've been an Android user since I got my first Samsung Galaxy S3 and getting ads on the standard launcher on my Philips Android TV was one step too much.
Google will start showing ads in the launcher sooner or later. I might be paying more money for the Apple equivalent, but they aren’t as hostile to their users as Google are.

Joe,
Well, Joe, you made it. A lot of people said you wouldn’t. Frankly, I’m surprised, but here we are. You know, this job—it’s not easy. People don’t understand. They think they know, but they have no idea. Believe me, it’s the toughest job in the world. I did it better than anyone ever has, that I can tell you. People say it all the time. But now it’s your turn. Let’s see what you’ve got.
You’re going to learn quickly, Joe. The media? They’ll love you at first. They’re on your side now, we all know that, OK? They never treated me fairly. It was a witch hunt from day one. Fake news—nonstop. But here’s the thing: they’ll turn on you too. Trust me, they always do. And when they do, you’ve got to be ready. They’re not your friends, Joe. They never were.
Let’s talk about the swamp. You know it’s bad, I know it’s bad—everybody knows it’s bad. But it’s worse than you think. Much worse. They’ll smile to your face and stab you in the back. I cleaned a lot of it up—did an incredible job, by the way—but you’ve got to watch out. You’ve been here 47 years, but I don’t think you’ve seen what I’ve seen. Be strong, Joe. You’re going to need to be stronger than you’ve ever been.
America First, Joe. Always. I rebuilt this country. Best economy in history. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Record jobs, record stock market, and then—boom—the China virus hit. Total disaster. But we handled it amazingly. You’re inheriting something great, don’t mess it up. People love America First, Joe. You’d better not forget that. The radical left—they’ll try to pull you away from it. Don’t let them do it. They’ll ruin everything. Believe me, they’re bad news. Very bad news.
And here’s the thing: they’ll tell you to undo everything we did—big mistake. Huge. The military? I rebuilt it. Our trade deals? Best deals we’ve ever had. You don’t want to go back to the old way. It was a disaster before me. Total disaster. Keep what works, Joe, even if they tell you not to. They won’t admit it, but they know I was right. Everybody knows it.
Anyway, Joe, good luck. You’re gonna need it. We’ll see what happens, right? A lot of people are watching. And you never know, maybe I’ll be back in 2024. People are talking about it. A lot of people.
Donald J. Trump
45th President of the United States
P.S. Don’t let Kamala take over. I hear she’s already measuring the drapes. Sad!
Edit: forgot to mention that this is not the real letter. Obviously.
Yeah…
I bet there has been no delays expediting the group contributions to Sony…
That’s not how you spell “Xinjang camps” …
Maybe specifying source should be a legal requirement if the LLM service provider shouldn’t automatically be held accountable for the answers their services produce?
Just checked it out on steam and it seems that it’s micro transactions focuse. If it just was cosmetics it would have been ok, but since you can purchase vehicles it sounds like it’s leaning towards “get the upper hand by paying money”.
Anyone who have played the game that can tell if there’s better cars to buy for real money than you can “earn” ingame?
You forgot to add the /s in the end…
Hamas kidnapped Hersh Goldberg-Polin, among other non-combatants, on the 7th of October. As captors, Hamas were at a minimum responsible for keeping the hostages alive. Hamas could have chosen to release the non-combatants at any point but choose not to.
This not about Israel being or not being assholes. This is about Hamas not even taking a minimum of responsibility for what they have caused.
Hamas does not care about the Palestinian people. Hamas only cares about their cause.
It might but wind based energy production won’t go away. It has already proven its place in energy production. While there’s a lot of people that had invested in fossil and nuclear, there’s a lot of investors in wind energy too.
Wind energy production will just get more efficient and getting closer to being CO2 neutral in the future.
Nothing new. The dirt Putin has on Trump has been known for years…
RFK Jr. is about to learn the hard way what anyone paying attention already knows:
Trump makes a lot of promises that he has no intention to follow through.
Psssst… Starbucks… You’re doing it wrong.
CARBON: 50 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Starbucks direct operations and value and supply chain.
Love the tyre screeching on gravel 0:42…
In my experience there always someone willing to create everything from homebrew software to software activation. Especially if there’s some money to make on it.
The hardware has full functionality from day one. The limitation is in what software you are using.
Active suspension is not a hardware feature, it’s software collecting data from sensors and by analysing the data being able adjusting the suspension to “optimal performance”. Just because certain hardware can be controlled by software doesn’t mean that you will get whatever software features you like to have.
BMW would claim that “BMW Smooth Comfortable Cloud Ride Software” is included free of charge with the purchase of a BMW.
BMW would also claim that they offer “BMW Hyper Advanced AI Premium Sensation Masculine Active Road Experience Pro Suspension” as an optional subscription for alpha males and people with too much money in their pockets.
The outcome of what you are suggesting will be a slight change in the phrasing of the product offering at the most.
With access to the keys, the owner can subscribe to the BMW solution, unlock the features in breach of the agreement with BMW by not subscribing or get a software solution for the car from another provider.
While a honorable move, “never” doesn’t exist in a world based on quarterly financials…
So you purchase ordinary suspension but get active suspension that works exactly like ordinary suspension and cost like active suspension to service…
It’s time we get legislation that gives the consumer access to all encryption key pairs used in the product they purchased.
(For you who don’t know what encryption key pairs are used for: they are used for the software to know that a change order, like “activate suspension”, is legit and therefore will be executed.)
In its email, Google states that it is closing down the program because of the “overall increase in the Android OS security posture and feature hardening efforts.” This has led to researchers submitting fewer vulnerabilities than before.
Keeping the program will reap the benefits from both no. 1 and no.2 while closing down the program only enables no.2.
Not hard to see the priorities here…
As a Swede I approve.
Despite the slurs, Mr Swenson was glad that the hackers had announced their presence so loudly. It would have been much worse, he said, if they had decided to quietly observe his family inside their home. They could’ve peered through his robot’s camera, and listened through the microphone, without him having the slightest clue.
Who says they didn’t???
Even if Mr Swenson had used the same username and password on other sites, and if those credentials had been leaked online, that still should not have been enough to access the video feed or to control the robot remotely. These features are supposed to be protected by a four-digit PIN. The PIN code was only checked by the app, rather than by the server or robot.
I don’t even…
