What clues are there in they syncwire listing that made you think that it's made from tinsel wire. I'm just asking for future use.

If you watch the video, he compares it with one of his own videos that got 200k views.

Its ad revenue was only $500. And he says its just him producing and editing and doing everything.

There is something there: $500 isn't enough to cover even 1 part time employee...so how are they plugging their finances? External funding by vested interests?

So try talking to the dealer.

It helps if you live in an urban area with lots of options, but many manufacturers would simply say no. I found a few who were willing to help

An Audi dealer said they can't disconnect the stuff, but there is an airplane mode you can use. I didn't trust that.

But I found a Honda dealer and a Nissan dealer who were willing to help. They both gave me detailed descriptions on what they were oging to do, what featuers I would lose, etc etc.

If this is about the Macklemore incident, he started off by saying that he isn't a victim and neither is Ed (apparently his friend for a long time). The victims are the Palestinian people.

As to why make statements on "controversial stuff?" How else can you be an agent of change? What's the alternative, to see mass slaughter going on funded by your taxes and stay quiet?

If this is about some other incident, then I don't know, but I think you've misread the Macklemore case (if it is about that)

So the current Flickr image I see...it looks to be the wrong resolution. It's a 4:3 image that gets stretched out on the desktop and the result isn't good.

The iamges on Flickr whenever I've looked at it as a source, are always disappointing.

I can't seem to access any of your links.

Keep android open leads to dead github page; and I'm getting an "Access denied" error for gadgets360.com

Your latter point is something I've been considering for a while; VPN really won't protect me if a 3 letter agency is after me.

It is merely an attempt to obscure myself from ISP and it's tracking.

So even though I'm not fully sold on Windscribe, that's why I'm kind of leaning towards it.

What's Henessay? An online search and the top hits aren't what I think you're referring to.

I'll give that link a shot. I installed Obtanium for the first time, and tried adding their installation link (maybe not that one, I don't remember what I tried adding), but I couldn't get it to wokr.

But maaaan, their android client looks so amateurish. I mean it's fine as long as it works, but as an ad for your company...this isn't it.

I tried adding their client via Obtanium, it didn't work.

But man, that client looks so outdated. It looks like a kid's idea of a website.

In defense of Graphene for the first point:

Graphene has a pin scrambler, so the numbers are in a different position everytime you have to enter them.

It isn't hard at all to get used to it, and it circumvents the pattern recognition bit.

Fingerprint unlock...that's a different discussion especially with biometrics not being protected under the law, but for first unlock you always have to enter in a pin

Quickly looking at my phone, you can enter in a passphrase (though personally I think that's too cumbersome). There's also a swipe option, I THINK that might be pattern, but I'm not sure. I can't test it, because it means deleting the already in place measures, and I don't wnat to do that at the moment.

I don't know enough about other points to comment on it.

I'm running Endeavour OS. Interestingly I just did a fresh install on a machine the other day, but again, I don't see the theme anywhere.

Some first reaction feedback:

It's good but there are two things taht I don't like.

1.) It uses Breeze system tray icons that I am not a fan of at all; they look very outdated, not fun, boring, and its a smidge hard to get information out of them.

2.) Again in Dolphin, it uses the Breeze icons in the Places tab. I really don't like those minimal icons; there's no fun pop color, while at the same time looking modern (ala Kora).

Just to give you an idea of what I mean by non-perfect icons.

I think the overall culprit in Plasma, and as evidenced here, is that I feel Breeze is a really bad icon theme. And a lot of people use that as a starting point...which leads to unsatisfactory results.
