I was already an adult when T9 was still a thing and never texted like this. I could write out full sentences while my phone was still in my pocket.

If you do this, I would be fully prepared to lose access to all your Google services along with anyone else who may use Google services on the same IP. Gmail, Play store, Chrome, etc, etc can easily be wiped out with a ban from Google and this can seriously fuck people's day up if they've used Gmail and have 2FA setup on any external account.

And if they do skimp on maintenance and upgrades and the plant melts down, we can be assured that no harm will come to the company because the scale of the disaster would wipe them out and they're "too big to fail."

Our tariffs aren't there to protect local brands they protect every foreign brand in the US too which make up 2/3 of the market.

Bruh, you're literally defending a country who just made a bunch of people unwitting suicide bombers in a foreign country and injured thousands for political purposes. This is terrorism

AliExpress clone but you can only use it after installing their app on your phone.

If they had something better, don't you think they'd be putting it out front and center? This is akin to all those conspiracy theorists claiming they have proof to back their claims but they just can't show it to you right now but it's definitely coming at some indeterminate time in the future.

Yet another example of doing crime at a big enough scale that you get rewarded for it. That's what this country was built on.

How about current IPhone users who have nothing but lightning cables and decide to upgrade to the new USB-C model?

And then you'll buy the phone but the screen is sold separately.

People want to say we own the device so we should be able to do whatever we want, but blatantly allowing people to install cracked apps with keyloggers onto their phones unintentionally will get them sued, and ultimately hurt how many people stay using their products.

Imagine every user and password with the site listed was suddenly just accessible by everyone. It would be a hellscape of credit card companies trying to stop accounts because you order 18 pizzas off the dominos app in Georgia, and another 13 sandwiches in the burger king app at the same time in Jersey.

We need to have the freedom to load apps we trust, but if you look at the standard user base, that's who they have to make the phones for.

It has been 16 years since Android came on the scene. Why do you think that these things are going to become such a big issue now in 2024 and beyond?

I'd also argue that your WPM typed on a keyboard doesn't make you tech-savvy either. 1950s secretaries could type fast on a typewriter and that didn't make them tech savvy either.
