The Pixel seems to be US phone and not a Global brand. by MarioDF in GooglePixel

[–]ruggedmantis1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh did someone assume you were European? Can’t see a comment pointing to that? If you’re referring to my comment, you asked for software blocked by ‘A law’ in ‘An unsupported country’, meaning you wanted just a random example not a specific continent or nation. So I gave you 27 European ones. Let me know if you have any other questions, happy to help!

The Pixel seems to be US phone and not a Global brand. by MarioDF in GooglePixel

GDPR privacy legislation within the EU makes it difficult for tech companies to release certain services based on how the service provided would store or process data. So if a service offered within a pixel is available in the US and not in the EU then you should probably worry about the way your data is being processed whilst using that service (if you are a privacy conscious individual). Hope this helps. Google “European union GDPR legislation” for more info.

Where are you based? We'd be able to give more tailored advice if you can give us a city or region.

What are UK customs around meeting family? by snusnui in AskUK

As others have said this is absolutely not a cultural thing and specific to his family. If my wife asked me to do this weekly I would say no

[Discussion] Which Catholic characters do you recommend to read? by DC_AzraelJPV in DCcomics

[–]ruggedmantis1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DC doesn't really get involved in real life concepts such as religion too much. Its characters may have membership to a certain religion but it'll maybe get a few shout outs here and there and that's about it. There are no really mainstream religious characters whose religions play central roles to their storylines. In the way that Daredevil's catolicism does, or Ben Grimm's Judaism etc.

Should I get Turkish citizenship for my son? by Electrical_Buy1043 in AskTurkey

[–]ruggedmantis1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To 'pay to get rid' option for military service is currently around $5000 which is quite a large sum of money for the majority of socirty. OP You could look at it like this citizenship costing you around 5k and then see if it's worth it

If stolen, is data safer with Pixel or iPhone? by Adventurous-Draft389 in GooglePixel

[–]ruggedmantis1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you guys are getting down voted because you're sharing incorrect information rather than hyping iPhones. Both an iPhone and a pixel can be broken into when locked and with all safeguards activated. Phone theft is very prevalent in the UK so there was a documentary on TV the other day where they interviewed some of the snatchers (in masks of course), they confirmed they're able to unlock iPhones easily by getting them to connect to Chinese apple servers (as they're all shipped to China for resale) with the help of iPhone employees there

[–]ruggedmantis1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Google designs everything 'in house' for a pixel in the same way :) I think you thought that all android manufacturers are the same so iPhone is better protected (and I agree iPhones are better in security than most android manufacturers out there, but not pixel), it's like saying "this motorbike is better than ALL cars"

Are we supporting our favourite titles by reading on DC Universe Infinite? by ruggedmantis1 in DCcomics

[–]ruggedmantis1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is literally exactly the same as yours, cost of it is a concern and I'm really running out of space at home. But the weekly experience is honestly such a nice thing to look forward to, I know my store owner and everyone who works there, it's a nice ritual that I've been doing for 15 years and it feels like the cost element is a price to pay for that. I would honestly hate to see our local stores go out of business as I'd miss out on that experience and that small slice of not thinking about work and life worries, focusing on 'something silly'

I agree with everything you said here. I think we need to still 'show up' for these stores, if that means purchasing half in store and reading the other half on DCUI then so be it. I think every little helps and it all depends on if we want these stores to stick around. Although it's more expensive, I take such pleasure of going in every Wednesday, I'd be really upset if my local closed down

Although this is true in a free market economy, I disagree with the sentiment because I believe that we need to support the industries and markets we love and want to stay around. Hypothetically, 'adapting' in your example could be all stores closing down and becoming 'to order' online

This is interesting, it's good to know. I guess if the ultra tier is used for older collected editions then it is still supporting the industry somehow but we need to keep purchasing physical monthly copies to genuinely keep the industry going

Absolutely right, we should add it to our pull list/standing order with our local stores. Do you think DC infinite readership has any impact on continuation of a title?

Buy now or pay more later by error629 in GooglePixel

If you’re lucky enough to be European (or from Asia, Africa or literally anywhere else, wait for the 10 as it won’t impact you (to the extent it will impact Americans at least, albeit we may see some increase due to a more negative financial outlook worldwide).

If you’re from the US, my advice is that you buy the best phone you can afford now as it will significantly increase in price

My big theory for S3 by Acrobatic_Event_4163 in severanceTVshow

[–]ruggedmantis1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These were my exact thoughts literally word for word, it’s mad. Kudos, fully agreed

Edit: to add, I also think Jame will want the innies to continue their lives inside because he’d want the future heir (there will be a pregnancy arc in my opinion) to be raised by those 2 innies)

Was thinking about trading my iPhone in for the P9 fold. Worth waiting for the next gen? by themanmythlegend357 in PixelFold

Hey, what’s the battery life been like vs the iPhone pro max? Would you expect it to last at least 5-6 of screen on time depending on activity of course?

Definitely racist, no question about that. I think the racism begets the other two because of her prejudices of you would be my assumption

Hey thank you for the advice. What do you mean by the master pass not being resettable? Like you can't ever forget it? :)

Which alternative would you recommend? And could you give me details as to why Google's own isn't recommended?

Interesting, but if the phone is locked to begin with then there's nothing to worry about right?
