It actually became more frequent when sms became free in my country around 2010 / when people switched to services instead of sms.
But it has also become easier to block messages on most services so it keeps the balance.
The age doesn’t matter. If anything, they usually become creepier the older the guy is.

In Germany they provide relief from the constant fear your vpn might leak and you’ll receive mail.

Doubt it’s without the owner, might be a two story building with one floor being an airbnb and the other the owners flat or some similar setup.

They can sting, they just mostly choose not to.

If someone asked me to calculate it in the street I would be blue screening but here it was a multiple choice with the options set in a way that you don’t really have to calculate compound interest at all, you just had to know it exists (over 110€).

They won’t agree no matter how hard you push.

That’s just DNS and exactly how you do it on android too, the op made it sound like he has something better that’s exclusive.

But that is so much worse then the free system wide AdBlock you can use on android without root, why do you think it is better?

Can you elaborate on how to use AdBlock on iPhone? Everytime I try to look it up I can only find ad block for the web browser. Last time I was told that’s all you can do, is this outdated?

Edit: you’re not just talking about using DNS right? Since that’s just the same as android.

The memory leak only affects the host.

You’re hosting a multiplayer game?

Also I think you have a bit of a warped view on what an os update entails for Android devices, maybe because your only comparison is the iPad.

iPads need updates because it’s the only way they can receive bug fixes and new features. On android even system apps can be updated via the play store, and new features can be added to your device via play services without even restarting, you’ll just get a random info one day that says “your device can now do this or that”. (Unless you go without play service ofc).

OS updates for the last few years have just been pretty forgettable stuff (like I can’t even remember one single feature they added with Android 14, I think it was just new clock fonts?)

I don’t think any manufacturer offers more than 5 years os updates. Normally you will still get security updates afterwards but I don’t know if there is any way to see how long exactly beforehand.
If you install lineage or some other rom it would not matter anyways what the official support is. But someone needs to take the time to port it to your device, so the more popular of a device you choose the more likely it is to get ports longer.

Generally I’d recommend looking at what hardware of a popular device fits your needs (size, budget, pen etc) and then just looking at xda to see what roms are available and how easy the flashing process is.

I don’t understand what you mean by saying you don’t want the software bricked in 5 years. You mean bricking while flashing a rom? Usually that’s easy to recover. I don’t think I’ve heard of many people bricking a device unrecoverably lately.

I consider this click bait. I’m kinda disappointed now.

Rotation of an image is stored in the exif data.
When you take an image with your phone in a non upright position the phone will rotate the picture to look like you expect it and write into the exif data.
But the image itself will still be the way it was taken, meaning the data of the image itself is unaltered.

Usually when you send the picture or upload it software will read the exif data and display the image accordingly (rotated). But some sites or some software will ignore or strip the exif data and display the image how it originally looks (non-rotated).

Play service is not an app store.

The green text is not the bullying, the green text is one of the new reasons the kids are getting their heads flushed in the toilet. The bullying has stayed the same, there are just new additional reasons to get bullied.

I use 4 towels as well, big one for body, small ones for hair and hands and tiny one for the face. Last one is more like a washcloth and not a full fledged towel.

Ys Nordic is only released in Japan yet as far as I know.
Ys 8 is a good starting point.
The stories aren’t that connected besides some characters and a lot of Easter eggs / references so you can play them in pretty much any order you want.

Do iPhones even have a way to add multiple users yet? Last time I checked there was no option, but I haven’t bothered for a while, so did they finally add that?
