Given the kitsch look I think USA "envisioned" products these days are a hard pass. The phone looks like the kind of cheap trinket you'd buy at a Marrakesh market for someone who tells you it's 100 dirham but when you go to pay claims you agreed to pay 100 euros.
Except that market stall owner has more integrity and is more trustworthy than Trump.
Of course Donald Trump is trustworthy. He tried his best, but ultimately he was hamstrung by HUSSEIN Obama destroying manufacturing in this country by selling out to China using Hunter's laptop. There was a plan for Biden to fix this but he fell asleep. It was all there in Hillary's emails. The dumbocrats have destroyed the country. Also did you know how smart Donald Trump is? Apparently most people don't even know dumb has a b on the end. Trump did. He pointed it out. The man's genius has no bounds and you criticising him makes you a horrible person piggy.
My dad bought monster cables. He wasn't getting his money back so I kept my opinion to myself.
We have ample evidence that expectation bias translates the use of high end cables directly into a perception of improved audio quality.
In many ways this is no different. Drawing a flag and the word Trump on a Chinese device gives the perception of American made quality. The question isn't one for your dad though. The question is for someone else, the people who *HAVEN'T* yet bought the phone need to have the fraud pointed out. Just like you wouldn't recommend to your friend to buy monster cables even though you're fine with not criticising your dad as your advice came too late.
Don't leave it too late out of complacency. This should be news.
It's good and everyone should do it, but it's worth noting that PiHole isn't the be-all and end-all of solutions. There's a significant portion of ad content that needs to be blocked dynamically based on page rendering rulesets which PiHole simply doesn't catch. A proper browser plugin is still a must.
That said PiHole is a godsend for locked down Android devices on the network which don't benefit from any simple adblocking.
I'd love to know how the next Chrome update is going to kill the ad block running as my network's DNS host.
DNS is nice and all, but if you're not running an adblocker that can intercept webrequests in flight you're not running a good adblocker period. DNS holing (while a good idea in general, and one I do too) is just pathetic in comparison to a proper browser based blocking feature.
I'd similarly love to know how the next Chrome update is going to do fuck-all to the plugins I have running in Firefox / Zen.
There's nothing popular about the adblockers running in an unpopular browser. The headline excludes you buttercup, but your main character syndrome aside for a moment.
What a stupid fucking "headline."
What a stupid fucking "post" you made.
When Firefox stops locking up from doing something as mindblowingly complex as scrolling through reddit maybe I'll reconsider it. I can look past the other issues, like the slow rendering of some pages, but I soured on it a few years ago due to breaking bugs, and bugs which are Mozilla's fault, not the fault of web developers.
Maybe when they are finished with looking at shoehorning pocket and VPNs, and AI into their browser they can actually start fixing some bugs for a change.
It's closed source spyware. Why is anyone still using it?
Why not?
Chromium is open source spyware (including no longer supporting V2 adblocking). Vivaldi is just a Chrome skin with little meaningful change (including no longer supporting V2 adblocking). Opera is just Chinese spyware. Brave claims to be for the users but has a history of fucking them over especially with affiliate redirects. Edge is
Lynx still seems to be a good privacy focused choice but doesn't support nice modern features like displaying images.
At this point the question is only what condiments are you serving with your shit sandwich.
But let's see if they follow Google/Chrome with this. I don't expect the creators of Vivaldi to do this though.
Why would you not expect it? The upstream code support for V2 is being removed. It's not some flag that can be set. Vivaldi will have to actively fork and proceed to fully maintain the code base going forward, without incorporating these upstream changes. This kind of thing can quickly lead to breaking bugs.
But in any case you don't need to expect anything. Vivaldi creators have been open about this and...
So if ad-blocking remains part of your (personal) core, you should want to replace your Chrome browser for Vivaldi.
unfortunately
We will keep Manifest v2 for as long as it’s still available in Chromium.

The adblockers work just dandy with Firefox.
Yeah but then you're using Firefox, which has distain for users in a whole different set of ways, not the least of which is an endless focus on everything except for fixing bugs.
Did it? When you consider Switzerland is 15% non-white, it's very likely that a majority of white Swiss probably voted against it.
Non-white has zero to do with being an immigrant or not. Your assumption shows some real racist bias in your understanding of national demographics.
if you ever engage with her again just ask to see where she gets her information from.
Or just punch her and tell her it can't be a crime because in her reality you're not an immigrant and thus don't count in crime stats.
Where do you think their activity will migrate to?

Nah fuck it I'm going to spraypaint a corner store and steal some old lady's handbag. It's really the only option without my phone. There's nothing else that we could be doing.
Free speech just died in Britain. Sad.
Something has to exist for it to die. Britain never had free speech as an absolute right.
Starmer has clearly given up on the youth vote and is now trying to appeal to the Boomers.
I don't think a few 18 year olds are going to sway the vote in any meaningful way as much as an entire generation of boomers will. But really is this appealing to boomers? In what way? I thought it would be appealing to boomers to have kids distracted and not annoying them.
If you're still on a Roku, buy a Shield.
Roku is more than a little dongle you plug into a TV. They offer subscription management systems, a whole TV channel, they have apps for streaming and are often pre-installed on TVs too. And while looking up how their subscription system worked I found out they have smart homes too, lightbulbs, doorbells, etc.
Not that I see value in any of this, but my point is that a Shield replaces only a tiny fraction of what Roku offers.
