Hi, there!
💆
I was born in 1989, so I am an ancient grandpa and demand respect for my lawn. (/s ya right like I own a house)
(P.s. I am not a sexy hairy ripped daddy bear, but I do own a cat named Tammy 🐈⬛)
Can someone explain to me how you can just simply program something to bypass privacy and security features? What is the point of having these features if you can literally just program something to ignore them? Like…??? Temu is obviously bad if this is true, but if it IS true, it shouldn’t have been possible to begin with!!
I am disabled and have limited income I don’t have control over increasing or decreasing. I use temu to save a lot of money on essential things that should be cheap but are still overpriced in America. Sponges. Rags. Soaps. Pens. Tools. Home improvement hardware. Plant grow supplies. Gifts for me nieces. The tagline, is just a tagline. Billionaires are not like me and scouring for cheap magic sponges.
Edit: also, temu did not invent drop shipping. Shopping on amazon is literally the same thing.
Is anyone else upset this is affiliated with GOOGLE and not being rolled out some other way? Cuz i am
Easy answer: kick companies the fuck off the Internet, make internet service a public utility, and provide tax supported services for the most important functions (payments, medical records, SEARCH, etc)
Where will the tax money come from? Well nowhere, the Pentagon is too busy blowing it on wars and hiding aliens. This won’t happen because we don’t get things like this because companies are too busy innovating civilians into shitty lives.
Ubik was right
Me too. I always thought of Nokia as genuine innovator’s delivery good products. Not fantastic products. But good products with CONSUMERS in mind and their usage habits, rather than designing phones around optimizing selling us things.
I downloaded a third party app that re enables the windows 10 taskbar and lets you put it on the side. It’s called ExplorerPatcher. Cannot believe you can’t dock the win 11 taskbar on the side…what a choice…
I know this isn’t a common takeaway, but I’m all for it.
The current state of call centers is EXCRUCIATINGLY painful for consumers and only exists in the form it does to commodify US for the company. We tolerate the shit experience of call centers, so companies don’t need to pay more money to give us a better experience. That’s why they exist, the only reason. If firing them all and turning them into AI makes the experience even SLIGHTLY less painful than calling your local public assistance help line, I’m all for it. If I can bypass 4 separate phone tree selection menus with 3 minutes of wait time with the crackling loud wait music between being passed around departments, I’m all for it. These are shit dead end jobs with no upside whatsoever.
Just use whatever Temu uses.
Temu packagers could fit a whole factory in the boxes Amazon uses to ship my deodorant

My headphone jacks have been crackling since 1998
So I don’t own a pixel?
Honestly I’d rather just not watch Oppenheimer.
This is the only thread people are having trouble communicating me with, and it’s not a coincidence it’s Apple. Please don’t let the door hit your huge ass ego on the way out of the thread.
The whole Reddit debacle has really made me rethink all my services. I recently installed duck duck go and still getting used to it, so not quite sure if I’m ready to make another drastic change.
I used to love Firefox in 2006 or so, but got Chrome when it was released and forgot about Firefox. I think I’ll open a tab in my chrome browser for the Firefox page now…this is how I remind myself to delve deeper into stuff later. Thanks for the inspiration, everyone. Google has irked me ever since removing the Don’t Be Evil mantra.
My engagement was the links. It seems the problem is a problem regardless of Mac or Windows. The fact the problem is universal in my opinion makes the argument of your post pointless. Downvote away, people.
Edit: and I posted “the same two links” only twice. I’d hardly call that “everywhere” but we all use language differently. And let’s be real here — I got downvoted because I didn’t immediately jump on the Apple cult bandwagon lol. There are a number of posts I made in this conversation that weren’t rude or even incorrect and they still got down voted. Says enough, IMO. I’ll think twice before joining an apple thread next time that’s for sure. Learned my lesson!
Thanks man, appreciate that. 🍻
Every person I’ve heard hate on temu shops on amazon, too. It’s pretty ironic.
