I’m w/ you on this assuming the question is: “Who needs it on their phone.” It’s the “on their phone” part that matters. It’s like…Who needs a can opener? Most people. Who needs a can opener on their phone? Not many people. The bigger problem being the can opener wouldn’t be as good as the standard tool & the price of the phone would increase. If I wanted/needed a thermal camera I would prefer to buy a dedicated device w/ high performance sensors.

It’s more Futurama!

This has been my experience too. A random party w/ friends that rages until the next morning after 2 months of silence? Sorry, didn’t mean to be that loud. We’ll keep it down next time, let you know in advance, & even extend an invite. An every 3rd day blasting of music at whatever hour? Fuck you, I pay rent, I don’t care if it bothers you.

Ah yes, the 'I singlehandedly thought it was the expected result" explanation. If true, still not helpful.

Sounds like capitalism in its best form.

All I remember is he’s the original buyer of the “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” album by Wu-Tang for $2MM. I hope he never took a moment to listen to it before it was forfeitted on his behalf by the US government.

I continue to wonder if this is a bug or a feature. With each passing example it seems more & more like the latter?

Wow! Just, wow. Such a detailed & complete database of interesting knowledge that I fully appreciate, but will never use. I commend you in the highest form.

Not Google bad. Google app bad. Expanding the statement from a specific app to an entire company is unnecessary & waters down the statement to an ideal. Ideals are fine & all, but they’re based on opinions rather than facts. There’s no reason to make the transition in this case.

But also, & more likely as suggested above, a Norm MacDonald joke. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljaP2etvDc4

Now make it legal to remove all profiteering by criminal organizations & you’ve got yourself a winning combination.

I mean, if said item makes it to the banana consumer then I’m OK w/ the plan.

After dealing w/ many Chinese suppliers in various industries I believe the blame falls on the OEM. If you ask for cheap garbage then you’ll get that. If you ask for tightly specified designs that are properly designed for the process at a reasonable price then you’ll get that.

A custom ROM? No. An unlocked bootloader, standard ROM, & custom kernel? Yes.

And they would have gotten away w/ it if it wasn’t for you meddling kids!

Nah, just YOLO & send it! Fuck around & find out is really entertaining for everyone except those that are impacted. The funny part is that those that are impacted are the same to those that voted. Oh no, wait, it’s sad. I’m sorry for confusing the situation.

If the argument is that swiping down twice is more difficult than swiping up once, then I agree. If the argument is that swiping up once should be reserved for system toggles, then I disagree. I believe it’s a question of properties, not capability, when it comes to Android’s decision.

But, like, you can do something similar by pulling down twice. That screen can be configured to show almost any toggle. Different actions, similar results. Is it the actions you don’t like?

I wish them all the best, together, on a sinking platform w/ no life vests. Leverage one another for an even faster downfall.

This is a topic I could see having enough ammo to debate either side. It’s interesting, to say the least. To suggest the current model is helping news companies sustain & grow their business would be hard to argue so I welcome Canada’s efforts to change the game.
