Fair. It’s hard to know sometimes if someone has English as a first or second language. People can be really technically good, but then not understand more subtle cultural things.

Never know maybe both of our comments will help some people.


It’s common in English to refer to a collective like a company or government as though it were an individual. I think it’s just a simple short hand really.

Eg “The whitehouse said today…” We know that the whitehouse (a building) doesn’t have the power of speech and that really means “a whitehouse spokesperson working in an official capacity on behalf of the government said today”.

Really the headline should be something along the lines of “what, exactly, are Xbox business strategists thinking?” But because of the common knowledge of how this shorthand works they can just use the headline they did.

There’s probably a fancy linguistic name for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


I got one this year and just can’t love it. It’s fine, but I definitely miss my pixel 5.


It’s just not big enough in the EU. Everyone uses WhatsApp. If Google wants to push a regulator to do this then they need to find one in a market where iMessage is actually used.


Couldn’t replace.

When I try adding a photo in messages I get a grid with a viewfinder (which is really cool and clever) and a few recent photos. Tapping folders brings up all the photos on my phone in chronological order. I can’t see though how to open Google photos from this screen to get non local photos.

Also in typical android I’ve never seen this set up on any other app.


Um, have you seen how vicious chimpanzees are when they fight? Violence 100% is monkey brain.


The one on this site has a link at the bottom, saying I’ve disabled adblocking. I clicked that and it took me to the article.

A lot of other ones I’ve come across just disabling JavaScript is enough to bypass.


You can just lie to the site. Clicking I’ve disabled my ad blocker seems to be enough.



I went from pixel 5 to Samsung s23.

The hardware of Samsung feels really solid. It’s definitely more customisable. The pixel though just has everything already built in. It was a joy to use. Plus the camera is just so reliable. Far better than the base s23.

The Samsung isn’t quite bad enough that I want to sell it and get another pixel when it comes out, but I’m definitely not sticking with Samsung in however many years time when I do replace it.



But you don’t need ultra to have a fully functioning app. If you want to pay nothing you can. If you just want to remove ads forever it’s £17.


To get the initial release out. It’s not like there’ll be no more development after that. Plus, there’s the much cheaper price for just add free.


Eh, I think they’re talking about ultra


I had some issues with revanced, uninstalled and reinstalled I think with a slightly newer YouTube version and it’s fine again now.


I think helping clear landmines and detecting TB are pretty friendly things.
