Personally I avoid any crap sold by anyone other than the Google Play store that are 100% unlocked and boot loader unlocked with none of the bullshit that these manufacturers are pulling.
My current android phone is an HTC M8 only because the One Plus X I got is a steaming pile of crap. and taught me that One Plus phones are junk. Next one will be a $600 phone from google directly that is a developer phone. the only way to freaking get a pure android and have it my property without carrier crap inserted and samsung/HTC/LG/etc trying to lock me out of it.
HTC ONE M8 battery is still at 99% capacity. Friends with the M7 are still going strong.
the problem is that HTC puts the battery in a spot that when it swells it will destroy the LCD. so at the end of life it does not just hold a charge anymore, it shatters the display.
depends on the app. clicking on the crown in dark skies beings you back to the watchface for example.
clicking the crown should bring you to the home screen no matter what and violently crash whatever app wants it to do. I have always hated that phones in general dont do this, I have had iphone apps freak out and not let the home button go home, and the same on my android phone. if I push that home button I want to go home now, if an app does not release immediately crash it hard.
All laptops made have shot for keyboards. I am really tired of how all the laptop makers keep making them thinner and thinner and crappier and crappier to the point that at my desk the laptop sits on a stand and I use a freaking real keyboard.
Some day I will win a few hundred million lotto and I will tour the world kicking laptop keyboard and trackpad engineers in the nuts over and over again.
We cant even get banks to transfer money from bank to bank without major difficulty and huge fees. and Simple shit like setting a rule of "1% of all deposits go into a separate account" are impossible here in the USA.
Completely agree about the interface being a bit wierd. it took watching several videos to figure out how to get to the main menu.. it is absolutely a training required product.
My old Pebble for example pressing the center button ALWAYS brought you to the menu. the apple watch the crown button does different things based on where you are. very confusing to new owners and even apple device users.
Only by the idiots like you that have never touched one. If you had owned one for even 2 weeks you would have more credibiity, but Most likely you dont even own ANY smartwatch.
It is the #2 smartwatch out there behind the Pebble. And the Pebble outsells ALL the android watch brands put together as a single number.
It's useful, but the problem is that form over function that is consumer electronics will destroy it. Apple Watch 2.0 will be thinner and lighter, Instead of making it have far better battery life and far better functionality. If phones today were only a few Millimeters thicker for more battery capacity we would have phones that easily go multiple days between charging.
I personally have owned Two Pebbles, the first and the latest Time Steel, a Motorola, and now an Apple Watch. They all have their advantages and failures. Pebble just cant stay connected to android or apple phones. Battery life on the Motorola was dismal at best. And the apple Watch integrates with apple devices the best but still has dismal battery life.
I see far more apple watches on executive arms than any other smartwatch, so it's very popular with the makes real money crowd.
And all of them are 100% useless in computer security. They are great at encryption, but they suck as bad as a soccer mom at keeping a hacker out of the network.
Most CS grads are utterly useless at troubleshooting or critical thinking as well. They don't teach that anymore. They make great code monkeys that just do what they are told though.
The Good ones learn in about 2 years of real world that the ones that think outside the box and try to figure things out for themselves end up at the top of the pile.
Cybersecurity experts are NOT professors with multiple PHD's. It's a waste of time to learn anything but the basics from those guys at unholy high dollars per hour colleges charge.
Absolutely. I guarantee he would not get scrapes on his head and needed the stitches if he was wearing a helmet. Again you are shown to be clueless.
But I'll give you a chance to win $1000 right now.
Come to chicago, I will give you $1,000 cash if you put a running belt sander to your head for 20 seconds, I'll do the same but I wear the helmet. if we both have the same injuries, you get $1,000 in CASH!
You know you will be unharmed! so what are you waiting for?
Instead of reaching out and asking if these people would want to become a sanctioned event, or a simple, could you please work with us to not violate our IP, they chose to instead swing the FUCK YOU hammer.
Maybe for those that dont know electronics. It is trivial to install a physical disable switch, phone and laptop makers just dont want to give you this ability. Less than $0.12 in cost to add a simple switch to 100% hackerproof your microphone.
Dear Senate, all of you are drooling morons. uncrackable encryption has existed for decades, and will continue to exist after your stupid law. All the law does is makes honest people criminals.
It's to the point that it's not worth it to be an honest citizen because the criminals have more freedom.
Now using the built in microphone to listen? a LOT more information is gained that way... If he was a competent FBI director he would order hardware WITHOUT a webcam or built in microphones and would have a team inspect it first.
The dipshits at that company refuse to give out any information so that OpenWRT or DDWRT can be easily compiled for it. What is it with china companies being stupid and not embracing a community doing all the programming for them?
All of them have went down the shitter lately. I used to LOVE lenovos... my newest lenovo is the biggest steaming pile of shit I have ever owned. the keyboard misses keystrokes, it's slow as fuck, and the plastic hinges are starting to crack already.

Lawyers are garbage.
Any HP or Dell business class has a high security or DOD model with that deleted.
Then you dont know anything at all about helmets and need to stop talking about them until you get some education.
It's as stupid as the morons on motorcycles that ride without helmets.
Disclaimer: I have been and still am a motorcycle rider. 20 years and over 250,000 miles on 2 wheels.
"so physically disabling it isn't an option."

Dont really care about watching him.....
Now using the built in microphone to listen? a LOT more information is gained that way... If he was a competent FBI director he would order hardware WITHOUT a webcam or built in microphones and would have a team inspect it first.
Except those denialist idiots are going to elect their king Trump and he will make science illegal.
Yes and Yes.
Yes it's that easy to circumvent, and yes they are treated differently.
yes. They all should have had to fare it on their own.
Nope it's the real deal... I think it's his new hobby.
The fucker keeps stealing my pizza deliveries, and he puts the bluray disks in the wrong cases.

Lenovo has turned into a steaming pile as well.
