Me too…but just to be safe I spent too much of my free time typing up a response.

No the government should not stay out of it.

How does this make any sense “if you, or anyone you know, has ever bought our taxi, you can not sue when our driver hits you”?

“Buyer beware” is not an argument when this shit is buried in pages of dence leagle documents or in some case never presented to the end user (in the case of a things like appliance delivery, where the buyer never sees the documents included). Do you expect me to hire a lawyer to buy a washer machine, or to sign up for a free Disney+ trail? Speaking of Disney, how about that “allergy friendly” restuant that killed someone with allergies. Theae forced arbitration clauses are letting companies people get away with wrongful deaths.

implied warranty of merchantability If the restaurant says their food does not contain an ingredient and they say the food prep is craefully done to ensure no cords contamination and someone dies because the ingredient was in the food - there’s a problem and justice needs to be upheld.

Being a rebublicans or wanting “small goverment” has nothing to do with this. Yes too much gov intervention is bad, but with out it we’d still be eating rats in our hamburgers.

Don’t bring abritarty sides into a problem when people are dying and no one is getting held accountable.

So there will be at least a partial refund right? Of course not.

This is like selling someone a birthday cake and after they have a few slices you scrape of the remaining frosting and suck out the moisture.

IMO juicebox should be responsible for 25-50% refunds for taking away the web features, depending on how much more it cost than similar products without the features. The charger it self still work, so I don’t think a 100% refund should be required.

Alternatively, they can (preferably) release the software under an open source license or sell the service to another company who is forced to match whatever the subscription cost is for at least 7 years.

Edit: I just read a comment on the article, I take back what I said, 100% refund + plus cost for an elecrrition to rip this shit out peoples homes.

your charger can potentially deliver more power than the branch circuit to which it is attached (i.e. if you have a 48 amp charger on a 40 amp circuit) you need to use the software to derate the charger so that it limits charging to an amount valid for your circuit.

That should not be a software switch…

It the governments job to uphold the constitution and protect our right, they are failing by allowing corporations bypass the highest laws of the land with a fucking nonnegotiable hundred page terms & conditions document.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

- every United States President

without realizing access was only granted through a temporary license.

That phrasing has me concerend. Does this also cover the services being shut down?

“This is a permanent licence until we go bankrupt and you can’t access the content anymore”

Purchase/buy should mean you get a downloadable DRM free file. And thing else is a rental.

Got my pixel direct, the unlock for me was greyed until I connected to WiFi. Other than that, I didn’t have to sign into anything and immediately put graphine on it.

Re-reading my comment, I see what happened. I didn’t specify “RCS on iOS…”, assuming it would be implied based on the thread topic. I have made the edits.

From the way article is worded, I thought maybe they finally added schedule send for imessages, but somehow excluded it from RCS messages.

“RCS chats are still missing many features Apple bakes in for iMessage conversations, like being able to schedule messages to send later”

The nice thing about SMS is its on everyone’s phone by default.

No apps to download and no accounts to make. Adding someone is a simple 9 digit number.

imessage bridged the gap between bacsic SMS and feature-rich messages. With them both being in one app and handled automatically, it is very convenient to use. While the extra features are limited to apple phones, you can use imessage to universally message any other phone.

Google made a their own thing, RCS, to compete with imessage. They made it an open RCS is a standard and worked that works with carriers to make it so any phone could use it. it took Apple 7 years since release to add support.

Finally, you can text pretty much anyone with a smart phone a message with the “extra features” without hassle.

You can’t schedule RCS messages on ios?

A basic features that has been around since the beginning of time is not included?

This sounds like a neat concept.

It’ll probably end up full of spam, bots and marketed b.s after a year, but it’ll be cool at first.

There’s a lot terrible articles with clickbate titles too. A lot of the articles I’m interested reading are either clickbate/ragebait or way out of context or just completely false.

I hope that’s a good thing…

Good luck. It is a bit weird getting setup at first with the way they do profiles, but once its set you dont have to think about it if you need to make a new alarm.

“Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers” also known as AMDroid Alarm clock.

Yes it can shuffle music.

Downsides; Not FoSS and not free, however it is a cheap one time purchase, no subscriptions. free version ads are just unobtrusive banners. I have Netgaurd blocking WiFi and cell with no issues.

Features: (no idea what’s paid and not)

• Incredibly customizable, I never knew there could be so many alarm options - but there are.
• you can make different alarm profiles, so you only have to set up each “type” of alarm you want once. From there, you just set a time and pick a profile with your settings. Everything from this point on is profile specific.
• pick any sounds on device (or a folder for random picks), set volume, vibrate, ingnore do not disturb, ignore headphones plugged in, etc.
• Calandar integration. If you have a schedule that varies, you can set it up to follow that instead of set-days and times.
• One time skip and one time adjust buttons. Need to wake up an hour early one day, got tomorrow off? Just use these to make the adjustment, next day the alarm will back to normal.
• optional post alarm “are you awake?” notifications. Dismiss the alarm but fell back asleep? After a few minutes (user set time) it will ask if your awake. With no response, after some time the alarm will go again. (With a different sound or volume if you like)
• snooze timmer can decrease each time you use it. First snooze 10 min, next is 8, then 6 and so on.
• various optional challenges that I don’t use. Easy things like type out this text, to the WiFi signal must be higher than X (go stand next your router to shut off alarm).
• location based settings - for example, morning alarms only go off at hone, break alarms only go off at work.
• the list continues for some time, but I’ll stop here.

NetGaurd.

Others have said it, I’ll say it again.

It gives seperate control over WiFi and cell. So for example my weather widget won’t update in background over cell, but on WiFi it can update all day.

Only downside is it takes up your 1 VPN “slot”, which might be a bad thing if you a vpn.

Well thats a suprise. Being google I just assumed they intercept everything for data mining.

Here’s my 5

• stop spying on me
• Bring back controlling the color of my contacts.
• stop selling my data
• end to end encryption
• a desktop app that stays signed in (the browser is nice, but having a dedicated app would be cool)

It looks like this this has a more usable start menu than windows.

To clarify for anyone curious about the drama, while it was blown out of proportion, it was absolutly vaild.

1. there was a light nsfw furry easter egg, removed once found. Considering the browser was originally a side project by a young guy (teen/early 20?) it’s not really surprising or a big deal. Once the browser gained a sudden boost in users and it was found, the image was removed (once the guy got back from vacation? hospital?, there was a month or two gap)

2. this one was a larger problem for sure, and again removed. If I reacll right, he was apparently hosting a website for a friend about supporting the end of a certain procedure done to baby males at birth. There were some graphic images, its not technically CP anymore than the infomus Nirvana cover, but still…not okay.

To make matters worse, the link the site was somewhere browsers home or about page, making it pretty easy for anyone to find.

It’s all old news now. Personally I didn’t really care, but some people might.
