Fuck Sony overpriced crap. I'm still salty with their v2 update that damaged the battery.

Sorry, you might have misunderstood my point. The long processing time is "fine" if it happens at all. The issue I'm trying to bring up is that in most cases these acts end without real consequences or punishment, so any greedy newcomer repeats it.

Example of what I'd like to happen: Euro Parking contract will not be renewed, and the company will be banned for 10 years to have any contracts with TfL or any other agency.

Set precedent by law, not just a slap in the wrist, so they think twice instead of writing it off as a business expense.

OK, we have all the details, wrong doers, and corrupts. When can we expect them to be held legally accountable?

I vouch for Syncthing as well. I enabled storing in my own remote hosting provider marking it as untrusted, so my files are encrypted there.

They're not oblivious, they just don't care because they know there won't be any consequences. And those few who dare to say anything are "antisemite" for not supporting genocide.

I'm not sure if you're referring to just the functionality of being able to pay by tapping the phone, but there's Google Pay, which does exactly that and is mostly accepted wherever apple's solution is accepted. It works in any Android phone with NFC.

The reason they put this kind of limits is to protect the income (of coming?) companies. Nobody wants pesky people growing their own stuff, but spending taxable money. Even nicer "for everybody" if the initial money comes from lobbying companies paying for the law to be favorable to them.

Glad to know. 2-3 years is a good lifetime, especially when compared against keeping the phone unused and stored in a drawer.

The camera is on all the time

That's what I meant: I don't know (as in I have zero clue) the camera is designed to operate that way. Is a naive assumption on my side and I'd be glad to learn this is not the case.

PIR sensor

No, I didn't expect a sensor, that's what I tried to say: the hardware is not there, so (on my mind) a constant image analysis/monitoring would be necessary in order to perceive movement and start recording, as in writing video to storage.

Cuz 'merican vampires.

The day (North) American people realize: they live just to feed corporations' greed, lobbying is just legal bribery, their government doesn't give a flying fuck about them, most developed countries' offering and protection is miles further away from what they have... they won't do shit. Because the system works as it's intended to. Maybe ask to bring American freedom to America? 🦅 🇺🇸
