If you can install custom software on those computers, Syncthing is completely free and no account needed

They used to have both the old school one where you swipe up on the three sections at the bottom, as well as the new Google one for years. The newest update to OneUI 6.1 removed the classic swipe controls for no reason, keeping only the Google one. I had to install Good Lock and NavStar to make some sort of custom settings configuration, which returned the navigation option. Thankfully I did get it working, but only after messing around and wasting 20 minutes of my time.

I really hate that they think they own my device, not me.

Streets ahead

Latest Samsung updates removed classic swipe controls for navigation. I had to do a hacky workaround including finding 2 random APKs just to preserve functionality. (S21U)

Headphones are great but they aren't speakers

I'm not saying that a giant pipeline would be preferable, but cooling LNG to cryogenic temperatures and keeping it there for the entire voyage is very energy intensive, not to mention the fuel costs of a carrier vessel. I am against gas exploration and transporting in general and in all its forms. It should not be considered a 'necessary' evil and it should certainly not see further investment in my opinion.

For home use I have seen most people buy dirt in bags. A sedan or even a compact would handle carrying those. The open sides can be a benefit for sure, but I don't know about putting cargo 'as high as you want to,' given that wind is a thing. And vans are pretty tall anyway!

I understand that they can have some utility on a farm or something, but the average person is not regularly transporting a 'couple loads of dirt' in suburbia.

Also conveniently forgetting that shipping methane across an ocean is extremely polluting and inefficient

A van will have more cargo volume for the same wheelbase, be easier to load, and have the cargo be covered from the elements. Those are made for carrying stuff. Pick-ups are made only to show that the owner is compensating for something.

Plex is fine for content delivery but they are pushing their own media services and require payment for more advanced features and some devices, which some fear will only get worse over time. Jellyfin is nearly as good for media playback but fully free and open source.

Water flosser works great for me personally

Last time I canceled it it was very easy to do (amazon.ca)

I have once, on a tiny family farm in my childhood. It's nothing special and I preferred the processed version personally. Truly do not see the hype.

It's easier that some think, but it is not easy. Of course it is more convenient to just keep using the thing you are already using, and no one is saying that clicking one button and getting a package the next day can't be a time save, just that it is not impossible or extremely difficult to stop using the service.

And retail businesses with physical locations definitely don't do the exact same thing as Amazon, given that you can go to the store to get your item as opposed to needing it delivered.

Having lived in both, Canadian healthcare >>> American healthcare. Walking out of a hospital after they saved your life with a bill of $0 is very nice in my experience.

Bit outdated info on hard drive pricing, I recently bought 12TB drives for $85 each (albeit used)

FLauncher is decent

The issue with wanting a bigger battery is that many high end laptops already have the largest capacity that you can take on an aircraft in NA/EU (100 Wh)

And that is exactly why technological development should be supported, rather than using that money to desperately keep the old ways. Pouring money into temporarily subsidizing a finite resource at the expense of investments into the future is ultimate short-term thinking. Is it really so bad if fuel prices creep up over time? This of course assumes that this money would be used for more productive ways otherwise, which is not a safe bet.

Maybe my wording is unclear. I am wondering how they should be expected to detect it in the first place. Murder leaves a body. Abuse leaves a victim. Generating files on a computer? Nothing of the sort, unless it is shared online. What would a new regulation achieve that isn't already covered under the illegality of 'revenge porn?' Furthermore, how can they possibly even detect anything beyond that without massive privacy breaches as I wrote before?
