I'm not sure if I understood your deduction. The literal translation of "Zange" would be "tongs", "pliers" or "pincer". Hinges are the things that make doors swing and hold to a wall right?

Multiple source say the origin of the word isn't documented but the best explanation they come up with is that pliers can be used to bend something into a different form.

My guess was it has its origin in the proverb "Das würde ich nicht mal mit der Kneifzange anfassen" which translates to "I wouldn't even touch that with pliers" as in stuff you detest that much that you rather would stay away from it.

Thanks for the source. So yeah "Potato Chip Technology That Destroys Your Hearing" doesn't sound reassuring. Nonetheless I'd take those packaging everyday over conventional knowing I did my thing while getting fat.

Eating out of conventional chips packaging in cinemas or libraries should be punishable either way. I think in reality those customers problem was the "open the bag at night without waking up everyone" problem which should be preventable with a bit of planning.

They were louder than the aluminium/plastic bags? What material did they use? Also what a lazy argument by the producer for giving up environmental actions. Bet it just cost them more.

If you want a nice introduction to why a proper plant based diet is in most cases better for longevity listen to this interview. The 2½ hours are really rewarding and you'll get some very important (live-prolonging) information:

This 7 min excerpt from the interview briefly touches why changing our diets is imperative for the survivability of future generations:

The podcast of Simon Hill is called "The Proof".

K&P weren't exaggerating probably:

I read somewhere (sorry no sauce but it seemed informed) that it's a deliberate choice by him to appeal to working class boomers or something. Did you all know that a medium channeled his deceased dog which in turn told him to run for president?

I'm at my 3rd moto atm. A slightly outdated g31. It came with Android 11 and only recently 2 years after I bought it, it got the 12 upgrade. Still gets regular security patches.

Next the apps installe by Motorola (where I mean by optional that you can deactivate them, not uninstall). None of these apps are in the top 12 in the battery usage statistics and most of them are activated.

Moto App (117MB, optional)

A tutorial center with "kurzgesagt" like animations e.g. for gestures. A selection of shortcuts to settings for customizing your device and Motorola QOL settings.

Moto Actions and Gestures (20MB, optional)

Enables the gestures (has no other brand a shaking flashlight gesture or has Motorola patented it?).

Moto App Launcher (4MB)

The Motorola specific desktop customization. I don't know how close it is to the Pixel stock image but it doesn't get in my way.

Moto AI Services (whopping 200MB, optional)

The reviews for this service are scalding. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of having AI on my phone that's not in my control. Two reviewers point out, that it probably isn't very invasive AI and rather used for QOL features, like the shaking flashlight feature.

Moto Feedback (31MB, optional)

Helps the user sending feedback (bug-reports and memory-dumps?) to Motorola. Again smotheringly bad reviews. Never had to do with it or used it knowingly. Can be deactivated.

Motorola notifications (88MB, optional)

Again some furious reviews. Double edged sword as it's used to send news about updates but also push ADs. But the latter isn't very spammy. Just every few weeks or month a push notifications about a new moto. That's about the only place where I would see ADs (apart from regular apps).

The browser login of my bank needs a separate application that's windows only or an app. The Java(!) application Jameica saved my ass for the 6 years I'm on Linux now. It can manage multiple accounts. It offers statistics, saves all the transfers, deposits and balances ad infinitum on your disk, is searchable and has templates and schedules for transfers.

The protocol my bank uses is FinTS, I think. I'm logging in via a certificate file and a password.

I don't want to use an app, cause I trust my cutting edge Linux (Kernel 6.7.6) a lot more than my possibly malicious app riddled outdated android.
