Ahahaha you must be an android user. That doesn't work on ios devices you can only restore to the latest version. Even having SHSH blobs saved doesn't help nowadays. "no method for downgrading to modern firmware has surfaced in years, but itâ(TM)s still a good idea to save your blobs just in case." - Jeff Benjamin, Jul 19, 2015
On the plus side apps are developed for versions of android that aren't the latest because even the developers know 90% of their user base doesn't or can't use the latest version.
Does that work better on newer devices? On my old ipad 2 I've got about a 50/50 chance of being able to switch apps and still have what I typed because the apps are closed at random in the background.
I recommend you avoid RCA and PROSCAN tablets (although nabis are probably a waste of time too). Otherwise the rest of them are all decent that i've seen.
I just deal with ipods and ipads so I have no experience with basebands but I feel not being able to go back to a working version is a bigger liability than any potential security risk.
example super important electronic flight bag app works on ios 5.0.1 after upgrading to ios 5.1.1 it is found that obscure important function c does not work on the new ios version.
Since you can't switch out to an old ios version you now have a expensive paperweight until apple or the app developer fixes compatibility.
Lot safer to just not upgrade and still have a working app & device.
This year I discovered the latest version of gparted could no longer properly resize a fat32 partition. Lucky me I just so happened to have a cd with a 4 year old copy that worked without issue. N.I.N.A.B: Newer Is Not Always Better.
I never said they had to support it I just want them to not block it however I still run ios 5.0.1 due to never bothering to update.
About a year ago apple changed something on their end that enabled you to download the last compatible version of an app. That really helped. Surprisingly cydia hasn't figured out how to do that yet.

I hope I am never that way. I try my best to keep an open mind and not lock into a mindset. I suppose for that having a poor memory is a blessing. Although it makes day to day tasks rather difficult.
Seems counter intuitive to burn more fuel to make less exhaust. I was really meaning to refer to the efficiency of the engine. A lot of manufactuers are just making the vehicles lighter and using the same old inefficient engines to raise mpg.
I have always assumed that a more efficient engine would be cleaner burning. I suppose that could be wrong tho.
My best understanding of the VW cheating scandal is that if the emissions software worked like it was supposed to the engine would have significantly less power. Not saying I support what they did because many others were able to get the same results without cheating (years later) .
But as ive said before being Eco friendly is nice up to the point where things no longer function as they should. I can reduce emissions by 100% car if I rip out the engine but pushing it everywhere flinstones style isn't really practical.
Cfls are worthless as lights until they warm up. LEDs are great all the time just bad cri although im sure that will improve in the future.
The first low flow toilets wouldn't flush. Now they have better low flow designs that can flush strong with a fraction of the water.
They have started adding ethanol to the gasoline while I am not sure if its for an ecological reason it is really bad for small engines and will ruin the carborators of chainsaws, lawnmowers,atvs,motorcycles,etc especially if it sits for any length of time.
Anyhow what was the subject again? Ive wandered off and lost my spot.
I have yet to see anyone write a chat bot that could care. Much less carry on a conversation.
My main concern is that twitter will take a entirely automated approach instead of using an algorithm to help a human find those who could use help and take appropriate action.
Its because you gave them the address no one is going to guess that!
Need an easy to type one for mailing lists? Try something like sendspamhere@gmail.com although be aware you will get so many emails a day that if someone actually does message you you won't be able to find it.
You know what that means? It means only google is allowed to crawl the website. That mean's ddg.gg and any other search engine that respects robots.txt won't be able to search it.
My first thought is that twitter would implement it using a twitter bot. I think that would do more harm than good. Think about it anyone remember clippy?
I see you are contemplating self harm would you like to: Chat with a certified chatbot? Email twitter support? Send a tweet with the hashtag #HELPME ?
Or more recently Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Significantly cleaner exhaust. Slightly lower mpg. And one more thing to regularly buy for the life of the vehicle.
I was actually really surprised years ago that you could duplicate a windows install disk without having to do any fix up or emulation for drm.
Afaik you still can today with windows 10. As long as you have a genuine key your golden even if you installed from copy of a copy of a copy of a backup copy of a windows install disc.
Hopefully this will make things better as (at least on the versions before adblock) on ios many sites are completely unusable start to type in the search box Appstore redirect. try to scroll the page? Appstore redirect. Try to click a link Interstitial and then appstore redirect. Try to close a page what do you think happens? app store redirect.
Don't have much experience with android tablets but most of what i've seen hangs on the ebay homepage.
Either way in my experience advertisers treat mobile users much worse than desktop users so this is much needed.
I suppose they could double down on devices without adblock but at this point the only thing they could do to be more intrusive would be to install something like cryptowall on your tablet.
It should be but I haven't seen any news of any automated fill systems in development. As for electric Ive only heard of the snake charger tesla is working on. So maybe they will start work on automatic gas stations later? Many of the gas stations here have intentionally slow pumps so it takes 15 minutes to get 10 gallons of fuel. Some have even went as far as disabling the cc machine at the pump so you have to go inside. Somehow I don't think they have my convince in mind. So if I want to fill up at existing stations manual will be required. However since we are talking about a SDC having to drive an extra 100 miles to get to an automatic fill/charger may not be considered an issue on a cross country trip.
Years ago I was hearing about plans for wireless chargers where you just parked your vehicle over a certain spot. Haven't heard anything about them in a while so I assume its been decided the losses are too great with the amount of transfer required to charge an electric car.
However much smaller things eg a roomba already have a automatic (and wired) charging solution. So it can be done easily enough.

Just in case anyone still hasn't removed that BS music from their account here is a link https://itunes.com/soi-remove
I removed it from mine as soon as the tool was available.
Not complaining that I can't run the latest os just that I can't revert to the last (or even the first) version that worked.

Iirc both ios 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 were out of band security updates after ios 7 had already been released.

Is there any reason other than vendor lockin for them to refuse to allow you to install an older version of ios?
Which is why if you buy a used bluray player you have a 50/50 chance of it being able to play dvd's even if it has the dvd logo on it.

Protip setup an email that's not easily guessed and disable the spam filter. Seriously if anyone contacts you at

I have had to take to checking the robots.txt on websites I want to search myself many many websites today still have
User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
You know what that means? It means only google is allowed to crawl the website. That mean's ddg.gg and any other search engine that respects robots.txt won't be able to search it.
If only it were that easy!

My question is does it increase mpg?
You can have a car that has cleaner exhaust and still only get 5mpg.
Anyone remember catalytic converters? Significantly cleaner exhaust. Slightly lower mpg.
Or more recently Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Significantly cleaner exhaust. Slightly lower mpg. And one more thing to regularly buy for the life of the vehicle.
Oh noes! This planet is 70% covered in water. We must contain the oceans!

This is the first I have heard that china sent a rover to the moon.
Although I can't really say I am surprised that it only worked right the first few days.
I wonder why it didn't make the news here?

Try doing that with pretty much any game.
