Nintendo picks and chooses who they sue using their copyrighted images. It's bullshit.

A tech YouTuber got a strike for using a intro screen to a Nintendo game. He did this before. The difference was he was talking about the Mig Switch.

Makes me wonder if they will ever go nuts and just copyright strike every Youtuber that helped them advertise their games for free for decades.

Is this the Adaptive Charging feature? That's the only thing I see in my Pixel 5a.

I am going to guess they have WiFi access points.

This happened to me a few times. It forced me to stop updating until the software I need required it.

Samsung Galaxy S24 has this too.

I never heard of Boox.

I might get the Palma to replace my nearly dead Sony Reader.

Thank you for bringing that brand to my attention.

Looks like they used to understand that piracy lead to sales.

If people don't buy the content, they might buy merchandise.

Or if they have a favorite they sampled, they can buy the physical copy for their collection.

They should slow down the major releases. No one is buying a Mac for new OS features. They are buying Macs for the processor, name brand, ease of use, compatibility, and/or they need it to develope software for Apple products.

I don't know of anyone talking about how the new widget system works with the desktop and the quick sidebar now. Or how they have new video backgrounds. Or how they made thr login screen icons smaller for no reason.

I mean, it can be used as a toilet paper receptacle. Just because you didn't buy it, doesn't mean you can't review it. People review and return stuff all the time. I do not see anything wrong here.

Note Google fired more than 12,000 people in the last two years.

If you don't care about the newest Android features, it doesn't matter much.

As for security, this is just my habit, but I don't trust my banking apps on phones that don't have the latest security update. I also won't put anything important in it like work stuff.

I have older phones and they work fine without updates. I still use my stock Pixel 2, which is 7 years old and didn't have updates for 4 years, for browsing and gaming.

 

However, this bug caused some DNS queries to be sent to the DNS server configured on the computer, usually a server at the user's ISP, allowing the server to track a user's browsing habits.
