It's not 450MB for my current version, updated 6 times over including the data portion and the cache portion from the last 9 months of usage. If your install is that big then you've done goofed son.
Also apps shipped with the image do not sit on your data partition so they fundamentally sit unchanging, unedited. If you're worried about free space, then look up how much free space you get with your phone when you first purchase it. Complaining about the bundled apps is stupid in the face of the inefficiencies shipped in the Android images of most vendors. The bundled Facebook app is the largest shipped on a factory resetted phone and weighs in at 180MB. Interestingly my phone has a 4GB larger image out of the box than the latest Nougat image from Google, so Facebook is nothing more than a rounding error in that regard.
Speaking of phone free space, want to know what takes up more space on my phone than Facebook? 45 seconds of video.
Sound money is most definitely important. Bitcoin isn't it, and there's no requirement for said money to be digital.
And no, before you comment, government issued digital money is not sound
Put your tinfoil hat back on. There's nothing more "sound" than the thing which forms the basis of what has ultimately brought our current society to the place it is today. Government issued fiat currencies are the very definition of "sound" unless you think our current society is in non functioning chaos and disarray due to the US Dollar being regulated by an authority. If you think that,... Put your tinfoil hat back on.
This statement is idiotic. Reducing energy consumption is a stupid goal.
Oh I assume you live in one of those planets with infinite resources. Congratulations. Also the rest of your statement is equally stupid since perfect pollution free systems don't exist and therefore shouldn't be the only target of improvements.
Demand for energy will always increase.
This is the only idiotic statement in the entire thread so far. Demand for energy is dependent on efficiency we achieve while reaching our goals. Go buy an electric car, your energy usage will almost quarter without any talk of pollution. My parents just installed a heatpump in their house. Expect their energy usage to be decimated this winter when they aren't running bar heaters everywhere. I insulated my house and replaced the seals around my doors last winter. My gas usage plummeted as a result.
Demand for energy only will always increase if you're insistent on wasting energy on stupid endeavours, like mining imaginary items of value for financial speculators.
An abductor on the run, unable to use air travel but also willing to forgo sleep in their deperation to escape a search area, can do that in 27 hours drive time. Achievable if they take a bus part of the journey, or try for a desperation-fueled thirty-hours-without-sleep day. So that is actually a perfectly reasonable search radius.
Holy crap the conclusion you reach is not even remotely related to conditions in your assumption.
If you want to lead a public-facing life, you better be prepared for the positive and negative publicity.
I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting here, Elon Musk isn't prepared or doesn't know about public life and expects a free pass? All of what you're saying is right, so how is it that your post sounds like you don't know that these kinds of complaints from Elon Musk are part of public life too.
Positive PR to combat negative PR. Complain about coverage, spin some facts. This isn't Musk being unprepared, this is Musk doing what every public facing person does: PR.
It might break blockchain, yes, but, like, who cares?
I care. The sooner we can break blockchain the sooner we can stop the insane amount of wasted energy we are pouring into this retarded tulip and go back to reducing the world's energy consumption like we were doing before this stupidity infected us.
Google may have violated California law by recording the call." Friday he added that "This wouldn't send anyone to prison, but it would be a bit of an embarrassment, and would reinforce the notion that Google has a cavalier stance on privacy (and adhering to privacy laws)."
Or maybe the intent of the law in question was to protect people and their privacy and Google me the intent by removing all possible identifying information about the call. They did this to such an extent that they got accused of staging the call in the first place. So what is it? Is it fake as hell, or are we violating laws by not faking it?
It's amazing how regardless of what anyone both sides of any argument will still find a way to complain about it. Seriously some people need to get a life.
You know an easy way to assure people? Not have a terms of service saying we will harvest your soul in the first place. There's no arguing that Apple's policy especially right now is a cut above the rest, but if you believe that their practice has been consistently this way then I have a bridge to sell you.
The first being the noun describing people in management positions. The second being the noun describing the process created around the organisational structure.
It takes an incredible mind for someone to read the sentence "it took that long for its light to reach us" and then assume that anyone else reading this thinks in terms of the light's reference frame.
Kudos for calling out all those lightist people out there who think just because light is inanimate we shouldn't try and view light from its perspective.
Oh I don't disagree that DAB+ is nice. I put a DAB+ radio in my own car. Still I often find myself switching to Spotify when I get sick of an endless stream of adverts, this is especially bad in the UK, Germany, and West Europe in general all the way to Spain.
Though curiously I found I didn't have cell coverage along parts of the highways in France. That caught me out.
See, when you promote your vehicle with said safety features and it still ends up crashing just like the " dumb " cars out there
Ignoring the competition which has had these safety features for years? I mean am I right in assuming that there have been zero accidents from any Nissan manufactured since 2015? Because someone's broken ankle certainly hasn't made the news when it happened for Nissan's automatic emergency breaking. So I guess no one has had a fender bender in a Volvo in the past 8 years either right?
A. It really wasn't front page news unless you count maybe the local paper
Let's examine this one shall we? This isn't the first time I heard this story mentioned and not through some Streisand effect either. This shit is showing up in general on news sites everywhere and even in my Google feed under the generic "car" header. I don't even live in America let alone locally. So why should this get covered? An estimated 5500 people get injured every day in the USA due to car accidents, and about 90 die. Yet here we are talking about a broken ankle.
B. There is this thing called statistics.
Exactly. So by your own account we should be seeing 1460x the coverage of the competition's fender benders. But we don't.
These statistics remind me of the previous media crusade against Tesla: Car fires. OMG Tesla's are unsafe because they can catch fire! The media seemed to want to cover a car fire every opportunity it happened to Tesla. I didn't hear of the 150000 other non Tesla fires that happen either, because no one seems to give a shit about statistics.
Who will citizens turn to if someone is murdered on their island? - The mob Or if someone invades their island? - The mob Or sinks it? - The sharks Or if power fails? - The mob but for different reasons Food supplies fail? - The sharks, but for different reasons Water supplies fail? - The mob but for different reasons Currency becomes destabilized? - France, hoping for a bailout.
Some people listen to the radio for things other than brain-rotting pop music and (c)rap. News, sports, traffic, those are all things you can't cram into a flash drive and listen to later.
Ironically a lot of that stuff doesn't get carried over FM. Also flash drive? WTF is a flash drive and how do you bluetooth stream it to your car radio via the Spotify app on you mobile phone:-P
Sidenote: In Europe for the most part people don't give a crap about traffic reports since we've had automated traffic reporting through RDS to our in car navigation systems since long before everyone had a copy of Google maps in their pocket.
In Britain they still do it via radio too. In many other countries in Europe it's via Class-0 SMS or Cell Broadcast which is better since it can localise to the disaster area.
Plus these days there are far more people in the vicinity of a mobile phone than a radio or television.
Do you have any data on that or are you basing it on your personal views?
I still listen to the radio, for example
I still listen to radio too. Looking around I seem to be one of the few. No surprise though, looking around at what is on the market no one seems to care much about radios. Follow a typical car company and they may sell one or two models with a DAB+ radio. Nearly every radio though will have some kind of bluetooth integration, many offer Aux in, and those with Bluetooth (especially those tied to in dash entertainment units) usually directly integrate into Spotify too showing album art, etc.
In the UK they rolled out the god awful DAB standard and have only very recently introduced DAB+. Who is at 50% DAB or the technology that doesn't make your ears bleed?
Regarding point 2 - I've never understood why the UK doesn't just make it mandatory on new vehicles sold in the UK. They have emissions standards, they have safety standards...why not other strategic standards?
What is so important about a radio? Most people are more concerned with the ability for a new car to bluetooth and spotify than listen to an endless stream of adverts and the same generic shitty music pop music on every station.

Not just an abandoned Google project
Well since there was over 20 releases in the past 4 months some may say not an abandoned project at all.
https://www.apkmirror.com/uplo...
An abandoned Google software? No way!
From the Google Play store:
"Update May 17, 2018"
Don't confuse Google's non-existent customer support with it's non-existent product lifecycle process.
Are you being sarcastic?
Yes.

The changes have just been made
So there have been changes.
to re-assure people what they are not collecting
You know an easy way to assure people? Not have a terms of service saying we will harvest your soul in the first place. There's no arguing that Apple's policy especially right now is a cut above the rest, but if you believe that their practice has been consistently this way then I have a bridge to sell you.
Yet another pointless attempt from an Apple Hater
It's all about perspective fanboi.

No, that is not what it means.

Apple has never changed it's approach on privacy
Really? Because it seems we've covered changes in Apple's privacy policy on a yearly basis.
