The Merkinman posted:No site should have ads, I'm entitled to free content. Considering the general tastelessness and more importantly the absolutely enormous privacy and security hole that ads represent... Yes. If there was a standard that sites adhered to that enforced security and privacy it would be acceptable, but that doesn't exist.

[quote]Lol good job agreeing with the False Dichotomy I was making fun of. [quote="Taffer" post="473215127"]If there was a standard that sites adhered to that enforced security and privacy it would be acceptable, but that doesn't exist. There is. Also, Chrome will block ads that don't follow that next year. I'll stop now since I don't want to derail.

^^^ oh my god an electronic device isn't going to ship with 3.874813648212342 GB of RAM, it has 4GB, full stop. Some RAM is reserved for video, and it's a display thing. B-b-b-but I expect a 2017 phone to have at least 8GB of RAM -a oneplus user CLAM DOWN fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Jun 9, 2017 |

Thermopyle posted:So...the "leak" is that the Pixel 2 is like the Pixel except a bit better. I think the one interesting takeaway is that, provided the information is accurate, the Pixel will feature a 2:1 aspect ratio screen, something that I would not have taken as a given.

The screen ratio is interesting (which may mean smaller bezels?), but I think the things I'm looking forward to the most in the Pixel 2 aren't items that would show up on that spec list. Waterproofing, physical design, maybe stereo speakers, etc. Also if it's the SD835 that will be noticeably faster on Pixel quality software/OS!

The Merkinman posted:There is. Also, Chrome will block ads that don't follow that next year. Too late, and too bad. You want me to see your ads? Take personal liability for them, and not the wimp-rear end binding-arbitration kind. (This also means you probably shouldn't outsource your ads to someone who only inspects them for malware or scams retroactively.)

I mean, I'd rather they not be there if I had the option but they're certainly not intrusive. I mean maybe they're not intrusive to you, but when an ad pops up RIGHT where you'd expect the comments to be just so you can hit it accidentally, or when an ad is in the middle of an article and you accidentally tap it while scrolling, I'd call that obnoxious and intrusive to the experience of the website. Tamba posted:I'm using NoScript with Firefox. If I block everything on the page, I can see the article, if I allow just androidpolice.com, I get that "don't block our ads/scripts"-page. I tried this on Firefox and it only seems to actually work on Firefox. If I block everything on Chrome, it blocks all of the CSS and JavaScript. Still readable but yeah. It's almost as if this is just targeting Chrome for the shenanigans.

Is there a chrome based browser with ad blocking on Android that works well? It's all I really want but each one I tried either let some ads still through or blocked more than just ads on other sites. Firefox with ublock works for adblocking great but man I really hated that browser otherwise.

There used to be a Chrome extension that would replace comments with random Richard Feynman quotes - was great while it worked.

Fame Douglas posted:Get the Anker. They sell directly on Amazon (no other sellers/counterfeiters to deal with), work and are cheap. I know Amazon is a mess. I ordered the Aukey from seller "Aukey Direct" that had good seller ratings. We'll see what happens. I've been burned by cheap electronics on Amazon before. Almost literally. I asked itt which off brand battery to buy for my LG G3 awhile ago. I got it, phone didn't display as charging. But within seconds it smelled like burning and the phone, battery, cable, everything was too hot to touch. A little longer and it may have caught fire/exploded. Luckily all that heat didn't destroy the phone. Threw out the cable I used because I'm sure it was partially melted inside or whatever. Thank you though. Saving the link for the Anker in case the Aukey is for home heating and not device charging. e: It was a different thread but it was on these forums! fartzone_42069 fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Jun 10, 2017 |

Updated to Andoid 7.0 and now Windows can't connect to my S7 Edge via USB. It worked just fine before, but now suddenly it refuses. I've double-checked all my settings, checked the drivers, installed a half a dozen apps and programs trying to find a workaround, and have been fiddling with it for over an hour. But Windows flat out insists the phone doesn't exist and vice versa. It doesn't show up in device manager or file explorer, and the phone itself doesn't even give an option to connect via USB. It'll charge, but will not recognize that it's connected to an actual computer. MTP is on. It's like both my computer and my phone have no idea they are connected to each other at all.

This is a thing you fix in windows, it was a common problem after some patch went out. Try some googling about the issue and you can find the fix.

I guess something is up with my USB cable. Dug out another one and it worked fine. Of course I'm a dumbass for wasting an hour and not trying the obvious and checking the cable first thing.
