Thanks for the insight :)

Excuse my ignorance and correct me if I’m wrong

But does the play store not do some sort of scanning itself?

I understand the developer may be known and trusted

But I do not have the expertise to do my own thorough code review

Play store link for those weary of installing random APKs

They had to have known about it for a while too.

So they sat and let the devs get it to a finished state only to pull this

Been driving me crazy

Is a joke, but wasn’t sarcasm so didn’t include/s

Pretty sure Joe Rogan said it’s impossible to do today…

That’s great that the rest of the world moved on. That doesn’t mean that those of us in locations that haven’t moved on have to use the most inferior version of messaging.

More awful than sms?

My guy, I never said whether you should trust them or not. I simply said “whether or not you trust Apple.” That is up for you to decide

Oh I thought it was just to get some extra juice out of the batteries, thanks for the info

Depends how cynical you want to be and whether or not you trust Apple.

They claimed to slow things down so the aging batteries could run for close to as long as they could when they were new

IIRC, in the original showoff years ago, it would just deliver to a common area that you can walk to to pick it up.

In the event that you’re not home to pick it up, I would hope there is some sort of scheduling option?

Still using my 6 Pro, the back glass is scratched to hell and back and covered in smudges

Yes, I know I can take better care of it, but at the end of the day, glass is glass

Looks miles better to me

Garmin is the way to go.

Their hybrid models are chefs kiss

Newish into the workforce, junior role

My current schedule allows me to work when I want, so long as I work 40 hours over the course of the week. I’ve settled into an 8-4 schedule and work while I eat.

We are now switching to a condensed work schedule where every other Friday will be off.

As a result we are expected to work 9 hour days (reasonable) but also required to take a 1 hour lunch away from our desk.

Which is a fraction of a fraction of Android users.

I’m all for de Googling if that’s what tickles your fancy, but ask anyone on the street and they’ll have no idea what you’re talking about

Edit: This also allows Google to push some of these features to older devices which may not ever see another system update

Not the small pocket on jeans, but I do have some pants and shorts that have a small pocket fully inside the other pocket that I like to put my keys in

Keeps them from rattling around and scratching things
