Did you not read anything I wrote?

And no, that isn’t likely the path for stolen phones,especially when it’s a theft of opportunity by someone looking to feed a drug habit. They aren’t thinking about going to a fence who can give them what the phone is worth at that level of the chain.

As I said in another comment, the locks both apple and android put in years ago had a major impact on the theft of phones. It’s pointless to steal them unless it’s part of a larger operation or you’re trying to get a phone that’s unlocked so you can siphon money from someone instead of just reselling the phone.

True. But the average idiot stealing a phone to feed a habit isn’t going to be able to bypass it. Of course those being stolen by order of a larger group can do it. But these locks severely reduced the number of opportunity thefts.

This isn’t the case anymore. Starting sometime back you can’t just reset android and set it up from scratch. It needs the pin and/or account that was on it prewipe. They are still likely good for parts but it’s pointless to steal newer smart phones.

I miss trillium. Those were the days.

Add no-script to the mix and you are golden. On mobile I use adguard to filter ads from pretty much every single app and website. As soon as I can figure out a couple of things bothering me with FF mobile I’ll be moving over to it with extensions.

It was.

One word, garmin. Garmin has its own special charger but it’s designed for ruggedneas and there are several adapters on the market that let you charge it with usbc. My 7x goes for 3+weeks with spo2 turned on and does everything else a normal smartwatch does like notifications, quick replies, music, etc.

You should look at garmin. My 7x goes for weeks with all data collection on and the screen is clear enough to see without the back light when there is enough ambient light.

Unless I am recording tons of workouts, I don’t have to charge the battery but every few weeks. I sometimes plug it in when I take a shower so I don’t have to worry about it.

You need to add that to the previous comment. You sounded like a loon who thought that leaves wouldn’t do any damage if left on top of the grass to smother them. You will lose some grass and depending on how many leaves as well the temp and amount of rainfall, you could end up with a ton of dead grass. I cleared my leaves as soon as I could after they fell.

It definitely can kill grass if you have enough trees and therefore leaves. I still have a few dead spots from the leaves I missed last year. I do basic maintenance and care for my yard and it’s thicker and more lush than neighbors who go full tilt. Part of that maintenance is making sure the leaves don’t kill the grass. I did one round of mowing the leaves and when I could finally get around to clearing the rest that dropped instead of mowing I blew it all into the storm ditch.

I have a major problem with the idea of bagging it up and sending it somewhere else, but, you do need to get the leaves off of any grass that you want to survive and grow. Maybe you don’t care about having grass, that’s cool but for the umpteenth time here just so I get it across, leaves can and will kill grass.

That’s just the beginning. Other artists have tried to avoid livenation venues but when the artist finds a venue, livenation just goes and buys said venue. That shit right there should have been taken to court.

Funny how these legal actions against companies like this only happen under democratic presidents.

When it goes up you can usually transfer to another provider for a decent discount. I recently did this with one of my domains when godaddy went nuts on a renewal for a domain I’ve had for like 10+ years at this point.

Your point wasn’t wrong. It simply wasn’t what the article was about.

Sounds like you didn’t read the article either.

What content did they link that you have a problem with? It’s not the OP that linked that encyclopedia link that I won’t click on.

Not likely. A violation of any NDA that may have been signed, sure, but not illegal. They could definitely be sued but not prosecuted.

Nice rant.

You should try reading the article. These aren’t cheap copies they are talking about.

The street fighter?

Way to out yourself as one of the idiots I’m talking about. Reddit is full of jackasses who think they are the epitome of knowledge on a subject when the opposite is the truth, the ones who post the most telling others they are wrong are the ones who don’t know shit about jack, sadly these numbnuts are making there way here, apparently you are one of them.

Sounds like you don’t understand tech at all. Some of us have been using smart phones since palm and blackberry. Earlier versions of Android didn’t need the confirmation at all, assuming that it was defaulted to file access.

I’ve been android since the beginning and my last few phones (all pixels) I don’t remember having to approve the usb connection after the first time.

Can you plug a random phone into a pc and access files? Probably not.

Can you plug your own phone into a pc it’s been connected to prior and access files even with a broken screen? More likely yes, than no.

You and the other minions downvoting me should try reading my entire comments as many times ad needed for you to grasp the very basic concepts at play.

And to repeat. You have no idea how the file system on android works. You most definitely can delete/backup/etc the photos, screenshots, etc on the phone via USB. You can not easily access app data as thats encrypted and stored elsewhere.

You kids need to get off the internet before you hurt yourself.

This is starting to feel more and more like reddit, that’s not a good thing.
