The Motorola phone brand has been owned by Lenovo for some years now, not the Motorola that brought the Nexus 6 and Moto X. The behavior is of no surprise. It isn’t a brand borne of pride anymore, it is just a thing that makes money, maybe.

Discord, the cancer that replaced IRC. Which was an earlier form of cancer, but at least more disposable.

That paying extra to get faster service thing is a complete scam too, at least with DoorDash. But they probably didn’t bother researching anything about how these junk services work either.

Muskrat is clearly an alien sent to Earth to ensure our doom.

It is fun if you use fancy formatting with columns, and somehow the anchor character doesn’t show up on the ghost page even with hidden characters on, and you give up and choose 11.8pt font to make the page go away.

I miss ClarisWorks 2 and 3. Best office suites ever made.

Cheapest guarantees you will be missing some 5G bands, might as well just focus on LTE. It will be around for years to come.

That being said, Galaxy Xcover Pro series is probably the way to go, just find an older model for “cheapest.”

The entire universe could collapse and these tabs will live on. Forged by Satan himself.

Oh, yeah, you’d think, but no. Instead you have to try and bend the clips, and while doing so, they catch the two layers of the spindle-hole and either crack the disc, tear the disc, or tear the layers apart. Sometimes the disc even comes out.

I’ve seen a dozen DVDs cracked in the spindle-hole across multiple box sets from this travesty of a design. Bought replacements and exchanged them. Seems they went back to a more sane storage format and these disc-eaters were just unloaded over the holidays or something.

If your ThinkPad is old enough, so is it.

I’d take Windows XP. It looked professional by comparison.

The tl;dr is: Control. Vendors want it, making it easy to run open software would make that control harder to keep.

And GM was never one to understand electricity. They make the worst wiring harnesses, do stupid shit like mounting computer modules next to the HVAC core where large heat/cold changes happen leading to corrosion. They don’t use the right metals in even bulbs/sockets, so it looks like you have a burned out tail light and, lo and behold, it’s just galvanic corrosion.

It is amazing they managed to get an EV to leave the lab, let alone assembly line.

Most recent old ep I saw that I remember, there was a chloroform store with bottles of chloroform, up close, they each had a scribbled “chloroform” label on them, but they edited and lazily scribbled out the word on the bottles with a slightly different color at that, except for one angle when Homer’s holding a bottle and they didn’t scribble out the edge. Not the best example, just can’t recall others. Scenes are completely cut, edited, removed.

Other shows have similar, there was an American Dad ep from the early seasons on replay now, news headline in the intro credits said a pro-union joke and they just whiteboxed over the headline.

Not that it’s a new concept for them, apparently the original The Santa Clause movie had a 1-800-SPANK-ME joke I recall hearing as a young, that they edited out on the second VHS run of the movie and all subsequent runs.

Disney constantly edits old TV shows. Episodes of the Simpsons are slowly being sanitized of “bad” things, for example.

iPhone user, so no long screenshot capability except in Safari. Among other issues…

A dying Egyptian Pharoah wanting to fill his tomb with baubles.

The only downside is Pixel 10 support is coming via alternative methods from standard, as Google stopped shipping the binary blobs to run the hardware. Pixel 9 series may be the last to have truly native Graphene support. Graphene is looking into long-term solutions though, although last I heard they were looking at Qualcomm-based chipsets which is bad news on some level, as they’re a US military contractor.

Yeah, you can directly download their APK and it has its own alternative push service that doesn’t require Play Services. This version also has its own internal update mechanism to keep the app current, or you can use Obtainium. Best to get it closest to the source, especially these days.
