Did you not read anything I wrote?

And no, that isn’t likely the path for stolen phones,especially when it’s a theft of opportunity by someone looking to feed a drug habit. They aren’t thinking about going to a fence who can give them what the phone is worth at that level of the chain.

As I said in another comment, the locks both apple and android put in years ago had a major impact on the theft of phones. It’s pointless to steal them unless it’s part of a larger operation or you’re trying to get a phone that’s unlocked so you can siphon money from someone instead of just reselling the phone.

True. But the average idiot stealing a phone to feed a habit isn’t going to be able to bypass it. Of course those being stolen by order of a larger group can do it. But these locks severely reduced the number of opportunity thefts.

This isn’t the case anymore. Starting sometime back you can’t just reset android and set it up from scratch. It needs the pin and/or account that was on it prewipe. They are still likely good for parts but it’s pointless to steal newer smart phones.

I miss trillium. Those were the days.

Add no-script to the mix and you are golden. On mobile I use adguard to filter ads from pretty much every single app and website. As soon as I can figure out a couple of things bothering me with FF mobile I’ll be moving over to it with extensions.

It was.

One word, garmin. Garmin has its own special charger but it’s designed for ruggedneas and there are several adapters on the market that let you charge it with usbc. My 7x goes for 3+weeks with spo2 turned on and does everything else a normal smartwatch does like notifications, quick replies, music, etc.

You should look at garmin. My 7x goes for weeks with all data collection on and the screen is clear enough to see without the back light when there is enough ambient light.

Unless I am recording tons of workouts, I don’t have to charge the battery but every few weeks. I sometimes plug it in when I take a shower so I don’t have to worry about it.

That’s just the beginning. Other artists have tried to avoid livenation venues but when the artist finds a venue, livenation just goes and buys said venue. That shit right there should have been taken to court.

Funny how these legal actions against companies like this only happen under democratic presidents.

Way to out yourself as one of the idiots I’m talking about. Reddit is full of jackasses who think they are the epitome of knowledge on a subject when the opposite is the truth, the ones who post the most telling others they are wrong are the ones who don’t know shit about jack, sadly these numbnuts are making there way here, apparently you are one of them.

Sounds like you don’t understand tech at all. Some of us have been using smart phones since palm and blackberry. Earlier versions of Android didn’t need the confirmation at all, assuming that it was defaulted to file access.

I’ve been android since the beginning and my last few phones (all pixels) I don’t remember having to approve the usb connection after the first time.

Can you plug a random phone into a pc and access files? Probably not.

Can you plug your own phone into a pc it’s been connected to prior and access files even with a broken screen? More likely yes, than no.

You and the other minions downvoting me should try reading my entire comments as many times ad needed for you to grasp the very basic concepts at play.

And to repeat. You have no idea how the file system on android works. You most definitely can delete/backup/etc the photos, screenshots, etc on the phone via USB. You can not easily access app data as thats encrypted and stored elsewhere.

You kids need to get off the internet before you hurt yourself.

This is starting to feel more and more like reddit, that’s not a good thing.

It depends on how the phone is setup and whether or not you have plugged in to a pc before. It sounds like it’s you that has that no idea.

Most android phones (can’t speak to Apple) are pretty much plug and play via USB. Plug it in and browse the files on it, it’s slow as hell and may be retrievable by software designed to undelete files but it’s doable, you may have to approve the connection on the phone but if you have plugged it in prior then you probable don’t have to.

Restaurants really do run on tight margins. Most restaurants don’t make it past the first couple of years. The restaurant in the article does not seem like fast food and yes, sometimes you do have to raise prices to cover increases in operating costs, one of which is staff.

Can I get a no shit sherlock? Some of us know this, others know this and put short term profits above long term success.

I thought this fud had been debunked.

Are you accounting for the energy used to extract the oil, the energy used to transport it to a refinery, the energy used to refine it, the energy used to transport it to the gas station and then the energy used to pump into your car?

There is no way that the carbon needed to create a battery is more over the decades of life for said battery along with the renewable used to charge it, than the ongoing carbon released to keep ice engines running.

There is also a move to power battery facilities with renewables and when we reach a point where batteries are being recycled it gets even better.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. We have to move past ice engines and right now ev is our best option.

That was a general answer. As others have said it breaks the motors in the camera and can do other damage. This isn’t an apple thing, damage is done to any phones used with a motorcycle and from what I’ve heard the vibration dampening mounts don’t eliminate the problem completely.

The vibrations fuck with the phone.

Apkmirror is the trusted source for this. You do you but apkmirror is the source for this, they have been around for as long as I can remember and I’ve never read anything about the apks being non genuine

Let me introduce you to apkmirror. Download the apks at your leisure and even go back in time and grab older versions if/when you feel the need.

A growing number of towns and cities have done exactly this. It’s partially responsible for pushing att and others to expand their true fiber networks. I’m in NC and we currently have by my count 5 companies offering ftth with 3 of them actively burying fiber and conduit all over town.
