Motorola or whatever, depends what’s available within budget at the time I need the phone.

Not putting in a 3.5mm jack says enough. They sell Bluetooth earbuds I wouldn’t call that “fair”. It leads to more landfill. Phones with 3.5mm jacks also have BT, and don’t start about USBC singles, that’s more to buy and more landfill when they inevitable break.

- Comment on Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire risks 2 weeks ago:
On top of what the other comments said, they did facial recognition with tracking. They created an id that was attached to a certain person. When the unit was reset, the same id was applied. People didn’t know this happened, because supposedly nothing went to the cloud or something.

I have a Reolink that is completely offline, but they also are under scrutiny for having Chinese backdoors in their newest models.
An other alternative is Ubiquity, but they are expensive. They used to have a completely offline offering, but I started looking at Reolink because Ubiquity started with cloud logins. Things may have changed, so look up more recent, non anecdotal, information.

- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 3 weeks ago:
Some software installers still ask if I want to install for all users, which require elevated permissions, or only for me, which don’t. In that last option it will not prompt for elevated permissions as it will use one of my user’s folders which I have already all permissions for, obviously.
It’s a security measure that’s half assed. People are so used to it they just click allow but don’t actually look at the prompt anymore. Like I see a lot of people do with cookies on websites.

The roots destroy sewer systems etc too. There’s a bike path I take to work where the pavement is all distorted by the roots, making it very unsafe, but I still prefer that the trees are there.
