Yeah.... Or it could be the complete opposite of all that.

Android / AOSP comes in many flavours from Swiss cheese give your life away security to locked down more than any apple device could be. IOS only comes in 1 flavour.

Well how else do you think navigation works?

Of course it's going to need data.

Google gets away with it by streaming the data.

Smaller 3rd party mapping companies don't have the infrastructure to do that so you download map packages.

That's how it worked before navigation devices had always on internet connections.

220mb for a city it really quite efficient, I wouldn't be complaining.

Wooooosh

I have already made that comparison, and still have found it double the price of other cases that you describe.

Cases from recycled materials should be cheaper, as they are don't having to purchase virgin material, not more expensive.

Anyone charging a premium for recycled material products is usually targeting and taking advantage of 'green' customers.

The ability to recycle most plastics in 2023 is pretty standard unless they're overly cleaning or bleaching the material, in which case it is no longer environmentally friendly.

I like the Fairphone 5 but €40 for a case is unforgivable.

I'm feeling like it's a gouge because they know not many (if any) 3rd party cases exist.

? The term Necro was invented by my generation, and ment resurrecting 6 month or so old forum post.

We're at a week here you angry little downvote magnet.

I suggest it might be you that needs the fresh air... I've clearly been away for a week having my share.

Yeah that sounds like modern Aussie.

They're trading on the reputation they had years ago. So many people blindly recommend them it's concerning.

It's a feature for payment processing. Aussie began using it about 5 or so years ago.

I have nothing against it generally.

But what it did do is switch my payments from Visa debit to a type of cardless EFTPOS cash out type transaction that incurred a fee with my backward bank.

Had I known they intended to change how they charge I'd have taken the card off file with them and used another method.

Aussie are already headed down the toilet. They changed his they billed me without asking and then denied it for 6 months. TIO complaint ensued where my desired outcome was an apology and that they would notify others before changing billing parameters.

TIO eventually left it with Aussie to sort and they refused to help.

It was an unusual situation, their change to least cost routing incurred transaction fees on my (very) small business account, which lead to issues with my subscription accounting package on a basic plan that had limited line items it could reconcile (about 10 per month I think).

It's a specifically shitty situation, but my setup at the time was reasonable given my circumstances.

Had Aussie told me they were switching I could have changed to direct debit, but remember, it took 6 months to figure out it was them while they denied it the whole time.

I do tech support on an occasional basis when I'm well, and even dismissing my past history with Aussie I still find them going down hill with regards to inflated pricing and slowing support.

Their support is still above average, but at the prices they're adding it bloody should be.

You didn't address anything I said, so my point stands un argued.

How's this for a fact. Not everyone aware MFF is known colloquially by some to refer to gender of participants in a sexual context. Non cowardly downvote to you for being an antagonistic ass.

On Firefox mobile it barely looks different... But what stood out was more bugs. Missing next page buttons and layout issues. So... Good job Reddit... LoL.

Hence why they have transmissions that ensure they're in a favourable RPM range at all times.

I hear there are cases where people need TPM, but I don't, and switching it off is a great way to avoid this crap.

Worst with trains

*looking at your daughter's vagina.

That's true, but also dumb at the same time.

The benefit of reduced drag applies regardless of mode of propulsion.

So really, it's complexity for complexity sake.

You ever played Receiver?

Not quite John wick but if you like gun handling it's worth a look.

You just described ARMA3 with some mods.

I remember being tossed in the deep end when the mods were new to me. Having to diagnose and treat gunshot wounds, inject morphine, run fluids etc... even CPR, certain medics could do transfusions, match blood types etc.

Was kinda frightening for a PC game... And often all of this was under enemy fire.

The enemy would be injured, shot, concussed, knocked unconscious, lose blood etc. the potential existed for them to regain consciousness after a while and if you hadn't removed their weapons they could fire in you. Surprised the shit out of people not used to these mods... Always had to check downed hostiles.

Shut up and take my money.
