And also providing more programs and options without having to tack on a full-colour LCD or anything like that. Pretty much just a cost saving measure on the manufacturing.

Brb let me completely rewrite all my unity projects and learn unreal in a single day

Don't get me wrong it's not perfect and I 100% agree with what you're saying, but it is vastly better compared to some other OEMs (Samsung comes to mind) who uses shit like e-fuses to make sure your phone is never able to use a banking app again or the multiple companies that don't let you unlock the bootloader at all.

You are allowed to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM though, so at least once my Pixel 6 Pro is out of support I can flash lineage or graphene onto my phone

Did your wife's boyfriend give you the phone to use Lemmy today?

I wouldn't endorse Mangakakalot, they had some involvement in the Mangadex DDOS/breach a couple years back. Not to mention unlike MD they're a scan aggregator, which basically means they take scans from other sites (like Mangadex) and slap ads on top of them.

Not really, if you're doing your weekly shop all in one go (especially for a family), it can make sense that your weekly shop can be more than you can carry and thus you need something to help you carry it. I wouldn't want to lug 4-5 bags of shopping onto a bus where I'm going to piss someone off because I placed them on the seat, nor do I want to try to balance all that on the handlebars of a bike where a single fuckup or pothole I can't see will lose me lots of money in shopping.

I don't personally do those sorts of large shops, but people are busy and literally schedule this in their week so it's not insane.

Or hey, maybe more people could shop online? With well planned routes it could be more efficient than lots of people all travelling to one place.

Well you'd have to have gotten a lobotomy to want to buy beats in the first place.

Most mobile operators in the UK have stopped with SMS limits (unless you're on the really really cheap plans or PAYG). Guess people just don't use them enough to warrant caps on it.

I don't think Intel is too worried about boycotts because a significant portion of their customer base is businesses.

The only real sector of their customer base that would even do a boycott is the independent PC builders, and I doubt even 5% of those customers would follow through.

Your average consumer doesn't even know what the hell an "intel" is or why they should care, it's just a sticker they see on their laptop/PC.

Damn, and I thought brother was gonna keep riding out being good until the bitter end

He survived 8 years with it though, whilst refusing normal medical attention. Given that, had he dealt with it in the first or even second year he'd have probably had a good shot at surviving.

I guess money won't fix arrogance mixed with stupidity. Such a shame...

Because Japan.

What no repairability, a huge walled garden and the conditioning of teens to bully others over bubble colours does to a stock price

THANK YOU. I've been saying this for ages. I really wouldn't mind even £8 a month for the no ads since I spend a lot of time on YouTube, but I am in no way paying extra for bells and whistles I don't need. I already have Spotify, I don't want to and nor am I going to pay for an extra music service that I just won't use. I'm on an unlimited data plan for god's sake, I don't care about downloading videos.

I think the day an adblocker starts charging people is the day that companies either try to sue them into non-existence with lawsuits they know will fail.

Either that or nobody will pay for it because they're used to getting adblockers for free. They'll just move to another one or maybe one that's FOSS.

To think he would've lived if he didn't act like a total nutcase and rely on alternative medicine...

Because of the potential fallout that would happen if they did. Apple doesn't want to ban one of their key apps, it would be like banning Facebook. The app ecosystem is a key part of any mobile OS' appeal, it's exactly why the Windows Phone failed. Apple doesn't want to lose users to Android which will have twitter even if it's banned through side loading. It's just too popular of an app, even if it's a complete shit hole.

Comcast will take the taxpayer money, run a shit 5mbps line to the rural area, charge you out the ass for it and pocket the difference from the subsidies.
