You can probably disable it with a custom install, like Cortana

True kings fix each other’s crowns.

Legit question: for the average person, why would this matter? Like congrats copper, you can see my text messages to my mom, and my receipts in my email, and my pictures of my pets. If someone’s actually doing crime, then a password should be the least of their security measures.

I’m in the same boat as you and it drives me up a wall. I’ve found a solution and love getting 2-day battery life out of my 5 year old phone.

I swear by Greenify and use it religiously. It programmatically force-closes all of your apps that you don’t use, so that they don’t send broadcasts to each other like the other comments mentioned. There are only system apps running on my phone at all times, unless I specifically open other ones.

With “sensors off” toggled on, no GPS or auto-rotate, the only thing that triggers apps to open is changing networks or receiving a notification.

Use a Xbox 360 Kinect and Skanect software. You’ll need a power/USB adapter for it

I’ve heard the term used reffering the fetish about 3000x more than I’ve heard it used referring to a disability

Fair. “Far better than I was expecting for $30, but with limitations.” Can’t really scan anything less than about 4", but you can scan an entire room or car which is neat. My face came out really good.

I bought an old Xbox 360 Kinect and got surprising results out of it using Skanect

The true wizards embrace the cringe, and are free

Legitimately, where did you see that Android isn’t profitable?

Their heart is in the right place, but good luck doing anything about it

There’s a machinist I watch on YouTube that took a small hiatus and came back significantly more patriotic. He actually started to begin all his videos with the pledge of allegiance and I seriously thought he went off the MAGA deep end.

He eventually sat down and made a video about the sudden change: he said he hates the way that people nowadays claim to love America yet seek out to destroy the fundamental things that made it the way it is. He said the hardest working, most exemplary Americans he knows are the ones that came here from another country to make a better life for their family and community, and being a true patriotic American is lifting up your brothers and sisters through hard work and respect, to make our lives and our country a better place.

THAT is what patriotism looks like.

Jokes on them, I’m out of date anyway

And why should the average user care? They use Alexa and have the Facebook app installed anyway, this is just a drop in the bucket for all the other crap that tracks every movement anyway

Robocalls and robotexts are a serious problem that nobody takes seriously, and just treats as a fact of life when it doesn’t have to be that way. The rest of the world literally laughs at how much we’re harassed by them

There are no issues with the main Firefox branches for desktop and mobile, for the average user, not sure why you’re so against them.

There’s an Android app called “SleepTimer” that works with basically any app

Novalauncher 6.2.19, before they added telemetry

Hey you’re certainly welcome! I definitely appreciate these sorts of vibes 🥰

The Z value for G01 would be your layer height
