I got roped into it without consent :(

Maybe a bit controversial but I am fine with business products being subscription based as their income depend on it and they get priority support quite often. I work with SAP products so that’s what I am basing it on. Kinda same feeling for something like adobe commercial licences but the problem is with the extremely high cost, hidden fees and other shenanigans. The only subscription that I have is Tuta and Addy which I find reasonable. I would probably be getting a subscription for music and videos as well if any of them were actually good, reasonably priced and somewhat ethical for business standards.

I prefer cost, not sure why but it just feels more natural and easier for me to say. But I am not a native speaker if it means anything.

Maybe we are the out of touch boomers now

And another point to notice is I doubt any llm would say “one reddit user suggests”.

Although in this particular case it was just some minor fire damage to the door, it didn’t even break. But yeah if successful, it would been considered much more seriously.

If this had a stock photo then I would have just assumed it’s an onion article. Wtf.

Doesn’t look like a direct image link so it’s just showing a preview ig

If you don’t remove play service and shit without being unable to use payment apps and other shut, it’s not gonna work for majority. Those are worst offenders that have to be removed for privacy.

Just wait till star citizen releases. Anytime this century, just you wait.

Cmon now its illegal to use them anywhere other than iterators

I would take this over int a; anyday

Alright calm down with that insane imagination. As if that douche could ever who that.

If privacy is important, a custom ROM is highly recommended or rather mandatory. Most brands have locked boot loader which can’t be unlocked immediately without voiding warranty. Some let you to using some bs proprietary software but only after few months. That was the only reason I had to resort to getting a pixel. So look into all the brands available to you and check their policy on custom rooms before looking into the mobile themselves.

That’s why I said as far as we know for now in multiple places. I am not saying I believe them either, quite the opposite actually. I don’t believe then but I wouldn’t disbelieve them and assume the victim is telling the truth. There are examples of both being wrong but some often make up their mind and blindly trust one party over other. You should always base it on the available information and change your opinion when something new comes to light.

I don’t as the cashier are usually kind enough to consider that when they pack them anyway. At least I never had issues with that before.

That’s rich coming from you, let’s leave it at that. This sound more and more like troll now.

Who’s taking about pixel mate? We are taking about android here. Not the hardware but the simple fact that a device I paid for has harmful shit I didn’t ask for. Pixel or whatever, this shouldn’t be installed on anything period

I also paid full price and bought it from an official store with no connection to any carriers. Installed grapheneos and can confirm it is still present, whether anyone can use it is not is irrelevant if your putting shit in my phone that could potentially harm me. And you seem to take some kind of weird moral ground thinking people who default on a payment can have their phone which is a necessity in this era, turn into a brick if they choose to. You’re lucky you can afford to but be more empathetic to those who can’t.

I am usually against gun violence in general but it’s hard to sympathise when you’re the first one to shoot someone. At least that has been the report so far and from what little his family had shared, it is likely the truth. He wasn’t executed but died to his own stupidity based on what we know as of now.
