Oreos won't affirm your belief that suicide is the correct answer to your life problems, though.

I can only imagine that allowing "unverified" apps to run would also disable payment/banking apps. Just in case, you know. For your own good.

From what I've seen, millions lost to scams are with social engineering; through cold calls masquerading as the authorities, phishing, pig butchering; plenty of scam apps on the Play store harvesting data as well, but not a single rea

Besides what other replies have mentioned, I'd like to point out that this model of versioning has died a long time ago, especially in the mobile realm. For any app there's only two options, "newest available" or "k

The scan is the least of the problems - good luck getting to that level of detail with mostly vintage lenses, balancing depth of field and diffraction, keeping the film perfectly flat, on a stable enough tripod with no vibration whatsoever;

The whole original pitch was written with AI quite obviously, besides admitting to having written the whole project with the help of Claude; I would assume that OP has been using it for more than just a translator.

In Eastern European countryside a hundred years ago, nettles used to be the last resort in early spring when winter supplies were growing thin, and anything growing and not poisonous would be cooked. Sure, they have some nutritional value,

And yet, they're constantly captured by countless CCTV cameras all around, without minding their business. I know the pain and don't take as many portraits as I'd like to sometimes, even with people close to me; but on few oc

And the article hasn't yielded the style all the way to the end. It was not fun to read with English being my second language; but I think now that's expected of The Guardian - little information spread out extensively with flower

Or root with Magisk and hide the developer mode from the offending app. Unfortunately it's always a cat and mouse game, so for some apps it's probably easiest to have a cheap, outdated (and by some metrics thus unsafe) device in a

Yeah, but the user will be liable for not returning the vehicle under a recall. As for cost, surely you can ask Ford's lawyers who worked there in the 70s to give you a good calculation on life vs recall costs.

It's not that they were expensive (the HDD + adapter probably being the most expensive part), but rather that the PS2s on the used market are so cheap no one was willing to pay the extra, even if it's been refurbished.

Funny how the fully "de-googled" experience starts with buying a Google device.

100mph is probably around the top speed for home built FPV quadcopters with 5 inch propellers; that's neither uncommon or expensive. Amazon's drones are probably built for efficiency though so they will go slower than that.

As much as I admire the FOSS nature, it's always the problem of underspeccing and overpricing the tech at the same time.

It doesn't, unless the camera is damaged. How the blur looks is a consequence of the lens' optical design.

Are you sure you needed them? What was stopping you from doing the research without a third party shoving whatever they will make money on?

I think the implication here may be to sell you a premium version or a subscription of an app without ads.

Your parents are more likely to be a victim of a phone call scam than malware, even on PC. There is also no guarantee that malware will not slip through cracks of official stores or signatures. You can also choose to do your banking at the

More likely getting data on your usage in some part, or most likely, pushing notifications reminding you about the particular brand, so you'll keep spending the money there.

According to the link you provided, it does seem to be ahead of stock Android (assuming AOSP) and LineageOS, disproving your point that it's falling behind. The point of the OP is not that it would be better than your solution anyway;

Yep, same in Poland (called "Radio-Stop"). Yep, unauthorized uses happen. Generally though you have to be pretty close and can be caught through that. Surprisingly it's not that big of a deal.
