Comment Perot, Romney, and a Ninja Turtle (Score 1) 187
R. Edward "Ted" Cruz and N. Nikki Haley are as legitimate as H. Ross Perot and W. Mitt Romney. But then again, if Cruz's first name is Rafael, that makes him a Ninja Turtle's namesake.

Google Play Services on Android required a Gmail account prior to about 2012. Logging in with a Google Account at a non-Gmail domain produced an error message "user@example.com does not use Gmail" with an offer to create a new Gmail account. Since Android Market was renamed to Google Play Store, any Google Account has been usable, even Google Accounts associated with a non-Gmail address.
Nor do the alleged "lazy computer users of today" have to endure "Sorry, this application isn't available for your device's operating system yet" while waiting for the application to become popular enough for the application's publisher to make five different versions for five different operating systems.
In the alternative: How common is it for people to carry both an Android-powered phone to run native apps from Google Play Store and an iPhone to run native apps from Apple's App Store?
She should. The overwhelmingly more common case is that she does not.
One of the things adults do subconsciously when speaking to babies is regulate their talking pattern to a very specific way of speaking.
And your citation is where?
Follow citations from any article about "baby talk", "motherese", or "caregiver language". Start with this list of references.
I think the smart component and whatever data mining and propaganda it contains - or whatever additional digital purchases they expect the customers to make during the lifetime of it - are subsidizing that thing.
Bingo. Netflix and Disney pay TV makers kickbacks to preinstall their apps in expectation of future subscription revenue. Another kickback is the requirement that subscription apps process payments through the Internet-connected TV OS publisher's payment processor, at a substantially higher rake than the 3% of PayPal or Stripe. A third is the requirement that subscription apps provide some percent of ad inventory on ad-supported apps to the OS publisher at no charge, which I'm pretty sure is why the ad-supported tier of Disney+ is unavailable on Roku TV.
Remember all events that happened there while the TV was off. Didn't everyone's eyes constantly flicked to and from that screen, because it was the most prominent thing in the room? And constantly suggesting itself to be turned on? Or was it on all the time anyway, and everyone's conversation was against, instead or towards whatever happened on the screen?
In cases I've seen, the larger TV replaced a smaller TV below a wall of framed photos of family members.
So what size screen should people be buying instead? Should people choose their furniture by how easy it is to move across the floor to reconfigure a room between normal use and movie night?
Unlike me, many of my audience are Apple users, as are many of Spotify's customers.
And then denigrate Apple users?
That was never my intent. My intent was that even if I personally am not an Apple user, I have a good reason to cater to the needs of Apple users, in particular because they make up much of my audience.
Maybe using OBS to screencast to another system would work?
What display would be connected to the system receiving the screencast? Remember that we seek to avoid Internet-connected displays, such as Roku TV, because of arbitration clauses and other shenanigans that the publishers of operating systems of Internet-connected displays are pulling.
Last I checked, only Finder and iTunes software could take a backup from an iPhone or iPad, and Finder was exclusive to macOS and iTunes to Windows. This means backing up an iPhone to anything but a MacBook requires rebooting into Windows and waiting for Windows to complete its own updates. Is that still the case in 2024?
Or, if she has a Mac (which she should), she can one-click back up her ENTIRE phone to that through USB, and from there, backup her Mac using Apple's built-in Time Machine Automatic Backup to either an inexpensive External Drive, a NAS, or another Cloud Service. None of which involves giving Apple even 1 AUD.
Other than the 1000 AUD for buying the Mac in the first place.
Find your nearest Apple Store
I just checked apple.com, and the nearest Apple Store is 90.9 miles away. Not only is this much too far for a bicycle trip, but it'd also be a crime to use a bicycle on an interstate highway. Is there some sort of franchised Appls store, and if so, what is it called so I can use DuckDuckGo to find it?
MMS works on Android too. Group texting is an MMS feature. There may be other features enabled within the walled garden but including more than one person in a group is not it.
Others on Slashdot have told me that one such feature that iMessage has and MMS lacks is adequate resolution for photos and videos. Another is being able to enter the chat in the first place to request that it be switched to MMS.
Instead of driving to the store, walk! Better for you.
And breathe exhaust from the cars on the highway you walk along for 4 km (2 and a half miles) each way to and from the store. And risk getting hit by a car on the way there or back because sidewalks are inadequate. And risk your frozen veggies and chicken thawing.
- buy NO operating system for Internet-connected TVs, i.e. you buy no Internet-connected TV [...] a "dumb" display will be usable - and useful - for a a lot longer.
I agree with this angle. However, I haven't been able to find living-room-sized dumb displays in stores anymore. It's either a desktop-sized computer monitor or a living-room-sized Internet-connected TV.
"How to go forward without Google TV and Apple TV?"
No content on these TV services is worth your time
My point appears to have missed you; sorry. Once I have given up Google and Apple products, I may no longer buy an Android-powered phone or an iPhone.
It's never been explained to me the difference between the alleged "deep state" and the federal civil service. The Pendleton Act of 1883 shifted the civil service from a "spoils system," where the incoming administration conventionally fires everyone appointed by the opposite party, to one based on merit. This caused the civil service to gain the same sort of institutional memory as any other group of people that survives changes in leadership. Is that all "deep state" means, or is there more than that?
