I'm betting this is going to appear the same way as it does on Waze, which shows fast food logos along your route, as well as popup ads whenever you're stopped. Annoying, but not i…

Magisk fixes this problem, though. Most users I know who run custom ROMs also install Magisk to allow those apps to install and run without issue.

In my experience, the ads are only present at initial setup. Once you remove the shortcuts (and disable suggested apps), they don't show up again.

Is it? I didn't think Hyper-V allowed separated windows. The only resource I've found that does this effectively is X410.

I'm talking about the report from a few weeks ago banning top level government officials from using Huawei devices for personal use. At the time, they were considering banning them…

I'm so torn with how to see Huawei. The dealings with Iran seem pretty cut and dry, and the laws in China are impossible for Huawei to ignore. On the other hand, their consumer pro…

For those who don't know, Oath is Verizon.

Can't a password manager use the TPM to encrypt/decrypt the passwords in real time, a la Windows Hello?

Is there a chance that both are true, cause the weather here was pretty shitty on my way into work...

> But gender isn't inherently binary, even if many but not all cultures have tended to ascribe gender from a binary pallette. You say that, but based on what? It's not a construct …

For my Google Assistant, I've made it a point to select a male voice, and I always refer to it as the Google Assistant or just Assistant. The choice in voice gender was so that my …

I think you're heavily discounting the amount if actual labor involved in finding and getting into those magazines, schools, shows, and shops...

I think it'd be cheaper and less effective. The benefit for advertisers on Facebook is that the rate of click throughs is significantly higher than the more shotgun-style advertisi…

Where's the proof that this would increase the GDP?

Plus, this idea that 70% off the top 1% is still nowhere near enough to pay for any of this. The numbers I've read suggest that taxing 70% of the $10mil+ earners would amount to ar…

Or better yet, a service existed that paid per view. Microtransactions, for example, could pay per article read in a similar way to Medium's system (although it would be better if …

Not to mention how much of Medium is behind their paywall...

With Android Pie, users can just set the DNS to dns.adguard.com and be done with it at the DNS level. Works great on my Pixel so far (past couple months).

I rarely like or dislike anything, unless there's some significant reason to do either. The best example I can think of for when I've happily disliked something was the 2018 YouTub…

Spotify is the company best positioned to fix this, although I'm not sure they'll be able to. The real issue is that podcasts run on old backends like RSS, and there's no reason fo…

Man, I really wish this anti-GMO movement would stop and look at the science. Instead of just associating all GMO with risk, we need to conduct legitimate studies to determine what…

But they shouldn't. If there are people who want and like 75% of the videos I watch and like, I'd really prefer that YouTube avoid recommending me videos that those people have alr…

I don't even have the app installed, but I see similarly relevant stuff occasionally when I browse to FB, which tells me that there gathering enough knowledge Annie me from a pleth…

I hate these anecdotal stories and how they're used as absolute evidence that something like this is happening. Google would never allow the data from their back end recording to b…

The US also takes DNA and prints from arrestees and maintains it in a federal database (CODIS for DNA, FBI for prints).
