Not really. Those benefits that are marketed are mostly just enablers for laziness, but not actually solving anything. It caters to the self repeating lie of "saving precious time" but actually harms responsibility and security at scale.

Oh, I thought it's something about the mobile client. I also noticed it doesn't support drag/drop with an image, probably because it's an electron app and things like that has to be coded specifically.

Probably not, it's an Israeli firm.

What's wrong with pasting from clipboard ?

Google phones are Nexus and Pixel series and I'm willing to bet those aren't the majority sold. Data collection happens nevertheless the device.

Nobody forced them to buy Windows computers either. Directly. It's just the network effect and the market who do.

> Disabling automatic updates isn't really a viable solution, and I will convey downvotes to people who advocate it.

As they switch to a cumulative update model, will you wildly down-vote people who think that breaking their system with 1 update out of 10 is somehow reasonable ? Or that excluding that update but installing others would make more sense, then:

a) leaving everything out for that month,

b) having an unusable system.

Morons like you who accept and even enforce this kind of "my way of the highway" attitude to the others are the reason MS can get away with it.

> they are used primarily by people trying to do very large transactions in an untraceable way

And ? I don't want my large or small transactions traced, monitored and monetized upon the untouchables called banks and I don't understand anyone who agrees with this but otherwise supports freedom and anonymity in tech.

The whole thing is just an excuse for more control.

Sadly the only choice for that is the LTSB edition, not eligible for end-user purchase. Personally I justified its install with my machine being eligible for free 10 update and ending with less features (which I don't need). It receives a cumulative security update once per month and no junk.

Let's see how the EU Android trial will finish and hope for the best.

Probably because some people actually paid for the OS and still have to see this dumb shit.

Dongles.

I bet most of the people aren't completely in line of "companies beliefs", the only difference is finding this out and broadcasting publicly with modern social media and its witch hunt influence.

You should probably apply for work in the Apple PR team for "Pro"fessionals.

Apple are just victims of their own game - making stuff thinner/lighter every year as it's somehow the next world wonder. Unless they'll finally admit it and stop this BS, they'll get themselves cornered soon enough.

I mean just use the advantage of new technology to fill up the gained space with batteries. The premise of limiting RAM is also pretty much BS - if I get a device with 16GB RAM I still get the same battery life as now, but if I put more memory inside, I do this willingly to sacrifice battery. NOTHING CHANGES for people with 8/16GB configuration.

Unless they're doing this with the classic Apple smug "we know what's best for you" reason. Oh and to sell more adapters.

The issue is that we users don't know what they'll bring in an update. And mind you it's auto updated without warning, you have to basically rename couple .exe files, disable some tasks in the Task Scheduler and Services on Windows to stop the auto update. This combined with the notion you don't know what changed is asinine.

And you still have no clue why he won, although the nature of your statements have helped to it.

The more you'll repeat words like "racism" and "bigotry", the more this "black magic" will come to play. They have lost its real meaning by blanket use, people are desensitised by them and this shows with their support.

More effort needed is less free time for nonsense and procrastination.

Google security is so strong, they'll even lock you out of your own account when changing cities, with no chance to get it reinstated :

Lying about "fake news" after the loss by media doesn't help either : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyS3Ghevf2I

While it sucks, Apple doesn't have the majority of the market.

In the USA.

Well there are no records of any Japanese running around with katanas chopping heads from that time.

On the other hand in blindly immigrant accepting Europe though... We learned our lesson since last year.

Services aren't tied to a specific phone. That's the whole point of being "services".

Yep, .vcf is pretty nice, also stores the contact image inside.

Sounds like "if the only tool you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail" view of the world. People throwing "white" as a slur, then react like a victim when someone opposes. Hypocrisy over 11, but sadly fixing it would take psychotherapy, because they're prone to this behaviour not having any prospects/purpose in life.

You don't shift up/down in turns, but before and in the exit path out of them.

Until you're in a position to having to drive one. Being helpless because of technology isn't one of the traits people should look forward to.
