He couldn’t figure it out, a competent person could have without unplugging it.
without realizing access was only granted through a temporary license.
That phrasing has me concerend. Does this also cover the services being shut down?
“This is a permanent licence until we go bankrupt and you can’t access the content anymore”
Purchase/buy should mean you get a downloadable DRM free file. And thing else is a rental.
CEOs are fine, you need someone to steer the ship.
However don’t pay them a bazzilion bucks while eveyone else gets pennies.
It depends what region your in.
City: depends where you live, i.e. how close to “downtown” you are. A lot of stuff is walking distance, but not everything. You could walk to school and get some basic food or a pharmacy. Probably need a car/bus for work or larger grocery trips.
Suberbs/town, you might be able to walk to convince store or to school/library, everything else is going to be a car or about a 30min walk. That being said, sometimes you’re “deep” in the suberb and the nearest convince store is a 20-40 min walk.
Rual/farm: you need a a car to visit your neighbors. Nearest grocrey is a 30 min drive away.
Got my pixel direct, the unlock for me was greyed until I connected to WiFi. Other than that, I didn’t have to sign into anything and immediately put graphine on it.
6 min video, wear headphone or at least don’t watch in public space.
I do enjoy his videos. Apparently he working on the audacity overhaul too. Haven’t heard (or looked) at it a few years. Last I head was the freakout when the dared to add some basic telemetry to figure how people actually used the software.
Thanks for the info. I adjusted that section a bit, probably should more effort into the edit. Will read up on it some more in near future.
My point about the simplicity of using the “stock*” messesing app is still relevant for non-tech people. Grandpa doesn’t want 6 different messesging apps. The easy phone number/pre-installed/near-universal/moslty cross-platform nature of them is a huge advanatge. Only downside, it has a pricy subscription called “the phone bill”.
*i say stock in this case to pretty much include any app that uses your phone number and accepts sms/mms from another phone. For most people, thatll be the stock message app their phone comes with.
Ugreen sells a dual adapter. I’m sure other make one too. Don’t choose, just have both.

As for flimsy, unless you get apple’s piece of crap, they are resonably durable. Headphone cables were never know for duarbilty either.
Lastly, just leave the adapter plugged into your headphones or aux cable.
I’ll agree, they are awkward and I do miss my headphone port, but the solution work around is not that deep.
If your on desktop, here’s some unsolicited advice. If you’re on mobile, good luck…I’ve got nothing.
LPT: use unlock origin’s element picker to block any unwanted sections of youtube mixed into your feed.
“Premium” gone, “Shorts” gone, “Trending” gone, “Pay to watch” gone, “News” gone, “Survay” gone
LPT2: set a YouTube bookmark to go straight to your subscription page. This way you see the new videos you are most likely to care about first. No need to “hit the bell” and rely on notifications. When I’m caught up there, I’ll head over to home feed to see if there’s anything intresting.
LPT3: get the extention “Enhancer for YouTube”. There’s a ton of settings to basically set your playback defaults the way you like. I change the toolbar setting to " showin video playback bar" and auto expand" to get the various buttons to show up like the default ones. (The names of those setting is by memory).
“Unhook” is also good one for clearing out junk.
Lastly “DeArrow”, from the maker of SponsorBlock. This one crowd sources new video titles with the goal of replacing clickbait for an actual description of the video.
The nice thing about SMS is its on everyone’s phone by default.
No apps to download and no accounts to make. Adding someone is a simple 9 digit number.
imessage bridged the gap between bacsic SMS and feature-rich messages. With them both being in one app and handled automatically, it is very convenient to use. While the extra features are limited to apple phones, you can use imessage to universally message any other phone.
Google made a their own thing, RCS, to compete with imessage. They made it an open RCS is a standard and worked that works with carriers to make it so any phone could use it. it took Apple 7 years since release to add support.
Finally, you can text pretty much anyone with a smart phone a message with the “extra features” without hassle.
You can’t schedule RCS messages?
A basic features that has been around since the beginning of time is not included?
This sounds like a neat concept.
It’ll probably end up full of spam, bots and marketed b.s after a year, but it’ll be cool at first.
Does android auto work? Last I herd it did not…
Not sure but my city refuses to tear some down old buildings for "historical prosperity. These aren’t even nice buildings, they’re all condemed generic concrete blocks.
Price is probably #1.
Bit of speculation here with no real sources ; There was a boom in late 2022 through 2023 when people could finally reliably get parts again. I’m guessing many who wanted to upgrade already did in the past 2 years. Anyone who got a new computer in 2020 onward should be fine for at least a few more years. I think the average is around 7 years.
The market will probably see a surge between 2027-2030 as people begin replacing their “covid era” computers.The market right now is mainly seeing anyone with a pre-covid computer who bought a nice top of line machine for about 1k. They’re looking at current pricing and choosing to go with today’s mid-low teir, which will outclass their old 201x top of the line computer.
Another factor could be AAA gaming hasn’t exactly been pumping out hit new tiles the last 5 years. People who wanted to play cyberpunk or Eldon ring already upgraded by the time Wukon came out.
With less new games requirng the latest and greatest means the need to upgrade is going drop too.
Again all speculation…
Na, that’s a total valid point. In school you could tell anyone who’s note book was a giant yellow soggy mess was not going to adjust well to adult life.
