They still do their bloated framework and launcher outside the US.

And then they start scanning your files, for your safety and "the children". Find something they don't like. Might even be perfectly legal, and close your account. Because AI...

Puff, gone are your files and you have zero way to appeal.

There is NO cloud.. only someone else's computer...

I'm stunned with how bad it was and why they hell they didn't use the same strategy that made Windows popular.. The apps.

My work back then gave me a Windows Phone. Very few of the apps I had on my Android phone was available for my work phone.

On top of that a lot of things simply didn't work. One thing I still remember was that Alarm volume and Ring tone volume could not be adjusted individually.

The whole thing felt like they wanted to reinvent the wheel and started from absolute scratch without learning from the innovation in the past decade of mobile phones.

It's sad, a third competitor in the smartphone space wouldn't have been a bad thing.

But then comes the issue, which government? As Starlink is global infrastructure.

Maybe, there's still important questions. Will it scale? Preliminary tests only transfered mA's before the super conductivity breaks down. So can you layer the material to get higher amps? Will cables have to be made in one continuous part or will the super conductivity work across joined cables

Nah, Americans just mistake subsidized healthcare and prohibitive gun laws as actual communism

Go watch Louis Rossman, he shoots down almost all of your Apple propaganda, eh ment arguments.

Oh please, Apple doesn't give a shit about their customers nor does any other major corporation for that matter. Only money matters.

I rarely see any ads. First thing I do on a clean windows or new phone, is to install adblockers. Simply because they have become so intrusive and takes up a lot of screen realestate. On top of that ads have been attack vectors for zero day exploits into people's computers several times before.

One place I still see ads are on Facebook, and they never target anything I'm interested in. I suspect it's because of greed. Because they are absolutely collecting my data, so they should be able to target me with relevant stuff, but they will allow any ads as long as the advertisers pay up. I have seen explicit ads on Facebook.. on Facebook! Where users almost gets banned for saying butt. Ads on the other hand, is fine..

The result is I'm bombarded with irrelevant ads, that I never click.

As services gets more aggressive with pushing ads down my throat, the more aggressive methods I'm going use to block ads or find alternative services. They did it to themselves.

Most young people are basically tech illiterate. Yeah they are fantastic with new apps and phones. But have zero idea how any of it works under the hood.

Ask them to transfer a file from a computer to a USB drive, most will not know how. They have no idea how a file system is structured or even that an app has to specifically made for different platforms.. e.g. Facebook app on Apple is completely different from Facebook on Android and the two will contain different bugs and different settings.

We are almost back to default browser = internet
