cws/disclaimers are good
censorship (including self-censlrship) is bad.

you just had to put one of the other fingers on the battery groumd and not push that hard iirc

the clock app has a built in spotify integration and player.
the calculator sends diagnostic data.

why is vscodium listed separately by the way, it’s literally built from exactly the same code as vscode, just without the proprietary licensing, ms branding and using openvsix extension gallery by default

i think it’s used for the performance testing feature in google meet n stuff like that…

I’d rather deal with scalpers than this monopolistic bullshit

yes, but most games aren’t.
there’s no reason to avoid good indie games just because they’re not foss, unless you’re a toxic fossbro or something

most games are not foss, and it makes sense.
(games are more like works of art ranter than software after all, so it just doesn’t matter)

obviously inside as putting it outside would make thieves job significantly easier.
you can still break a window to pull it if there’s an emergency like with basically all other cars

there’s a mechanical override inside the car, but from outside doors can only be opened via nfc or remotely irrc (not a real safety issue tho as the doors can still be opened by breaking the windows like in basically all other cars)

except it’s basically made useless by the fact that wifi/bt toggles don’t actually toggle off their respective radios, but just disconnect from the current network

altstore can also be a non-apple non-altstore ios store if you live in the eu and pay them a fee, and it added that as a feature wayyy before aptoide (like you can install altstore officially without using the altstore workaround)

altstore

yeah, factory reset protection, it wipes the user data, but will refuse to fully finish setting up the the os after the reset until the google acct is verified…

you can just use group policy for most windows deshittification needs

yeah but that invalidates the “better/cleaner search results” point since it’s well basically the same stuff, just without the tracking

it literally just proxies/aggregates google/bing search results tho?

it’s currently opt-in rather than opt-out, fully on-device and won’t work on devices with weak NPUs (or on any which completely lack it)
unless it changes in the future it’s not that bad at the moment tbh

privatbank has a similar feature in Ukraine, noone uses it lol
don’t get why anyone would ever want this, when you can just tap your phone w google pay

well apple cpus have a hardware flag which slightly changes side effects of some existing arm instructions AND completely changes the memory model to one that imitates Intel x86 for the current thread. (TSO)

with this flag enabled, the code can be almost fully recompiled ahead-of-time (from x86_64 to arm64) with minimal overhead (no need to remap memory addresses etc), with no reason to resort to e.g. jit recompilation on the fly (which is exactly what box64 does all the time)

i assume snapdragon and microsoft are doing a similar thing (it definitely involves some hw magic too, maybe not exactly the same as in apple) since it’s seemingly the only way to achieve parity with apple in terms of performance
