It doesn't bother me either but I'm a glutton, so I immediately pivoted to foods I enjoyed but the torture was just that I was able to hear/watch them enjoy something I really wanted to share.

Yeah, the location data wouldn't function right as you said. They wouldn't know you were at the store on 5th Street if the app is running on a machine at home I suppose. Could always manually search it.

Not your fault we are in that situation. Hope your life comes into many a cheap watermelon.

Yeah that might be a good way of doing it, maybe someone else will pop in saying theyve tried one of them, I should have probably asked this on no stupid questions. I figure someone has already done it before so maybe they'll throw some insight about what to avoid. Thanks for the input!

If you want to get deals for the grocery store you need their app, cheaper deals for pizza, have to open the dominos/Pizza Hut app, I rarely go to Taco Bell, Starbucks, McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc but they all want you to use their app to get access to their coupons and order things. Maybe their points all add up on their websites, would just have to save all the logins in a password manager. Kroger comes to mind because they now use in store prices, price with Kroger card, and price with coupon from mobile app. It's crazy that that is allowed, but if they are going to charge 3.99 for a watermelon if you have the mobile app, and 6.99 regular, unfortunately I will cave and install the app.

Edit: seeing a product for sale with 3 prices listed below it is mildly infuriating

60 million apps keep getting pushed on us, and everyone wants their own... Every restaurant, gorcery store, etc.

Would it not be feasible to install all of those Kroger, Gas Stations, bloat, bloat, bloat apps on an app Server that we just have a remote access to them like a thin client from our phone in a singular app of shortcuts (look like a folder, directory) So all the apps stay installed and don't use resources on the phone. Which keeps storage requirements down on the local device and means when you go into another device you can just log in and have access to all the apps already signed in and how you left them.

Does anyone know if there is already such a setup?

It wouldn't work well with things like streaming services, but it could still cover a lot of day to day apps I don't really want to have to have on my device.

The internet is regulated in every country. Several countries have demanded information be removed from that site, and he complies. He only doesn't like to comply when its about things he disagrees with.

I'm glad someone has found their use, hanging devices off outlets never seems safe to me, or the device just falls as you eventually stretch out the charging ports.

Wish I had a collection of various colored chargers now. You may have inspired me to figure out a way to color code charging devices now.

Most phones shipped with USB a to USB c, that is not supported by many new devices. You need a USB c to USB C. If I pay over $800 dollars for something, I really shouldn't be wondering if I can properly get it to charge.

Also, at what speed is it going to charge? If it charges slower with your old charger that you got from your last phone... Then you should supply the one that provides the speed I paid $800 dollars for.

This was why even Microsoft ships a new Xbox with a Controller, even though you can use your old controller with it.

Edit: That said, there has to be cut offs somewhere about features not being supplied, it's not cut and dry

If I send you an address can you ship some extras, mine seem to die or you get ones that are only 4inches long with something. Throw in that now many devices only have USB C on both ends so your last phone that sold with a USB A to USB C cord, that no longer plugs into new devices, I am always at a shortage.

I mean hopefully they'll drop the case, and fix the underlying issues to ensure the artists get paid, and the scams don't continue. The world isn't that nice though is it.

Many sports are like that already. The NFL and NBA are not segregated by gender/sex, anyone can play. The WNBA exists and is supplemented by the NBA because women never make it through the tryouts/cuts. Same goes for the NFL, but they didn't make a WNFL.

Can you tell me how to say that differently? If people from America are Americans, people who believe in Catholicism are Catholics, people who believe in MAGA are what exactly? It isn't Republican, because they are a subgroup, like Jacobites. It isn't to dehumanize them, it is just what they would be called from what I would expect.

Maggots has a different spelling, which is what i know you are referring to, but maybe they should have choose a different name/slogan to go under

Humans haven't found it yet, that happens in 2115.

 

I hate that the title for the article claims "every problem" but I wanted to hear other users thoughts on this article
