where did you read that?

that sounds good until laws are weaponized against freedom and normal people

but dont even go that far. you are now a criminal for saying something mean to a public figure on the internet, for jaywalking, for making a mistake in reporting your taxes, ...

this title sounds like something bad that's actually good. bravo neowin

To give you an example, if you have no water in your house you need to report on wp. No other way. And this is the standard for a lot of services, wp is the ONLY way to ask for support.

whatsapp requires phone numbers. surely they can be called

It's a nightmare, i really want to get rid of meta services but it is impossible for my case.

if you have tech skills, try running a matrix bridge for whatsapp for yourself. take it slowly if you need it, you are not in a hurry. your own server, federation off. keep using whatsapp as you did before, and check for a month or two if the bridge is running stable. subscribe to notifications for github releases of the bridge to know if there's an important update.
you won't be able to leave whatsapp behind, but at least you'll be able to get rid of its apps that do whatever that's not for your benefit

??

no. connecting it to the internet does not automatically mean using whatever websites that could infect you. be more cautious, limited web browsing and no public wifi, bluetooth off, and you will be fine.

I'm pretty sure that only works when rooted. maybe there are exceptions for a few phones

honestly, it's probably more than that. you don't just "tick a box" to send commercial packages to places.. like, did you hear about VAT?

bulky

who needs ultra slim phones? these are not bulky at all

and not good for privacy

what?

I think they weren't shipping, so people had to find a reseller or something like that

how the hell would Microsoft implement a ban on a Minecraft server that Microsoft doesn't host?

if a minecraft server wants to enforce verification of the game license, the server needs to be in contact with the authentication servers of microsoft. the server operator can turn this off, but then moderation becomes much harder, as usernane based banning becomes useless, and the paywall from ban evasion disappears.

other than that, in recent years there's something with chat message verification that I think involves sending some of the messages to microsoft? I don't remember exactly

but also the minecraft client could have a built in blacklist of servers. I don't know if it has but it's not much work.
a ban from the authentication server is probably easier though.

It's not as fancy. No graphs, blinking lights, paneled layout.

apparently it has it all

don't forget, any time you meet him

there's a quiz show on TV in my country. a few days ago they chose some marketing manager. they have dropped out at like the 3rd question, winning nothing. this is rare. Normally I'm cheering for players but I was gleeful for his loss.

as I understood you are complaining that they don't have a package manager. they do, but not for system software.

you did not read the article

bad idea by the company

In the recent months, there has been a noticeable shift away from the Windows desktop, as well as from macOS,

from macOS? what happened there?

or just the individual characteristics and flaws of the lens/sensor/postprocessing software, some of which can be unique per device, and potentially comparable to other photos made with it.

or any repair show that uses the brand specific diagnostic software, pirated or not
