Did you not read anything I wrote?

And no, that isn't likely the path for stolen phones,especially when it's a theft of opportunity by someone looking to feed a drug habit. They aren't thinking about going to a fence who can give them what the phone is worth at that level of the chain.

As I said in another comment, the locks both apple and android put in years ago had a major impact on the theft of phones. It's pointless to steal them unless it's part of a larger operation or you're trying to get a phone that's unlocked so you can siphon money from someone instead of just reselling the phone.

Nicotine is harmful and no one, especially kids should be using it. Maybe you don't know what nicotine does to the human body. If you know how it works on insects, it does the same thing to humans, especially when it's consumed over decades. Now that it's available in vape form, it's even easier and way more likely to use even more and do more harm.

As for the flavors and colors. You need to educate yourself on the history of marketing tobacco and alcohol. These companies have never been marketing to adults with the candy flavors and the unicorn colors. You may not be old enough to remember wine coolers but those of us who do, remember that adults rarely drank them. Same goes for these vapes.

For the record. Afaik, thc does not have any of the same negative side effects as nicotine. You'll live longer and healthier if you vape the "real" stuff or even the delta 8, 9,10, etc vs nicotine.

Not saying that the state should be outlawing it. Simply offering some real info and a counter to your claims of it being fun. It may be "fun" now but not so fun decades or sooner down the road when you have dementia, heart problems, etc.

Oh and I did block you because your only argument based on the comment I replied to would be, (fuck you, because, reasons). Homey don't have time for that.

True. But the average idiot stealing a phone to feed a habit isn't going to be able to bypass it. Of course those being stolen by order of a larger group can do it. But these locks severely reduced the number of opportunity thefts.

This isn't the case anymore. Starting sometime back you can't just reset android and set it up from scratch. It needs the pin and/or account that was on it prewipe. They are still likely good for parts but it's pointless to steal newer smart phones.

I miss trillium. Those were the days.

Add no-script to the mix and you are golden. On mobile I use adguard to filter ads from pretty much every single app and website. As soon as I can figure out a couple of things bothering me with FF mobile I'll be moving over to it with extensions.

One word, garmin. Garmin has its own special charger but it's designed for ruggedneas and there are several adapters on the market that let you charge it with usbc. My 7x goes for 3+weeks with spo2 turned on and does everything else a normal smartwatch does like notifications, quick replies, music, etc.

You should look at garmin. My 7x goes for weeks with all data collection on and the screen is clear enough to see without the back light when there is enough ambient light.

Unless I am recording tons of workouts, I don't have to charge the battery but every few weeks. I sometimes plug it in when I take a shower so I don't have to worry about it.

That's just the beginning. Other artists have tried to avoid livenation venues but when the artist finds a venue, livenation just goes and buys said venue. That shit right there should have been taken to court.

Funny how these legal actions against companies like this only happen under democratic presidents.

When it goes up you can usually transfer to another provider for a decent discount. I recently did this with one of my domains when godaddy went nuts on a renewal for a domain I've had for like 10+ years at this point.

Your point wasn't wrong. It simply wasn't what the article was about.
