I guess YMMV. I have 6 lines and I’ve traded in phones worth $200 on eBay for $1200 credit which is insane. I’ve never had them say they were damaged and do any bullshit. In fact I traded in my mom’s barely functional iPhone 13 like 5 months ago for a 17 pro which ended up being kike $2 a month for 2 years.

Which I get that’s their plan, keep you on their network with credits over 2 years. But I’ve never had a problem over a decade so I’ve never cared. I’m in a magenta plus plan so maybe I’ll call to see tomorrow.

But I’m just saying, I had nothing but good things with them. Not saying others haven’t, or they e never tried pulling some bullshit, just that I personally haven’t experienced it over a decade.

I just want Clippy back. He pissed me off so much in Office Docs, I didn’t appreciate what I had at the time. RIP you little bastard, you can show me how to use periods anytime you want 😭

Yeah right. The CCP is probably the most decitful government in the world. As bad as the US government is (and it is) the CCP follows through with nothing. I thought it was pretty funny that they had American flags all over, it’s illegal every other day if the year.

Yeah, you know those marketing team people. They totally went out of their way to make more work for themselves to change it with I’m sure zero instructions from higher up to do so.

Why would anyone care to have a power plant near them? The last one in the US that failed was almost 50 years ago. I’m not saying there can’t be accidents, but they’re pretty safe. You’re like 1,000,000x more likely to die on your commute to work.

Yeah, even if they’re being legit with them that’s WAY to easy to get accused of something.

They won’t. Things will unfortunately get worse before getting better. Right now people have to much to lose. Eventually they won’t, and people will actually standup for themselves.

For real. It tell you the people voting for this dip shit. He already scammed millions after he lost to Biden with “Stop the steal” or whatever it was called.

Plays the world smallest violin

Not trying to be an ass here, but why the fuck would Google care about Chinese ILLEGALLY accessing the world internet. They shouldn’t even be on it in the first place according to big daddy pooh. China is a utopia according the the CCP, they don’t need to access the evil Internet.

Hey, it works! I’m running a 5800x and don’t plan on touching a thing unless I need to.

Especially in the Midwest during winter.

Not even close. It’s destroying the bullshit lies they’ve been building for the last 20 years. You’ll bitch either way, your house burns down because they’re lying about a USB C charger being safe, or the price goes up $5 or less.

I don’t blame them at all, China lies a shit ton about everything. Building safety, Covid deaths, GDP, hell they draw their new borders in crayon. And no one calls them out because if you do, your ass is black bagged, period. They have no freedom of speech to contest anything, there are no non CCP run newspapers or TV news programs.

The US companies go there because they know the shit product will “pass” certification there, or they can pay money to make it pass. The entire country is basically driven by bribes. Hell it’s customary there to brib…I mean “gift” your surgeon at a hospital money so you have a higher chance to survive.

I watched Gamers Nexus where they tested those Chinese made GPUs. They were absolutely shit, and weren’t even half of what they claimed.

But then we wouldn’t have the amazing AI no one asked for or uses!

This is why I bought a year old GTI and not a new one a few years ago. It was the last year with REAL gauges, REAL buttons, ect. I don’t want that shit on my car, especially a performance one.

Yes, you side load it. Even morohious that patches the apps on your phone that are signed. You still need to side load the initial app.

Yep. I have a Ine Plus 15 with one. 7,400 man, I can barely kill it in a day if I’m trying. Just using it, it’s like 2-3 days. Also not being a pure silicone battery (less than 15%) it still has awesome cycles and 120w charging, 80w wireless charging.

I feel like this is common knowledge? Theres a reason Nancy Pelosi (as an example) net worth is equivalent to her working as speaker of the house for something like 2,000 years.

If you think ANYTHING owned by FB is “secure” you had this coming
