I bought a pre-paid carrier device as a secondary phone, and the difference in experience between that and my Pixel is loving flabbergasting. There is no way in loving hell I will ever buy another carrier Android as my primary phone.

I'd lose battery life, camera quality, radio quality if the alternative was to be exposed to what carrier-branded Android handsets have become. That's not a parody? Like when people claimed the next iMac would have the keyboard replaced by a spinning character wheel? I would legit prefer the Chinese to be stealing all my personal data than put up with that poo poo.

For what it's worth, Samsung put all the promotions crap & bundled app in their partner developer builds too which is great fun when you're supposed to be debugging things but ads keep on getting in the way. Extra bonus for me was that for some reason Samsung decided I wanted the German build for a phone (because I was in the EU?) so it wasn't even ads in a language I knew!

Wallet posted:I had a test Android phone for work from Verizon or something and it came with a pre-installed and unremovable copy of the loving NFL app. As I recall the only way to genuinely remove it was to root the phone. I guess at least the NFL app probably isn't spying on you to sell your information to recruiters. I removed this app and so much other garbage from my phone including Play Services and my battery life went from one day to like three. Cricket Wireless has to be the most disingenuously run carrier in the market. Zero refunds, no matter what. "Can't" port a number to an existing line without like $50 in fees. They don't understand that I don't want to pay for something twice. They noted, in my account notes, "customer was informed of the refund policy."

My Samsung has a fantastic picture, great audio, and a cutesy touch of starting up from, and shutting down to a single horizontal line like a CRT tube TV. It runs off my media box (an Apple TV), so I never see the Samsung menus or ads. Try something like that.

I might just do that at this point honestly. Here's hoping the TV doesn't then start looking for unsecured wifi networks to communicate with, unless that's how it finally figured out how to pull new ad content. 7663 blocked connection attempts to cdn.samsungcloudsolution.com in the last 24 hours.

Wallet posted:I personally use a Pixel, yeah. Just seemed particularly absurd to me that the NFL is paying Samsung or whoever to force everyone to have the NFL app on their phones like people are going to accidentally open it one day and realize that they've secretly loved football all of their lives and they just never knew it. drat this brings back memories of watching a football game on a Razr phone. Not one of the new smart Razrs, like generation 2.

Keep in mind that signage monitors are designed to keep the image quality constant for years, while a general purpose tv is stress tested in a much limited way during the design phase. We have several units of an older version model of that nec in our offices and they were kept on for about a decade with minimal lumen loss, a couple of sony bravia consumer tv were bought six years after those nec and they got ghosts and heavy backlight intensity loss in a couple of years of usage (also they are pretty much busted now). It's like comparing a bestbuy special laptop with a business model.

HiroProtagonist posted:What do you mean? https://9to5google.com/2020/08/05/oneplus-phones-will-ship-with-facebook-services-that-cant-be-removed/ Facebook App Manager and Facebook App Installer are baked into the firmware of recent OnePlus phones. You can disable them, but if you don't there's no accounting for what data they are sending back to facebook even if you don't have an account or use facebook. They can also install apps from facebook without user intervention (if they aren't disabled.) This is actually more concerning for people who do use facebook since you can't disable the services and have the app still work, but the services allow facebook to do an end-run around the play store to update the app. At any case, stuff like this shouldn't be allowed by google, but they do.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:God drat there is nothing more annoying than being made responsible for handling everything o365 related but then having your global admin role revoked. So a FOIA request came in... But we have nobody that can actually run it. I got pulled into a meeting with $manager and $CIO about it and I explained that's because we never actually gave anyone any sort of roles in o365. I got about halfway through explaining how eDiscovery works and roles and permissions needed and blah blah blah before $CIO got sick of listening and told me to "just fix it." *deep breath* [Proceeds to rattle off all the permissions that I don't have that are required to be able to do the required steps for giving eDiscovery.] $CIO interrupts again, "wait why can't you do any of this?" "Well because I don't have permission to <long list of poo poo>, and despite my many requests, nothing has been granted or even explicitly denied." *crickets chirp* ...and that's the story of how I got Global Admin role reassigned.

Internet Explorer posted:Well, poo poo. Do you want global admin on my tenant? Yeah ditto. We just hand out Global Admin on our tenant. One of the first things I fixed when I came onboard 2 months ago was removing 50+ accounts for the third party "Service Desk" MSP from Global Admin. There was 72 accounts in GA! ~50 were service desk, 12 no longer worked at the company, and 3 of them were marketing people. Like loving hell. Anyway now there's 3 of us - me (sysadmin), network guy, boss.

Hell you can even redact poo poo right in the Review Sets tab. Export whatever you want however you want, set custodians, filter, sort, tag, all sorts of poo poo I'll never have to do again. There's even Analytics and pie charts and graphs and poo poo. Now just let me migrate to AAD and use Duo for 2FA and I can retire happy.

The new eDiscovery poo poo is niceeee. You spend more time trying to figure out what the gently caress the lawyers wanted in their request and tailoring the search terms to be responsive than you do setting up all the other poo poo on it. Like 99% bullshit free experience compared to 10 years ago trying to find something that could ingest the exchange data store backup copy and run searches against that, then paying $1500 for the privilege of running said software. Edit: It's also why any time professionalism or personal use or anything email related comes up: The 'E' in Email stands for 'evidence'. Don't send anything via email you wouldn't want your boss to read, or your boss's boss to defend in court. It's also why most places don't log IM conversations.
