I honestly haven’t even felt the need to root my phone, let alone install a custom rom, for the past 10 or so years. Uninstall all the crap with ADB, toggle on Sensors Off from the hot bar, and don’t worry about it.

No, but sometimes it does feel like it. It also hurts just as much to be accused of being something that you’re not.

Good job Nintendo, you opened the $80 floodgate

I ask where people are, so I have a general sense of time zone and I know when to expect to be able to message them when they’re awake

OP may see it listed for $150-700, but who’s not to say it’s a $2 knock-off?

MPV blows VLC out of the water when it comes to playback. After using it at work to sift through collectively hundreds of thousands of hours of video, waiting for VLC to do anything feels painful

Lack of updates isn’t a killer as much as you think. I’m intentionally running a 5 year old version of Android (11) and never once have any security issues. The best defense is being smart about your usage no matter how old your software is.

Honestly just get a new mouse and consider this a lesson to be a bit more careful next time. The amount of effort to fix your current mouse isn’t worth your time

Put it towards rent, shit’s insane these days

Fingerprinting. If they don’t have a cookie, they’ll link other information that they have to figure out with pretty decent accuracy who you are

and then the GPU will catch fire

You’re a fantastic father. I wish your family the best of luck.

Be careful about ebay, a lot of sellers just drop ship from Amazon

I bought a used car that was made in 2004. It doesn’t even have aux in or traction control, let alone 4g…

“We’ve reviewed your report of this very obvious sexually explicit spam bot and found that it does not violate community guidelines. We use a combination of technogies to identify potentially harmful content…”

The ghosting was mutual, I couldn’t show my face there again (metaphorically)

I literally had a panic attack and ran out of the room during a phone interview once

Maybe they should have called it something besides DSC-QX100

New pokemon games are neither so that doesn’t really work

If I ask my manager or my director a question or challenge their thought process I get called into a 1 on 1 meeting where I’m told I’m a great asset to the team but me asking questions of them in a team setting sets a bad example

This isn’t on you. If you manager’s skin is so thin that they can’t take some critical thinking thrown at them, then they shouldn’t be a manager. Though if you’re doing it all the time it’s probably very annoying. If they’re doing some self-destructive braindead company decisions, then just roll your eyes and don’t say anything while waiting for their comeuppance to bite them in the ass. You don’t have to kiss the ring but you don’t have to be a nuisance either.

So I guess my question if any is are there still companies that exist in the USA or outside that still give a fuck about what they’re doing and not just inflate that companies value so it can be sold or keep the stock price going up.

Maybe a small business with decent core values. They are very rare though, and are liable to be eaten alive by a change in management. So basically no.
