That's a failure of the parent. My 5 year old likes to do the "color by number" things on my phone (waiting at dr appts and whatnot), and even she understands not to click on the ads, or to at least hand it back to me if one comes up.

First, if you're on the go, do you need a computer with you?
That's kinda the point of laptops
Second, if you do, that's what a dedicated laptop bag is for.
Why should I have to carry a whole bag in order to have more compute power available than a phone? This is the same argument as "you already have a bag for your mobile phone battery if you want to carry it everywhere, but why would you do that?"
The answer to that is "because they can". You don't have to like it, but others do, so if you can't understand the potential applications, then it's clearly not for you.
My work-issued T15 G2 has a large keyboard with a separate 10-key. It's glorious.
AMD T14 G1 here, with LMDE. Definitely my most used computer.
That comic says to do the opposite and to NOT implement browser notifications...
That just turns paid apps into splash screens for in-app purchases though
Welcome to Android lol
I’m not entirely optimistic about this ruling, but we’ll see.
Apple had no reason NOT to give refunds and then use their weight to claw it back from the app developer.
Greed.
But what happens when not-too-legit apps use non-AppStore external sites to unlock features in an app?
I suppose we will see what happens. That's a very slippery slope though, full of FUD, and is the same logic that Apple, Microsoft, and others try to use to keep users locked into their walled gardens.
In a perfect world it’s cheap and easy and reliable.
But it can also be a scammy shop that lures you into expensive subscriptions with no easy way to cancel them (eg. gym membership) and what happens when Little Timmy spends $9000 for Nlartbux in a mobile game’s external store?
Could be. Multiple alternative markets exist for Android already though, and some shops are scammy as fuck. Google has already put protections in place to prevent sideloading potentially harmful apps (including alternative markets), but the savvy user who knows how to bypass those restrictions should* know how to spot scammy shit.
Could go either way 🤷🏻♂️
"For your security" was never about security.
Precedent is precedent, and now smaller independent devs can use this ruling to their favor.
I'm not the one complaining, I know how to manage all of that.
I'm talking about the average user.
Notifications, and no browser UI to get in the way. You can do a PWA, but that's beyond the scope of the average user.
Yep.
The system isn't broken; it's working as intended.
I have one of those running as a node in my proxmox cluster. Great little machines. You can hotrod them with Precision and XE3 parts, too, including the XE3's 300W PSU vs the factory 180W unit. Drops right in.
It, along with the rest of the cluster, plus my NAS, draws about 100W average.
