No, they can. Good luck selling an Android without play store or play services. Amazon tried this and failed.

i used to fast-forward the vids to the end and then answer the obvious questions

then they disabled fast-forward for the 18 video segments, so i opened 18 tabs and ran the vids concurrently

then they disabled skipping segments before completing the previous one, so now i have to run them in real time in the background as i do real work(sa shitposting).

usually it's one or two JS variables you can set through the console now that they generally don't use plugins

OEMs often have to add drivers that aren't part of the OS, and software to update them. (Plus people GE deals on bundled software.) I'm not sure MSFT could really draw that line without thoroughly reviewing every version of the relevant programs. we went through this with Firefox and distributors, it never worked well.

why do you think OEMs choose those wifi/bluetooth/Optimus/sound/Ethernet devices? to make their lives difficult?

I have straight up Intel wifi and Bluetooth that need drivers when I pave over an install. what should I use instead?

force them to use their initials in their password, plus the first digit of their user id. they're unlikely to have matched that pattern on other sites, so reuse attacks get much harder.

what, that's stupid. it's got to be better to search down in the bowels of the airport than to hold up the security line.

opening a bag is apparently a huge pain in the rear end, and involves paperwork that is probably at least occasionally completed correctly
