Williams evidently recorded a 7 minute long rant about staying committed to performing despite the pressure to drop, while pooping.

We are Flowers for Algernoning our technology.

If I use my phone (not android Auto), I can no longer say, “Navigate to <place>”. It flat out does not work.

Navigate to Local Bakery Xyz.

I’m sorry I can’t do that.

(It tries to open the non-existent app for the local bakery).

If I’m in the car that has android auto, it refuses to let me type while in drive (fair enough) and it recognizes the “Navigate to…” Instructions, but if I click on the Maps nav bar for voice and say my destination (it literally says, no text while driving speak your destination)… It tries to open the app.

This shit used to work, it’s getting actively dumber.

This morning I got fed up and asked,

“Can I use you to navigate somewhere?”

Sure! Where would you like to go?

“Dutch Bros”

(Opens the Dutch Bros app)

I’ve seen them used less for privacy and more for getting around permissions/limitations on controlled systems like work laptops. (That’s assuming work devices haven’t locked down or disabled USB drives.)

More often than not, there will still be some artifacts left over, whether it’s recently access files or terminal history that indicates a portable device/app was used.

If you’re looking at USB things specifically designed for privacy, something like Tails is where it’s at.

You can find pixels on swappa and not give Google your money.

I’m looking for a Pixel 9 Pro as an upgrade for my existing 7 Pro and it’s cheaper used (obviously).

I’d be happy with just installing full blown Linux on my pixel a la graphene.

Surely this Pixel 7 Pro has enough oomph to do some of my games.

You have to remember, conservatives somehow can wildly object to multiple things in the GOP platform but still vote R up and down the ticket as long as they agree with just one thing.

Pro-life? Better vote for the pro-life people who are all about zero gun control, mandatory death sentences, and no government supported prenatal care - not to mention fucking over immigrant kids/splitting up families!

Love hunting with guns? Better vote for the gun loving people who also want to sell off our national forests, remove all environmental protections, and privatize our parks.
