“infinite ips” dont matter if they block your subnet lol
ipv6 blocking is usually done on a per subnet basis

pretty much everyone has at least a couple of old or throwaway numbers tho?
use one of those.
i have lik 5 numbers from 2 different countries rn

also you don’t need a phone number for a google account? (i hav like 10 accounts i switch between in addition to my primary one with all the billing info, google cloud and stuff)

what about hdmi?
like i get it, displays work ovee typec. but most monitors you’re gonna find in the wild still use hdmi and being able to just plug your laptop in is a godsent

web version is not as bad as the official client tbf

( even on Windows i was using sth called teams-for-linux (despite the name its actually cross platform) which is an Electron wrapper around ms teams, bc the official client was crashing/freezing the windows audio service somehow)

cws/disclaimers are good
censorship (including self-censlrship) is bad.

you just had to put one of the other fingers on the battery groumd and not push that hard iirc

the clock app has a built in spotify integration and player.
the calculator sends diagnostic data.

i think it’s used for the performance testing feature in google meet n stuff like that…

tbf Samsung has a decent-ish ecosystem as well…
as long as all your devices are Samsung ones

there’s stuff like automatic earbud switching, dragging files between devices, “continue work on other device”, Samsung seamless codec for audio etc

I’d rather deal with scalpers than this monopolistic bullshit

adguard is russian tho…

yes, but most games aren’t.
there’s no reason to avoid good indie games just because they’re not foss, unless you’re a toxic fossbro or something

most games are not foss, and it makes sense.
(games are more like works of art ranter than software after all, so it just doesn’t matter)

obviously inside as putting it outside would make thieves job significantly easier.
you can still break a window to pull it if there’s an emergency like with basically all other cars

there’s a mechanical override inside the car, but from outside doors can only be opened via nfc or remotely irrc (not a real safety issue tho as the doors can still be opened by breaking the windows like in basically all other cars)

Amazon blocked my account while trying to purchase a gift card and are now demanding proof of ownership of the gift card they just refused to sell to me???

omg ellie?

i mean you can just buy a Dell laptop with a copy of Ubuntu preloaded instead, they sell those as an option with most models

i mean it’s annoying but how is it disgusting?
it just shows recently opened files/software mixed in with stuff you open frequently, it’s not an ad section or anything.
but yeah i have disabled it on all my machines, because I’m not using it + disabling it adds two extra rows of pinned apps…

except it’s basically made useless by the fact that wifi/bt toggles don’t actually toggle off their respective radios, but just disconnect from the current network
