Again, just anti consumer bullshit spearheaded by Apple and gargled by Samsung.

Samsung was actually one of the later Android manufacturers to drop it is my recollection.

I used to do this. I thought it was awesome but I was literally the only person I ever knew who did this. It was not a popular thing to do.

That's fair as a definition of genocide, though it isn't the way I'm used to understanding the word.

Precisely because of the differences though, I'd also find it in poor taste to make comparisons been the Canadian genocide against indigenous peoples and the Holocaust.

It always blows my mind some people actually found Apple's defense convincing.

The iPhones didn't inform users when they were throttling because they had an old battery. Apple kept the throttling a secret and coincidentally it helped them upsell new phones to people with old phones. This type of functionality was also unique to Apple, it's not like this is the only choice they had and an industry practice.

Games haven't been truly good for a long time

Meanwhile, here I am loving gaming and thinking we're in a golden age of gaming compared to my youth...

Genshin Impact has an incredible soundtrack.

Took me a while to figure out how to sign in with my lemdro.id account.

Maybe it's embarrassing to admit but I must have scanned through that long list of servers five times before realizing I could just type in my own server. Could be helpful to add a line inviting users to type in their own server.

Sooo anyone have any example prompts like from the article that haven't been payched yet and can successfully jailbreak current chat AIs?

I'm interested in doing some research with them.

Amazon is making over Alexa the same way Google is doing to Assistant.

This probably means a new lease on life for all of these types of products. Version 1.0 didn't make money, but generative AI is the new hotness, so they're getting a whole new chance to prove themselves.

One thing that drive me nuts on Pixels is how uncustomizable the launcher is. Can't even change basic things like the grid size or whether I want Google widgets locked permanently on the homescreen. Then, if you replace the launcher, gesture navigation gets all janky.

I mean, their message is a little weird, but so is the scaremongering that's been going on against them ever since they changed ownership. From comments on the Reddit post, Branch is actually integrated into Google apps, Samsung Launcher, and a ton of other stuff and nobody really blinks an eye at that.

There literally is no evidence they do anything unseemly with peoples' data, yet the scaremongering persists, including a lot right here in this thread. What exactly are they supposed to say other than to emphasize this fact? Anyone who would distrust them based on this post was already definitely inclined to distrust them.
