It's not that easy to steer clear of. I've bought a couple of books on other topics from Amazon and realized when they arrived that they weren't worth the cost of the paper they were printed on. It's easy enough to notice it's bullshit, it's harder to avoid spending money and time on them in the first place.
I don't believe that for a second. Some specific apps are only on one platform or the other but every app has a ton of alternatives that do the exact same thing.
I'm not sure if you are trolling, shilling, astroturfing, whatnot but either way that argument is disingenuous at best.
That wasn't an attack on you specifically. Most people don't need to know nor care if they can unlock the bootloader. We need some kind of federal mandate/law/whatever that says that they have to be unlocked and people can do what they want with the $1k+ devices they buy. It's not even a question with a pc, you can even buy prebuilt systems with no OS or with linux installed if you choose.
This is why I have been a so called Google fanboy/super fan for what feels like a couple of decades. First nexus and now pixel because I'm guaranteed to be able to install whatever flavor of android exists for whatever phone I am using (if I so choose), I haven't played with roms in years but it's an option if I feel like it and I'm considering doing it for my work phone, get that shit running as lean as possible, no need for 99% of the Google apps that come with it.
But, that wasn't your only choice for a device. Android runs on basically anything and you have plenty of options for devices that let you do what you want with it.
Basically, the bootloader being locked is a manufacturer problem and not an android problem. Buy a different phone, smartphones have fully matured at this point. Grab a pixel 7 or 7 pro for a couple of hundred bucks and make that device your biotch.
This is why I never had anything more than an original ipod classic. Android let's you do whatever the fuck you want with your own device. Don't like having Google all over your phone? You can install roms with no Google services and use other app stores.
Irc, icq, aol chat.
Yeah, this doesn’t sound right. I’ve never seen a modem without an ethernet port. I’ve had everything from Verizon dsl in Tampa years ago to various cable providers including twc and now spectrum and as I said, every modem had an ethernet port. You can also add your own router even if it ends up adding an extra nat layer.
Invest in a garmin. I had a few fitbits and they all had issues. I’ve been rocking a fenix 7x for nearly a year now and it’s been rock solid, even outside in the heat doing yard work.

A couple of things.
Anything in large enough quantity can be harmful.
I’m not sure how old you are but dawn has been around since the 70s. As a product dish soap as a whole has been around since the early 1900s. I highly doubt that your mother was using engine degreaser in the kitchen in the 60s, 70s, 80s, etc.
To reiterate in case it wasn’t clear. A couple of drops of dawn or a store brand liquid soap in a large spray bottle of water will not hurt you or the plants. It will suffocate and kill the flies which is what you want. It’s also a really easy way to kill flying things that you can’t catch when they get in your house.
Take a minute and think. You wash dishes with it and send down the water pipes either direct into the ground or returned to the city to process and reuse. Dawn is used to clean oil off birds when it spills.
This is true.
Yeah, a little dawn or similar in a spray bottle works as well. When you start seeing shit like this you need to take care of it asap. They can spread and destroy other plants and even neighbors plants.
Probably white fly larva. Spray the plant down with hydrogen peroxide watered down by about 3:1 at a minimum. Alternatively you can buy some oil based sprays (neem and others, iirc) that protect against mold, fungus, white flies, etc.
Doubtful. Coffee, tea and caffeine in general have health benefits when consumed in not extreme dosages.
Not really. Efficiency does work and so would effectiveness.
