Guess I’ll just be blocking YouTube.com on my DNS server and all subsequent Google URLs. I am fed up with their nonsense anyway.

Oh I just won’t in the future. Like I already ripped discord out of my life alongside most social media. Meaning I’m capable of doing it with YouTube as well especially as I was terminally online on discord. Plus I have literally infinite media to consume anyway via piracy and games on steam to get to alongside the odd source port or two.

Been rocking Tello for 25 dollars a month for 35 gigabytes of data.

That would be a nightmare scenario where T-Mobile would start to squeeze MVNO’s for around the same price of someone paying for t-mobile after buying them. Honestly I don’t know if I would even have a mobile connection at that point anymore as I am quite poor! There are really no good alternatives out there for cheap service especially for my area and my terrible terrible smartphones that aren’t supported on any other networks. Especially! After AT&T decided to force manufacturers to pay for “HD Voice” which was just rebranded volte using the same bands that they had before most of them deciding not to for the cheaper brands of android smartphones out there.

Oh finally I can pull it out of my closet and actually use it again! Oh wait… It requires you have not updated the device.

I guess I’ll just hit it with a sledgehammer then and continue to use my computer that doesn’t force ads on me by default because I run Linux and also use my Windows 11 computer with updates disabled on it that will probably be switched over to Linux when 24H2 comes out or when 23H2 no longer receives security updates.

P.S. You can’t change the default launcher anymore and scoped filesystems basically broke all functionality on the thing that I was using it for. I also don’t know the domains for Google’s ads that they show on the device and I don’t care anymore.

Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices (www.theverge.com)

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

Man it’s a shame that Google RCS doesn’t run on android phones by default if you have a custom rom or rooted your device or have an unlocked bootloader. Guess this won’t really affect me then and it doesn’t really matter.

Yeah same here! But I think google is trying to monopolize RCS at the moment and there are really no good alternatives especially here in the United States that people are willing to use because its just attached to a phone number and you don’t have to think about it.

HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware (www.tomshardware.com)

On May 26, a user on HP’s support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

My motherboard legit does this. Though it’s probably more so it’s an industrial one with like 8 SATA ports than anything else.

Also an IR blaster as someone who also has an LG V20. It’s a shame that these phones can’t rock custom roms beyond android 8 or 9 (only if you live in Korea) due to Qualcomm refusing to give the community volte drivers and technically these phones never having an official way to unlock the bootloader. But using android 8.0 in 2024 isn’t that bad yet and I can totally justify still using a 2016 smartphone in 2024 especially when it benchmarks the same as low end smartphones today plus it has a removable battery.

Man it’s a shame I switched back to SMS because Google Proprietary RCS now runs only on non rooted android phones gosh forbid.

Yeah I already know about this. Also as a long time prime subscriber we have had ads longer than you’d expect. It first started as ads for Amazon products and also previews for other Amazon shows. It doesn’t surprise me that there are pause screen ads now like other streaming services.

Chicken Sausages are actually pretty gross but I like them anyway and I used to eat them all the time with noodles such that I would have some protein. Such that I didn’t feel like absolute trash after 15 minutes of consuming the noodles. Of course I don’t eat that much salt now and have genuinely lost a lot of weight over it now that I eat slightly healthier and eat slightly over the legal limit of salt usually a day here in America instead of 3 times over it.

I have my own family cat and he won’t ever leave me alone ever and hates when I leave. His name is guy and he likes to cuddle and purr on me or in my arms now and distrusts my mom so much so that he doesn’t even let her hold him. She is the real owner of the cat. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/52b3faec-dc59-4a32-92d4-ed600181cfe7.jpeg

Well time to replace my roku TV with a Goodwill special TV because fuck that shit. Fuck smart tvs in general and what they have become. They used to be neat little editions added on for value on your TV back when Netflix made sense. But now they don’t especially with the ads that automatically get shoved into your face depending on what you are doing that have started to interrupt your viewing experience. It’s not like I’ll be downgrading at all when just using a computer with a TV using Stremio and AllDebrid.

As someone who has tripped balls on similar things before this legitimately haunts my ass even to this day.

I am reminded of the dude who legit shoved a shotgun up his ass with lube and had to goto the hospital after he climaxed because his asshole clenched with pictures and everything. Send help get it out of my head.

The Chinese Propaganda Machine is already affecting Lemmy like it did on Reddit lol.

Seriously though I’m kind of sick of it and China’s lying as they make more and more coal plants and have mini environmental disasters like the rent-able electric car trend that so many companies did just to make bang over buck from the CCP over it that failed during covid.

China is not your friend nor is the friend of the world infact it is actively harmful to both human rights and the environment at large.

Anyway unlike other people I do have sources for what I claim here.
