You wanted to play a documentary or a game? Of course the player character solves important things

Try being in one of the many countries where whatsapp is the only path to get service from companies (banks, utilities, etc).

Even better, try living a modern life as a tourist abroad without a phone number. You can't get transportation, even public (and there is no physical payment option), you can't order delivery, you can't pay with credit cards online because you need to auth with sms. Everything requires an account and everything requires sms.

It's not just about privacy of your personal texts. People are putting entire societies in the hands of tech/telecom and demanding we identify through unsecure methods. Having a smartphone with a phone number and whatever is the main local app is now mandatory. Single point of failure everywhere.

Fireship maybe? It is not that complicated, they just make a good cheap AI and big tech is panicking because they can only make good expensive AI

I took it as "don't pretend we don't have censorship too"

If it was 42h a month then it would start being concerning. 21 days, 1h each way - still good considering the suburbanization of many places.

However, if they are just mentioning time in a traffic jam, not time rolling, then it gets bad

Fala umas opcoes boas ai, nao fabricadas na china, de:

  • extensao eletrica
  • adaptador de tomada
  • tv que da pra fazer reparo
  • celular com bateria removivel
  • air frier
  • lampadas
  • arvore de natal (Pensando nas coisas que comprei nos ultimos tempos)

Sim, tem bens duraveis de marcas boas, mas 90% das coisas hoje em dia sao consumiveis. A maioria das coisas tem peças de plastico que quebram e voce fica na mao, ou eletronicos que nao se acha mais depois de 2 anos, ou feito de um jeito que é impossivel abrir sem danificar mais.

Quando possivel eu compro coisas de qualidade mais alta, mas é mais pelo desempenho que uma expectativa de durabilidade.

Isso ai é mimimi americano.

Nao é boicotando os chineses que a situação de trabalho vai melhorar.

Como outros apontaram, varias empresas de primeiro mundo fazem a mesma coisa (ou compram dos chineses que fazem coisa errada e revendem).

O que me preocupa mesmo é a falta de opcoes de qualidade para certas coisas. Produtos duráveis, com baterias substituíveis, peças novas, etc.

No mercado atual, entre comprar algo chines barato e ruim ou algo americano caro e ruim, nao faz sentido nao comprar o chines

You said some control works well, so it might not be your case, but i will leave the info here for others too.

Make sure your display is set to low latency like a "game mode", otherwise you get massive input lag

Microsoft having IE/Edge as the default browser has already cost them in the past. I don't think Apple faced anything with Safari.

The problem today with chrome is how prevalent it is and how that influences the main product of the internet (advertising), which happens to be Google's mais product too. Apple can at least make the argument that they make their money with the hardware, not the browser.

Either way, I think all OS should at least give you a list of browsers on first use to choose from.

Btd6 is the most well maintained td game out there, super competitive, and you pay like 1 dollar once and can have literally everything unlocked. You only pay for cheats to use in single player. It is one the best monetization I have seen in a game.

But you do you, I guess
