When I saw "otter attack" the first thing that came to mind is they must have been harrasing them or too close to babies. Something stupid, whatever it was.
I turned mine from 120hz (default) to 60hz to save battery. Probably the only reason I noticed is because I knew it was 120hz. The battery hit wasn't worth the subtle difference.
Along with that, it is very odd how so many of my friends (not tech people really) think that Apple created this [feature/hardware/etc] even though it has been around long before Apple started doing it.
I don't hate Apple users or anything. Although the type of Apple user you described is the worst. That kind of user is in any realm. Bikes, phones, cars, whatever. Its not just an Apple thing... but Apple does have a lot of them.
This is not new or specific to online retailers. I worked in retail for almost a decade before gettinng out.
On most products that don't have strict pricing guidelines from the manufacturer, prices can very wildly. Normal pricing would be a marked down price. When big sale would come, the tag price would go from the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) up to Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Those prices are set by the manufacturer. The price printed on tags is MSRP. It is full price and is usually marked up quite a lot. With high end brands, MSRP is usually a lot higher than what MAP is. With brands like The Northface it can be $100 or more.
When a retailer runs a "big sale" they often put everything back up to full MSRP then mark it back down whatever percentage off they are offering.
Sometimes I would wait for a product to go on sale so I could get my employee discount plus sale price. There were many times when a huge sale plus my discount ended up being the same price or more than what the every day price was.
I thought Newpipe stopped working a long time ago. I could never get it to work. Time to give it another try. If it wasn't for Google blocking the site, I would have forgotten about Newpipe :-D
@bionicspud, I've been thinking of doing the same thing for the same reasons. How much storage does your instance use? I haven't looked in to how asset caching works yet. It seems like it could easily get out of hand.
It is called OSMAnd on F-Droid. It does not have support for AndroidAuto. I ended up buying the licensed version for that and to support the devs.
