I think all Android phones have this feature, but it has to be turned on.
You can also turn your phone off if they ask for it. Phones need the password to unlock if they’ve been turned off.
But I like lockdown more, since it can still record audio.
Is it that Linux is getting popular, or that most people don’t buy new computers anymore now that their phone does everything they used it for, so it’s only the enthusiasts still buying?
Those of us who believe Ukrainian lives and freedoms are worth preserving don’t need convincing.
Those that think it’s too expensive to do the right thing need to be shown that even when discounting the moral necessity of the relief, the return on investment is excellent.
This can be both, and it’s CHEAP.
For less than 1/10th the direct cost of the Iraq war and at the cost of zero American servicemember lives we’ve set back Russia’s military by decades, strengthened NATO, and actually done something positive for a change.
“Global War” isn’t all war on the globe. It’s war that pulls in the whole world. Having 4 of the P5 gang up on the 5th in a military campaign authorized by the UN would very likely result in WWIII.
The veto power prevents the UN from taking military action against a country the interest of countries that can sustain a war against the rest of the world.
I don’t know what’s on every phone. But I can confirm those 2 are defaults on some devices through personal experience.
And there are also devices without the Play store by default. Amazon products are probably the best example, but they’re not the only ones.
Don’t get me wrong - Google does some terrible shit. But they’re better than pretty much every other major software company on this issue. All the major game consoles and Apple require the use of their stores exclusively. Microsoft requires the Microsoft store to be installed on any modern Windows machine.
Yeah - the Play Store is the de-facto default and by far the most successful on the platform. And yeah - Google likes it that way and encourages it. But so does everyone else. The difference is that Google is the best actor in this area.
Google allows sideloading. They allow other storefronts. They allow other stores to be installed by default by manufacturers. They allow manufacturers to not include the Play Store. And they allow the removal/disabling of the Play Store by users.
Amazon store and Galaxy store are absolutely installed by default on many devices.
With more and more cars these days, you’ve got more than radio controls in the OSD.
The steering wheel heater of all things can only be accessed through the infotainment system on my Dad’s F-150. It’s beneath the Bluetooth button.
Unoccupied housing in growth areas needs to be taxed mercilessly.
And taxes on non-multifamily rental properties should also be physically painful for the owners.
The problem in this case is depending on the security council to act on an issue it isn’t designed to address.
The main purpose of the UN is to prevent global war, and the Security Council is the primary way in which that goal is achieved.
In that context, the P5’s veto power makes sense. It prevents resolutions pitting the world against one of the superpowers that can sustain that kind of war.
My hatred of soccer isn’t due to FIFA. I’m just American and it’s one of our more benign hatreds.
Doesn’t change that it’s shitty now and has been for years.
They don’t get credit for the EU pressuring them to be less shitty.
And it specifically allows sharing outside of a household. So me, both my parents, and my ex all share a subscription. And it covers YouTube Music as well. It was better when it was GPM, but that’s been a while now.
Yeah.
Because Apple has a proprietary messaging format. They won’t adopt the standard the rest of the world uses or open theirs up for others to use.
That’s not a number - that’s a sentence that takes up 3 times as many characters as 3/8.
3/8 is more efficient.
Significant figures is what I’m talking about. The entire point of them is to prevent spurious precision. How do you record a measurement of 3/4 precise to 1/4 using sig figs?
You can’t do .75 because that’s implying a precision 25 times greater than the measurement.
You can’t do .8 because that’s implying a precision that’s still 2.5 times more precise than the measurement.
So it’s 1.
It’s not that precision can’t be arbitrarily recorded higher in fraction, it’s that precision can’t be recorded precisely. Decimal is essentially fractional that’s written differently and ignoring every fraction that isn’t a power of 10.
How can a measurement 3/4 that’s precise to 1/4 unit be recorded in decimal using significant figures? The most-correct answer would be 1. “0.8” or “0.75” suggest a precision of 1/10th and 1/100th, respectively, and sig figs are all about eliminating spurious precision.
If you have 2 measurement devices, and one is 5 times more precise than the other, decimal doesn’t show it because it can only increase precision by powers of 10.
In the case of 1/64th above, if you just divide it out it shows a false precision of 1/100,000.
Specifically, they had bad dialogue. The story was there.
I mean - look at the scene where Anakin finally changes sides. He walks in and Palpatine is on the ground, defeated and unarmed. Then Mace Windu decides to kill him anyway.
This is a betrayal of everything the Jedi are supposed to stand for. They’re not supposed to be involved in politics. They aren’t supposed to kill prisoners. What makes the Jedi better than the Sith? If both sides are the same, why shouldn’t he side with the group that won’t hold him back?
The "story* laid an excellent foundation across 3 films to bring us that scene.
Unfortunately the dialogue and the direction were shit the whole way through, so it didn’t work.
