Hmm your comment got me thinking.. perhaps the extra weight of all those integrity checks and redundant storage modules was too much for the A400 to handle...

maybe those engineers did their job too well...

It's hard to think with all the tinfoil i gotta wear these days.

I'm no lawyer but it's probably not a crime to carry plastic space weapons in the USA.

How about teaching "educators" such as that simple principal to recognize basic Constitutional rights, eg. freedom to bear arms? Or did they repeal that in Massachewiesetts? And if you can't carry guns'n'shit WHY would anybody want to live there?

Non-technical people don't need to run custom roms either. Buyers of LG's G2 got what they paid for and probably inspected it first in most cases. I'm quite certain there was no Lollipop at that time so there was no reason to expect Lollipop years later.
That leaves the technically informed who run custom roms. They knew better. It's a problem that solves itself: ignorants keep buying LG, not knowing any better and no worse for it; technophiles learn a lesson and move on to better options next time.

Or just realize that idiots who buy carrier-polluted devices deserve the shit they end up with. We have bazillions of bootloader- and carrier-unlocked phones to choose from, from cheap Nexuses and Onepluses to Moto G's and more. There's no reason to get an iPhone or LG or Samsung these days.

You either consent to wifi passwords etc being backed up or they don't get sent to Google afaik. It's during initial setup of Google services. If you chose it, your fault for not reading some extremely well labelled checkboxes and plain text descriptions.

I think the theory behind that shit is, if you've already got infected by Windows, what's a little more malware gonna hurt?

With the amount of potential information mining that could be done with these apps, I'm surprised they aren't all cross-platform.

You'd be surprised how little malware is truly cross-platform.

apt-get remove --purge safari

Should do the trick. I can guarantee no autoplaying video adverts and other nuisances if you don't have the root problem installed.

I'm no lawyer but pretty sure it's ok to upload if you're using the cloud as backup. It's the cloud. What could be wrong with that?

sad if it's true, but G is known for their two fetishes: user experience, tempered/trumped by making money. therefore twitting our search results is probably a sad joke.

Tried to confirm, apt-get install putty grabbed a good binary. Checksums match. This article is blowing smoke.

They are due for being disbarred.

...and disabled. I bet Tonya Harding could use the dough.

Or Daemon (2006). Each book in the trilogy improves on its predecessor.

They started by blocking all US Gov't web properties. LOL.

You'd have a massive revolt if Adblock were to be pulled or disabled. Not gonna happen. Hopefully this move will increase the snr among competitive categories like Youtube downloaders (about 54000 fake pieces of crap and 3 good working addons) etc.
