This sounds like we could afford it, we just need to take that money back from the military…

Idk, I got like all the jiggy’s before beating gruntilda
I highly doubt that, the compute on these tablets is straight trash.
i read the article and it didn’t seem to state. how will they target me? using the personal info I’m required to give them to book my flight? the origin and destinations and seat location? these are entirely different kinds of metrics. one is far more invasive. and is it tying into larger models they’ve purchased from like google or something? this is stupid and i hate it.
“You’re a crook Captain Hook Judge won’t you throw the book At the PIRAAAATE…”
you guys make calls?
Are you trying to convince them they’re wrong? Or just get them to leave you alone? Wouldn’t it be simpler to just tell them you’re a believer (in whatever thing they’re preaching to you) and then wish them a blessed day or whatever? That would surely get them off your back.
I work for an Android OEM; i am quite familiar with GMS and AOSP versions of Android. I was unclear what i meant - software choices on Android are highly limited when trying to avoid adware and trackerware apks. It’s just unfortunately a platform where the value extracted from it is way more often from provide free but not great software that also mines your life. not too many options for great software that also doesn’t mine you, free or paid.
I’m an iPhone user, and i’ll probably stay that way, but I’ve tried to de-google my life as much as possible and I’d consider de-appleing if there was an alternative that wasn’t google’d up. What do anti-google self-host folks do about smartphones? Android is “open” i guess, but it’s crammed full of adware and trackers and all sorts of garbage.
Linux for desktop is an easy-peasy transition; linux for mobile, no so much
“we’re children! we’re children! we’re children!”
Let’s say I got myself one of those arm-based single board computers that can run android. Is there not a way to install Android TV instead of “regular” android? i assume you’re saying it’s not because it requires GMS cert or something.
How would getting rid of ads work? Like logistically? Is a fancy box for your product an ad? Is eye-level placement of a product on a shelf an ad? Is the make and model branding in a vehicle an ad?
I would love to see less ads, or no ads, I’ve done all I can to remove them from my life entirely, but the magic wish kind of removal of them seems… impossible
Nah fuck that. Sites need to adopt this passkeys instead. It’s an impossible task for people to have unique credentials for every site, even if they are “memorable”. This is a design issue not a personal responsibility one. When designing for large volumes of people, you have to assume that the majority will do something easy and stupid over difficult and smart.
Big aeropress fan. Where’s the Linux equivalent of that?
All I’m getting from this is that arch is easier than I expected and will give me a much better end result than the distros I’m used to.
i was wondering about this! very dumb.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
I supported the disruptor to cable so hard they became the thing they disrupted and now I don’t have netflix
My wife and I have rewatched all of game changer at least 3 times. It’s easily the best $45 I spend each year.
I happen to work for a commercial touch screen and android OEM. In my position, I needed to test a 50” 4K IDS display, and since i work from home it had to be shipped to me and we don’t exactly have a “return” option. It’s now in my bedroom with an Apple TV 4K on it.
You’re right. This is likely the only way to get a “dumb” display and tbh it’s not even the “best” display tech because it’s for commercial use, designed to run for longer hours with higher reliability at the cost of the newer fancier bells and whistles. But i didn’t pay for it and it’d pretty decent. I’m not complaining. And you’re also right that no one will actually sell you one of these. You have to buy it through a distributor at volume. Getting one outside of my weird circumstances as a one-off is basically not possible at all.
