you're missing the point
you're AT&T or verizon. someone asks you to sell their phone. it will cost you money to sell it, train people, support it, etc. of course you're going to want to brand it and install software to make that money back or help support customers. that's the way everyone has done it for decades from the first PC's.
for one thing the carriers have the retail and support presence to sell the product. like when i had a Note 3 on AT&T they said if you continue to have problems with it go to our repair store and we will replace it. or how apple fixes phones in stores
try that with Blu or HTC or some other manufaturer
because it doesn't work that way. AOSP you cannot make a retail product since you need drivers and lots of other software you have to license and sign contracts and pay support for. google charges money for their apps as well and there is a fee for OHA certification.
it's almost like Windows back in the day. you could never install windows out of the box and have a working computer. you needed the right drivers, etc. except AOSP has less in it than a standard Windows CD or DVD ever had. and even with windows, probably half the product was MS licensing software from other companies and simply bundling it in windows under their name
go look at xda and other custom roms. most of them have a long list of features and hardware on different phones that won't work if you install it
apple and samsung take home virtually all the profits in smartphone sales.
most android phone makers take a loss on their sales or break even.
android is designed for google to profit before anyone else.
why would they spend money post-sale to improve the product when they aren't making any money from it?
your crypto don't mean shit when you can require voters to assemble at a pre-determined place to be watched how they vote to make sure they voted for the right guy and using other phones to take photos of screenshots
yes it will stupid. read up on Tammany Hall in NYC in the 1800's. people were marched to voting booths, overseers made sure they voted for the right people and then they were given gifts.
same here. low paid people will be hired or voters will simply have to provide screenshots of their votes to receive prizes
I was going to switch and priced out a 6 line account for $120 a month with minimum data on each line.
under the New plan this would be $200, with the major difference being unlimited data for the old people on my account who don't care for it and won't use it.
might as well stay on AT&T where it costs me $200 a month before taxes and phones
they are dropping the data charges but raising the access charge per line by $5. on my 6 line account it would mean $20 less for data but $30 more for access charges which would be a price increase
a lot of cities already have this. like Kansas City, the first GF market. problem is they charge something like $15 or more per subscriber per month for maintenance
except that MS has had an enterprise software business since the 90's. and they even were the first in the cloud game when NT 4 had a remote desktop version that the cloud providers of the 90's used. back then we called them ASP's.
this is more like DHS wants more funding to get more power. as it is most poll workers are part time because voting is one day a year. sounds like the DHS wants to hire people to sit around most of the year but to make the bosses more powerful.
30 years ago porn was mostly in special theaters only the perverts went to or you had to buy VHS tapes and risk having them found by someone. and they were expensive. Like close to $100 in today's dollars for a movie
today porn is free and in that little pocket computer you carry everywhere
this is southwest. they fly out of the ghetto and broken down terminal in laguardia that looks like crap. i fly them because they are cheap. it's hundreds of $$$ more for me and my family to fly delta out of their nice terminal but why would i pay that when i don't want to sit there for hours just to spend money on overpriced food.
if they had a delay i wouldn't care either. i'd just fly on the next flight they put me on
i've been delayed because of weather, engine troubles, etc and i'm still alive and happy. the only thing public pressure does is cause the company to spend more money in redundant hardware which mostly sits unused and raises prices

and then you run your manufacturers out of business and send people flocking to apple to buy phones genius
except they have to do that because they don't have their own retail and support network like apple does or like MS never had one and relied on OEM's

they are too much but part of that goes to pay NPAC and other third parties who run services every carrier relies on
the access charge is for talk/text if you have a dumb phone. the rest is for data

maybe there is something in Bash preventing it from working with Avast? have you asked them?
Otherwise the only security flaw is paying for overpriced food and drinks
it's not supposed to be easy but to make you pay monthly

which ranges do they block? usually the melanin light is above most of the blue blockers which block the lower ranges that strain your eyes
at worst i'll read on my ipad or phone with the black screen on and have no problems going o sleep
