Honestly yeah that does also kinda piss me off because my phone or laptop can essentially already do the same stuff. Like this toy is basically getting mixed up as some actual hacking tool while in reality it’s just a little dinky device that you can do cool things with. Like control your TV or have it shout back RF at things. The entire main purpose of this device is to serve as a digital pet to maintain which I think is cute and charming. I’m probably definitely going to buy one in the future to piss off my local government.

Yeah exactly no root access required.

Yes let me stalk someone to steal their car temporarily. Honestly this thing is kinda a toy on par with my rooted LG V20 with its IR blaster and USB C port that I can plug anything into or my HP stream with a software defined radio I played around with. These people are kinda making software for the wrong type of devices to be frank with ya and I cannot wait until someone makes some weird app and USB C dongle for an android phone to replace the Flipper Zero with. You don’t even need to have root access for this as apps can just take over the USB port anyway on your phone.

No unless you wanna no longer be on the internet on the fediverse publically.

I thought that was the Calyx developer?

Yeah same here! But I think google is trying to monopolize RCS at the moment and there are really no good alternatives especially here in the United States that people are willing to use because its just attached to a phone number and you don’t have to think about it.

That would be a nightmare scenario where T-Mobile would start to squeeze MVNO’s for around the same price of someone paying for t-mobile after buying them. Honestly I don’t know if I would even have a mobile connection at that point anymore as I am quite poor! There are really no good alternatives out there for cheap service especially for my area and my terrible terrible smartphones that aren’t supported on any other networks. Especially! After AT&T decided to force manufacturers to pay for “HD Voice” which was just rebranded volte using the same bands that they had before most of them deciding not to for the cheaper brands of android smartphones out there.

Oh I just won’t in the future. Like I already ripped discord out of my life alongside most social media. Meaning I’m capable of doing it with YouTube as well especially as I was terminally online on discord. Plus I have literally infinite media to consume anyway via piracy and games on steam to get to alongside the odd source port or two.

Guess I’ll just be blocking YouTube.com on my DNS server and all subsequent Google URLs. I am fed up with their nonsense anyway.

Been rocking Tello for 25 dollars a month for 35 gigabytes of data.

Man it’s a shame that Google RCS doesn’t run on android phones by default if you have a custom rom or rooted your device or have an unlocked bootloader. Guess this won’t really affect me then and it doesn’t really matter.

My motherboard legit does this. Though it’s probably more so it’s an industrial one with like 8 SATA ports than anything else.

Oh hey it’s where I live!

That reminds me of my dad which is why I avoided waking him up as a child.

Man it’s a shame I switched back to SMS because Google Proprietary RCS now runs only on non rooted android phones gosh forbid.

Yeah I already know about this. Also as a long time prime subscriber we have had ads longer than you’d expect. It first started as ads for Amazon products and also previews for other Amazon shows. It doesn’t surprise me that there are pause screen ads now like other streaming services.

Well time to replace my roku TV with a Goodwill special TV because fuck that shit. Fuck smart tvs in general and what they have become. They used to be neat little editions added on for value on your TV back when Netflix made sense. But now they don’t especially with the ads that automatically get shoved into your face depending on what you are doing that have started to interrupt your viewing experience. It’s not like I’ll be downgrading at all when just using a computer with a TV using Stremio and AllDebrid.
