Or we were forked into a garbage timeline to keep the main timeline from being irreparably harmed.

Talk about false advertising. Tried to order contact lenses on Lens dot com the other day for someone. Advertised price with rebate seemed reasonable. Create account, (as they require that to proceed) go on about choosing options and filling in info.

Only at the last order page, do they tack on $250 of "taxes and fees" (even though it's a medical device so it's not taxed) and then try to explain away in an info widget that taxes are "stuff we may be charged but we're just making up this bullshit number." Oh, and they charge shipping.

1800contacts did not do either of these things. LensDirect seemed equally non-bullshit but their prices were a bit higher.

How many people get scammed by the "taxes and fees" field figuring, "welp, I guess that's just the price of America."?

Edit: de-hyperlinking the lens site, they don't deserve any clicks, only hate.

Phones are surprisingly hard to get into these days under normal conditions. Used to be able to ask a lost phone to call mom to find the owner. Now the voice profile doesn't match.

You didn't even miss the misplaced comma. Check mate. (Edit, I jest, but just asking the question means you don't know and are probably a dev. Making something work one way is easy. Covering everything the dev missed because horse blinders takes skill. The best developers are ex-QA engineers.)

Good QA is much more difficult than dev. If you got that down good, dev will be cake by comparison.

No, the wireless chipset is most frequently on a card or sometimes soldered somewhere else on the board.

100% yep.

The media seems to have no standard on using terms and switches them willy-nilly to net the better headline.

So is typing in your passphrase while out in public around cameras. Might as well just not use the phone.

Just familiarize yourself with your phone's lockdown mode so it's muscle memory.

I really wonder what a rebooted from scratch ethical police force would look like. A force with honor and integrity and all those words they print on the side of the cars. A respected, well-paid job.

You know, something like what they show on every TV program airing on CBS, but real.

Hey, it has a barometric pressure sensor, that's cool. OG Galaxy Watch had one, then the WearOS replacements got rid of it.

Galaxy isn't very good on updates either. Haven't seen one on the Watch 5 Pro in a year.
