Onomatopoeia

And people wonder why I disable the update system?

I seem to recall there being serious side effects for some people, though it was widly effective for weight loss.

I've been using Blacklist for probably 10 years, recently switched to SpamBlocker. Wow, what a complex and flexible app.

I get no messages or calls I don't want.

Ye, that's crap, but seems mostly an Apple issue. If you need a PC with both, you buy a business class machine (which I do anyway, because consumer lines suck).

But that approach you lose wifi.

Though I have 3 laptops with both wifi and cell, 2 old Dells and a newer Lenovo.

I think the complaint here is Apple not even giving the option of both simultaneously.

1. Voice calls via POTS isn't a big thing via laptop. Most calls like this are now via apps. Hell, I despise using POTS any more, my phone SIM doesn't even do voice, all calls are VOIP now via a service that interconnects with POTS.

2. You can use a SIM dongle for laptops without a built-in modem. Though business class laptops have a cell modem as an option

There's just little call for circuit-based voice calls any more. Those connections are more sensitive to network issues, and I'd bet most voice calls are some form of VOIP anyway. If you really need circuit-based calling, you can still do it over IP using a service like jmp.chat

I have 3.

It just has to be chosen as an option at purchase time. Though usually consumer lines don't have the option.

To be fair, the older a cartoon is the more it was written for adults.

Combination of Macrodroid's drawer feature and Jina Folders. Works pretty well.

Goosefat for grilling asparagus? Hell yea!

I think the market for it really isn't there for a few reasons.

Performance is questionable, depending on the apps. Android isn't really a desktop (or even laptop) OS from a UI standpoint. Tied to this, Android apps aren't designed around desktop use.

Then we have laptops that have come a very long way in the last ten years, where battery life now approaches tablet OS (my newest laptops run all day, which is what my iPad does if I use it all day like a laptop). Considering the battery life equivalence, I get a lot more functionality from a desktop OS per charge cycle than I do from a mobile OS (not by watts, but by how often I need to charge).

I used to take my iPad with me on trips when I needed a little more than phone functionality, but not desktop. Now my laptop is marginally larger and heavier than an iPad with a keyboard case, and it charges from the same USB C cable as my phone.

All this seems to be something this idea returns to every time it comes around. Having a single device sounds brilliant, but I'd have to carry a dock anyway, so there's not really a benefit in the end, may as well carry a laptop too.

Lol, so you were fine with Google spying with all the prior administrations back to 2000...

There is some strong evidence that Google was created with strong ties to the NSA... During the Clinton administration. You were OK with that?

That would be saying you were OK with the creation of this spying behemoth because it was under an admin you agreed with.

I'm not OK with it, regardless of which admin it was. It's not a good thing, and at a minimum violates the spirit of law.
