Are these apps able to track location and accelerometer data from the background? Or does this only apply to people who open something like GasBuddy while driving the car?

Anton Yelchin was killed due to traumatic asphyxiation when he thought he parked his Jeep and got out of the car and it then rolled into him and crushed him against a gate. Arguably the blame falls on GM for building one of those stateless shifters that always pops back to the center.

Except for that time it was pointed at a major DNS provider[1] and pretty much killed a good chunk of the internet for the better part of a day.

The market is really difficult right now, most people don’t have the option to just find a remote work company. A significant amount of people who were laid off can’t find any company right now

I haven't used OneDrive but the iCloud Drive and Google Drive clients are similarly terrible. I one time had 5 GB of complex nested file structure in iCloud Drive and it totally froze up. I tried 2 different Mac's, an iPhone, and an iPad and none of them were able to sync up with the server to get those 5 GB out of the cloud. I had to request a GDPR to get a .zip file of my data... this was the impetus for me to switch to Dropbox although after the way they handled their layoffs I am looking to switch to Syncthing as soon as I have the time to set it up and get familiar.

Hence why I use Cryptomator to encrypt my data. Apparently OneDrive marks this as ransomware and sends you scary emails but does not lock your account. So far Dropbox does not seem to care about Cryptomator at all.

Edit: Not to defend Dropbox, but just saying there is a mitigation if you need it.

A loan from the bank is very different than a service or subscription with the manufacturer to me

agreed the 4a is still butter smooth but if you’re getting 2 days battery that’s very light use, not typical use.

And the 4a was known to perform better than the 4 for some reason, so I’m not surprised that people are getting rid of their pixel 4’s.

What 15 year old phone could your wife possibly still be using? Is it her main phone? I can’t even imagine rocking. 10 year old phone like the iPhone 5

The button became capacitive in the iPhone 7. I know because I had both the 6 and 7 and you can feel the difference. So 6 years not 8.

My concern with that these days is what if Samsung blocks his account? Now I’m not a Samsung customer but if I handed Google $1k and they gave me a dud I wouldn’t dare do a chargeback no matter what because the risk of loosing my Gmail and other services is too high. Same for Apple.

Consumers need more rights when it comes to termination of services that are borderline essential.

I can’t say for certain it literally spies on you, but the majority of pre installed apps on iPhone are still not removable (this has been gradually improving each year since like 2016).

Strictly speaking about repairability, yes. But in terms of performance, specs, camera, etc. Samsung / iPhone of 5 years ago is still ahead of the Fairphone and co
