I still use my Cannon SD1000. 20 years and it's still going! The resolution is lower (only 7.1MP), but the photos still look really nice. And that was a relatively cheap camera for the time.

And that market will destroy itself because “investors” want MRR and so you’ll have to plug your camera into your computer so proprietary software can send the images to the cloud to get “processed” so you can actually view them. You’ll be thankful for the opportunity to pay $9.99USD for that.

It has already reemerged as part of the retro trend among young people.

Or you could use an open camera app

Yeah, I can tell that since I do tests for Amazon (Amazon Vine).

There is more and more camera being put to test, ranging for cheap bellow €100 ones to miniaturized keyring sized ones (with tiny screens).
I tested some of them (and have another one coming next week), the quality of the pictures are good, but the build quality of sub-100 ones are kinda bad (cheap plastics, no optic zoom, no hardpoints for better lenses, sd cards smaller than their advertised size)

For now its only supposed to check Google Messages, so not if you use a different text app.

Shameless plug for Textra as a much, much better alternative.

This is why I'm not buying a new phone until my current one literally breaks down. It's in the hardware nowadays.

The dummy version is an empty app.

It says in the article title that it keeps reinstalling itself, not that it can't be removed.

Now Apple devices use a similar nudity-blur system called Communication Safety – it uses on-device machine learning to analyze potentially unsafe photo and video attachments and is enabled by default.

Apple has the exact same tech

Using GrapheneOS.

We've been quiet for years now. Google's been on a path to turn Android into a locked down system for many years at this point.

It is lol.
