Comment Re: I'm so glad the government makes me safe. (Score 2) 116

It's fucking organised crime.. and so yes, the government does need to step in to sort it out. Also, there were a number of petitions signed by a bunch of people sent to Uk parliament asking them to sort it out.. This might not be the final fix, and banks are protesting, because 'fraud will increase' and they will need to cover that.. but this shit is out of control and it needs to start somewhere..

I am a 3rd world minority.. but I picked myself up by the bootstraps, worked long and hard to make enough money to get an iPhone and it lasted me years and years and years.. turns out the higher price upfront was more than worth it over time. All my fellow 3rd worlders with their cracked screens and 'free open platform' though.. probably not as much ROI..

If you block your kids from these platforms, they just get ridiculed and bullied by their peers for not having a Snap, TikTok etc. So your kids are damned either way. Society needs to change. We know alcohol is bad for kids and we have laws to protect them from it. Same thing should happen with this.

Looks like the App has been removed from the App Store too. I had a monthly subscription that has also disappeared... guess I won't be reinstating that if this shit show manages to reverse itself. I was spending too much time on that platform anyway.. it's all become filled with American politics and hate anyway.. guess a break will be good..

Comparison with S24 Ultra Single-core performance: The A17 Pro leads by a substantial marginâ"roughly 35â"40%, which directly impacts general tasks, app responsiveness, and user-perceived snappiness. â Multi-core performance: The A17 Pro still holds an edge of around ~10%, though the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is strong in workloads that can efficiently use its eight cores. â Graphics & AI: A17 Proâ(TM)s custom GPU supports advanced features like ray-tracing. Its NPU delivers top-tier AI performance (35 TOPS), giving it a clear advantage in machine learning workloads and energy-efficient AI processing. â Process and Efficiency: The A17 Pro uses a first-gen 3 nm node, likely offering better efficiency and thermal control compared to the Snapdragonâ(TM)s 4 nm design.
