I'm not "having ads in your face all the time" in apps shipped with android distributions. 3rd party apps, anything goes but that's true for all platforms.

Don't move the goalposts from "ads" to bundled apps. Furthermore, the "data collection" would be the same whether I accessed those services from my GNU/Linux desktop or Android device so I don't understand

Talk about moving the goalposts. Regardless, simple hosts-based adblocking works well on Android.

My Android device shows me no ads.

What is "socially-positive" output and who gets to decide that?

I live in a "first world nation" and 10 years ago (before the global financial crisis even) public vs private healthcare meant the difference between leg amputation and implantation. The public system is only good for routine diag

Don't ask me, I'm thankful for all the bailouts, debt restructuring and the dragging the inefficient, bloated public sector of Greece into the 21st centrury.

Who could imagine that people would install telescreens voluntarily, and pay for the privilege?

The amount of possible chained NATs gave me an aneurysm.

Those people really want to appear on that n-gate dude's website.

My Fissler pressure cooker recommends forced cooling under a stream of water for precise control of cooking time, as an alternative to venting steam through the valve, to prevent loss of flavor.

This whole thing sound like a leftist twist on the right-wing Soros conspiracy theory.

I'd take the "better sound quality" claims with a grain of salt, absent information on codec and bitrates.

No, unless your perceptions of what the average Chinese consumer wants are warped.

I'd like to, but on Android Firefox is lightyears behind Chrome in many ways (including performance), and I get too much utility out of password/history/bookmark syncing between various devices to switch.

How do you verify that the machine actually does what it displays and/or print without hooking a hardware debugger on it?

Europe is not a country. The only FTTH provider in Athens gives you a locked-down Huawei GPON modem/router where you can't even enable bridge mode to bypass its routing/NAT

It is the MR3020. The marketing image has the mode switch photoshopped out in an obvious way. The videos actually show the switch in place.
