There's TS (mono), TRS (stereo), TRRS (stereo+mic), and now TRRRS (fucking bullshit). TRRS has been abused a lot in the past, with people using one connector for video, moving ground around, etc. The most recent disaster with TRSS was the confusion between the OMTP and CTIA standards. One has left, right, ground, mic, the other has left, right mic, ground. Depending on what your device has and what your headset (or TRS headphones) have, you can have issues ranging from added noise, the mic not being detected or usable, or even the voltage being fucked to the point you can't drive your headphones.
Except Costco won't even let you in the door without membership, and neither of them will sell to you at all without membership.
You can get into Costco by flashing a gift card at the door. You can also get into Costco without a membership if you're dealing with prescriptions for drugs / glasses.
Android Auto is absolutely worthless. Just throwing that out there. All I want is:
1) My phone's display to be shown on my car's touch screen, and the car's touch screen to work for controlling my phone. I don't need an app integrating vehicle information or controls into this. The only other requirement is that I have a way to toggle between Android Auto and the car's regular display and controls.
2) The audio to work like it already does. (Actually, I'd like to get my car's audio but interrupted with any activity, such as navigation instructions, not just voice calls. But this isn't a deal breaker.)
That's it. Don't give me a different interface. Don't lock out features or apps. Don't throw me into a dedicated mode on my phone. Don't place shitty restrictions on shit. Just make it fucking work so I can have Google Maps on my fucking car's screen. Otherwise I'll be using a smaller, more distracting screen with less-accessible controls. If the goal is to prevent distractions you're achieving the exact opposite by making shit so frustrating and unusable.
In theory, Android Auto should do most of what I want. In practice, it depends on the car and the device. My current phone, for example, will throw me into Android Auto if I plug it into any modern car, lock me in to Android Auto, and then be fucking worthless because there are no "supported" apps for Android Auto for my phone. WTF? Fuck you, LG!
The point about android is that it is pretty open, and can be installed on devices that are not made by Google. If you're going to limit the devices that can run Fuchsia to only those made by Google, then that's no different than Apple's iOS on it's iPhones.
Android is not open. Android is not free. Android cannot be legally installed on a non-Google approved device. AOSP is open. AOSP is free. AOSP is not Android.
Could you give an example of crapware you've found on say a Chromebook? Or how about on a Nexus device?
I consider most of the Google apps for shit I don't want that hooks into their services that I don't use (be it their music store, their book store, their buggy calendar app, etc.) to be crapware. Don't even get me started on "Instant Apps" (instant ads), which isn't even listed as a separate app that needs to be enabled/updated - it's baked in deeeeeep, bluetooth "beacon" (more ads) shit, notifications (more ads) triggered by GPS when you're near a store, etc.
Android is an ad and spying platform for Google and it's getting worse and worse. The 4.2 era was the last time users had any semblance of control over it. I'd still be running that if it weren't for the fact that it's got more exploitable bugs than a Starship Troopers movie.
I have 22 Google apps on my phone, not counting shit that's not normally shown as an app (all the com.google.esoteric.name.no.one.knows.what.I.do.apk shit). From Android Auto (which cannot be disabled on my phone - if I plug it into my car, even as a passenger, my phone is completely LOCKED DOWN because there are no useful Android Auto apps and none at all which work with my car) to Android Pay to "Google" to Chrome to Photos, Slides, Docs, Sheets, Play Movies & TV, Play Games, In Apps, Music, Youtube, etc. etc.
I only really want the Play Store, Hangouts (which they keep making worse), Google Maps, and maybe GMail (but it doesn't reliably sync, so fuck it). If you're on a modern Nexus/Pixel device, you're also getting way more shit, from Allo to Duo to the shitty G launcher + themes to the Google Assistant to Messages.
It's mimicking the behavior of Windows and Windows programs. It's emulating.
Emulation has absolutely n o t h i n g to do with hardware, ISAs, etc. It has everything to do with behavior and appearances. To emulate means to imitate. It does not matter what you're emulating or how. A few decades ago there was tons of software sold as emulating other software.
Emulating has never meant having to mimic an entire "platform", a piece of hardware, or an ISA. Emulating has always meant acting as something else. Even in the computer world. There was never a rule that emulation dealt with hardware or a complete "platform".
Emulate, image, and imitate all come from the same root word.
When I had to re-set up Google Authenticator for my Google account last February (due to my prior phone bricking itself), I was forced by Google to give them my phone number for an SMS message / voice call in order to set up the authenticator app.
Passwords are not authorization. Authorization is handled entirely by the service.
Authentication: User: Hello, I am Bob. System: Hello, Bob. Please prove you are Bob. User: Here is the password for Bob. System: Please provide additional information. User: Here is a hash of a scan of my anus. System: Welcome, Bob.
Authorization: User: I would like to look at Bob's order history. System: Here you go. User: I would like to look at Joe's order history. System: You are not Joe, fuck off.
The "second factor" in most cases can absolutely be put into something like KeePass if you have the plugins to work with it. It's just a seed you jam into a hashing algorithm along with the current time.
The only ones you need a third party for are those which are unknown to you (an awful idea). For example, a site sending you a one-time code (randomly generated, hopefully) via text or email. That's not 2 factor, that's 2 channel. (And SMS is a joke in terms of security, and email just verifies the person logging in has access to that email, there's not actual check that they are the person they claim to be.)
Multi-factor authentication traditionally relies on 3 things. Something you are (a fat, ugly slob), something you have (the worst BO of all time) and something you know (a password). In the real world this works just fine. The guard at your workplace knows you, asks to see your badge, and you put in you password into whatever terminal. There is active verification of these 3 different types of criteria. On the internet, they try to ape that security but in the end it's all "something you know". Whether that's the password, the seed for somsone's password-generating clock, their phone number to pull the SMS down, a hash of their retina/fingerprint/anus/etc. it doesn't matter.
WINE is in fact an emulator. An emulator is a thing that emulates the behavior of another thing. The word isn't specific to what you emulate or how you do it.
WINE is the worst retconned recrusive backronym I've ever seen.
You don't understand at all. The issue isn't about whether or not someone can see someone else.
The issue is whether or not the bullet fired from point A can hit the player at point B. You only need to verify this for each bullet that hits a player. PUBG is on a whole other level with the bullshit. LOOK AT IT https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Even the "standard" 3.5 mm jack is fucked now.

Yet they do it all the time.
You can get reduced cost Prime if you're on welfare, lol!

The cancellation link on the site is busted, and all other options for editing the membership fail. Hitting up support chat results in:
I am sorry xxxxxxxxx. I've tried to cancel the membership. Since there is a technical error, We're unable to cancel the prime membership.
Ripped all my credit cards out from my account and that managed to get the end date on Prime to show up for next month.
I would've been on the annual membership but Amazon won't let me switch to it for some reason. Fuck em.
Have you ever seen the cost of repairing anything on a BMW?
Oh, you took it to a non-BWM approved place for an oil change once? There goes your warranty.
You have to pay for BMW Assist and navigation updates too. If you don't like it don't buy the car. It's easy.
That's ok. I didn't.
I bet you use turn signals, you loser.

Yes, it is. Aurora was a name associated with some stage of the B-2 design. The name got out and people started running amok with it.
Bing it.
Fuchsia was the escape plan in case Oracle won/wins.

It emulates the behavior of parts of Windows and emulates the normal execution of Windows programs.
Next.
Emulating has never meant having to mimic an entire "platform", a piece of hardware, or an ISA.
Emulating has always meant acting as something else. Even in the computer world. There was never a rule that emulation dealt with hardware or a complete "platform".
Emulate, image, and imitate all come from the same root word.
Apparently.
And you set it up before they instituted this requirement.
Go turn it off, then try turning it back on again.

100% correct. Handing passwords over to a third party like that is retarded. KeePass is the correct solution.
Bump it up to coffee stirrer the next time your post this.
