but not for 3rd party app stores.
Yes it is.
The app stores inside Google Play would be 2nd party app stores.
It’s only 2nd party if there’s some sort of transaction involved, which there isn’t AFAIK.

No they were forced by Epic.

They have existed but they’re now available in the Google Play Store.

Who cares if you smoke while praying? Not the priest. That’s the point.
- Comment on Father sues Google, claiming Gemini chatbot drove son into fatal delusion 1 day ago:
You’ve omitted half the information
I’ve omitted half of the part that doesn’t matter, as I explained in the comment. It doesn’t matter what comes after them, the answers will always be the same.

Is that it? What about “bugs and finickyness”?
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 1 day ago:
I agree, and yet that is the complaint I hear over and over. I don’t understand it, but it is.
- Comment on Father sues Google, claiming Gemini chatbot drove son into fatal delusion 1 day ago:
the priest rationalizes two completely different answers based on the way the question is posed.
No, the priest is answering 2 different questions:
- Is it okay to smoke, to which the answer is always going to be no.
- It is okay to pray, to which the answer is always going to be yes.
What else they’re doing doesn’t impact the question.
- Comment on Father sues Google, claiming Gemini chatbot drove son into fatal delusion 1 day ago:
But if you ask a priest if it’s alright to pray while you’re smoking, they’d probably say yes, as you should feel free to pray to God whenever you need…
When would a priest ever tell anyone it’s not okay to pray?

I mean I have a Lenovo that matches their build quality. It’s not exclusive to them. It’s just not that important at this price point. I’d rather have better performance.

Yes, by all means, make a new OS and paywall all the AI garbage on there. Please.

One of the largest complaints of Pixels I’ve seen is that they’re too expensive. These will cost twice as much.

Brother, Apple wrote that playbook 🤣
- Comment on https://www.androidauthority.com/desktop-mode-march-pixel-drop-3646069/ 2 days ago:
Shouldn’t any Android OS device that can do full video output over USB-C be able to do this?
It will eventually. Pixels are usually the first ones to get everything because they are first-party devices.

You’re probably not on the latest release then.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 days ago:
No one does that. Nor is it possible to do while the vehicle is rolling down the road.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 days ago:
Okay every response you gave included an insult, while providing the most moronic strawman takes possible so I’m going to conclude that you’re arguing not only in bad faith but also maliciously, and block you. Better luck next time.
- Comment on https://www.androidauthority.com/desktop-mode-march-pixel-drop-3646069/ 2 days ago:
Have you used the latest version?
- Comment on https://www.androidauthority.com/desktop-mode-march-pixel-drop-3646069/ 2 days ago:
I think you mean DP Alt Mode.

iPhone will never have it for the same reason that iPads don’t get proper window management and MacBooks don’t get touchscreens.

Oh the Motorola Atrix from like, 2014? I still have the lapdock. Used it with an original RPi for a while to make a terrible laptop.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 days ago:
They didn’t come with my car.
Them you have an old car. Every new car comes with them, and has for a long time, because it’s required by law.
I am not insulting you
If you don’t think calling me stupid is an insult then I have “assessed your intellectual capabilities” and decided you’re actually a moron.
It doesn’t matter if it’s mandated for inclusion where you live, that doesn’t mean it’s free. You are paying for it.
I didn’t say it was free. I said it was included and not a choice you have to make. Someone who’s not a moron would have understood that.
So, every 3 to 8 years (depending on various factors), you have to replace the TPMS
LOL what? Who told you that!?
which does sweet fuck all for your safety.
It monitors your tire pressure. That’s important for safety, as I’ve outlined several times now.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 days ago:
Your personal insults are only reflecting poorly on you.
They come with the car. Every car. Doesn’t matter how much they cost. They are not optional. It is not a choice your can make.

It concludes that even if you increased grip
It’s nothing to do with grip. In fact, a lower tire pressure will actually increase grip.
tire failures account for less than 1% of road accidents causing death.
Oh well if no one died it must not be a safety issue?
So you’re spending $300 to $500 on a new car for a TPMS
Uhhh nope, it comes with the car…
And fun fact, most tire related accidents are actually from tread depth, not low pressure
So we’re just going to ignore it as a safety issue because it’s not a main cause of collisions?
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 days ago:
Because I am not a complete fucking idiot.
Mmmmmm
You are unaware of the operational aspects of your vehicle and are a danger to the people around you.
WTF is a “operational aspect”?
