........and of course the fox raided the chicken coop.
Guard Dog=Citzens of the UK.
Fox=Your government
Chicken Coop=everything you hold dear, including your freedom
Wow, I just had a flashback to all the stink that arose here when it was
revealed that the Pentium 3 cpus would have a unique numerical id
Damn, so quaint in this age of locked and signed boot loaders, malware
from illigitimate and "legitimate" companies*cough*Sony*cough*,
all the major commercial computer and phone operating systems
constantly phoning home with shitloads of user info, games with DRM that require an always on internet connection just to load, and other such
shit to remind us that we are fast backsliding into Feudal times.
I never get those on my tablet or phone, but that is because they are
generally gimped compared to a desktop or laptop computer (even though there is no real technical reason they can't do what a "proper" computer
can , the marketeers demanded these hobbles). If you are using a
"proper" desktop computer, Google must ass-u-me the user is some Ev1l SpAm 73rr0r ha>0r and must prove they are innocent.
(Yes, I know what our forefathers said, but right now they are bound and
gagged and dressed in a silly clown suit, proverbaly speaking. Not even
the peasants take seriously or care what they had to say anymore. Citizen
Rights? That is so last millenium!)
If you are using a browser where you can change the User-Agent string
that it sends out to match an Android browser, you may be able to
get around this, but be prepared to to be bombarded with "This
stupid web site works best with our app!" messages, or be locked out
entirely from some sites by this until you change the string back.
Must suck for those who have any kind of eye or visual perception problems. Those capchas that twist and contort the letters and mash them close together must really be fun for dyslexics.
and I can't watch funny cat videos on YouTube!####

After this past winter, I am in the "fuck the earth" mood.
But yes, Nintendo should owe up to it's mistake, exchange the defective
systems, and sell the returned/unsold defects at a discount and labled as "working but imperfect"
Everybody's happy and the whalez won't explode or whatever.
I remember when a few dead pixels were considered normal and acceptable on the tiny few inch color LCDs of the early 1990s, but
that was because color LCD screens were still a very new and very expensive technology back then.
I can buy a 20$ shit hand held "300-in-1" pirate game system in one of those
questionable electronics shops you find in the downtowns of major cities
that consistantly have perfectly good screens. I expect no dead pixels in a
system that costs hundreds from one of the biggest game companies in the world
Maybe in 1992 scince back then color LCDs were very hard and expensive to manufacture, but there is no excuse for this today. If some no name
phone manufacturer in China can constantly produce phones without this
problem, so can Nintendo.
I use the Dragon browser (based on Firefox) on my low end Windows 10 pc as Firefox proper
has a nasty habbit of locking that computer tight for upwards of a couple minutes as I am trying to use it. Edge isn't really any better.
Using Dragon solved this problem
..I want a pony, and a lazer gun, and a new bike, and a robot that will
do my homework, and a dog that won't chew my Hotwheels, and
a dinosaur.........
I can't do shit to stop this fast slide into facism, so I might as well open
a shop that sells brown shirts and those fake 'looks like Charlie Chaplain mustaches but they sure aint!' dealies.
Sieg Heil, and Come Again!
So how did Nokia candy bar phones with their black and white screens, ugly (by todays "standards") cases, and thick dimentions sell so well in 2002?
I suspect this is all about the sheep being brainwashed into thinking " thin phone is seXXXy, go buy thin phone or you are a loser dork!!!!"
Yeah, I would not go with a circa 1980s cell phone because those were
truly cumbersome to carry around and use, but I would not cry and fawn and lose sleep because my smartphone is an extra 2mm thick either.
(I swear, this world needs a big collective bitch slap to wake it up
from it's stupor)

For real security, you can use one of the "technicals" the local warlord's army uses.

Better a druggy than a pedo. I am sure Subway is still having a hard time living that one down.
It's the jobs they have in the BSF department (bullshut fluff)

No fucking thanks. Do I even need to explain why?
