I’d like my phone to last 5 years minimum.

That seems to be the new standard for continued software support too. If the phone only lasts for half of that, what’s the point?

Replacing the battery on a 9a is a invasive 64-step process(ifixit guide). The kit they sell is surprisingly cheap at $40, but has a list of other tools you need. Its definitely not a project most people will undertake.

No, that sounds silly. It must be PNG. You really should enunciate the PNG.

Is it pronounced png or png?

“To preform chest compression place both hand in the center of the subjects chest. Apply a rthymic steady pumping action until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake continue chest compressions until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake continue chest compressions until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake up seek medical advice, or call 911.”

“To apply a large bandage, peel back the red pull tab to expose the badage-aid, place wound over the white pad and wrap the wrap firmly around the skin. Finally adiminister 50mg of Goprelto to ease the pain.”

I suggest you look it up in detail, my memory on the details are not only hazzy, I never looked that deep into it, beyond “well thats shitty, rip Anker”.

but the TDLR; A few years back Eufy (owned by Anker), they didn’t tell anyone video was stored on the cloud, and then it turned out the live video stream was exposed to the open web. Initial response was lack-luster and Anker didn’t own up to anything.

Its been a few years, possible things are different. Also possible initial issues were blown out of proportion, and I never heard any of the “corrections” no one ever makes.

It’s in its early days, but consumerrights.wiki has potential to become a very valuable place to check before buying anything. The summery there is much better.

I’ve been very happy with UGreen as a replacement to Anker, after the Eufy thing. Have not tried a power bank yet, but the charger and cables have held up so far.

Name does not check out

A disruption to disfunctional search engines does not sound bad.

Wow, that is bad. The music one is probably the worst of the examples. The artist name is barely readable most of that clip.

The notifications are rough too, a big wall of white text against a burry multicolor background is not fun to read.

Maybe it’ll be that on the back end?

Who am I kidding, it’ll be a brand new system with its own rules and problems.

Ah gross, don’t ruin the volcano with their filth. You’ll piss off some old god.

Piracy will always be a problem, someone is always looking for the free route. The paid routes used to be guarantees of availability, malware free, and a quality copy. Now its almost the opposite, a pirated file is always available, usually malware free and higher resolution than whatever the data mining services feel like feeding you.

Don’t people buy stuff on OF, more than just a sub? Is it easily available for download in a common file format or is access stuck on the website even though you bought it?

I agree that straight piracy of content is bad. Piracy is primarily a service problem, TV and movie piracy was down in the mid 2010s until all the streaming services divided. Music piracy is basically gone thanks to early iTunes and even more so with today’s streaming services. OF piracy will always be a thing because people want their free porn and the parasocial relationship they don’t get on the regular free sites.

If corporations refuse to just sell us the file and can randomly revoke access or change the content (like Amazon’s been doing with book), then the community will find ways to strip out the DRM and other protections just to preserve the content they bought.

I don’t have a problem with github removing of projects that aim to circumvent purchasing content, but projects that simply “unlock” purchased content should be allowed to thrive.

Edit: I should add, if corporations can’t be bothered to respect what the word buy means, why I should I bother to provide them money? morality is a two way street, if one side is dishonest and shady, do they really have a right to whine when others steal from them?

Edit 2: in case it wasn’t clear the “dishonest and shady” one is the corporations. Its to the point were I pretty much only pay creators directly (patreon, etc) where I know good chunk of my money goes to the artist not the publisher/middle man. If I’m buying a movie or something its either a DVD or getting screen caped on the first watch for archival purposes.

YKK exec; hey we’ve pretty much won the zipper market and quality brands default to us. But our social marketing teams says we need more presence in the news cycle, so how can we tank our reputation for clicks?"

YKK exec2; lets add AI to the zippers!

Hey, I might not be any of those things, but I’m here!

I was thinking more random screen shots, but yeah I suppose there’s a ton visual information to identify a location in a picture.

Make sure you run any image you upload through a meta data eraser.

I like exiferaser on Android.

100% agree. Should be opt-in per email.

I assume its more of it subscribes to your newsletter same as a user would, so when you send out the newsletter to “group 1”, the google thing is also on that mailing list.

And yes, should absolutely be opt-in, per mailing list, per email.
