Google dialer?
Ad free, not slow, but collecting all possible data on your calls.
I like that it’s blocking the spam calls, I get 10 spam calls for each real call. Unfortunately that needs to send back to them all my phone calls with their caller id.
I hate how it shows the call log. It only shows the latest action ever for a number and doesn’t even show the time. This is especially infuriating when you need to see what time someone called. For example my doctor office called to move my appointment, then when I showed up they said that wasn’t true and wanted to charged me for a no-show. I wasn’t able to prove immediately that they called me on which day and at which time to move the appointment because the “simplified” call log only shows the latest call action which was that I called back several days after that.
Sure but we all know that 99% of people don’t change defaults.
Also, waiting for those updates that “accidentally” revert to the default
It changed my setting from disabled to enabled after the update
i have the feeling that a feature like this makes a very little money that compared to the millions that google gives to be the default is a drop in the ocean
probably this won’t be enough to even pay the CEO salary
I don’t understand what macron was thinking. If they got this result 3 weeks ago, rushing new elections with no time for an extended electoral campaign was going to get the same results, no?
I already tried to swap circuit boards in identical Seagate ide drives and not only it worked to recover the data but technically that windows 98 PC still boots today (I turn it on once a year because I have a very old SCSI film scanner that doesn’t work with newer stuff)
You should try the experience, I used ddrescue to create an image
No, I’m not paying for that
The money goes only to the seller, not to the cracker that worked hard just for the glory
I wouldn’t use those features even if they were available for everyone.
Why the hell do you need a pip window to watch a 30 seconds video while you do something else?
Why would you let the app automatically download garbage shorts that the algorithm decided that you are going to like
I’d also have accepted the money if I were him but at least I would have wrote a blog post explaining the situation, that now the apps are dead and controlled by a bad actor and need to get uninstalled as soon as possible.
Not almost denying it while continuing to get money on his Patreon from unaware users
I donated to the Tibor guy and I feel betrayed for how he managed the situation
It’s always a danger when a malicious company purchases a famous open source project.
Like that israeli adware company that bought simple mobile tools
Mondo TV makes copycat cartoons with bad storytelling, bad drawing and bad dubbing, to be sold in those €2 DVDs in the supermarket bargain bins
I have the feeling that half a million is the profit of a decade
Why the fuck are they using a cloud tts on an Android device??? Can’t they use on device tts?? Seems extremely stupid for no reason
It’s expensive. They are paying a fee to the third party tts provider each single time someone needs a response. They boast “no subscriptions” - that means those fees are paid only by new customer purchases. Ponzi 2.0
It’s fucking expensive. Elevenlabs tts voices costs thousands of dollars per month plus $0.18 per 1000 characters. Ask the history of a monument and the verbose result that the LLM regurgitated costs them $0.15. Are they banking on the fact that most customers would just shelf the device after a day?
It’s slower. Each time the device needs to reply, it needs to stream an audio file instead of a few bytes of compressed text
For the more realistic voices it’s only cheaper in the short term. I get it - they don’t like the robotic free voices and licensing a good closed source one costs money. But then you don’t need to pay the “cloud” forever. Did they plan to shut down shortly after the launch? Where the money for running each user in a VM is coming out? (I saw from a YouTube video that it looked like they were using a browser automation tool in a VM)
At this point since everything is run on the cloud (=somebody else’s computer) this could not only be a smartphone app, but a smartwatch app.
I wonder if they will just fold and do a rug pull now blaming the hackers or fix the problem.
Fixing the problem seems difficult for them - need to fully rewrite the app and having everything proxied through their authenticated server, increasing their expenses (and a rushed fix isn’t secure/tested). But their money comes only from new investors and new customers, and at this point I doubt that they can sell more units or scam more investors.
also, when you have 5g failover on the router and the fiber it’s down, it automagically continues to work without admin intervention
For me it was annoying enough to switch to android. I really felt like I had to use iCloud, forced through my throat. I have ocd and a red dot means “I need to open this app immediately RIGHT NOW to clear it” - and then your can’t clear it until you subscribe
it’s a dark pattern deliberately chosen to let people get annoyed and pay for icloud. On windows people instead will accidentally fill their onedrive account and that’s it. They won’t even know that they’re using it. It might send some scary emails like “your cloud backup is full!!!11 you gonna lose everything!!111” but those go directly in spam. Error messages in windows for regular users appear like “����� �������� �����������” - their eyes don’t have the right encoding to understand the message, so they just click OK and dismiss it. Instead, the red dot is prominent in the home screen of every iphone and bother also those that don’t read the error messages…
I had one of those NAS (NSA320). Even when they were new and suppoted they were using some ancient custom version of linux with ancient packages. It would be insane to expose them on the internet.
They never reinstalled OneDrive after an update… yet
(I hate how I have to uninstall useless shit after updates)
? under 150 euro the VAT is already automatically collected via IOSS, or it would be held at customs even if it’s declared as gift with 0€ value.
