Looks more like left, given the way the wheel is pushed in

Easily replaceable batteries.

I have a 2017 phone I just put a battery in for $10. They're replaceable, just not without tools.

Thanks.

I've read a little about A.S., but had no idea what it looked like.

I too have no idea how to follow someone.

Oh, my, a face only a mother could love.

What are we looking at? (I get it's the spine, but what makes the image look the way it does?)

Looks like a burned cashew to me!

My banking app works, but I stopped using it because it's bloated garbage (100mb!?)

Instead I use Hermit or Native Alpha to create shortcuts to websites like bank, Amazon, etc. These make websites function like apps, so I don't need the crappy apps from these places, and have a single app install instead of multiple crappy apps.

Pixel 5 is cheap. It really depends on your use case. I like the 7 for the cost point and size.

As for storage, there's not really an easy comparison as they do things differently. I hammer on phones, move a lot of files around all the time, take music and movies with me, and find 128gb is fine. But I also use Media Monkey as an iTunes-like media sync (you can use iTunes, I just don't like it). I also use Syncthing and Resilio to access my own media.

Edit: Also Android handles storage a little differently, by having dedicated partitions for things like system and user. For example, my "128 GB" phone actually has 117 GB usable space due to formatting, native apps/user config data and such (apps and config data are stored in the user partition). The space used for the operating system is a different partition, inaccessible to us users so not worth worrying about.

It makes no sense to single out Apple, as that would simply push bad actors to other platforms, which will happen anyway, as is obvious to any security professional.

Except it does, or why else would they do it?

Android doesn't really have an equivalent to iCloud direct from Google. It doesn't have iMessage (which is technically encrypted, though with issues).

Android doesn't have a full backup system like iOS. It doesn't automatically sync to a cloud like iOS, etc, etc.

Its just not the same. Grab any Android phone, and the mix of messengers for sms alone is vastly different. Not to mention all the other messengers.

It's a lot easier to gather a lot of info from a lot of people by first attacking iOS. It's kind of the opposite of virus/malware.

Facebook and security? That's a joke, right?

I've used that script for years now, can't work on a machine without it any more! I'm always changing it for new things that I'm doing. It's brilliant.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but there's an old script in the help files called Favorite Folders that may do what you need, or lead you to a solution.

I'll see if I can find it.

Look in the AHK Help for "Easy Access to Favorite Folders" By Savage.

I've used this script since about 2008, and learned a lot from it.

Another idea - have a separate script running that waits for the Tray Top and it's text, gets the X, Y coordinates, and if there's a click there opens your file. I'm not sure if this will be easy to do or is realistic at all.
