  • Fun story. I had a flip phone years ago and you could have multiple recipients to a single text. And if the text was multiple pages, it would split into several texts. And you could resend already sent texts.

    So one time I put in my girlfriend's phone number in all 20 recipient slots. I then filled the text to the max size, though I don't remember how many it split into. I then resent it over and over. This all took like 2 or 3 minutes.

    Her phone was sending notifications over and over for the entire rest of the day. I'd guess at least 8 hours, probably more.

  • Apple

  • It's not the majority of interactions but it was common enough in high school and college that it became a VERY decisive topic. It seemed the Apple users who didn't bully anyone were unaware it was happening, and the android users, whether or not they were bullied, were always mad about the bullying, which, from the perspective of average iPhone users, made it feel like android users were constantly nagging them, which just widened the cultural gap between the two groups.

    So if someone who had an iphone learned you used android, there's an equal chance you'd get someone who was a bully for no reason or someone who assumed you were combative about it and either way looked down on you for it. It was an unfortunate situation.

  • It's actually exactly what I wanted in terms of form factor and purpose, but the battery life is bad for it being so thick, and it comes with a version of android that did not let me sideload the correct version of Google messages on. This caused problems with my Google fi messages for web sync function which basically made the entire phone pointless since I do 99% of my texting and calling on my pc while my phone is off. It's a long story but in the end I was not able to get it working fully. I went back to my pixel 7.

    But if you're looking for a flip phone with enough smart capabilities to get by in the modern world, this is it. It's also really really cheap, great for a backup phone in case you ever lose or destroy yours.

  • I agree with you, but also this argument is constantly used against snipers sniping in games that have snipers. It happens in every battlefield game I play and now battlebit as well.

    You shouldn't have to be griefed, but there's a line between being griefed and getting killed in ways you don't think should be in the game. There's merit in telling someone to switch games if they don't like parts of the game and are whining about it. But there's no merit in griefing and saying the same.

  • Spammers will spoof numbers similar to yours to get you to trust it. I even had a guy text me FURIOUSLY demanding I stop calling him, when I never had. Someone had spoofed MY number, calling him, who had the same area code and next 3 digits.

  • Yeah and some of the best toothbrushes as reported by every single dentist I've had over the last 10 years all have Bluetooth in them, or have a model with Bluetooth. They're not good because they have Bluetooth, they're good because they're good, and adding Bluetooth to an already expensive toothbrush is negligible to the price so they all do it.

  • I think the point is other commenters saw the response and went on to suggest Firefox further. So the fact that they copy pasted a response that commenters were not only aware of but commenting to address, causes the copy paste to seem annoying and like the OP is purposefully ignoring all feedback and spamming the same narrow view. In a thread ostensibly implying they need help or advice, OP is ignoring most help and advice given because one one niche feature that can be replicated in other browsers.

    At least that's how it comes off to me.
