Huh, wasn't aware that swiping from the edge of the corner to the right would bring down that menu. I'm used to just swiping down from anywhere on the top to get that...thanks I guess.
Searching for flashlight in the settings of my daily driver brings it up too, but gives me nothing on the iPhone.
I regularly use the flashlight on it, but I haven't found a way to enable that from anywhere else than the bloody lock-screen. Searching for any variation of flashlight, light or torch only brings up websites and apps to download...it's a small thing, but insanely annoying.
If you can only find things with a search function, the UI is dogshit...but yes, they also often call things different names than what is obvious to me.
I find the iPhone interface extremely unintuitive. I have one for work, and I'm a complete imbecile at using it, despite being decently tech-savvy. Everything I want to do is not were I expect it to be, it takes me forever to find things and settings.
on-device processing is still a thing
Unfortunately even if this is initially processed locally, there's a significant risk that results and/or samples are still sent back. manufacturers have shown on multiple occasions that the allure of data they can leverage is too much to resist.
3G has been turned off in a lot of places, but 2G is still very much used globally. It's still the last fallback for phones to maintain basic texting and calling functionality. In many places emergency services also use it for e.g. emergency information via text message.
But that doesn't make anybody any money.
Of course it does, there's a shitload of parts that needs to be sourced, and most people will need someone to perform the conversion. There's a substatial amount of money changing hands in that kind of rebuild.
The bigger issue is getting the car approved for public roads after the rebuild. Depending on the country, that is nearly (if not entirely) impossible.
Everyone who has ever reviewed the dacia spring recommends you stay the fuck away. It's a cheap piece of crap, and a death-trap if you ever get in a car crash. Dacias consistently perform terribly in Euro-NCAP.
Yes there'd be less, but the amount is purely speculative and you don't know anymore than I do.
Even if they have to go with the ad-supported model to maintain a large active userbase, that can easily be done without all the tracking. But again, they chose the shittiest option...there's really a pattern of them just being massive assholes. No matter what options they have, they'll apparently go for the shittiest one that screws over the users the most.
If you actually replaced with "Lorem ipsum" texts, it would probably be easy to filter the garbage from the dataset.
Also, they probably have copies of the comments before the edits that are just not presented in the frontend.
Well there's apparently more than 400 million active users every month, so they could charge users a few cent per month and pay for the infrastructure entirely. But they choose to be massive privacy invading assholes.
I've only recently gotten the iPhone, and I don't use it outside of work ever, so I basically only use outlook, teams, the camera and flashlight...and regular calls of course.
