You keep saying 200 and 250k, where are you getting these numbers? In my 20ish years in IT, I haven't seen or met anyone making that. The only jobs I heard about that paid anywhere near that were overseas during the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions. Defense contractors were paid insane amounts of money to do next to nothing other than be near an area of conflict and render simple IT services.

I've read about some engineering positions in big tech companies that made 200-500k, but we are literally talking about .01% or maybe even .001% of tech jobs making these amounts.

It's not impossible that a household is pulling this, but you are also talking about 2 potentially highly educated and highly employable people able to make 100-125k each to make those numbers.

These 100k+ positions are also usually found in higher costs of living areas. It's not like these people are pulling in these salaries, but paying the cost of living equivalencies as in rural areas. If you don't already live in a major city in the US. I want you to do the math, double or triple your salary until you cross that 100-125k mark then look at the nearest major city to you (ie San Fran, Atlanta, NYC, DC, LA, Houston, Philly). Then look to see if you can afford a house/condo, food, utilities, transportation for your family in or near that city to live a lavish life like you seem to be claiming.

People seem to think that all of these workers that make more than them are in the same position for cost of living as them. Or have all of the same resources that they do. You need to think outside of your own little bubble and realize that not everyone is like you. As others have said above, you should direct your anger and frustration to people making insane amounts on money that they will never use or have a need for.

Ikr, I'm guessing these 200k positions are being scooped up before I see them.

Hmm, I didn't know this. I checked and it's enabled. However, the last scan was 11 days ago. Doesn't seem very useful if it's not scanning that often.

I've been saying for years now that providers should try converting to cert based auth. You get issued a cert with a private key from the provider. You are the only one who can use that number and authenticate to the network with that number.

For Kindles, the Fire Toolbox will get you sorted if you're below FireOS 7.3.2.2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/windows-linux-tool-fire-toolbox-v32-2.3889604/

Same, I've been using it for a few months now. Trust level has definitely gone up now that I know.

If you set message history, it's completely automated. My app size rarely is over 1GB. You can even set the media quality under Data and Storage so it'll use less storage if that's a concern.

There's your problem, the pixels since the pixel 5 have been dogshit for battery life. My wife had a bunch of problems with her 6, so we traded for a 7. Same problems. My pixel 3 was one of my best phones and I knew a bunch of people with 4s who loved them. Seems like since the 5 it's been nothing, but issues. Then they introduced their tensor chip which is just an overheating battery sucker.

Sounds like you want usability over privacy. Maybe look for another app that suits your purpose.

Don't you love when people don't even try to look for settings?
