By not having “None of the above” or an “Other” allowing you to fill in the blank, instantly discards this data as viable. which makes this question pointless to even answer, let alone ask.

Money. Simple as that.

I don’t like kids because they are loud, smelly, and annoying.

My sentiments. Also, being on the spectrum doesn’t help. I do not have the capacity. I would be a terrible parent.

• A misconfigured server can download a file instead of executing it. A common result of failing PHP is to download the page. If you open it with a text editor, you’ll see the PHP code that was supposed to be rendered. It’s a decentralized community. Perhaps the server you’re browsing is having an issue. This very likely to be the real reason.
• It can be a symptom of a Local MITM attack. As in your device or browser is compromised.

How is it deceptive? No plex pass on the server? No remote streaming.

There’s virtually no improvement. We see a 6th gen at least once a week. That’s no different than the 5th gen. I will admit the 4th gen is the least reliable of the last three generations mentioned here.

Every single generation of flip or fold, someone has came in after release day with a dead screen. The issue has always been a result of the hinge damaging the screen. The opening action alone is enough to damage cables or the panel itself.

Because screen replacement involves replacing the entire frame (we transplant the board only), we have to have the correct color frame in stock. If we don’t, it’s just a matter of whether or not we can order the correct color. And if we can’t you’re sending it to Samsung. They do not allow us to order the special/exclusive colors.

As a note here: flip and fold models have a battery on each side. If you’re unfortunate and have a battery expand on the side that has an outer screen and it cracks, you’re replacing the frame and outer screen. The batteries come with the frame. Samsung does not allow individual replacement due to how the batteries are paired.

I work for a company that repairs these. The Flip and Fold phones have been riddled with issues since day one.

They’re literally plastic screens. Over time the crease on the screen where the hinge is will get so deep that Samsung’s required “screen protector” will no longer adhere. If you close the phone and the hinge decides to break, you can never open it a full 180 again. If you accidentally open it all the way too fast, you will literally rip the screen off the frame. The weak point is hinge which could lead to a thick black line across, or upper or lower portions malfunctioning. One day you may open the phone and it’s unresponsive to touch. Screens randomly fail all the time and either display static or nothing at all.

Samsung knows the failure rates and how they’re problematic. Any physical damage on the phone will void your warranty. If it’s the tiniest scratch, warranty void. Not kidding. I see Samsung deny them left and right. If you remove the pre-applied screen protector and replace it with your own, warranty void. They literally record how many times they’ve been dropped. If the count exceeds an acceptable value, warranty void.

In terms of outright failure across all phone brands and models, the flips and folds are #1. Behind that is the A series. But those are cheap so it’s expected.

Please purchase insurance for it if you can. It will save you at minimum $400 on a screen repair.

Even if you do get a copy with ads, it’s trivial to remove it yourself. You can use Handbrake and specify chapter times. Chapter start at open credits. Chapter end just before the ad roll. Chapter start after ad roll. Chapter end at the end of the video.

TeamSpeak is doing an overhaul to be similar to Discord. You can self host.

If you have any intent to play with Android OS variants or the stock OS, don’t buy Verizon devices. Ever. They will not give you the decryption key or unlock key.

Apple, Google, Samsung and Motorola all sell devices on their websites as full price or up to 36 month financing. You can get them carrier unlocked. Motorola and Google offer bootloader unlocking should you want to.

This feels personal because I’m literally in the exact situation. Lmao

I was going to post this exact reasoning but you beat me to it.

It’s an industry security standard. Not a defect. If you don’t agree with it, fork the software and modify it to suit your needs.

Some self hosted services refuse to work if you use a self signed certificate with your public facing IP. They only allow self signed certificates when using one of the handful of private addresses.

Some apps on mobile devices for the service you use won’t work unless a trusted certificate is used. A self signed certificate behind the scenes creates an error that isn’t handled and you can’t connect.

You lose the ability to have a proxy in front to handle abuse so your server is spared the headache. You need a domain to do this.

TLS.

While technically you can use TLS with a self signed certificate, it creates additional problems with a public facing service. Only recommended for internal services.

Easily 5+ years old. This exact image was posted on Reddit three years ago. GPM shutdown in 2020. I can’t find the original page on Digital Music News for this image (source text)

I use a self hosted playback tracker.

The top 3 were matching for self hosted and Spotify, but the last two in the top 5 were completely different. No matter which way I sorted it (time vs plays), the self hosted tracker was correct.

Call of Duty was one of them. Disc contained less than 100mb of data. You still had to download the entire game. If you bought it to only play a campaign offline, too bad.

This is so far from the truth.

The real reason is cars are heavier. The more weight, the more wear on the tires. You can only make a tire compound so hard before they become uncomfortable rolling chunks.

In the 70s when the fuel crisis hit, cars were very inefficient. Heavy steel and heavy engines that guzzled field. As the technology has progressed we use composite materials to make them lighter where we can. Some of these materials are more expensive than others, so you won’t find them on all models. Magnesium and Carbon fiber for example. We started to make cars lighter.

Then there’s features, creature comforts, etc. We started adding more and more fancy features over time. These all add up. Heavy sound deadening pads are placed all over the bare chassis. Rip up your car’s carpet, underneath you’ll find them. They’re in the door and behind the dashboard. There’s even foam in the A, B and C pillars. We figured out that we can make cars quieter. Now that we can make them quieter, let’s add a lot of creature comforts. Power, heated seats and mirrors. Power windows, powered lift gates, and anything else that’s powered. These require electric motors. Not sure if you’ve ever seen these electric motors, but these are actually quite heavy little things. A few speakers is now almost a dozen in many models. Lots of trim pieces that make the car more aesthetically pleasing add weight.

Safety is a huge factor as well. One or two airbags has turned into about a dozen. Extra beams that are used to dissipate energy around you in a crash. My car has 8 alone for just the front driver and passenger.

Got a hybrid or an EV? These absolutely demolish tires because the additional components adds a lot of weight.

Even though we got better at making composite materials and reducing weight where we could, our need for creature comforts and advancement in technology has caused the overall trend for a car’s weight to go up. This information is readily available if you’d like to search the Internet.

A set of tires wear endurance has only gone up over time. But because of a car’s weight, it reduces its ability. Your driving habits also greatly impact how long your tires will last. Do you have a Rivian or Tesla? Go easy on the acceleration and showing off with the spirited driving. You can make your tires last less than 10,000 mi. Do you add additional weight? How long is that additional weight being hauled around? In other words, if your trunk is full of stuff, clean it out. You’re increasing fuel consumption and increasing tire wear.
