I left Windows ~2-3 years ago since I got tired of having to keep up with ways to disable the MS account requirements or disable the ads every time there is a major version upgrade on a platform I use every day.

As long as I revert to the open source driver before doing major OS upgrades I haven't had issues either in years. Last time I tried AMD though it was a shit show.

It was a mistake, but he had every opportunity to prove he wasn't guilty of the thing we used as justification to mistakenly deport him. So really, it is kinda his fault. Oh and we can't get him back. Sorry bye. - ICE probably

The privacy conscious choice is to not use Plex at this point. It is only a matter of time before they start directly screwing with private library's.

More than likely it is Doze. https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby

Supposedly disabling battery restrictions on an app disables Doze, but in practice it doesn't seem to make much difference.

It has been a thing off and on with Android since Doze was introduced.

I just like being able to walk by the nightstand and have the phone "lock" to the charging pad when I lay it down.

In my car it is a lot more convenient than a charging cradle for being able to use turn by turn while driving.

Just remember, if his new administration has proven anything, it is that the difference between legal and illegal in the American political system is mostly down to everyone being willing to go along with that law. There is very little actual teeth behind a lot of it at the high up federal level.

So it might be unconstitutional for him to run again, but who is actually going stop him? He has more guns and more sycophants than the court system.

He wants to be talked about online and in the media. Same reason he did it in the first place.

Once a company becomes publicly traded it always gets worse. Once the shareholders are closer to the executive compensation packages than the customers/users it is all downhill. It is like clockwork.

Might take a year, might take 10, but the result is inevitable.

So they want to trade something that is almost always worth a lot for something that is sometimes worth a theoretical shitload or less than a loaf of bread, depending on the day?

Brilliant, very good. Nothing stupid will come of this I'm sure. /s

Did you read the article?

Guy is going to jail, the grave, or both. Guilty or not the state is not letting a little thing like police evidence tampering or innocence get in the way of him paying for the consequences being brought home to that CEO. Truth was publicly spoken to power, and someone has to pay for that in the states eyes.

 

Jesus, that is a gross way to inject advertising into turn-by-turn navigation.
