Ah, a fellow GTA player

oh wait, you meant… oh, well fine then

Well, I kind of know what happened in that scenario… because it did. Until Pay, there was Wallet. The original Wallet, not the current one. Wallet had a physical and virtual prepaid debit card, that you would load up and manage in the app. I used it a few times (new tech woo), and distinctively remember ordering at a McDonald’s, the clerk announced the cost, I held my Nexus 7 to the new nfc pad, they started to say ‘uhh no you have to-’ and then a success beep, and their jaw dropped. They thought it was nuts, I told them in a few years ‘this will be everywhere’.

So before Pay, there was Wallet, and it’s own little sandbox of testing if anyone would use this. A couple years later the Wallet card discontinued, and Pay took its place.

That’s kind of a double edged sword though. Android got a foothold because a small scrappy unknown company in silicon valley brought them into the fold…

Aaaaaaany day now… guys…?

(I have a pinephone and no, it is absolutely nowhere near ready)

That is more the fault/worry of the financial sector and not G. The fact that they gave up this amount of leeway is shocking. Their risk tolerance is very low and giving G the ability to manage virtual cards and allow payments with them is huge in itself.

Even Privacy, which does part of the same thing/idea, still only works for some cards, doesn’t work at all for credit cards (last time I checked), and has been in the sector for a similar amount of time.

G had to lock down Pay to appease the financial sector’s risk management. Anything else was DOA.

Briefly:

My ThinkPad and it’s snapdragon 5G modem. *ubuntu is the only distro where it works, and it only works because I am using the fcc unlock scripts that are no longer functioning automatically/by default. The docs for this are abysmal and atrocious.

On my desktop, my creative sound blaster cards (two of them, AE-5 and Z) when set to surround/5.1 - FL and FR are correct, no other channel is. After days of research and tinkering, I achieved no progress and it has been a known issue for like 8+ years, according to forum posts. Stereo/2.0 is fine.

My desktop is thus stuck on W10 (there are additional hurdles but that is a blocker), while the TP is for niche use cases. I do more server stuff than desktop/workstation.

Yeah, the only people I let hold my devices out of my sight are the ones I’m banging. And even then I still need to unlock the device for them to use it.

I’m not letting Sarah at Starbucks explore my phone files and apps, lol.

Their laptops were known for having root kit drm in them. Their phones are only available in select markets and are massively overpriced (in NA anyway).

Aside from cameras/components and the Playstation, they seem keen to shooting themselves in the foot. I have a bravia TV and it’s… a TV with barebones ‘smart’ features that aren’t used. So kinda following the overpriced trend there too…

I would like to apply for a housecat position, I will be happy with just 5 treats a day, plus lunch and dinner. I can also meow at you for seemingly no reason, and run around the house in the middle of the night. I can push things off of surfaces as well, though rarely just to keep things exciting.

I know, but they wouldn’t let me drive it. It’s just like gta, just gotta go full power. We would have been there by now if I was in charge…

Well if modern travel wouldn’t be so upset with the whole “why did you murder them” response of “they were fucking annoying”, it would improve things drastically.

I just opened the door and tossed them out of it. They wouldn’t shut up about wanting the flight to end, and being back on the ground as fast as possible…

Now that baby in 16E…

Uhh, hello, I’m right here. Please, no flash photography.

They aren’t "i"s, they are clearly "o"s

Me, a super ultra mega gay: my time has come, try me thot

‘you guys are paying for subscriptions?’

There is a Debian-based version available

(yes I know Ubuntu is also based on Debian but LMDE removes the Ubu middle-man)

Hello.

That’s why you arrive in a stolen car and leave the keys in it. You get the joyride, they do the time.
