This sounds an awful lot like the PS3 OtherOS class-action lawsuit that Sony had to pay out on.

Usually they camp it in language where they are only able to cut one check (company policy of one check per PO, for example), but they need to pay two people, you and another facilitator such as a transport service. The extra money is to pay for the transport service, which is actually also the scammer.

Yes, feelings are when you think something works in a certain way without facts to back it up. Like the opinion that strict policing reduces crime. It’s a common opinion, but not one that is consistent with the facts.

Do you think that Oakland, Chicago, and Detroit do not have police? Those cities have very harsh police departments and it’s not reducing crime. What those cities do have in common is a high poverty rate when geographically controlled and above average poverty rates for the US without even taking geography into account.

What do I want? I want to make changes that comport to the facts of the world, not people’s feelings.

That’s an interesting opinion. Unfortunately, the facts don’t quite align with your feelings.

it’s imperative that we have strong police forces throughout the country to minimize crime

Why do you believe this? Police forces as they exist today aren’t even as old as the US. Sure, the US wasn’t a bastion of freedom upon its founding but that wasn’t due to a lack of police. The absolute biggest factors for controlling neighborhood level crime are increasing public education and reducing the effects of poverty.

I don’t think people understand how big, and free the US is. Whenever you get something like this, strict law enforcement is not only needed, it’s required.

And this is the weirdest take right here. Freedom and strong, strict police forces are inversely related by definition. One could even point to the origin of many police departments as opposition to freedom.

I personally really like StartAllBack. I just want a clean classic Windows experience.

We did that in the 90s while they were still new. See: The Toxic Avengers.

Honestly, I feel like they’ve made side loading easier and easier as times go on. Used to be that you’d just get a pop up that installs weren’t authorized for that app, then you had to dig through the settings to enable it. Nowadays the pop up has a shortcut to the correct settings page and even visually flashes the right toggle for you to make it easier to find.

As an avid reader of comics in digital form, I would love to try one of the color e-ink displays. But with the Boox Note Air3 C starting at $500 it is nowhere near what I would consider worth it just yet.

The TI equivalent to the Casio fx-115ES Plus is the TI-36X Pro, and they both cost $20 at Walmart.
