If only the idea of a carrier-locked phone could be made illegal... It would put more pressure on the companies to actually come up with decent pricing and plans to secure their customers!
Why is there no requirement to use registered names within X days to keep the trademark? What's stopping some rich guy from trademarking a whole crap load of fun-sounding buzzwords with 0 intent of actually ever using them?
Did you ever dreamed that hm you had um you would you can you do you want uh you can do some you do um you want it so much that you can do anything - like proper word usage down?
The most explosive thing in it were the batteries, thus, the remotes for the projectors are bombs. Wireless peripherals are bombs. Cell phones - bombs...
This is something that's always driven me nuts. Life adapts to its environment. Just because we need oxygen and water to live doesn't mean that life on other planets also need it. They'd require whatever their environment has to provide.
There are surely other phones from that era getting updates, too. You'll also find Slimkat and other ROMs for it that are still supported and updated frequently.
Is there full-system adblocking in Cydia? It's an honest question because I haven't touched iOS since I moved to Android.
Android phones definitely outlast iPhones. My S2 lasted me a good 3 years. When I finally ditched it, it was still very capable, and running Kitkat thanks to the Slimkat ROM.
Apple is way too locked-down and restricted. They last as long as Apple lets them last.
The government wants to keep their data safely encrypted? But I thought they were saying that only bad people with bad things to hide need to use encryption? Are they admitting to being bad guys doing bad things?
I was hoping somebody else had made this point. The app is also far more effective - blocking out ads even from applications. The downside is that it requires Root access. This seems to be a feasible solution for non-rooted users to at least get around browser-based ads.
Cheap Smartphones Quietly Becoming Popular In the US
Bloomberg reports that ZTE and its cheap Android smartphones have been grabbing more and more of the market in the U.S. It's not that the phones are particularly good â" it's that they're "good enough" for the $60 price tag. The company has moved up to fourth among smartphone makers, behind Apple, Samsung and LG. That puts them ahead of a lot of companies making premium devices: HTC, Motorola, and BlackBerry, to name a few. ZTE, a Chinese manufacturer, seems to be better at playing the U.S. markets than competitors like Xiaomi and Huawei, and they're getting access to big carriers and big retailers. "Its phone sales are all the more surprising because it's been frozen out of the more lucrative telecom networking market since 2012. That year, the House Intelligence Committee issued a report warning that China's intelligence services could potentially use ZTE's equipment, and those of rival Huawei Technologies, for spying. Huawei then dismissed the allegations as 'little more than an exercise in China bashing.'"
I wonder how long it will be before these ones are also found to be full of malware?
Tepples? Man! I need to get back over to gbadev. It's been far too long. Hope all is well on that front - you guys all saved my butt a few times like 5-10 years ago.
I'm not sure what you mean by "financial crimes" but how could you even do that on one of these defunct* systems? The official servers have long-since gone offline, and it's not like people are storing credit card/banking information on them.
*By manufacturing standards. I realize the homebrew scene is still alive and booming (at least for the Dreamcast and LSDJ on the Gameboy)
What about users that actually stream a metric butt-ton of movies AND download torrents (and back that data up to a PC)? They're not tethering, but I be they'll still get cut off.

All you have to do with ATT is get hit with their "malware"

Maybe Microsoft should just pull their support and force them all to downgrade to iPads?
Nothing worse than video-based ads chugging down what little monthly bandwidth I get on my phone. Thank god for F-Droid and Adaway.
Like "Downgrade To iOS" or "Enjoy our limited appstore"

GLORY TO AMERITOTZKA!
Cyanogenmod is still releasing ROMs for the Galaxy SII (Released May 2011) http://get.cm/?device=skyrocke...

Quite a few, actually. Not all official updates, but generally better updates than what the Carriers/manufacturers offer.
How many iPhones allow custom ROMs to be installed - which allow things like adblocking and OS customization?

RIP to my first porn search engine. I was in teenage-heaven when they introduced picture and video searching.

How long until these get cross-checked with the Ashley Madison hacked records? Data is fun!
Turkey shuts down water plants and bans oxygen and nitrogen. Turkish government notes that terrorists are using these substances to survive.
More at 11.
How long until the copy goes missing or the library gets burnt down?

Shit, the holes in my pocket are enough to prove that. As is my coin-gobbling couch.
So what they're saying is that they want the masses to go back to pirating the movies?
