I think this depends on what flavour of android you have. I can't answer your question, but if you provide the phone model and os version, it should help whoever comes along and can answer :)

I don't know how true it is these days, but it used to be Crossfit

They aren't crap at all, stop projecting your opinion as fact.

At worst they're niche, but provide tangible and easily understandable benefits that you might not care about that others love. That's like me hating on the newest Samsungs camera, just because I personally don't value mobile photography.

Your complaints about durabilitu are pretty tied these days, the technology has improved a lot and you can realistically be as careless as you can with any other cell phone. There are valid concerns , such as Samsungs issue with hairline cracking along the hinge, but you can stop parroting points addressed over the past 5 years now.

Nice try hacker man!

 

Hey android pals, not sure if this is the right place to ask but my Google Fu is failing me, I'm currently in a single party consent country but will be moving to a two party consent region soon, is there an app that works like an ivr that will screen calls and advise people they're being recorded (and ideally terminate the call if they do not consent)?

What do you mean? Having three seperate settings buttons with options divvyed between them makes perfect sense

Well that explains the smell!

This sounds strictly better than a regular browser, is there some obvious downsides that im missing (I know I could google this but you write very clearly and concisely and if it's not too much trouble, I'd love to hear your views on this)

Wild to me that theres a whole country out there that has so much influence over my life (an entire ocean away) and they don't know how much their meal will be before the cheque comes. Incredible.

It's not quite that simple when you're talking about a company with huge market share like that because the decisions they make go on to effect the market as a whole, look at headphone jacks, or screen notches for example. Not saying this is only apples fault, companies following their lead are just as bad or worse in some cases.

We can see it happening again with the removal of Sim cards, sure it won't effect me, but if it becomes more industry standard, it will; and I like physical Sims (though that argument is not for here).

In my opinion it is important to know and criticize market leaders to try to avoid those changes becoming industry norm. To use your example, I would care about what whiteware my neighbours buy if the shitty decisions they make come back to effect me down the road. Look at the criticism of smart TVs and how hard it is to get a top featured "dumb Tvs" now.
