The fuck all cops? Heck ya. The same people who say this run screaming for help to cops as soon as shit goes sideways. Makes me laugh.

You appear to have issues Mr. Fuck all cops. And you amuse me.

You know what will happen? I do. Apple will leave Europe

Want side loading? Buy android. That’s your choice.

Gaza gonna be gone permanently before this is over.

Love app stores pay to play and subscription models? Coming soon to every platform as fast as they can shove it down your throat.

Oh a homophobe. What a novel approach. Nobody has though of that before.

Go to any YouTube reviewer that’s paid by the click. There you go.

Someone who relies on sensationalism to drive clicks to his business is not trustworthy. Believe what you want.

Who cares what some doofus YouTuber thinks?

Look up Japanese Kintsubi - Repairing with gold.

It’s never going to be the same as before it was chipped, so accept that and make it better by making the damage part of the story beautifully.

Yup, they did a great job at driving away people who cared. Now they’re left with shitposters and spammers. The downside is they’ll still make a killing selling the free content everyone gave them to train AI models. But they’ll get no more from me.

I don’t want to wish misfortune on Spez, but i certainly don’t want to wish fortune on him either. What a colossal idiot.

Subs have dual hulls so they can fill the void between them with water to sink, or air to float, but they don’t dive anywhere near as deep. Most regular naval subs operate above 800 meters. They only have to be below the surface of the water for stealth, not at the bottom of the ocean.

This craft was a single hull design as far as I’m aware, designed with a rigid hull to try and counteract the pressure at the bottom.

Also when carbon fibre is used on other applications such as in planes and such. There is always something to be learned about failure modes which can be used to make future applications safer.

For instance, in this case where exactly did the failure point happen? Was it at at the bonding area, one of the end caps, or in the middle of the tube, etc.

I’ve been using PIA for years for my downloading purposes, as well as having a VPN when I travel. No issues at all and completely reliable. Don’t know if I’d trust them to leak state secrets, but not an issue because I don’t have any.

VPNs are one tool to help. They’re not the end-all-be-all. If the VPN provider is reliable, they can protect your IP address and keep your internet link more secure if using public network facilities (wifi or cellular) as the VPN tunnel is (should be) encrypted.

That said, if you are using software that fails to protect your user information by defect or by design, it can still leak data at the endpoint you are using, even though your connection is (hopefully) more secure.

The government really has no business dictating how manufacturers design their products. If people don’t like phones without user-replaceable batteries, they won’t buy them, will they?

The days of replacing empty phone batteries rather than recharging them are long-dead. I agree that replacing a modern smartphone battery, even in a sealed unit is stupid-easy. With the proper instructions and tools, my mom could do it quite easily. I’ve done it myself and it was at most a 15 minute job.
