Not at all. Trump is impervious to evidence.

Maybe if enough people file feedback on the name change they will reconsider. At least they will have a glut of feedback to deal with.

As you add more compute per user interaction ("smart" features), you increase power consumption. To keep an 18hour discharge cycle, you have to have more battery. Since phone thickness is a negative marketing feature but increased screen size is a positive marketing feature, you end up with bigger phones.

Every time they reduce compute power consumption, feature inflation overtakes the gain and more power is needed over time. Try turning on battery saver in the morning... even with "normal" use the battery will last significantly longer due to disabling background power consumption.

So optimistically assuming that Trump will follow through.

Cops without oversight end up veering off course. Things can get worse.

Never had that in the US AFAIK, but we used to have to pay by the SMS text.

Believe it or not, this is a perfect time to leave a voice mail. The not answering spam calls I am normalized with, but the refusal to use voice mail for important calls is inexcusable.

You must have done more than rename a partition... it is looking for the partition UID and not finding it. Since the UID is never supposed to change until the partition gets wiped, this is very odd indeed.

Also, putting external volumes (usb stick?) into fstab is not a good idea... let the automount find it when you put it in and want to access it.

sorry, used caps as emphasis... I have no idea if it is an acronym...
