE messages for free. I’m very pleased with Signal after using it for years.
If you mean it’s sad about the weed being hard to get / illegal… yeah, I concur. Hopefully Schedule III happens soon and nationwide Medical will be legal.
Yep hardware that’s not connected to your work device at all
That sounds like some big news. I’ve heard in the past rumors and such that the USA leaders have mostly kept “warm” relations with the Saudis in the effort to keep them using the Petrodollar as their standard.
Exactly right, they are all extremely complex mechanically and electronically. Engine and transmission technology have come a long way, and I guess the absurd complexity is the trade-off we got for the improvements
