One of the things it asks permission for when hooking up Bluetooth etc is “call history”, “contacts” or “text messages”

I’d assume the system needs those to read it messages or call/redial. It wouldn’t need OCR to do other things with that data

I can’t recall if I limited to Google’s IP’s or not actually. Just that I wanted to prevent their devices from ignoring the DHCP provided hosts

I setup a NAT rule that redirects anything going to the Google DNS IP’s send sends it to my own DNS server.

Funny, I was very much in camp NVidia until the RX480, which ran just fine. So did my Vega56, and my 6900 as well as numerous APU’s (one was a bit annoying for overscan on the attached TV). No driver installs, just what came with the OS.

I’ve also got a tablet with an Intel Iris chipset that works fine with the in-kernel driver, and a laptop with an Nvidia chip that most of the time worked but periodically after a kernel update fails to output video requiring me to manually piss around with it and figure out why the stub didn’t build properly.

Maybe you should stop being an ass and consider that when the product/brand has worked for MANY people, maybe the issue is you

Sounds like they probably last used AMD devices shortly after the ATI acquisition, and yeah for awhile the drivers were absolutely shyte (as they were with ATI).

The second possibility it’s - as you mentioned -, running bleeding-edge (i.e. trying to run a video device just released). I got a 6900XT early when they came out and drivers were a bit finicky for maybe the first 1-2mo. I think I had to manually download the firmware files to get it running. However, I’ve had the same issues - or worse - with other vendors in that regard.

Apart from that, then anything in the last half decade shouldn’t require any driver installs and minimum to no tinkering. It’s all

-force -recursive but I like the way you think

Yeah as soon as you go with the term “Zionist” that pretty much gives away your agenda, bud.

We’ll see it down to the minute in B&M storefronts soon as well. The local Superstore and Walmart already have digital price tags on shelves. Milk could go up $0.50/L between the time you grab it off the shelf and then finish shopping to hit the checkout.

A bunch of people buying cookies? Oh, better raise that price by $1.50/box

For me, it’s simply that there’s stuff I can’t find without driving 4h to another city, and even then only maybe.

One of my neighbors threw a neighborhood BBQ. Free invite with burgers and dogs, BYOD. Seemed to draw quite a few people
