We should start with, what car do you have? Then we can figure out if it has an AUX port.

Also if this Nano has an original battery, you might want to replace it before it becomes bloated.

Lol. Some of these devices gives you have a choice of different frequencies. Mine had 4.

From this date, manufacturers will have to provide operating system and security updates for every smartphone or tablet for five years after the end of sales.

OS updates too? That's interesting.

I would've been fine with 2 years of security updates after 3 years of OS updates. OS updates do include security features but security updates are more important to the average consumer. Most people won't know what version of Android they are on. Most people wouldn't know if their 7 year old iPhone is no longer receiving updates.

Samsung willfully infringed US Patent Nos. 8,982,086, 10,176,848 and 11,017,815, a Texarkana jury determined Wednesday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The patents concern methods for systems for video, photo, reproduction and unlocking functions.

Bloomberg Law Link

8,982,086:

An information processing apparatus includes a touch panel which displays pieces of identification information including letters, figures, and symbols and detects a contact of the panel with a finger of a user or other object.

10,176,848:

In a recording and reproducing apparatus and a recording and reproducing method for the recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing image information on a scene obtained through photographing, relative to a predetermined first recording medium and being capable of setting one or more chapters to each scene, a face recognizing process is executed for a photographed image based on the image information, an importance level of each chapter is set in accordance with a result of the face recognizing process for a very important person (VIP) set by a user, and each chapter having a relevant importance level among importance levels of respective chapters is selectively reproduced.

11,017,815:

In order to provide a recording and reproducing device that allows a user to select and manage arbitrary play lists, a unit of management for managing all registered play list information and an upper management hierarchical level are added.

So Maxell has a patent on touch displays, object recognition in photography, and file management using "play list".

And that's only 3 of the patents I found... Wow...

Organic Maps had Kayak referral links since November 17, 2023.

After selecting some hotels, you can see an experimental "Details on Kayak" button that opens the Kayak website with photos and reviews about the selected hotel. If you make any booking using this button, Organic Maps receives a small referral bonus to fund the project development.

Is there any reason to use Ghostery with uBlock Origin?

Their README.md says soon but there isn't an official release yet. Looking at their Issues tab, they are doing a lot of work.

Build instructions are available. I am excited and might just do this:

What I meant is they don't care about people as people.

It's just a number to them.

If they can profit of millions dying and they know they could get away with it, they would.

Fight Club taught me the cost of human life to corporations.

If PredictedLawsuitLosses < CostOfRecall then RecallNotAnnounced

Human life doesn't factor in at all for them.

They will raise the price and dump it. It's an unregulated way for his billionaire friends to steal money from the people.

Makes sense. Paying for all those services would kill my ability to support other industries. Fair game.
