You can get by for most apps with MicroG which is a cut down implementation of play services but some apps will absolutely refuse to run on a non-factory Android image.

Last time I was on a custom ROM I got most things to work to some extent but some jush didn't work e.g. NFC payments via Google Pay.

IIRC there's legislation being discussed in the EU that could compel Google to offer hardware signatures for custom ROMs in future.

"Negative Fifteen" and "Negative Seventeen" also work in the same way

I'll buy you a pint if you ever find your way to Scotland. Hope things go well for you during the move!

Came here to say exactly this, combining two shitty advice-animals formats into one great meme

It's the fact that it's in near real time now, older techniques with older hardware would need much longer.

Not really answering the question but I've completely stopped buying anything that requires USB micro B. I can't fucking stand that connector. USB C costs a negligible amount more and I've yet to have a single port or cable fail irreparably after using it for the best part of a decade.

An actual answer to the question? I'm done with Microsoft and Nvidia. I'd love to add Google to the list but I'm still largely entrenched in their ecosystem.

They're not taking enough votes to win a lot of seats but I bet they've taken enough votes to change a few marginal Conservative seats into Labour ones.

Another counter example is South Korea, the right wing PPP are red and the left wing DPK are blue.

I'm right in the Millennial/Gen Z transition, mid 90's. I struggle to associate strongly with either group as I missed most of the important Millennial stuff but I was too early for a lot of zoomer stuff.

I love ligatures but much prefer the ones that preserve the proper width of all the characters for this exact reason

Interesting, my experience was in rural Georgia so could be regional?

I'd put money on it being the US.

I'm from the UK where chip and pin is required and contactless is nearly ubiquitous so when I was in the US recently I was baffled that a lot of places had me signing for things.
