Thanks, a reply in that thread:

This just showed up and no way to avoid it?

OP:

No, I got the option whether I wanted to view it when starting the car. And it’s added as an app in case you want to view it later.

Would be interesting to include anthropic, openai etc in this list

Looks like it could house a fairly large battery

The feature is to offer a default that most users like. Not allowing users to change the default is an anti-feature.

maybe they are secretly authoritarian too

Why does every government want age verification now, what’s in it for them? Can’t be one started and everyone saw it and thought that’s a great idea let’s introduce it too?

What happens if the coating was not applied correctly or somehow comes off?

Coincidentally, the car in the title picture is one of VW’s first EVs where physical buttons make a return, and it has regular handles. It also comes with a touch screen and tracking, though.

Would have been funny if they did that and it turned out to be the crappiest phone ever

I don’t even believe them, but until that update is actually released, the announcement is just the information we have for now.

Tell you what, you’re not allowed to reply for 24 hours. Go think about it.

Imho a better comparison would be not being allowed to post within the first 24 hours after signing up. Sure it would be annoying once, but not much of a deal in the long term.

You had to enable the “installing from other sources” setting long before this change, and there are people who did that. How many of those would now stop doing that just because of the one-time wait?

Google said installing apps from unverified developers is still going to be possible, you just have to wait for a 24 hours delay once to unlock the setting: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html

What’s with all these posts making it sound like sideloading is going to be removed from android?

In reality, there is no 6 Nimmt! World Championship

But… according to google and the publisher, there is a world champion and it’s someone else? https://blog.amigo-spiele.de/2025/05/27/interview-6nimmt-weltmeister/

awesome, need to remember this once i update to 7

Maybe because VLC is actually useful

Why are you crying, Windows user?

Same reason as everyone else who waited to upgrade.

From another article about this topic:

This leads to the question of what exactly the FCC means by consumer-grade routers.

In September 2024, NIST submitted proposals to strengthen the – undeniably modest – IT security of routers (NIST IR 8425A). It states: “Routers forward data packets, most commonly Internet Protocol (IP) packets, between networked systems.”

This encompasses a wide range of devices, from WLAN repeaters to smartphones

So new smartphones are banned too?

or e-ink

It looks like the AMD model still comes with SO-DIMM. Was hoping for AMD + LPCAMM2 + repairability, but I guess you can’t have everything yet.

without needing to disassemble the whole fucking thing

well you still need to take the bottom cover off
