You never used cheat codes in GTA San Andreas and the like? It’s a lot of fun

The data shows everyone uses their Windows 11 taskbar at the bottom of the screen. You can’t argue with that.

They were not only not allowing it, they immediately blocked the user’s attempt to put it on their servers and banned the user for even trying. That’s as far from allowing it as possible.

It is you who is misinformed, because they did specifically say you will be able to bypass it with ADB (which now is going to be made easier, presumably).

One place they said so is here: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/09/lets-talk-security-answering-your-top.html

That’s not a dark pattern…

I’m sure it will be like the Steam Deck, meaning you can absolutely install non Steam games on it, but they still have to work under Proton (meaning the vast majority of games work, except ones requiring kernel anti cheat).

He made a comment in a discussion, as can anyone. People disagree with his comment. Intervention my ass, all he did is express his opinion, which everyone is free to ignore.

The comment you replied to did not dispute that. They said Windows games run on Windows, not that they don’t run on Linux.

Do you have any source on this? I have never seen a similar article about phones sending a 3D map of your home to the manufacturer.

It could be a feature of web browsers. Images would get some icon indicating the valid signature, just like browsers already show the padlock icon indicating a valid certificate. So everybody would be seeing the verification.

But I don’t think it’s a good idea, for other reasons.

What’s wrong with my Israeli friend who moved out of Israel 15 years ago and attends pro-Palestine protests?

On my Samsung, all the Samsung apps are not uninstallable, they can only be disabled in settings but not uninstalled.

Not going to shill for Samsung, it has it’s problems, but to answer your question I happen to use one and I don’t have a Facebook app. I don’t remember if it was not preinstalled or if it was able to be uninstalled and I did when I got the phone, but I don’t have the app. Either way there is definitely no unremovable third-party bloat. But there is a bunch of first-party bloat though, like Samsung Cloud, Samsung Checkout, Samsung Keyboard, etc, and it can’t be completely uninstalled. I haven’t seen any apps being downloaded to my phone automatically, but I’m not logged in to a Samsung account so maybe that’s why.

Ads in the settings app (for example Try iCloud!), ads and bloat on the home screen (for example Apple Watch app preinstalled even though you don’t have one), side loading blocked.

Did you even read my comment? I already addressed what you said, and already included the quote.

But I really like how in the text you copied, “Windows 10 is the last version of Windows”, a factual statement about the newest version of Windows at the time, was editorialized into “Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows”, a statement about the future that was never said.

No, they never did. Yes, it was all over the news, but they literally didn’t. Go be angry at media for making stuff up. You don’t have to believe me, go ahead and find that announcement yourself. You won’t because there was never such an announcement.

Notice how even the article you linked doesn’t give a full quote? It just quotes someone saying “last version” without any context of the sentence it was used in? I will give you the full quote where that comes form. Someone asked a Microsoft developer what they are currently working on, and the answer was:

”Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.”

It is obvious from context “last version” meant “latest version” here. And that misreading of a quote, conveniently not included in most articles, is the only source for all these news. No announcement. No journalist actually asking Microsoft about it. Just a fleeting comment by one Microsoft employee that obviously meant something else, in an answer about something else, but why let that get in the way of a good story.

And this was an answer to an audience question in a "Tiles, Notifications, and Action Center” presentation by a single Microsoft developer, on a developer conference. The absolute last place to look for a ground-breaking announcement about Microsoft’s future.

The company said it had yet to decide on what to call the operating system beyond Windows 10.

And the exact same article you linked confirms Microsoft is still deciding on the name for the next Windows? Which would make no sense if there was no next Windows?

“There will be no Windows 11,” warned Steve Kleynhans, a research vice-president at analyst firm Gartner.

There will be no Windows 11, says some guy who doesn’t work at Microsoft.

And then a bunch of cherry picked quotes about continous updates being a good thing. Yep, continous updates, just like we got in Windows Vista, and that have nothing to do with there not being new Windows versions.

Modern journalism is useless. Someone made up a thing, everyone else copied it. And not a single media outlet actually asked Microsoft about it. No one. Or maybe they did, but the answer meant there is no news, so let’s ignore it.

Car crashed into a building, killed a pedestrian on the way. Any number of scenarios. Doesn’t mean the pedestrian survived.

I think you are confused about this it works. Steam absolutely does refunds after 2 hours of playtime, it’s just that if you have less than 2 hours it’s mostly automated and you don’t need a reason for the refund.

Equating photo backup, something that needs to be turned on and only uploads media you create, from folders you choose, to North Korean government taking a hidden screenshot of your screen every 5 seconds, is a gigantic stretch.

Definitely don’t use Google Photos, Google can’t be trusted with your photos. But wow these are completely different things.

What I’m seeing, is that:

• it doesn’t log all your touches, but some actions in some apps
• not on any Android device, but some device categories like smartphones
• only on those with Google services (no China devices for example)
• only with a Google account logged in
• only when that account has that feature turned on

That’s already very far from every Android device, let alone every touch.
