Me neither, but I assumed it was because i’ve always ignored samsung “confirm updated agreement” since I bought the phone, a.d thought thats why i’ve been locked out of the few OneUI aspects i’m forced to use.

This is very roundabout and only 1/4 serious… but you could maybe even earn some pocket change becoming a cam-person. Stream with device, with the app backgrounded, and watch the stream from your web browser. There is always a built in delay of a few seconds, and you can make money/get internet bullied.

Currently next to my partner who is playing/using a app called Finch thats a mix between Sims decoration and a habit tracker, and of checks all your boxes. The artwork is adorable.

That said, all of the games I play are for girls, because I am a girl

I would bet they have their own battery and use that while the car is off

Can we instead/alongside just actually develop software that doesn’t just take up whateber is currentlt available RAM and power???

Now if, IF, apps spent those resources on why I downloaded the app, then I’d have much less of an issue. Buuuut so much dogshit runs in the background for every fucking app, all sorts processess for gathering irrelevant telemetry, as well as aggressively live microupdates of information that I do not require a near-live accuracy of.

If software assumed it was being designed and ran with the lunar program approach (only what the desired need requires in a fair amount of time), we would get so much life out of everything…

Fuck capitalism. Also, what a hard failure and shortsighted approach it is, when I would pay significantly more for apps and hardware itself if everthing from the OS to front facing UI was conservative in its resource drain, or at least had a true custom setting that actually did that. I mean I would at least pay more than they currently make by serving me ads based on all the bullshit.

Too late. Already download OSM for the first time in years. I deliver all day long, and as much as I hated them, gmaps was worth it until now.

For those who thought this was a serious question:

No

Because most of these companies have some of the best lobbyists out there how else could they possibly get away with continuously taking money from our taxes and handing it over to them to build all these cell towers and infrastructure that they’ve only Built less than 5% of

No I’m saying yeah that is the thing that exists right now, and for some people that’s the only way that they can have / use a phone.

Between planned obsolescence and how careless and demanding in resources even phone apps are becoming now, cheap phones are as bad as really old phonesn

All I know is that maybe instead of putting a law like this in we’re going to just add the price somewhere else I say we just shut all these companies down and run this cell phone towers ourselves since all of our tax money has been going to these companies for them to build all these things that they don’t ever build or they build the bare minimum to get away with nobody taking the money back and it’s fucked up

Because how else are we going to have at least some models out there for people who can’t fucking afford these ridiculous phone prices without doing payment plans?

Just like health insurance that’s like tied into your mobile plan. We all thought we hated when we paid for minutes, and then for when we were paying for minutes and data, how naive were we.

Ahhhhhhhh

Uh

Except I can’t think of a company that’s large enough to be multi-state who hasn’t made almost every decision in the last 10 years the wasnt the most short-sighted option regardless of how much more value would be made otherwise. No corporate strategies look anything like Shadow Boxing to me, they all want to just rape and pillage for a short of a time as possible the same they’re more Bandits then Shadow boxers

I know what it is, just didnt know my comment meant I was preparing to fight.

Huh?

Which they’ve shown they aren’t willing to do…

Personally, YT premium is my only subscription I have, and wouldn’t really have any others if money wasn’t this tight. But I was paying before this recent anti blocker war, I prefer YT Music just because of the way it handles a bunch of the music remixed by seperate and probably not “official” artists. And with how much youtube I watch on mobile instead of my PC, messing with blocking wasn’t very appealing to me, since the jump from YTmusic to full premium is less than almost any streaming sub.

But I have always watched/backgroundnoised a lot of youtube, so its not that much of pain. Realistically, this was bound to happen eventually, hosting that much content hasn’t really gone down in costs as quickly as most tech overhead. But its a fairly complex line item, not just hardware & facilities, but all the law office hours related to copyright log is an ongoing and probably still growing cost for them and since they are not Disney thats a real cost I’d imagine.

As a side note, it just reminds me how shockingly unaware I am of how much they must value our personal data, that it only just now became worthwile to fight blockers with this much effort and PR/image depreciation.

Thanks!

I’m curious as to what effect this might have on people who will now be charging at “slow” speeds, is all it going to do is trigger different Power saver settings?

Nooooope!

Well if they would think more than 1 financial quarter ahead of things, they’d realize that they will lose customers to competition, thereby ruining both device sales and data gathering profits.

What shocks me, and I do mean shocks me, is what this line of thinking implies. Is the data google (tries to) gather from me really worth more $ than, say, an average of 350$ each year? Cause thats just 1 phone every 2-3 years and I’m looking into a tablet, and wearables eventually. I refuse to believe any knowledge about me is unique and valuable enough to beat that, and it seriously confuses me.

I fucking love the name.

A brief reading actually surprises me to some extent. It would seem they actually brought on people who really know about security issues from strangers and rogue employees both. It looks as though the least amount of data needed to transmit the location is all that is handled off phone, and all of it is E2E.

It was bound to happen, and frankly I’d rather have access to these kinds of things and choose if/where to use them than to not. Provided stalker-detection remains the priority it appears to be currently.
