Smartphones are common targets for thieves because they contain valuable personal data and fetch high prices on second-hand markets. To protect this data, Android includes theft protection features that lock down a stolen phone. While thieves might try wiping phones they intend to sell, Android already has robust protections against unauthorized factory resets. Google announced today that these factory reset protections will become even more powerful later this year.

Self-contradicting much?

These justifications are pointless anyway, everybody knows that google and only google has the right to rummage through your data.

“We will not allow you to reset the data until we can confirm that the data is yours”

Wtf kind of lazy attempt to normalize nuclear war is this, uk??? Jesus tapdancing christ

Damn antisemites are everywhere!

Not sure if gog has anything to do with privacy. Altho if it was on the list I imagine it’d be up there with steam ( not sure why that one’s on the list either )

The “sovereignists” had about 30% of the parliament already, but I imagine it was the decision to cancel the first set of elections that tipped the scales. Heard of plenty of people that decided to vote Simion out of sheer spite after that stunt.

About as fair as you can hope for in this country, I suppose. I imagine the large parties pulled all the stops and still couldn’t grab more than 20%. And I know they didn’t covertly support Simion (yet) because last night they were pissed.

He’ll probably sit on 40% of the votes by the end of the count. It’s pretty fuckin grim.

Yup. Kadikoy in Istanbul

So now can we please get the other games that were supposed to launch in autumn?

OP updated the image. Latest one definitely looks like a naked neck

Yea, pretty sure this is AI gen

Next year is a mayoral election year, so all this feels like political posturing to me. I don’t doubt that the “diesel lobby” wasn’t pleased with her changes, but the way she tells it smells like victimization. Also having a car-less approach to running a city is not exactly controversial in the year of our lord 2025. There are a lot of cities that pioneered car-less city design before she got into office ( altough in her defense, this kind of change may be harder to implement in extra large metropolitan areas like Paris ). Oh, and another thing: she’s been in office 11 years and traffic-wise the city hasn’t changed much outside the central touristy areas. You’d think she could’ve done a lot more in that kind of time. I go through the city every now and then and I feel the only thing that changed is the growing number of trikes and motorcycles on the periferiques. Maybe someone from Paris can chime in on her actual accomplishments?

Ooh, I’m getting this. Everspace 2 was a great game and in my mind a true spiritual succesor to Freelancer.

Yes, I’m sure they’re the first and this is totally not a paid article.

Problem is folks won’t move, they’re too entrenched. Look at twitter, it’s still going ok despite having been a cesspit for years now. Or reddit, where some moved, but they moved to yet another enshittified platform: Discord. The amount of crap people ( especially the ones on discord ) will put up with is immense before they even consider switching.

Are HMDs really more repairable? Most recent phone they had that tried to be repairable was Skyline and even there it was pretty limited. And btw that one didn’t have a jack either.

Man, I remember seeing this as a kid in an 1982(1980?) edition of the german AutoKatalog and it friggin blew my mind. It felt so out of this world.

I’d be tempted to say this is good news, but I bet it’ll end up being just another tax on poor nations.

Edit: amusing how these days “all major nations” does not include US anymore

I know it’s cool to hate on this game, especially with it being so mediocre, but to me the number is fairly meaningless by itself. I wonder how that 2 million budget compares to other large releases ( say Starfield, since it’s pretty clear that bethesda also pumped a lot of money into the “gaming press”)

It’s not just perception, it’s mindless tribalism and it’s a form of bigotry in itself. It’s no better than doing things to “own the libs” or whatever.

And the irony, some express this attitude on lemmy, which unlike signal is an actual platform, not a chat app, and with tankie roots to top it off.

It is what it is, I suppose.
