"Linux is only available on the latest Pixel devices running Android 15"

...or just sideload Termux on whatever phone you like and be done with google's nonsense.

> Libreoffice is a piece of shit

No, it isn't. I use it every day. It's sufficient for what I need.

Nothing. MS don't want you to change them. Only defaults from now on.

Do you just pre-install annoying "ai assistant" app, and can call it "AI PC"? How far this AI nonsense can go?

> if there is a button that people have to push to send the report, they will happily push it.

I'd happily slam that button everytime someone overtakes me in the town. Especially around school. Speed limits are for a reason - if you disagree with a limit in specific place, take it to your representative. There is no excuse to endanger other road users.

> the pilots absolutely aren't allowed to set the auto-pilot and go to sleep

Acchshuallly... They can, not both at the same time ofcourse and it all depends on the length of flight and the company. Mentour Pilot on YT did an episode on sleeping on long haul flights.

Wanna take it to the court? Can't afford it? That's what I thought...

Corporations need more governement oversight and legal limitations, otherwise they will do what they want with people.

It's really useful only for that. And for turning the TV off if kids hid the remote to watch cartoons longer...

Can you reproduce the artwork 1:1 in a digitial form from your brain?

Same here. I moved to Microsoft after Google started sending threatening reminders. I do have to pay up but they provide service which has more value for a family (unlike G-Suite which was geared towards small/medium businesses). No regrets. With amount of storage I got in the family plan I was able to ditch AWS S3 as a backup solution.

Absolutely this! Last thing I want is to be forced to take my eyes off the road just to change volume. "Only touch" controls should be illegal.

It would be infuriating, if I'd have to use this parody of a OS. But I don't.

What's the point of service like that? I don't get it.. Is it to fill the market gap for consumers who are not in position to get a credit card but want to buy stuff which they can't afford?

Of course it will work. Just not as advertised. Any form of "free money" to everyone will have only one results: all prices will rise. This gives the government a tool to keep control over a citizen. If someone falls outside of the system, they won't be able to satisfy even most basic needs. It's like chinese social score system, but with money instead of points.

Back when I was still on Windows 10 I used to block all ms update websites using pi-hole. That's the easiest way and works on all devices in the network. You can then easily decide when you want to update, backup everything, open pi-hole and allow Windows to run the update. At least it gives you some level of control.
