Yeah other commenter was incorrect. They’re sold with only a basic collection of first-party apps (even the carrier locked devices, so far).

To get one with third-party apps pre-installed requires special provisioning meant for employee work phones. (If you come across one of these in the wild, ask the seller to reset in front of you. If the bloatware remains, odds are the device was recently stolen.)

I commute in a similar looking but less insulated Columbia Watertight II (Gray, M) and the sleeves are at least 2 cm longer than any other shell I’ve owned (a pleasant surprise for someone with long arms).

It’s narrower at the waist than the torrentshell but similar at the hip, not as insulating but lighter, and it’s a bit stiffer material (e.g. headwind doesn’t press it against your skin as much as slinkier shells). This style of jacket isn’t specialized for cycling so it does bunch a bit in the front and could ride up in the back if your stance is low. And the hood isn’t removable to accommodate a helmet, so you sometimes have to shake the hood out at the destination.

But it’s dry, comfortable, and has held up for 5 years of commuting. 🤙

We must send more telegrams. I shall notify the quartermaster.

That’s just their manager

Not all but most, yes. But TBF, sites that still function with JS disabled tend to have the least intrusive telemetry, and might pre-date big data altogether.

Regardless, unless the extent of a page’s analytics is a “you are the #th visitor” counter, all countermeasures must remain active.

Same (AdGuard) I meant like I’d consistently get all of the first page of results linking to hyper SEO clickbait sites / AMP links / Adsense affiliates (think multi-page/gallery/click-through articles and low quality content farm sites like CNET, Forbes, Quora, etc) with a smattering of straight up keyword banks, snippet aggregator spam, and chatbot articles full of longwinded made-up nonsense with zero payoff.

Even more annoying was that Google started dumbing down all my searches, regardless of technical detail and specificity, just railroading me into simplistic drivel. Eventually verbatim/quotes syntax stopped working also, and that was the end of google’s usefulness to me.

Did they fix it? Last I tried it, all I could get was sponsored content and LLM spam.

I wonder if someone practiced exotropia and multi-focal tracking (or rapid mono-focal switching) if then dual vector shooting could technically be learned.

Regardless if anyone attempts this, please post a video of your face while you do it. For science.

Cornucopia (Latin: “horn of abundance”) is an old symbol of plenty.

But yes, I imagine this shot was chosen for its suggestive framing to congratulate the hackers for bullying the bullies.

Concur. Most FERPA violations are similarly mundane snafus.

I think you can also register 10 years in advance, or maybe more depending on the registrar, which would cover all other potential snafus like expired card info.
