Dirt cheap on eBay and will probably show up in thrift stores eventually. Making them usable by someone is better than them ending up in a landfill.

Though I still wouldn't buy one, but I'm biased since I have one already(got it for free from Google at some point 😝)

Recently at work they replaced the AEDs with new models that support Children, and have a Spanish guide mode, super nice. But they also are now connected to the Internet so that they report any usage and order a new set of pads automatically, plus it has a bright screen constantly cycling through advertisement of what the device is. Also for some reason the power button isn't actually a power button, and just triggers the start-up process while calling back to base, just like touching the on-screen buttons or pulling out the pads will do.

What could go wrong?

Changing the look of a website. Remove elements you don't like while formatting the rest in a more pleasant style.

I wish I could just pay per article sometimes. Let the subscription be optional for people who read a lot from that source.

Not if I want to use a photo in a folder the image picker doesn't default to.

For example, tons of apps save photos to /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/, which is a proper shared folder location on Android(any app can access it), but which doesn't appear in the new Photo Picker as an Album. The picture might show up in the general "Photos" list, but that's only useful if it was recently taken. If I'm trying to find an older photo it's near impossible.

Not to mention the pure lack of sub-folder support in the "Album" section means everything in my Downloads, Camera, and Screenshot folders is just jumbled together in those three groups, completely ignoring any organization I might have in them.

I have thousands of photos. This new image picker is almost unusable for me.

Wholesalers get them from the devs and publishers, like I said. But they're not the key sites.

Key Resell Sites, like G2A, don't often get them from wholesalers. They operate like eBay. The sellers buy them from whatever legitimate source they can use their stolen credit card info at, and then they slap their essentially free key on the Resell Site for pure profit. Some sellers on sites like G2A might be legitimate, buying keys from wholesalers, but too often they aren't. With a site system like that it's near impossible to police for stolen goods, as there is no way to verify a key's origin. Sites like Swappa, which facilitate selling mobile devices, can use things like a phone's IMEI to check if it's marked stolen or not. But Valve, for example, provides no way to check a key without redeeming it, and hence there's also no mechanism for anybody to report a stolen key short of telling the dev/publisher and having them revoke the key which has likely already been used by some unwitting consumer.

New Photo Sheet is a downgrade for me. Can't navigate to sub-folders, everything is just grouped under Camera, Screenshot, or Download albums. And forget any images stored outside those folders. Can there be an option to switch to the Document API?

They buy keys from the devs/publishers directly or legit wholesalers who are known to get the keys from the devs/publishers. Wholesalers themselves don't popup on consumers' radar since they only buy and sell in bulk.

In their mind Piracy might kinda maybe theoretically sorta be a lost sale, but keys bought with stolen credit cards literally cost them money because of the fees from all the middleman payment providers. So not only does their bank account not go up, it goes down.

And Developer Tools! :D

Weird. Only issue I've ever had close to that was when I didn't have enough space for the installer files and the installed game.

Yes

Not really possible anymore. It'd be easier to just pirate the books at this point after the changes Amazon made this year.

Seriously can't wait for this adaptation. Huge fan of the novel.

Lutris?

Because the dev prioritized other features?

I think they meant the typo

That's Vanced. ReVanced is a new thing where you take the official YouTube APK(or some other apps)and patch it yourself. They have an app that does the hard work for you. You just have to find an APK for the right version of YouTube via APK Mirror or similar.

Your Google Play Services might not have updated yet.

Newer backup cameras have lines to warn you of the distance, but you still have to be careful just like with mirrors.
