GrapheneOS has some services of its own that improve location speed and accuracy when enabled: SUPL and PSDS. They’re both implemented in ways that try to preserve privacy. See here for more info:

With these enabled, it’s usually quick to get your precise location.

It annoyed me at first but it really doesn’t matter because the eBay website works fine. It’s just some companies choosing to use Google’s API to check OS integrity.

It’s not hard to be the best blind smartphone camera.

If they continue to support Pixel phones that covers the flagship end pretty well. Extending to cheaper devices might be more worthwhile to get more people using GrapheneOS.

That’s my boss. He isn’t a programmer and I have done it professionally for 25 years, but he has taken to sending me not only feature requests but also pages of AI-generated code, and now he expects me to do the work instantly since I can just paste in what he sent me. He thinks he’s being helpful. I’ve asked him to leave the implementation to my team but he can’t help himself. I don’t know how you explain it to someone so bad at reading the room.

Now with added surveillance and advertising!

And our Canadian PM had said Canada supports this US/Israeli attack. I am ashamed of him.

Your link isn’t valid.

OK, and the point of the thread was that it’s still a good thing if they quit it now. No one can undo past mistakes but you can decide not to keep making them.

About half a day.

Cancelling now is still better late than never.

I can’t believe people were paying for it in the first place.

And those CEOs will go off with their vast piles of money to make the same mistakes again, since the message they get is that this behaviour will be rewarded.

I understood it to mean that wishlists currently only offer things shipped by Amazon, so they don’t share your address with other sellers, but they’re going to change wishlists so they offer things from third party sellers, who will need your address to ship things to you. So they’re going to start sharing your address with these sellers.

If you spend a lot of time sitting next to a CD player they’re still OK for now. For music on the move, not so much. And when the player breaks it will be hard to replace. So they’re definitely not perfect.
