Once per device you will need to wait 24 hours before installing unauthorized apps. That’s all the new restrictions do. It will basically not affect power users at all.

For scammers, the 24 hour waiting period completely breaks their scams. They won’t be able to trick people into installing malware if they have to call back to resume the scam the next day. Google said that was their goal and their new solution actually does this without impeding power users.

Google found the balance that we were asking them for, yet people won’t stop complaining and even lying about it in posts like this. Maybe that energy is why the users won this time, but either way, take that energy and fight any of the thousands of real fights.

Th gb Mega Man games got colorized DX releases for the gbc, and they look and play great.

"Microsoft applied a data-driven approach to find out which features to add now, which features to add later, and which to completely avoid.

Unfortunately, for the enthusiasts who had a left-aligned or vertical taskbar in Windows 10, you would have to settle for the fact that Microsoft’s data shows such users are really small when compared to the number of users who are asking for other newer features in the taskbar."

100% of the users that are smart enough to care about moving the task bar are also smart enough to turn off all optional telemetry. This sadly a part of why tech companies are making products for the dumbest people and pushing away power users.

I watched it twice and I couldn’t really tell. It’s switching between scenes so fast I can’t really focus on any part. I am on a phone too, so it’s small.

Prices are high everywhere, so while it’s way more expensive than it was, McDonald’s is still pretty much the cheapest option.

A large value meal costs ~$9, and there is a 20% discount for using the app at $15, so if 2 people go or you bring some home it’s ~$7. Every $60 you spend nets you free happy meal too.

Meanwhile a local place charges $20 for a burger and fries, no drink, before tip. The grocery store is up to $8.99 a pound for hamburger meat, so while it is still cheaper to make it yourself, by the time you include cooking ingredients it’s pretty comparable.

It dismisses the notice and lets you keep playing. But then it pops up again a few seconds later if it still detects motion.

They also prevent you from catching Pokemon above 40mph, which is annoying when you actually are a passenger.

Soul Calibur 3 has a campaign mode that’s really good. It’s single player, but my roommate and I played it co-op by each making our own characters, choosing their movements, and then playing the fights for our characters.

Champions of Norrath 1&2 were made by the same devs, but in the EverQuest universe instead of D&D and are worth checking out too.

Baulder’s Gate Dark Alliance 1&2

Edit: For a different vibe, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe is a lot of multiplayer fun too

The smart thermostat that came with my house has that “feature” and I hate it. If I don’t walk past the thermostat for a few hours, it assumes I’m not home and then lets the house turn into an icebox.

That’s the main use case I’ve heard as well. But, If I have to scan each item as I put it into the fridge, why not just scan it with my phone and keep a less expensive dumb fridge?

Alternatively, just grab a free toothpick from a restaurant and use that to clean the port.

Do it from their website (settings then account)so that you can fill out the exit survey and tell them why.

People yearn for the time when a man could work 40 hours a week and afford to support an entire family, and buy a home, and buy some nice appliances, while still getting vacation time.

That time was factory work in the 50s. But it wasn’t the factory work they want, it’s the wages. They don’t realize that factory work now is the conditions you mentioned plus less wages than McDonald’s.

Custom Android ROMs based on AOSP, which is the open source parts of Android. I used to use LineageOS back in the day.

Before buying a phone, make sure that it has an unlockable bootloader and a custom ROM of a recent Android version. Note that some phones have multiple versions for different regions and some might not be unlockable, while others are. For example many Samsung international phones are unlockable, but none of the USA models are.

Note that many commercial apps like Netflix, Pokémon Go, bank apps, etc. will refuse to run if your bootloader is unlocked. It also permanently trips Samsung’s Knox.

Several other good things started under Biden have continued under Trump’s FTC and FCC as well. Trump supporters think Trump is responsible for it though.

Sadly, yes. A third grade transfer student from a good school district might very well be smarter than their teacher. Especially in rural areas.

A good teacher sees being corrected as a learning experience, and encourages their students to question them respectfully.

Bad teachers see it as a challenge to their authority.

How? Having an unlocked bootloader or root breaks Safety Net, which disables many apps. You need an unlocked bootloader to install custom ROMs.

Magisck used to be a workaround, but Google has been sabotaging it at the OS and hardware layers, so it wasn’t working the last time I tried a few years ago.

Toothpicks work great. They are wood or plastic so they won’t conduct electricity.
