As a longtime OG Pixel Fold owner, god I hate the look of the camera bar. I wish google would work on their design a bit more. It’s like they took all of the hate for their “pill” style UI design and thought that the problem was just that it wasn’t more thoroughly integrated into the overall product.

Of course the justification was, “they’re making us look bad!”

I’ll continue using them.

I had never heard this before. I always have an Android tracker in both my checked and carry on bags.

But see, if I order 10,000 I get the bulk price of $5 each. If I only order 500 then they will cost the seller $40 each. Of course this effect can be minimized with annual volume commitments where a miss means that you simply pay your supplier the difference.

The reality is that the normal situation will not be a difference as stark as this example, but some form of it exists.

This requires game developers to actually finish the game before they release it though, so unrealistic by today’s standards.

Ah, that one makes sense.

How was Nike involved? They didn’t exist until ~ the 70s I thought.

Seriously, dude didn’t even have to click the link before commenting. It was right there in the summary.

Being the “low cost Mac” is very different from being the cheapest option.

Though I’ll say that my one Mac purchase in the early 00’s was a few years after they switched to OSX and I bought a Macbook Pro for probably 60%+ more than the equivalent PC but it lasted me over 2X as long as any PC ever had prior. Plus the free OS upgrades that were unheard of on Windows machines at the time.

I didn’t think it’s censured so much as altering the text to read slightly differently, more honestly.

For the first time in 7 years? Hmmm, would that make it Biden or Obama’s fault then?

Same! Even converted a couple of Surface tablets over as well. Id like to try Pop Linux on one of them just to see, but can’t get em to boot from USB.

Action Launcher is what you seek then. I liked it better than Nova back when Nova was everybody’s darling, and finally stopped trying other launchers because they lacked something or other.

Thanks, I’ll give this a try!

So the tricorder in Star Trek was just a fancy, battery powered wifi hotspot??

Is there a straightforward way to do this on Linux?

If the lobbyists have money to pay bribes, then they have money to pay taxes. It doesn’t seem like a stretch for the government to get that money without all of the coercion.

The crazy thing (to me) is that governments can still get all of those billions without the undue influence. Instead of bribes, they can charge fines, taxes, fees for regulatory inspections, etc. When you write the law, you don’t have to just shrug when things are obviously broken.

Right? I use Goo B Gone
