Ebay

I imagine their source code is such an unmaintainable mess that it’s impossible to modernize

Sort of. Google and Microsoft really weren’t on good terms back then (relatively speaking). Both were competing for the mobile OS market, and Microsoft ran this whole „Don’t get Scroogled“ campaign to demote Android.

Naturally, Google did not offer any of their apps for Windows phone - i.e. no Google maps or YouTube. Microsoft then made their own YouTube client for windows phone which was an okay app. However Google wasn’t happy with this and had them take down the app and replace it with their own version instead.

The problem is that Google’s YouTube app for windows phone was so embarrassingly bad that after countless 1-star reviews they decided to pull the app from the windows phone store, effectively leaving the platform with no YouTube app at all. There was at least one third party client which was decent, but there was never another official one after that IIRC.

As mentioned in another comment I haven’t quite gotten it working but it should be possible to do this via SSH

Just wondering what’s the power consumption and how long have you had it? I just got my electricity bill after running an R720 for a year and… let’s just say it wasn’t worth the low price after all

I’ve been on NVIDIA with Wayland since June 23 (which is when I switched to Linux in general) and I am still mystified what all this fuss is about. Everything just… works? What am I missing?

What about OneDrive or NextCloud? They offer photo uploads

I have the same experience unfortunately in Europe. Was looking for a new hairdryer the other day, and it's just endless pages of the same Chinese crap with made up brand names and fake customer reviews.

Gave up and drove to the store instead.

Usually if you use Do not Disturb and the same number calls you twice within 15 mins then it will still ring

Literally everyone I know uses WhatsApp. It's probably been over a decade since I last sent or received an actual SMS (except for 2FA codes).

Change / coins are pretty annoying imho

Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem. On the left is Firefox and on the right Thorium (Chromium). I've had this problem on Windows before but now I'm using Linux and it's the same unfortunately.

I just got a Galaxy S23 about 2 weeks ago. It came with Facebook and Swiftkey as well as a bunch of Microsoft Apps. But no Tiktok, Games or other crap. Even after updating the OS nothing like that had been installed.

My guess is that a lot of people do not read anything and just rush through the initial setup process, thereby confirming things like wanting recommended apps to be installed.

Also there are some mentions of rooting here. I suggest to first give adb a try. It lets you uninstall any app without rooting (including Facebook and Swiftkey in my case).
