I dunno. So far I have always found what I needed, assuming it existed. Sometimes there just isn’t a match because either it’s not a setting, or it doesn’t contain the exact text you entered. I’d imagine people’s experiences differ, but I’ve been lucky thus far, on many devices.

Search settings? I sometimes can’t remember where something is. I use the search box in settings.

They literally don’t make any anymore? Interesting. What about dumb phones that just have the bare necessities?

Oh no not running Linux. But if your intent is to avoid running sophisticated apps, why do you need Linux on your phone ?

This is a joke or satire, no? Who the F would pay that much for a flip phone. You can get them for free can’t you?

Dude. RAID.

I’m so sick of humanity.

It has been an oligarchy for a long time. This has been studied and proven.

I use Firefox. If I’m on the web and a site does not work with Firefox, I leave that site.

Do they think somehow people like me will change our minds? And more to the point, do they think website authors will want to limit their own audience for the benefit of some company?

Unless I’m misunderstanding this, maybe I need an ELI5

I don’t know what kind of shit LEDs you’ve been buying but I’ve yet to ever have to replace one. Been using them for many years already.

Yeah, I mean, someone has to provide the information. If one day, there’s a full bridge, and the next day it’s deconstructed for repairs, Google can’t magically know; some information needs to be pushed out to be parsed and updated. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was simply done by construction co. without proper filing etc. very few nations have the extreme regulations that U.S. has - it's one of America’s redeeming qualities. Of course, that may not always be the case. But yknow.

You should post this in the group assholedesign. This is genuinely so bad it’s infuriating.

If the day comes where it’s impossible to at the very least, clean off spyware stuff you don’t want, or install custom ROMs if necessary, then I’ll stick to older units that have the ability still. And if that ever becomes impossible, then stop using a smartphone.

And all the arguments in the world about how everything requires a smartphone - I don’t care about. That cannot be literally required, at least not for anything important because it’s not possible to assume/ensure that every person has one and that it is fully operational etc.

If this creates a nuisance for providers of various services, so be it - in fact, all the better because they can potentially be a source of pressure to maintain the availability of customizable devices. But that’s a very very miniscule likelihood; more likely is that they say well, too bad, if you don’t have a smartphone then this hospital can’t treat you. There may come a point where it literally will be impossible to functionally integrate in society without being spied upon 24/7. And in America at least, this will be welcomed with open arms because - well, you know: sheep.

But even then, there will develop a bigger and bigger fringe subculture of off-the-grid individuals who still value the concept of privacy.

So - like every sci-fi dystopia depicted in film and literature throughout history. Well, anyone who complains won’t be able to claim they weren’t warned a million times literally.

It’s not strange; they don’t want the poorest and lower class people to be able to vote.

Wow I go through 50GB in less than a day. Sometimes an hour.

I know you were just being glib, but I feel compelled to point out that given its context, it was only used as one might say "AI is all well and good, but...", like just using it to get to the real point, which is that in-and-of itself, without a person acting upon the AI's results, it is actually not great at all. Like any tool, it has to be used to help you accomplish something and not just set about to do your entire job for you. So he was actually saying the opposite.

Every chance they get they do something to tell us “PLEASE HATE US MORE”

I haven’t looked at reddit in a couple of weeks. I’m done with them.

Whooooosh!

That was his point. The pic is of what could be next.

The United States is not a nation anymore. It’s a corporation. It’s also 100% corrupt. When will people come to terms with this? As long as most people are in denial of this, it will always be so.
