My 20 year old spare camera has a better battery life than a new phone. I can also buy a spare battery and have it charging. Precision focus and target selection. ISO / shutter speed / aperture selection with a roll of the thumb or finger while keeping my subject in frame. Unlimited storage. Hands free operation. etc... etc... etc..

How about simple transfer from/to phone without having to connect to a third party. How about Ogg. What's good for the goose is not always good for the gander. When someone uses sheeple as an argument it shows they no longer have a point to make. Who cares what others are using. I care about my privacy and listening to the music and songs I paid for or created.

Digital organizers were and still aren't an issue. Your good one is not that great. Terrible, example. I no longer sleep with my phone in my room what with all the annoying alerts that you can't turn off.

Why do you need a travel alarm when the hotel telephone system has a wake up call feature?

Who would have though with all the people on the Internet that some would differ in opinion.

As these people were not absolutely right they were also not absolutely wrong. It's absolutely mind boggling to some that "smart" phones are getting even more frustrating to use.

You have this mindset that since it meets your needs then it should meet everyone's needs. Sorry, but I have yet to see a phone that can replace dedicated products. Smart phones do a lot of things good enough for average use but fail when you need precision.

I won't even get in the privacy issue.

Personally I feel they are Jack of all trades but master of none.

who thinks it's a good idea of wasting energy on something that is completely irrelevant. If the action is relevant then it should have been addressed when it happened to ensure what ever positive benefit the action had it would be repeated next time.

This is "busy work". Work that is created so you look like you are busy doing something.

Yeah the law is funny that way. So the pharmacist has to waste his time pulling down the posters on the message board while the rest of the shops in the mall have flashing advertisements.

The funny thing is that in some future time a similar case will be heard in front of another judge and we won't have the same decision.

Roads facilitate illegal things, maybe we should go after the pavers....

Yes. Unwillingly unfortunately. Thankfully it's not my main system.

It's not an "effective synchronized cloud storage service", it's a virus.

A service would ask to be activated. A service would ask what you wanted to synchronize. A service would ask what you wanted to delete. A service would assume the local copy that is currently the default location would remain the default main location unless specifically changed.

There is no magic. There should be no assumption. It should be explained prior to activation and only activated by the user.

Yes you are defending Microsoft because if any third party would activate such as service without your consent you would be screaming bloody murder. If you don't beleive me replace Microsoft with Logitech or UBlock origin or any other third party software you installed on your system.

when the information that was stolen cannot be changed. This should be a lifetime of free monitoring even after you move to a new insurance company.

Don't buy it or if when you receive it it requires an account send it back.

You are absolutely right. Every president should go after ever person who they believe wronged them. The main goal of a president should be vengeance.

How is that affordability coming along?

People don't care unless it slaps them in the face. Trump is running amok all over the constitution and people applaud. SCOTUS wants a king or dictator and the Epstein files are garnering the most attention just for the gossip. The senators and representatives are letting all this happen. They don't care because it doesn't affect them... now.

MAGA the oxymoron.

Some of the most expensive stuff is made of cheap junk. This is hurting American small business, but you be happy.

If you need accuracy then you shouldn't be using Excel especially if it's complex. It's just plain unmanageable. I've wasted too many hours fixing peoples errors to even begin explaining why here...

The gasoline tax was introduced to encourage the adoption of pollution free alternatives by building out the infrastructure that was required to charge these vehicles.

It has now transformed into a road building initiative and a possible tax loss. Before the gasoline tax, roads were built with the funds accumulated from income tax. Is this going to be refunded or are we going to continue funding projects that continue to have budget overruns?

This would cause me to contact a person at the company and get real help or never again part with my money when this company is part of the contract.

I have a list of companies that I will not purchase or use their products just because of the way they support the product.

It makes it sound as if there are issues with Signal and WhatsApp when the issue is the user being fooled. This applies to all Apps, not just those 2.
