Well that may work for you. My goal was slightly different. I needed official apps for work. My goal was to have a work phone that was completely disconnected from my private life. Graphene and sideloaded app would not have worked for me.
I tried this. I bought a phone with cash, bought a prepaid SIM with cash and a google play card with cash.
Used a throwaway email address, and I could not get the play credit into the account.
I even opened a support ticket with google and they could not help.
I am an IT professional and quite adept at navigating technical bureaucracy and wasn’t able to do it completely anonymously.
My guess (and it’s just a guess, i could be very wrong) is there is some internal, undocumented check that the account has been tied to a real person before it allows credit onto the play store.
If someone has had success doing this I’d be quite interested in hearing about their experience.
Well, that’s fine, I’m betting he’d have a bad day as well if he tried.
well that’s like, your opinion, man.
I am absolutely not advocating rudeness to the cashier.
Give them the opportunity for malicious compliance.
Allow them to answer every question and have a pleasant break from the monotony, knowing full well that they are being cheerful and helpful just like the training videos and handbook demand they be.
Cool assumption bro. Hope that works out for you.
I am never rude to the poor people that have to work retail. I know the pain; I have been on the other side of the counter.
What I’m talking about is malicious compliance.
They tell the cashiers to push the program and be helpful? Fine. I will let that cashier be the most helpful employee ever and at the same time gum up the company data collection system with fake information.
At the same time as more punshment to the company they will see reduced sales and throughput requiring additional cashiers (more hours/pay for those people).
But please bring on the fake internet point brigade.
I didn’t say to be rude to the cashier. They make hourly wage, doesn’t matter how many people they check out.
Make the company pay. Cause less product to be sold per hour. Cause more cashiers to be required. Make it more expensive to have the data collection program than to not have it. Be the change you want to see in the world.
Or just let them get away with it. Your call.
Give fake information every time. Waste the cashiers time with questions. Make them pay for it.
Yes, Brio scale, not Brio brand.
Definitely coordinate with the parents, not only to find what your nephew’s interests are but also so no gifts are duplicated.
If they don’t have advice or you can’t ask for some reason, Brio scale trains, construction equipment, emergency vehicles, dinosaurs and generic toys are usually a good bet, they don’t usually understand or care about brand names or franchises yet.
Sure. It might. But no other opposing views were explored. Suggesting anything other than an amyloid plaque targeted drug ended careers.
That’s not okay.
amyloid plaque crowd: UwUpsie! :blush:
can u burn a luigi board?
Can you just make some symlinks in usr/lib and usr/include? Or am I just not understanding the problem correctly?
Domains have restrictions based on the rules of their registrar, that may be mandated by the government of the associated country.
Some old examples are .gov, .mil, .edu. - I believe that only US Government entities can register with .gov - Not just federal entities but also state and local entities. For example. https://www.sf.gov/ is the San Franscisco City Government site. I’ve also seen things like https://abcab.ca.gov/ that actually use the hierarchy that was originally intended to exist in domain names. Similarly, .mil is for US military organizations.
.edu must be an accredited institution located in the United States, for example https://harvard.edu/.
If you’re in the United Kingdom, you can get a .uk domain, and there appear to be special subdomains with specific use, for example, colleges and universities are .ac.uk, although I don’t know the specific details
.com, .net, .org, .info, .biz are all free-for-alls and no one cares if a commercial entity registers a .org or vice-versa.
Trust any information you find on the internet as much as you trust the author. If you don’t know personally know the author, well, then, how much do you trust random strangers on the street handing you fliers?
You can read more history on gTLDs at the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_top-level_domain
I don’t need pubic har in my face.
Speak for yourself.
Doctors in the US never ever prescribe herbs or supplements. On rare occasions when you have a legitimate vitamin deficiency, verified by blood work, they will prescribe medical grade vitamin tablets, from a pharmacy that has actually tested the vitamin content of the product. Vitamin D deficiency is quite common, and while rare, scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) can happen if someone is malnourished.
My doctor has told me on more that one occasion that herbal supplements are completely unregulated, many don’t contain even a bit of the claimed herb, and sometimes have legitimately harmful plants mixed in, as if someone just gathered a bunch of weeds, dried and ground them up.
So you admit that I’m the one with the correct concept of a phone?
Also the fire alarm battery was dead, and the entire thing was an analogy anyway.
Either way out of courtesy, I will retire from this battle of wits; it appears you’ve come unarmed.
Oh, so if there’s a fire in the building I should quietly slip a note under your door and assume you got it?
My fishbone antenna and local VHF/UHF stations are positively offended at not being called the “traditional” TV. Now get off my lawn!!!
