Yeah was just looking at the OnePlus phones for the first time today... look pretty amazing. Definitely a price premium but if it gets the job done without a Bixby button hey.. could be a winner.

Took me a year to print something for my mom the last time she needed it because I simply KNEW that inkjet was going to be impossible when I needed it. And, lo and behold it was.. It was a Canon Pixma G3200, one of the ones with the built-i

How are you finding it? I'm planning to make the leap off iPhone once my current phone is out of warranty (2 months left) and am in the market for a high quality but not obscenely priced Android phone. Google phones seem to be the leas

It has to do with needing, not wanting, access to a sufficiently large market to have even a remote chance of success. Can you imagine anyone who wanted to make an app now, without publishing on either the Google Play Store or the App Store

There might be a chicken-and-egg problem here -- if someone creates an account to use their headset, Facebook's problem is that it locks the accounts before you can ever attach your headset. Allow attaching a headset to unlock the acco

I was going to make a reddit-like crack about "please sir can I have some more gruel" but dang asked me to keep it clean so I'll respond a bit more high brow by mentioning that I think you don't realize how that's n

Ok. I want to run iSh by installing it from the developer's signed build. That's what I want to do. Can I do that?

I'd still like a good explanation why I can't do what I want with my phone. You don't want do to that? Good, don't. Make it so that I can, if I have to tick a box somewhere hidden in Apple's labyrinthine and und

My short term plan is to get an Android device, root it and install something else. Long term plan is to keep an eye on Librem and get one when it actually ships possibly after an iteration or two. Or not, I might get one sooner if I think

Satire has historically performed much better in courts than "educational purposes" has, so you might be on to something.

100% yes it is piracy; but to remove the stigma from the word for a moment, I view this issue as an echo of something I've been thinking about recently: Our society - civilization even - has fallen victim to the belief that there are c

On that my friend we 100% agree. Widening the window of discussion, I would view it as a 100x societal good for Twitter itself and anything that pretends to it, to disappear.

I'll be honest, I don't see your post as a reply to anything I said... so I'll just leave all this as it is. Stop looking at right now, today, this week. Look forward. Look forward to when you are old; look forward beyond you

The first amendment protects a natural right, a right we all have, one we are NOT supposed to trample on each other. The 1st comes out of the framers ensuring that the government respects an already-existing right - it does not create one.

What if the truth of a statement takes 6 months to suss out? Wouldn't practicality dictate we err on the side of caution, meaning the statement is allowed before it's blocked? Because the alternative situation is, something that N

Illegal content, in however the courts have agreed what 'illegal' means. Also spam, to what a reasonable person would consider spam -- and a political opinion isn't spam.

The limits you're talking about have always been enforced by governments because, ya know, the people agreed those were reasonable. We actually get a say in what our standards of speech actually are. Not an unelected king who rules by

I use OneDrive. The price is right for 1TB of storage, they have tools for mac, windows, Android and iOS. I know using MS services is not everyone's cup of tea but it's something to look at anyway.

Gmail is the linchpin in their whole ecosystem. Break that, and it suddenly gets a lot easier to use various products without being stuck on Google. 100% the Trojan horse. I don't know that it started out that way... but it certainly i

> I use OneDrive instead of Drive (I get 1TB thanks to the Office family plan), which is ok. I just moved everything out of G Drive and iCloud and all of it into OneDrive. Super happy. Might look at Nextcloud or Carbonite though.
