Motorola put the malware apps into the “nondisable” list. You can’t remove them even with ADB PM commands. I was fucking mad that my RAZR couldn't be fully debloated. See also: various firmware builds for Moto phones like https:&#x2

it feels more out of place that it's a specific company getting to shove their name up as priority billing for the feature when this entire page should be focusing more on WebSerial support being in Firefox as a whole and not one dude&

It's already bad enough they took offense to people hosting in Hetzner (yes, I'm one of the many that hosts in a DC instead of at home). Sorry I didn't want the server overhead in my house, eh?

I genuinely feel like I could have a breakdown over this. I’m so fucking tired. I don’t want it. I didn’t want it. I didn’t need it. And now here we are, once again, shoving it fast and hard in my face. Thanks, Google.

Come on, when's Stellantis going to release the small $17,500 EV for the American market? They've completely priced out the subprime sub-600 FICO buyer once they killed off the Dodge Dart and the Fiat 500 and the Jeep Renogade.

Aaaand the logistics of making that call to the company to confirm the amount on the bill can get awkward. IVR and hold-time hell just to get a human to have to explain your predicament as to why you're asking for such a mundane piece

Funny thing, that. They actually have Activation Lock (of sorts). I regret it now but a few years back someone had moved into a home, dumped their Ring doorbell that came with the house, and we shoved it on our house. When we went to set it

Best the FCC is going to do is a misguided blanket “China bad!” router ban because Elise Stefanik got a little lobbying birdie in her ear from a certain American drone manufacturer.

I feel like I was brainwashed so much harder by the anti-smoking and anti-tobacco lobby (i.e. state Departments of Health) over smoking in media. This is probably why it all disappeared... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

OK, except the kids these days have the cheap Autel immo/key programmers and the Autel universal keys. They're just cracking into cars, plugging in the Autel, and running the all-keys-lost procedure on quite a few makes and models

As an aside to #1: The cool thing is in modern times the hardware tools have come down stupidly cheap in price. Even SD card recovery is (vaguely) in the right skilled hands in a pseudo-professional home lab these days. https://b
