We don’t actually know that’s the case though.
The irony of this comment is painful.
While I get the sentiment, you can’t really fit a tablet in most pockets. While a tri fold phone would fit just fine.
This isn’t for situations where a more powerful device is needed. Power doesn’t matter when watching a video, or reading a book, or scrolling the internet. Sometimes you just need more screen.
I may be an outlier on Lemmy, but I explicitly want a decent trifold device. Specifically for the situations I listed. I’m not looking to use the tablet “mode” for performance hungry tasks, I just want more screen sometimes.
I’ll reply the same way I do to the scam attempts: Do it bitch.
Google has its own tdl now. Kinda fucked.
You can sideload up to three apps without a paid dev account, they just expire in 7 days. Use something like AltStore (or better yet SideStore) and you have an easy way to install and re-sign two other apps. They also have the ability to essentially “offload” apps so you can have more than two other sideloaded apps, but only two can be active at a time (other than the signing app)
Those don’t guarantee delivery. A known spam domain or IP, among a few other things, can also result in blocks.
Overly vague laws are never a good thing.
I kinda doubt you’d be able to write a law that would actually have the effect you’re looking for. In the case of what you just wrote, all YouTube would need to do is write into their ToS that by uploading to their platform you’ve given them explicit permission to alter the video for purposes of storage space or increasing/decreasing quality.
I’m down for a breakup but I don’t see how we could twist this into illegality.
There are a few ways I can think of, such as coming from the factory with en engineering firmware, or a third party (manufacturer) tool pushing the update.
There’s also the question of how M$ would have even got the engineering firmware to begin with. If it did indeed get released through windows update, was it the manufacturer that provided it? M$ can’t really be expected to vet every driver they are provided.
