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???

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

you can unsubscribe from “recommendations” separately tbf (or decline subscription in the firsr place)

telegram has an “advantage” of not having e2e encryption by default, which makes stuff like sync much easier as chats are fully stored on the server (encrypted with your user password).

and if you enable encryption (aka start a secret chat), the chat will only exist on the device you started it on and stop getting synced

it’s as easy to get into as lemmy/masto/fedi

altstore can also be a non-apple non-altstore ios store if you live in the eu and pay them a fee, and it added that as a feature wayyy before aptoide (like you can install altstore officially without using the altstore workaround)

altstore

yeah, factory reset protection, it wipes the user data, but will refuse to fully finish setting up the the os after the reset until the google acct is verified…

you can just use group policy for most windows deshittification needs
