  1. Oh, stop, Shania.

  2. Or you can read a history book. It's fucking common sense, not idiotic. There's plenty to read in Supreme Court rulings. There's rarely a fucking landslide decision, it's majority decision based on at least two interpretations by much smarter people than you. Your German butthurt is showing.

    My kingdom for your Tampermonkey script. I only signed up for an account because I thought it would have basic features to block KGIII and apk. One of them is gone, but would easily replace with many others.

  6. What the fuck are you doing to your phones that none of them survive a year? You're obviously the problem.

    Or you could read TFS. The price difference was substantial. That's like saying to buy the name brand soup for 2 cents difference when it's actually 40% difference in price. Even if it was only 2 cents, you're not some fucking genius, either.

  8. What? Why? The buyer would just file a refund claim.

    No one wants you for a customer. People generally use computers to get shit done, not restrict and make things more private. You can't have a more connected world and be stripped down private OS that kneecaps you on all data going in and out. Find a smaller OS that shares your goals, because a mainstream consumer OS is not for you, and you're an idiot thinking so.

    I disagree. I know a very smart FPGA developer. He can setup AND understand some complex FPGA debug that's beyond my level, but I can set a static IP on my computer and he can't. If your family doesn't call you for computer advice, you probably aren't a power user, IMO.

    I think you have limited experience in OS's. Most modern linux distros have 6 month releases. The ones that don't, are considered stable but not current. Most of stability issues are driver or CPU patch related, not OS. Me, personally, have never had to roll back a bad windows OS upgrade but I have had to rollback and freeze kernels on Linux VPS's I have.

    The shitty part is the distance, and support. I got a Red Note 4 Pro and the camera didn't work out of the box. Using Xiaomi's own counterfeit app, it reported suspect. They still insisted it was legit and not tampered based on serial number on the box. Support took several days between shitty, shitty broken English. Return was out of pocket and took 6 weeks to be credited. Ordered two more of a different model, and those users haven't reported any issues. $180 cad all in for specs equivalent to over $600 in Canada. So you put up with some risk for substantial savings. I'd cry a lot less losing a $180 phone than a $600+ phone, though. And you could upgrade each year and have pretty decent spec'd phones.

    Fuck dude, you need to chill the fuck out and not have your world revolve around defending Apple. You're going to stress out your heart, or something. Sometimes, you come off a little apk-ish. (Everyone should agree that the notch is ridiculous, period. Full. Stop.) Thegarbz said above, "2. Ridiculous is in the eye of the beholder. What is not is calling it "Apple's Notch". It's a "notch" period. It is ridiculous on the iPhone X, and it was ridiculous on the 2 android phones which introduced BEFORE Apple copied it. "

    Because it hurts my ears. It's noise. I can probably block Italian (so long as not shouting) fairly easy, but when there's a lot of Chinese spoken around me, I just want to tell them to fuck off. Also, languages that sound like you're hawking a loogey are annoying as fuck, too.
