Samsung does indeed have a bunch of bloat. I think we've both made well-informed and reasoned choices, picked our poison. We likely share core ideology because we both would like to choose a fairphone.

My wife and I'd Pixels were rock solid until one day a Google update came along and killed them with an unrecoverable loss of critical functionality. The only way I'd recommend one of these is if one heavily values having the newest thing for cheap, or for the wide angle camera.

That's not a question. Your loss.

Coincidentally, that's the almost exactly the longest life we had in our family. Then, one day my wife performed an update which immediately killed the screen. My Pixel failure was far more frustrating: After a system update I learned that if the screen wasn't clean enough on post-update reboot, Google disabled multi-touch forever.

Consider that an S23 FE (one model behind the flagship and with lesser CPU) is 70-75% the cost of a Pixel 9. The only differences that most users would notice is: The Samsung has a telephoto and Google an ultrawide; The Samsung won't unexpectedly die due to a software issue.

All strawman.

The shopping mall is not legally obligated to eject the Nazi.

But, you think government should force action upon the private entity because the majority disagrees with Nazis.

That's exactly the opposite of why the 1st Amendment exists. Everyone else learned this when they studied why someone can burn the flag or why the ACLU supports Satanists.

I've no want for your nonsense. And, you do a disservice to others by repeating it. Go learn about quasi public spaces.

You keep explaining the letter of the law, poorly, to someone that understands both the law and justice system much better than yourself.

That's not the definition of the word public in this context.

There you go again with the letter over the spirit. You'd have us replace judges with computers.

and do Nazi salutes in a shopping mall and sue them when security throws you out and you'll understand the difference.

They mall doesn't have to tresspass a person that's doing Nazi salutes. If you'd the faintest concept of the ideology of justice as implemented in the US you'd understand the difference.

AI data analyst here. The above is an excellent extension of the analogy.

Now, imagine another monkey controlling how the size of the keys vary. There might even be another monkey controlling that one.

The analogy doesn't seem to break until we start talking about the assumptions humans make for efficiency.

While anecdotal, my family, friends, and co-workers have consistently seen them fail due to an unrecoverable software issue within 2-3 years. Extended support means very little when one expects failure within current support. Providing that support is cheap marketing.

Seems to me it's quite public because anyone can access their space by simply creating a free account. You've seemingly equated the letter of the law to the spirit.

edit: What the above poster isn't legally understanding is quasi-public spaces. Ethically, they're simply failing entirely.

MLK Jr. turns in his grave.

Reminder that intelligence is inversely correlated to the capacity to love at an individual level. Stupid Trump voters understand the problem but have no idea how to fix it at scale. Harris voters wish to continue to ignore the problems because they don't really care about anything more than their individual physical and emotional comforts. They've even less of a clue how to fix it at scale. And, everyone else is called stupid and told to shut up.

Be part of that everyone else. We'll teach you how and why. Then, we'll respect your choices about who, when, where, and what, especially when we disagree, because those choices are reasoned.

Capitalism and socialism are the same thing.

You should probably ask more questions and make less statements.

All the companies that don't care about this have much less costs. Thus the companies that don't care about morality can offer lower prices

Non sequitur. You forgot that the "cost" of satisfying stockholders is far more than the cost of labor even if wages are doubled.

This is surely what Reagan envisioned every Spring.

Valve doesn't want to moderate their forums, it was bound to happen.

Of course! Big government needs to save us from our 1st amendment rights. Thanks so much. I don't think I'd have figured it out without your help.

have decided the benefits outweigh the extra cost

You've no experience but assign merit to more than an ideology of comprehensive amenities.

The first thing we’ll do with it is take it up into Canada to do some university tours. Optimally we’ll be able to dry camp at worst in between visits.

The learning trip is international, urban, and boondock all at once.

We already practically live out of a suitcase anyways, the apartment is just a big storage for all our junk.

But, the "junk" is still present.

Did you have any specific SUV suggestions that would work alternatively?

Suburban 3/4 ton with the 6.0L and not VVT 2019. If you want reliability then the Cummins 6.7L diesel isn't for you because you're too focused on externally-sourced convenience. The GM 3.0L diesel isn't for you because it's too new for reliability studies. Your only choice is a Tundra.

This appears to be an undersized, overpriced first trailer. The exact same goes for the tow vehicles, which aren't even truck-based SUVs.

But, there's not much more to say because you've not stated why you made your choices.

It's becoming increasing difficult to deceive the public into believing they represent anyone except the corporations that fund their campaigns. Their marketing is a return to the "normal" grift instead of the overt, accelerated one.

No, it's not. If there's no logic in the foundation then what's built upon it is nearly useless.
