The industry average is roughly 20% in the first year. And then 5% to 15% every year after. Heavily depends on the brand, model and market conditions. Cult cars like the Tacoma, Wrangler, WRX, and MX5, hold their value well. Whereas high selling, popular cars like the 2013 - 2017 Ford Escape tanked hard. I remember reading an article about that one and it was only worth a couple grand after 5 years.

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.

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.

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.

Client is enabled by default too. Only server is disabled.

Except it’s not perfect for gaming. If you happen to have titles purchased through the Xbox/MS storefronts, you won’t be able to play them. The version of windows you speak of lacks three critical system packages that allow UWP based games to work. Xbox Identity Provider, TCUI, and speech to text (some games rely on that for accessibility). If you file any bug report or ask for support from the development, they’ll discard your ticket when they look at logs (unsupported OS). You also gimp yourself on feature sets.

I was under the impression that Tahoe translates to “big water” which is funny.

But “Tar pit Tar pit”, “Way Way” and “Desert Desert” are indeed infuriating.

Adobe used to house all the licensing mechanisms in a single file named amtlib.dll. The people who cracked it just nulled out the function. And since it was the same for every piece of software, just repeat the null process for each one. Bam, the entire suite for free.

When Adobe switched from CS to CC subscription, it was cracked in 24 hours. Largely because they didn’t change much.

Adobe then axed the crippling DLL file and baked the mechanism right into the executable. A patcher tool was released that could crack each one. The upside is you could install and keep them updated from the CC Desktop and just run the patcher each time. Sometimes you had to wait for an update to the patcher. So before you clicked “update” you had to double check to make sure it worked.

To stop the free trial abuse (which is how people installed anyway) Adobe started requiring billing information during setup before you even get to downloads.

Later on, Adobe prevented users from updating apps if there wasn’t an active subscription.

The patcher eventually stopped working because it was abandoned (this around 2019 when I gave up using it because Resolve and Affinity were more affordable and met my needs.) Months later someone else picked up the patcher development. There’s also pre-cracked versions you can download and install.

I’ve not touched Adobe since and find Resolve to be significantly more stable and at $300, much more affordable. The Affinity Photo and Designer apps are great and affordable too at $170 for the bundle.

An out of the box OS should include a browser. Microsoft takes a ham-fisted approach, however, Apple makes it entirely possible to uninstall Safari. You do have to jump through the hoop of disabling System Integrity Protection to remove it, but it’s simple as trashing the app and deleting the data. I speak from experience. Very easy to do.

Absofuckinglutely not

Looooool.

Even if you live in an area where busses are, they’re slow and limited routes. Times are often inconvenient to work schedules. 1h 30m by bus, 50m biking, 3h 10m walk. A drive to work takes me 15 mins on average.

The hubris the man had was so perfectly demonstrated in his interview.

“There’s a rule you don’t do that. Well I did.”

And now he’s dead.
