Which one is it.

Excuse me. Some of us do buy Apple products. And there’s nothing that comes close to the bargain price of the base model, so we laugh at it while buying it too.

I guess I’ll be the exception as someone who does have a macmini because it is the best priced mini pc that can’t be beat, and will likely get the base model for this too for the same reason.

But I still would prefer a power button in the front.

Awesome! So happy transition is so painless.

Update: Export and import worked perfectly. Device name, device ID, and all folders I was syncing got picked up.

Did it transfer over your folder setups so you don’t need to set it up manually?

How is that even measured when you see big budget games with DRM flop and games without DRM get crazy sales. Do consumers who pirate but are willing to pay full price for a game even that significant?

KeePass and the Magikeyboard is my favorite go to combo too.

If that is enough to turn them away I don’t buy them being able to get apks properly.

Well tech illiterate people are the last ones I’d trust to properly side load and doing their due diligence of knowing the source of their apk instead of a random one they found on the web.

Personally when I install F-droid on a new phone I make sure to check the signing keys or at the very least the checksum. As unsafe as Google Play can be I trust tech illiterate people even less of safely getting apks.

Was curious of what the step is and found this video for Samsung https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6TMvBQ7Sm0

And for Google Pixel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD9nsSmDG_8

Doesn’t seem too different from the old enable unknown apps aside from Samsung requiring an additional step. Unless third party apps get completely blocked having to enable it doesn’t seem like a bad thing with how clueless lot of people are about apks and risks associated with them if they didn’t get it from a safe source.

I think theirs will be when rollable phone tech is more polished. The folding stuff with the bulkier phone and creases while impressive tech looks outdated due to what people wish it could be like.

When I emulated Metal Gear Solid 3 my PS3 controller came in clutch with the pressure sensitive face buttons.

Doesn’t last as long as regular laptops either with how poor OS support is in comparison. Phones have felt like disposable tech compared to regular computing devices, since once a device stops getting security updates it’s not really something you want use for stuff like passwords or banking like you did when you first got it. Phones need to get better in that area.

I’m waiting for it to get to Westworld quality haha

And probably downloaded from random sketchy website ad.

OS ceasing to get support is what leads to a device becoming obsolete these days rather than the hardware.

Patience is a virtue

That’s with trusted parties where that type of collaboration is less likely to happen between parties that are hostile to each other. I would not expect blank country to trust any blank adversary countries software and instead be wary of their motives and back doors, and they would be smart not to with both sides seeking each other harm.

I don’t think you understand that I am viewing this from how sides that see each other as potential threats view and treat each other. Not talking about countries that are already collaborating as if they were allies.

In case you don’t understand. I am not claiming that countries do not spy on their own citizens and seek methods to spy even more on them. I’m talking about how countries can react to countries they label as adversaries.

Trying to set barriers seems logical when it comes to outsiders. But, spying by its nature is constant attempts to sneak past barriers, so attempts aren’t going to stop. It’d just be called collaboration instead of spying if information was shared freely and spying would be unnecessary.

Maybe we have a different definition of deter. I don’t see it as stop, but trying to make it less easier. Why would spies stop trying to spy? I don’t expect that number to change. If it did that would be some pitiful spies.

Not saying it is okay. Pointing out that even if hypocritical there’s generally a strategic reason for countries to deter international spying. Would be quite a puzzling decision for any country to provide an open door for other countries to spy on them.
