How long until advertisement impacts chatgpt answer, I mean not just adding a sponsored link at the end but changing it's answer.

We've seen it with Google, money is too hard to resist. Enshitification is coming !

Thanks god for the open Chinese models, they are the future. All hail the CCP.

Even on grapheneos you got to install the play store and play services to get most app to work, which mean connecting to a Google account.

Technically you can use fdroid, Aurora store, or only use stock applications but if we are serious, not all domestic abuse victims are also geeks that know how to do all these things.

They will need their apps, for instance for social security. Also, many people use their phone to pay nowadays, can't do on grapheneos.

Domestic abuse is a serious threat and people are motivated to stay away from their abusers, but if you give them something so barebone that they can't do 90% of their stuff, a significant percentage of them will revert to their old behavior and risk compromising themselves. For instance, buying a second phone and connecting it to the old Google account just to browse tiktok.

It's mostly the app. Nothing come close to apple notes or reminder for instance.

Even safari... On Android, you get chromium that doesn't have any extension or Firefox that has incredibly frustrating UI and doesn't work well on some website.

Why care about what Google know about you, in case of domestic abuse ?

It's not like Google is going to sell your tracking data to abuser.

There are many reasons to get rid of Google altogether, I just don't understand this one.

Only in Google camera, which is usable on grapheneos: You get a live shot feature, it ain't exactly the same tho, look into that.

I run pixelos and the amount of stuff I miss from iphone is staggering, the difference between pixelos/grapheneos isn't as big as the difference between iphone/pixel.

I don't mind paying a little more in exchange for good customer support. My internet provider has gone from having support in Arabic countries, that speak French good enough but don't really care about you, to support in France and it makes all the difference in the world.

I was astonished when I asked a question and the guy did actual research, called back and told me things that a simple Google search on my end wouldn't have find.

Usually it's very different, they either don't know/don't care or say things that are obviously false.

I believe it's also why Amazon took so much in popularity. If I got an issue with Amazon product, I know it well be dealt with swiftly, as long as it's sent by Amazon and not by a third party.

America found the solution, put everyone on enhanced TRT and cash a shit load of bucks in the process :)

Others are trying to regulate pesticide, junk food (obesity, diabete). For instance nutriscore in Europe, also the recent change on pesticide allowed.

I'm not sure it will be enough, but at least they are attacking to the root cause. You're not just adding even more problem, like the increased cardiovascular event or erectile dysfunction with overdosed TRT.

Same for the semaglutides that everyone and their mother take in the usa, people wouldn't need them so much if they didn't eat absolute crap all the time.

We know that semaglutides have also side effects, and that rebound happen when you stop, but I guess it's better than just fixing the food lobby ?

I just downloaded it and launched it. It's very funny and somewhat addictive but it also feel overwhelming, just around me there are hundreds and hundreds of questions.

Some,I really don't care to answer, like "the Telephone pole, is it made of wood or steel ?!"

Who cares honestly.

What prevent you from putting a sticker over it ? 0.1€ cost, can be removed in case of control otherwise you can pretend the camera wasn't working.

End of story...

Honestly, I'm all for more automated system while driving because I drive but I also bike and walk. Some people are complete nuts that shouldn't have their license and the least you can do is hold their hand, with as much algorithm as you can, like they are toddlers driving a 3 Tonne car.

To me, the best anti cheat are the one you put in the game design.

There is only one 'fps' I play, it's called holdfast and is about Napoleonic warfare. Muskets are so inaccurate that having a wallhack or an aimbot would be complete nonsense.

There are still people who cheat in other way, but it's extremely limited.

Cheaters killed 90% of the multiplayer game to me.

I know but I don't think there is any other solution. These companies speak money, if you don't speak money they ignore you.

Getting your users computers infected and having to deal with bad buzz, prosecutions, loss of sales, would most likely wake them up.

Sending them a mail ? They don't care.

Yes I do, but we are speaking of companies with billions. If they can't take this seriously enough that they pay for the vulnerabilities, they deserve to get the bad press.

When all MSI computers get exploited in the wild, I bet that these execs will find money.

So far, for the vulnerabilities I have reported to Google, ASUS, AMD, TP-Link, Netgear, MSI (and more), they have paid out a total of $0 in bug bounties.

Why bother reporting to them ?

You could just as well sell it to third parties if it doesn't interest them.

If I say something illegal during a meeting, people will notice it and will report it to the police. Then I may get arrested or fined.

Why should it be different on the internet ? Provided we live in countries where freedom of speech is enacted.

Of course in Russia or china it's different but surely they already have tools like that.

It's a mess, how would you remotely start up your laptop ?

The plasma big screen is also not very well made, I don't know if you can even compare it to Android tv or apple tv.

And the last nail in the coffin is that you don't get apps on plasma big screen. I need my internet provider app to acees the tv channels, otherwise I'd have to pay even more, and it's not available on Linux of course.

No, really, it's not an alternative.
