There are rules in place specifically for political calls and texts: https://www.fcc.gov/rules-political-campaign-calls-and-texts Notably they can't use autodialers without having prior consent from you.

The US has the same thing for a very long time with the National Do Not Call registry: https://www.donotcall.gov/ The problem is that it's nearly impossible to enforce this. Would be curious to know if Norway has had a

Genuinely never understood why anyone would buy a Kia or Hyundai product. Year after year after year there are constant problems and recalls. What drove you to buy one? (no pun intended)

Moronic comment. Have you ever considered that some people have multiple children?

Citation definitely needed for that last point. I know exactly zero people in that situation.

More like Duolingo’s decline. They brought their mobile transaction money grubbing “hearts” system to the browser version punishing people for making mistakes (which is the opposite of how you learn a language). But of course you can pay to

Weird that you spent more of your apparently precious time making this comment instead of just scrolling down.

This is the third dubious comment you’ve made so I’ll ask you directly (once again) to explain why you feel that way.

From the average user perspective what “large issues” does Windows have? You and I can complain about telemetry and candy crush until we’re red in the face but the fact remains the same that Windows is far better for the average user with l

Except that one actually makes sense, because “certified” means it was inspected and warrantied by a dealership versus a “used” car which is most often sold as-is.

iPhones are essentially the only smartphones with enough accessibility features to be used by the blind, I suggest you watch a video on it because it’s quite fascinating. What do you find anti accessible about the apple peripherals? I’ve al

It seems you’ve missed the point, all of those places except for the public field have a financial implication.

It sounds like you’re not familiar with Stallman. He balks at such social constructs. Watch any video of him speaking and you’ll understand.

I’m going to be the one to say that you definitely didn’t have the same issue with an iPhone. As much as people love shitting on Google they love shitting on Apple 100x more and it would be front page news for days if what you are saying is

I think the logic is that precheck requires a background check and interview. I don’t have it so I’m not certain.

Something you did caused it to happen. Again, what you’re asking for has nothing to do with their project and is not a vulnerability in the slightest. It’s a feature working as intended, you should be focusing on what you did to cause it to

Yikes, that issue you opened is like the exact opposite of proper etiquette for asking maintainers of open source software to help you. Basically what you’re doing is making a feature request, there is no bug or issue with TWRP as multiple

Yeah, a perfect thread to demonstrate the lower than average social literacy of HN users. It makes this community come off as a bunch of fun haters. This kind of fun low stakes “engineering problem” is exactly the type of thing that should
