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.

Nicotine is harmful and no one, especially kids should be using it. Maybe you don’t know what nicotine does to the human body. If you know how it works on insects, it does the same thing to humans, especially when it’s consumed over decades. Now that it’s available in vape form, it’s even easier and way more likely to use even more and do more harm.

As for the flavors and colors. You need to educate yourself on the history of marketing tobacco and alcohol. These companies have never been marketing to adults with the candy flavors and the unicorn colors. You may not be old enough to remember wine coolers but those of us who do, remember that adults rarely drank them. Same goes for these vapes.

For the record. Afaik, thc does not have any of the same negative side effects as nicotine. You’ll live longer and healthier if you vape the “real” stuff or even the delta 8, 9,10, etc vs nicotine.

Not saying that the state should be outlawing it. Simply offering some real info and a counter to your claims of it being fun. It may be “fun” now but not so fun decades or sooner down the road when you have dementia, heart problems, etc.

Oh and I did block you because your only argument based on the comment I replied to would be, (fuck you, because, reasons). Homey don’t have time for that.

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.

When it goes up you can usually transfer to another provider for a decent discount. I recently did this with one of my domains when godaddy went nuts on a renewal for a domain I’ve had for like 10+ years at this point.

Your point wasn’t wrong. It simply wasn’t what the article was about.

Sounds like you didn’t read the article either.

What content did they link that you have a problem with? It’s not the OP that linked that encyclopedia link that I won’t click on.

Not likely. A violation of any NDA that may have been signed, sure, but not illegal. They could definitely be sued but not prosecuted.

Nice rant.

You should try reading the article. These aren’t cheap copies they are talking about.

The street fighter?

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.
