They think the self driving feature is always on.

Agreed. A massive overhaul just introduces more problems. I wish they did the same with the OS updates.

I hope the scene learns from this. Use a VPN, have a completely different identity. Use a different browser, use a different handle, and don’t use any persobal info. If you are taking donations, use crypto.

They will be “hacked” by Russia soon.

Nintendo picks and chooses who they sue using their copyrighted images. It’s bullshit.

A tech YouTuber got a strike for using a intro screen to a Nintendo game. He did this before. The difference was he was talking about the Mig Switch.

Makes me wonder if they will ever go nuts and just copyright strike every Youtuber that helped them advertise their games for free for decades.

This happened to me a few times. It forced me to stop updating until the software I need required it.

Samsung Galaxy S24 has this too.

I got an authentic looking email using a spoofed email address from my host. The red flag was I didn’t register my domain name with them. That’s the only reason why I checked the raw message.

I never heard of Boox.

I might get the Palma to replace my nearly dead Sony Reader.

Thank you for bringing that brand to my attention.

Looks like they used to understand that piracy lead to sales.

If people don’t buy the content, they might buy merchandise.

Or if they have a favorite they sampled, they can buy the physical copy for their collection.

They should slow down the major releases. No one is buying a Mac for new OS features. They are buying Macs for the processor, name brand, ease of use, compatibility, and/or they need it to develope software for Apple products.

I don’t know of anyone talking about how the new widget system works with the desktop and the quick sidebar now. Or how they have new video backgrounds. Or how they made thr login screen icons smaller for no reason.

I mean, it can be used as a toilet paper receptacle. Just because you didn’t buy it, doesn’t mean you can’t review it. People review and return stuff all the time. I do not see anything wrong here.

If you don’t care about the newest Android features, it doesn’t matter much.

As for security, this is just my habit, but I don’t trust my banking apps on phones that don’t have the latest security update. I also won’t put anything important in it like work stuff.

I have older phones and they work fine without updates. I still use my stock Pixel 2, which is 7 years old and didn’t have updates for 4 years, for browsing and gaming.

I also forgot:

• Motion smoothness (60 Hz, 120 Hz)

I’m sure there are more I’m forgetting.

If you have any questions about Modes and Routines that you can’t find the answer to online, let me know. I’ll test it out on my S24+.

Black Friday and the Holiday season is coming up. You might be able to get as s24 for a little bit more but this does take patience.

The upgrade for the s23 to the s24 isn’t really that great hardware wise but if OS updates and security updates matter to you, the s23’s security updates stops in 3 years while the s24 stops in 6 years. Note, the phone will still work after that time but it just won’t get updates anymore. To me that’s worth an extra couple hundred bucks. I don’t like switching phones.

Both phones have extra dim. They also both have a bunch of other visual features too. I’ll list them out:

• Extra dim
• High contrast fonts
• Color inversion
• Color filter
• Color correction
• Adaptive brightness
• Dark or light mode
• Eye comfort shield
• Adaptive color tone
• Natural and Vivid screen modes
• Adjustable font size and style
• Screen resolution (1560x720, 2340x1080, 3120x1440)

On top of these, you can set Modes and Routines if you want to have a different set of settings so you don’t have to fumble through all the setting again. Like let’s say you want Light mode, change the brightness, screen resolution and change the font size. You can set that to one custom Mode.

Yeah, seems like this is what some people are using. They said you can use Tasker to run it in the background.

So is this the same as installing on the desktop? Run the service and then http to home to configure?

OpenAI. There, I did the identifying for you.

Not definite but there should be as sticker or text printed underneath.

I miss the days US politicians took the effort to hide where their international illegal campaign contributions came from.

Before I install Linux on anything, I would Google to see if anyone else did it. It takes out a lot of guessing work and headaches.

Getting the exact product number would be really helpful. There’s like 8 versions of the normal one by itself.
