Bunch of fucking losers. They’re so goddamn pissed that I’m still using my P3XL instead of buying their ever evolving lineup of phone.

It depends on the composition of the battery. The faster you charge the worse it is on the battery.

It’s a maintenance process which preloads essential office files into memory for usage when you launch the different Microsoft applications so their startup time is reduced as well.

OfficeClickToRun.exe is years and years old. This isn’t a new thing at all.

Lemme know if you end up figuring it out. I’m invested.

I still use my 3a XL without issue. This is very likely a usage issue, settings issue or even a hardware issue. It’s not a software issue.

Clear your application cache. If that still doesn’t work, try uninstalling Google Chat, then re-install it. If it’s built in, uninstall the updates, and then re-update. This resets all the notification settings.

1. They wouldn’t get updates from base, anymore
2. That’s not what’s happening

and I fucking hate it.

So you don’t like Google. And you expect other’s not to like Google (I don’t, by the way) or you think they’re idiots. But when someone asks you why, you’re not willing to defend your position there and you just want to call people who don’t immediately side with your position on Google idiots…

Are you a real person, or just AI? You can’t honestly be a real person, can you?

So then why would I care about what you’re saying when you can’t defend it?

Explain how it “controls” your child.

No, it’s a nomenclature issue and continually proves that technologists are bad at naming things: https://xkcd.com/927/

Do me a favor. Go ahead and point out where I said Google was your friend. Thanks.

Owning the device is consent. Read the terms of service of your device. lol.

If you’re this scared to live in reality, then don’t. I don’t know what to tell you.

If possessing a digital device is so scary for you, why do you have one?

Again, this is a nomenclature thing.

You’re correct. mmW exclusively deals with the frequency range of the Gen5 network. But Gen5 networks are branded as 5G. mmW is branded as 5G. Gen5 over 4G LTE is branded as 5G…

I dont like the idea of google watching what my kids buy.

So then clearly this product isn’t for you? But just because you wouldn’t use it doesn’t mean its a bad product, which is essentially what you’re saying.

You’re not being lied to, people just don’t know what 5G is.

Only mmW is 5G. When you see “5G” on your phone, it’s Gen5 network over 4G LTE, which is not 5G. It’s a nomenclature issue. No one is being lied to.

mmW is 5G. Everything else is 4G even though it’s advertised on your phone as 5G–because it’s a Gen5 network over 4G LTE. And if it sounds confusing, yeah. It is. Which is why they just call it 5G and 5G UWB (actual 5G). Because most people would be so fucking confused its not worth it.

I mean, why would you not want this?

I really like the idea of my kid having the ability to use my card for things in an emergency, but me being able to control it versus them just stealing my credit card.

Seems like a pretty great feature IMO. Not sure why everyone seems to want to hate on it.

And even with alternatives, corporations own all the infrastructure.

It depends on what you mean by infrastructure. If you mean ISPs, then the majority of their infrastructure was built with public funds. It’s public infrastructure… They use your infrastructure.

My data still has to pass through their pipes

For sure. Which is why encryption and anti-censorship tools were and are created.

Because people are generally too lazy to setup alternatives.

This is because you’re running a version of AOSP that’s been purposefully changed by the carrier to allow them to do that. Stock android does not give your wireless carrier the unfettered ability to remotely install applications on your phone without your permission…

This is not some random application. It’s apart of Android and is included in software updates to the Android operating system.

You’re talking about fuckin’ Deezer. Some literal random application. You couldn’t have chosen a worse example if you were trying to.

So then either your account is compromise, or your phone has a virus and is downloading random shit from the play store. Either of these situations are astonishingly more likely than “google is downloading random shit on my phone!”

I sincerely doubt this is accurate. It’s significantly more likely that someone logged in under your Google account was browsing the Play store and accidentally remotely installed Deezer on your device.

Google doesn’t randomly install random applications to your phone.

Well that didn’t take long.

Wow. Crazy. It’s almost like the Android OS, the feature, and the Map application are all developed by the same company… Insane. /s

5.99€/month

Non-US. JFC.

But it’s not same serivce.

It’s the _exact same service, favors no specific phone over another, has a shared data pool so one user can use 100GB in a month if the other uses none, and the price is locked in by paying yearly.

It’s like you just googled a plan, screen shotted it, didn’t read anything else

I’m on this plan and I’ve professionally sold phones for over a decade. It’s almost like you just googled a plan, and started talking shit about it without even knowing what you’re talking about.

You continue to be hands down the dumbest person I’ve found on lemmy since coming here. You’re inventing shit up out of thin air to make it seem like a bad plan when it’s LITERALLY (again, literally, not figuratively) the same service you have right now. Both Spectrum and US Mobile are MVNO and RESELL Verizon’s service as a third party. It’s the same fucking service you have at this exact second for slightly cheaper, much more flexible, and completely fixes the issue that you made this thread about to begin with.

I really hope you find the time to fix yourself in the future because your personality is dog shit.

The stupidity continues, I see.

You specifically said nothing comes close to Spectrum, and I post something that’s $2 cheaper for the exact same service. Both plans are 2 lines, both plans have 100GB of full speed data between 2 lines, and both have unlimited QCI 8/7 data after your 50GB per line (which is the same as your current plan), with unlimited talk and text. It’s literally ATT, T-Mobile, or Verizon (you can literally choose which carrier you want, and can even switch them every day).

I posted to literally refute your first statement (which I did–completely) and every correspondence back and forth that we’ve had since then has been you misunderstanding something one way or another. You need to go back to school. This is honestly so embarrassing for you.

I’ve been on Lemmy for like 3 weeks, and you’re the dumbest person I’ve met so far. There should be like, an award.

The best part is you don’t even understand it.

I pay $60 for two

And this is $58 for 2 lines… I literally sent you a picture man… Jesus.

You get reduced speeds at 50 GB, down to basically dial-up speeds. US Mobile’s data cap isn’t until 100GB, and you still get 1Mbps after the cap…

You get double the data for the same price, for the same 2 phones… I’m begging you to read man.

Are you insane? The same plan at Verizon is $65+/mo and it uses traffic shaping to limit your video quality to 480p. lol. It’s effectively half the price. Not even to mention that on Verizon you’re limited to 60GB/mo;

Unlimited data is restricted to on-device smartphone usage. After exceeding 60 GB/mo of 5G Ultra Wideband, 5G or 4G LTE mobile hotspot data, mobile hotspot data reduced to speeds up to 3 Mbps when on 5G Ultra Wideband and 600 Kbps when on 5G / 4G LTE for the rest of your monthly billing cycle.

Nothing comes close to spectrum here.

http://i.xno.dev/u/g58e25.png

Spectrum is so bad bro. The line is $40/mo for a 50GB data cap.

US Mobile is $34/mo (when you pay for the year up front) and includes 100GB of QCI 8 data on Verizon and then truly unlimted data @ 1Mbps. They support AT&T (darkstar), T-Mobile (GSM), and Verizon (warp) and if you activate via eSIM, you can change them at any time. So if you’re going on a trip and you don’t get service with Darkstar, you can swap to Warp for the weekend if you want.

I’ve been using them for about a year now and they’re badass. I pay $96/yr (I pay up front) for service. Only includes 2GB of data, but I’m home or at work all the time, so it’s not been an issue. Everything else is unlimited.

Yes but, have you ever rooted a Xiaomi device. it’s VERY hard.

It takes a bit of working around, but it’s generally not that difficult to unlock your bootloader without following “official” methods: https://xdaforums.com/t/a-guide-to-unlocking-the-bootloader-of-the-xiaomi-redmi-9a-9at-without-mi-unlock.4687858/

So here’s the thing. The phone was made by a company in another country that has to follow that countries laws. But that only extends to the stock OS.

Just unlock the bootloader, root it, and install whatever on it. IIRC Xiaomi phones are pretty open platform wise, and are compatible with a wide array of ROMs. I’ve personally been using LibreMobileOS recently and I really like it–but unfortunately that seems to be one of the few Redmi models they don’t support yet. lol

It’s like you didn’t even read my comment…

automate installation of a list of apps

Not really. I’m sure you could set something up using fdroidcl or eget or something to grab apk’s from Github, but nothing would be “automated.”

While democracy burns, democrats do absolute dick.
