I refuse to believe that any data they harvest from gig workers will come close to covering their overhead costs, much less generate a profit.
I absolutely believe that the founders will make out like bandits before this is either acquired by a bigger dumber company, or shuttered.
Required means not optional... which both are....
Also, it's not unusual for a repo manager to request the ability to check for background updates, or send notifications....which again, are both optional.
So...a repo manager asks to notify you of updates, and check for them in the background...and that requires an essay long screed?
FYI I have battery optimizations enabled, and notifications disabled. App works great.
But whatever, I genuinely give no shits if you use it, or don't.
Use Droidify or Neo Store. Both are in F-Droid repo, and both are better IMO.
Standard Notes is not a replacement word processor, unless you're exclusively using Google Docs for notes.
It's also already freemium, and the free tier includes E2EE syncing.
...also because they're the highest earning tier of the upper middle class, and Cessna's are an extremely common manufacture with a lot of relatively low cost options.
Most of their customers are probably upper middle class types, very small regional airlines, and people who run charter businesses.
I'd assume that between the professional pilots, and the hobbyists, you'll find the former has lower crash rates.
It'd be more surprising if their was a lot of garbage men, or teachers, who crash Cessna's, or any plane.
I have a mix of smart and dumb TV's.
All of them show me the same number of ads: zero.
All of them have the same level of access to networks (LAN/WAN): none.
Worst offender is a legacy Roku that keeps up it's direct connect WiFi broadcast, but it's on its own isolated VLAN.
No, yes, maybe, but probably not.
Also, only do this if it's a passion project for learning, because the odds that it works out the gate, and doesn't require multiple repurchases, are very slim.
The odds that you never quite get it to work right, or at all, very high.
If you're sure you want to do this, start by reading the technical documentation to get a grasp of which parts might, or should, work together, and how. Do this before making any purchases.
If that doesn't sound appealing, then buy an "digital signage" or "enterprise/business class" TV, or find a dumb consumer TV, new or used.
I have both paid and accounts with Proton and I have no idea what you're talking about.
Yes, they make it clear they offer suite of services, and notify you of new services being launched, but my screen isn't saturated, and my workflow isn't negatively impacted.
...and they are nothing like Google in terms of self promotion, to say nothing of Google's business practices.
The irony here is that you're a cliche anti-Apple fanboy, and I don't even use Apple products.
So blinded by your dork rage, that you missed the entire point of this little comment thread.
What's even funnier, is that you also unintentionally proved mine.
It has nothing to do with congratulating.
You made a false statement, and then moved the goalpost (motte and bailey) when I pointed it out.
Simple as that.
Your honor I object.
She was only looking to defraud the bank of less than $4k USD.
Wheeling in her deceased uncle to a fucking bank branch is easily worth at least a $5k USD fraudulent loan.
I rest my my case.
