They were right, they are an untrustworthy seller.

Reminds me of when all their customer data leaked, and obviously the people who pirated didn’t have that issue.

last two phones I bought were $250 off of aliexpress.

Before that I got used phones from relatives who upgraded, but that was at the time when a newer model was actually a big improvement generation-to-generation. Then everyone started to use their phone until it became completely useless so I had to buy new.

Aliexpress xiaomi/poco phones used to be better value, the next time I buy I phone I’ll probably get a previous generation or 2 flagship from a mainstream company because waterproofing would be nice.

This is actually a bigger deal than the headline suggests if the claims are to be believed. Hopefully the licensing isn’t too expensive for it to be widely adopted if manufacturing at scale is easy.

They don’t say how it degrades in water, but if it can degrade in ~2months outdoors then that’s actually pretty good.

Most biodegradable eco-plastic is a scam because it’s either only partially degradable, or only degradable in industrial facilities. If I can throw this packaging in my own compost bin then that would be a huge way to get rid of single-use plastic.

If you’re a convenience store but pallets of Coca Cola, then they kind-of can. They can just blacklist you from buying Coca Cola in the foreign country.

It’s also different because they’re selling you continuous access one month at a time instead of a physical good you drink and they can’t take away from you. I’ve been to places where service costs are lower for locals than for tourists, and this is told to you outright. Stuff like museums, taxis, etc. It’s a similar idea YouTube has.

Prices are also almost never based on cost, they’re based on what people will pay.

I live in Canada, and cars are more expensive here than in the USA. US dealerships near the border refuse to sell new cars to Canadians, even though it’s legal for everyone as long as you make sure to pay duties on the way back. I’m guessing each brand has some rule against it.

Ultimately VPN users aren’t a protected class so it’s legal to discriminate.

I’m surprised Arch is that high compared to other distros.

Also interesting that people are actually switching to windows 11, everyone I know is staying on win10 as long as possible because they’re more used to the interface.

Crazy that it’s just clicking a sketchy link that can do that

Don’t fix what’s not broke.

All the other animals are copying them anyways with carcinisation, meanwhile they already figured it out.

Android games are different because old ones use currently unsupported libraries, and you’re not supposed to run old versions of android. That’s more a problem with how Google thinks android has to work.

PC games and PlayStation store games don’t really make sense to de-list like this because win10 is very backwards-compatible with software, and PS4/PS5 games that are released and work don’t need any upkeep.

The reason this corvid study is different from intuitively knowing that 10-10=no berries is where this 0/empty set is represented on the numberline.

Considering 0 as a number vs the empty set are two different concepts. It’s the difference between having a bank account with $0, vs having no bank account. They don’t close your account when you have $0, so it’s still an amount of money.

Crows considering 0 on the numberline, and differently from the empty set shows they have a more abstract concept of numbers than we thought.

Idk who authored this study, seems like a very specific kind of person who is both into number theory and neural pathways of birds to design.

You can find subtitles online separately, because the subtitles aren’t really cracked down on by copyright enforcement (since it’s only text files that you need to have already found the movie to use).

I like your idea of something like an audio track, but only for dialogue/audio that was changed in the translation. This doesn’t really exist, but it’d be cool if it did, especially for stuff like The Simpsons where jokes change to make more sense to different audiences.

It’s annoying how inconvenient it is to exercise with a phone nowadays. The armbands needed for a phone compared to an old iPod are comically large, and they’re so big they bounce around.

Smart watches aren’t quite what I want, they’re annoying because they’re not quite phones, and you still need a phone hanging around if you’re using Spotify or other apps and control the media using the watch.

An iPhone 4 or even iPhone 5c sized phone would be perfect for me

For everyone else needing to block stuff:

Torrents:

• 1337x for torrents
• YTS for HD movies
• EZTV for shows

Streaming:

• fmovies
• popcornflix
• stremio
• movie.sqeezebox.dev

Weird that it listed crackle, I thought that was owned by Sony and had licensed stuff on it. I remember using it twice on my PSP because that was the only streaming video app for it.

Also weird to list snagfilms which was also licensed stuff

The forest is bad practice with passwords, since you get an email of your password after setting it.

The tree is OP not knowing how to describe why it’s bad and saying the wrong reason why.
