- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 4 weeks ago:
This is why the sales of cargo pants are up.
- Comment on Since the government can theoretically access the location of everyone's phone, wouldn't it be unsafe for an undocumented immigrant to have a phone? 3 months ago:
This depends on your (privacy) laws. The phone operators (and in all fairness, a lot of app developers) have access to the phone’s location.
If the government doesn’t need a warrant, and they can just ask for the location information at Apple or Google (or, for example Meta or X if those apps have location tracking permissions turned on), they could in theory find anyone they like at any time.

- Comment on What are your opionions on fortnite? 6 months ago:
Friend of mine played enemy territory competitively. They turned the graphics all the way down so grass and smoke didn’t get in the way of their field of vision.
- Comment on is there a trustworthy SMS MMS app for Android that's not Google? 6 months ago:
The problem with rcs is that it needs to work without a data connection like sms. For that to work, every single mobile operator needs to support it and route it. For that to work they need to work together. The problem is they don’t and there are different implementations, some don’t support it at all. Even when they do, the phone needs to support it. Google is now at a point where they have rcs capable messaging on every recent Android version. Apple is now also integrating rcs into iOS. They are circumventing the operator problem by enabling rcs over wifi or your subscription data. But that’s a workaround, because it requires data, while sms just requires a cellphone signal. Until operators start working together to enable and relay rcs messages, Google and Apple habe the monopoly by having rcs routed directly to their messaging apps over the internet instead of directly to the device like sms does.

It feels like the ewok movies all over again. Giving it the benefit of the doubt, but I am not hopeful based on this trailer.
