Because you need to transfer that heat somewhere.

150 degrees F is a normal temp for a CPU, but your computer isn’t gonna run well in a 150 degree room.

This isn’t just full magazines…

There is. It’s called Apple News+

Yep!

Yeah, since May 2018

I’m not a fan of backup cams. But judging by how many people are, they should absolutely be included in every vehicle.

Look, I’m not the target market for this anyway, and I know that. But I won’t ever buy another car that doesn’t have both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Especially now that head units aren’t so simple to replace.

Like, no matter how good your software is when you release it, you’re not going to have the same level of support, frequency of updates, timelines of new feature releases, and actual hardware upgrades (via my phone) I’d get from you having AA or CarPlay.

Both AA and CarPlay have gotten pretty damn good in the last few years too.

I drive a 2008 Mustang and I finally replaced my head unit a couple years ago with the Sony XAV-AX5000 and it was the best upgrade I could’ve possibly made to my car. I was really feeling like getting something new because I wanted modern convenience and this $350 upgrade gave me the luxury of perpetually being up to date. The only downside is that it doesn’t have wireless AA, but hardly anything does.

And no, I’m not good with having just one. My last several phones have been Pixels, but my GF and my Best Friend have iPhones. I need to be able to do both seamlessly. Plus, I don’t want my car locking me in to a phone OS. If apple releases an iPhone with USB-C, AoD, side loading (all of which should be in the next phone), add better UI scaling options, and they fix the back gesture, I’ll want to switch and I don’t want my car to keep me from doing that.

Yeah, no thanks.

The Philbrook is great, and there are a couple smaller, local galleries that are really great too.

The Gilcrease, Aha, Woody Guthrie Center, Sherwin Miller, Greenwood Rising, and the Discovery Lab are solid.

Lovetts and MA Doran are great showcases.

Cybersec White Papers haven’t ranked an iPhone as the most secure phone in like 5 years.

One of the biggest reasons I love Tulsa so much. The Art Deco architecture is gorgeous and I love that the city has embraced it and protected it as part of the culture.

Crazy to think what Tulsa would be now if the Tulsa Race Massacre and the Oil Slump hadn’t happened.

For those that don’t know, Tulsa was essentially the Oil Capital of the world from the 20s to the 60s. The city was growing incredibly fast and was pulling in money from all over the world.

Black Wall Street was the richest Black community in the world until the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921.

In the 40s and 50s, Tulsa was the wealthiest city in the world on a per-capita basis. In the 1966, the IPE (International Petroleum Expo) reached its peak. Then, right as the Oil Slump was starting, Houston capitalized by host the Offshore Technology Conference which drew the industry toward Houston. If the Oil Slump in the 70s hadn’t happened, Tulsa would’ve likely seen Houston levels of growth throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Then, even the shale revolution may not have pulled Energy’s capital from Oklahoma to Texas.

Anyway, we’re doing fine. But Tulsa has a rich history that just kind of came to a standstill for 40 years thanks to the Oil Slump and State leadership refusing to put meaningful resources into economic diversification.

I’m sorry, but that looks incredibly bland…

No. Sandboxed apps only prevent some fingerprinting, but notably provides a ‘reasonable budget’ for data that can be gathered.

Sandboxes absolutely prevent all cross-app tracking. The app doesn’t have access to anything outside the sandbox.

What you said about the advertising ID is true and is basically what I said, but disabling the advertising ID does not stop profiling or fingerprinting, just limits the most obvious applications of it.

What useful tracking do you think is still happening when you take these precautions?

Using a VPN is a start, but we’re comparing the privacy of Android and iOS. You can use a VPN on both. iOS includes an opt-in pseudo-vpn baked into the OS with private relay, for $0.99 per month. And besides, using a VPN does nothing to block the the fingerprinting done by native apps.

So then what difference does it make? You can use whatever VPN you want.

Are you sure you work in security? Like, mall security?

Yes. Stick to the topic. The ad-hominem is just childish.

Boost is IMO the best Android Reddit app and they have a Lemmy version coming soon…

Personally, I like Thunder

No. What they’ve done is made a local Ad ID that can be used locally on your device without interacting with another app. But you can disable it.

Plus, on Android you can literally completely sandbox apps: https://www.gtricks.com/android/how-to-sandbox-android-apps-for-privacy/

Or use a VPN if you’re worried about IP/Device tracking.

Google restricts Cross app tracking and you can entirely disable the ad profile.

They will continue to make money off of the users who don’t care, while capturing more market from those who do.

No. I’m very aware.

Android gives you full control over the permissions given to apps just like iOS does.

And since you can download additional browsers and browser plugins that aren’t just repackaged Safari, you can have a lot more control over your Internet privacy if you want it.

I agree. I hate the trend of moving away from information density. It may seem silly, but it’s the number one reason I can’t use an iPhone.

While I absolutely 100% disagree, I respect your preference and your ability to achieve it.
