29 days agoSecurity cameras are everywhere in and around buildings/homes. Dash cams are pretty common these days and some even record when the car is off and alone. Someone is filming a vlog or some snap/insta/tiktok clip in the area.

If a US based company (via their websites) collects data on citizens in the EU, they have to comply. Otherwise the EU can issue fines. This is why some websites are geo-blocked.

If you are a website admin and know some of your traffic will come from the EU, you have to comply with the GDPR set for their residents, or block anyone from that region from accessing. You have complied by taking one of those actions.
2·6 months agoKey word in there is certified used.
Certified used means it comes with a warranty. My mother purchased a certified used Crosstrek. It was a returned lease. In fact most certified pre-owned vehicles are returned leases. The manufacturer powertrain warranty still applies and the dealer adds a warranty for everything else. She also had the option to purchase a manufacturer extended warranty because it still qualified, which she did. All for $24k. It’s 2 years old, less than 10k miles. It’s not a bad deal at all when you look at the bigger picture. The new cost of this Crosstrek in the configuration she got it in would have been $31k.

Google Play policy forbids PornHub from being allowed. But yet we have web browsers… Idgi
Some apps can’t be posted on store fronts for one or more reasons.
- Private Internet Access: Due to Play store policy, this version lacks the Mace feature. You have to download the full featured app from PIA’s website. https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/guides/android/install-3/android-installing-the-pia-apk-file
- PornHub: Obvious. But the app is genuinely a better experience than the website.
Side loading definitely has its place and is a welcome change to iOS.
Best Buy started doing this with their app. I’ve used it multiple times already. It’s so convenient. Scan the barcode with your camera in the app, it adds to the cart, pay when you’re done.
Anecdotal experience: Unfortunately, products that are locked up create a problem. I went in for two items. One of which was a single RAM stick for laptops. The employee refused to give me it even though I was literally going to pay for it on the spot as I had already collected the other item I wanted. He insisted it goes to the register per policy. I quickly got the barcode as he held it, then paid. “There. Paid for. See” as I showed him the screen. Dude was so annoyed as he handed me the RAM.
You can use KeePassXC on desktop https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc
I can’t speak for the others, but the Samsung Galaxy Store does come pre-installed. However, Google paid Samsung for the Play Store to be the default action for app installs. So you get both stores and can pick which one you want.
I commented further down, but I think you are confused with this bit:
RCS limits attaments to 100mb! What the hell, why? I can, today, send 100mb over SMS/MMS, on Verizon, to other Verizon phones. RCS would be a step backward.
This is not true by any means. See here: https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-14641/
The maximum file size for picture/video messages depends upon the device software and device’s network capability. View the signal indicator on your phone to determine which signal is being received:
4G / 4GLTE = 1.2MB image / 3.5MB video
5G / 5G UWB = 1.2MB image / 3.5MB video
Using Verizon Messages = 100MB over Wi-Fi
There is no such specification. It is solely up to the provider. For example, T-Mobile and ATT both state 100MB on their “Advanced Messaging” FAQ. I’m sure Verizon is the same though I couldn’t find the exact wording.
Photos and Videos through RCS use your data.
The spec does state there is an 8,000 character limit and a maximum of 100 participants in a group conversation.
Ah I missed that. Thanks.
In any case, I think this user is confused. See here: https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-14641/

I think this is where the confusion stemmed from.
I have no idea what carrier this user is with and I agree that sounds absurd. Photos and videos are automatically downgraded before being delivered. The file size limit is typically below 5MB. Videos are like 480p and photos are 720p. I hate sending photos through MMS and would rather use data with a different messaging app if RCS isnt available.
I remember this, but that’s literally for the activation or licenses. Which Microsoft implemented. In the settings for the Xbox app on Windows or the console itself, there is a toggle for making it the primary device for offline access. It sets for 30 days. After 30 days you connect again and the timer resets. Excluding games that explicitly run always online for because of forced multiplayer (Need for Speed, Division 2, etc).

This uses a miniscule amount of data and can be done on any internet type. It’s literally a check in.
Exactly. The alias just points to the script which is executed.
5 and 10 years is too optimistic. Infrastructure upgrades too slowly. ISPs compete and have monopolies on certain areas.
“Cloud” gaming is inaccessible for a lot of consumers. They’re priced out or geographically limited.
there is also a way to remove Edge on Windows by manually running the uninstaller from the terminal with some options
Well to this statement, no. Microsoft disabled that method with the release of 22H2. Attempting to do so now does nothing. I was aware of this and it was shared on Reddit and other forums all the time until it stopped working. In fact, just six months ago people were sharing it on Reddit and realized it wasn’t working. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/140d0y2/how_do_i_uninstall_microsoft_edge/
I do agree with the sentiment. It should be easy to uninstall these apps.
From their own privacy policy they outline what they do:
Literally all of this is what Google does. The only thing Apple does differently is hinder 3rd party apps to a greater degree, whereas Google is more permissive. But to be fair, Google has been improving the Privacy features of Android with each version.
