Not really a work around, but you could get a VOIP number from MySudo or Hushed or a similar service and use that to sign up for Signal. Might at least be more private if you go about it with like a prepaid card and temp email or something.

Doritos Mac and cheese bites and Pringles Tortillas.

Thumbkey, Samsung built in when I need a gif.

The ‘nothing to hide’ argument seems a lot like that ‘first they came for socialists and I did not speak out, because I was not a socialist…’ quote. Sure you have nothing to hide right now, but what happens when something you weren’t hiding becomes a target.

But he was the best Doctor Who companion.

I used it for songs that weren’t on Tidal when I transferred playlists from Spotify. I found quite afew that I liked that Tidal didn’t have. Now that that’s gone I’ve moved to Deezer and am filling out my Plex server separately.

I don’t know what kinds of packets WiFi calling sends, but I would assume a public IP would be in there somewhere and, at least from a law enforcement perspective I can’t imagine it would be too hard to get the address tied to it.

For me, I use gift cards I receive as a test of the person that gave it. Someone I consider a collegue but not friend giving me a gift card to a place I like instantly makes me think they value me more than I thought. Person I consider a friend gives me a gift card instead of a gift, depending on the occasion, makes me think they like me, but can’t be bothered to put too much effort in, or are just doing because they feel obligated.

The only ones I’ve seen expire in the US are the VISA ones but those are basically debit cards.

It’s the US, so dental isn’t included

Sceptre has Non smart TVs. May be the only ones left to be honest

The category was “harmful or dangerous content” and reason was “violates ToS”

I might call the non-emergency line for things, like if my car was stolen or house broken into. I think the only time I’d call the emergency line is if I felt actively in danger.

Calling the police is a lot like firearm training, never call them on something you don’t intend to kill.

I’d be more interested in allowing more than one Android device at a time like MySudo. They let you link Windows with a phone so I wouldn’t think it would be too hard to implement.

I hate the settings app so much that I’ve just learned the powershell commands for setting up printers and changing NIC settings. Honestly it wouldn’t be as bad if a. It didn’t take forever to load on occasion and b. I could have two settings windows open at once.

It’s so hard to find settings there that jumping between network center and add device is not intuitive. If they remove control panel from servers too I might quite my msp job and go work at a grocery store.

The annoying thing is that even without it connected to the internet, it’s still slowed down by the OS. I did the same and it’s still not as responsive to things like switching inputs as the projector I was using before it.

Would love an OSM map that had surveilance camera locations listed. Looked on organic maps, but that’s not an option to place.

Seems like it’s a backend change and they’re removing per creation entirely. Got an email from one of the creators I follow about getting suggestions on how to restructure their tiers for the new system. My guess is it would be tricky to setup a way to have creators do android/web tiers and apple tiers, not to mention confusing. And of course they can’t just pull a Spotify and have a pop-up that says ‘sorry you must use the web to subscribe’ on iPhones.

I do basically that, but with aSamsung tablet, then my phone can be for phone things, calls, messages, emails. Then if I’m out and about and need to check my bank, mobile hotspot to my phone and go from there.

I’m not sure if it would work with how they do user updates, but I’m waiting for someone to make a version of Waze that runs on openstreetmaps. I.E. temporary updates like ‘car stopped here’ ‘cop parked there’ ‘lane closed ahead’

It seems like the functionality is already there for it, but they’d have to distinguish them from the long term updates like ’ this is a business at this address with these hours’ that presumably won’t change by the next day.
