It is like blaming government for policy to make cigarette packaging unappealling. Every company wants to spy on you using cookies and sell you data or target ads. cookies banners are warnings to protect your data from these greedy compani

Make perfect sense, Thanks kind stranger. Hope it is the reason and not some corporate greed. It on me, lately my thoughts are defaulted towards corporates sabotaging consumers. I need to work on it. The effects on custom os community is ca

What do OnePlus gain from this? Can someone explain me what are the advantages of OnePlus doing all this? A failed update resulting in motherboard replacement? More money, more shareholders are happy? I still sometimes ponder if oneplus gre

yes I agree, but we need to change with the age. in early 2000's it is hard to distribute apps/software, and 30% commission made sense. now it is not, there are several people/companies who can make the app distribution bette

Apple cerifies/recieves licensencing fee for every thunderbolt cable. Apple only did move to usb-c when backlash is so high and eu law will certainly pass. It is good for their pr to advertise that they moved to usbc because they wante

Wow , you need lot of homework to do. You missed the whole timeline of events, backlash with apple and usbc and just looking at headlines. Or either misrepresenting the facts because you are a fan boy of a trillion dollar company. Please

>> Apple is so successful is because they know how to create a great phone experience. I disagree, may be they were at some time. Now they are successful because the walls of the well are so high. It is insanely difficult for us frogs

It is not just that. In my case , everyone around me are using iphone . I made the sacrifice to not easily connect with them and use android so that i have freedom ( to install, customise what ever). Once that freedom aspect is taken away.

With all the things google is doing for custom os last few years ( play protect, no major updates to asop and bundling updates to closed source google libraries etc). It is not speculation it is predicting with high certainty. Google wants

You need to look at history. In early 90s why did Microsoft invest in apple when it is its competitors. Investment doesn't mean they are medling into mozilla business. For companies like google (present) or Microsoft in 90's. It i

Early pixel models comes with unlimited google photos feature etc. I think maintaining is more of a lost revenue to google than patching cost. If customos devs can do it on donation so can google. Probably a reason for google to obselete t

The problem is not with the ads but all the bad things that come along with it. Collecting unnecessary personal data, targetting, disregard for others privacy and list goes on. These small bloggers/websites are letting the huge ad corp

My major problem with ads is the disrespect of my privacy. People deserve to get paid for the hard work they put. I have immense respect for creators . But at the same time, these yt creators are relying on google ads . Which are intrusive,

My two cents, tipping should be optional and only reserved for exceptional service. It is problem with business taking advantage of low income groups and business should be guilt into doing the right thing. Not people for not tipping. If

The commenter says about most apps. The use case you mentioned requires computing resources. You can do the whole thing on browser too but it is not efficient way . But in the case of delivery apps, finance apps, you don't need much

I see there is lot of dilemma in comments here regarding blocking ads. blocking ads is not piracy, blocking ads should be norm. I am ok with seeing ads, until they don't track my behavior, they don't try to manipulate my decisions
