I have found that most of the problems that have been around for a long time and whose solutions seem "so easy if only anyone would bother to do it", are not actually that easy once you actually think about it.

What exactly are you hoping to achieve by rooting your phone btw?

From what I know rooting used to make sense back in the 2015's when the Android market used to be littered with shitty OEM OS's filled to the brim with bloatware, ads and restricted functionality. Rooting or installing custom ROMs used to give a very tangible boost to performance in those times. But nowadays most OEMs (except the ultra-cheap Chinese ones) have settled down to a uniform stock-Android-like design with minor design tweaks, and hardware has also improved to the level that it's extremely rare to notice comparable lags. I know Motorola is one of those who prefer to keep their UI as close to stock Android as possible.

This will only remain as long as Valve's original leadership (and Lord Gaben) stays in place. Once the MBAs start taking over it will go to shit fast.

Ironic that I'm saying this, since I am an MBA myself.

The likes of FMovies and movie-web offer a virtually unlimited catalogue that contains everything you could ever stream, for free. And their streaming quality is almost always at par with Netflix, if not more. There is zero rational reason why anyone would turn to those "legit" streaming platforms if they know about them.

The only thing separating is app support on smart TVs. It's Game Over once TVs start allowing PWAs and ad-blocking browsers (do they already? I don't know).

He would've definitely made more even as a senior employee in early Microsoft, IBM or any of the big Corps. Linux exists solely because he made it a collaborative endeavour from the start.

Remote lock & unlock? It's literally been a feature of dumb cars since the 90s.

Those AI ones like Perplexity.ai, Kagi FastGPT and even Copilot (Bing Chat) give good results not just in the responses, but also in the links they return.

Where I come from, the engineering fields are dominated by men but medical fields have a female majority. I wonder what's the difference with medicine
