I’ve heard enough about Android 16

I still have an unused 5T new in the box, and I was wondering the same thing… What other at least semi-modern ROMs were available…

Yeah, 30 years is, but he said 1995… Wait, no no no no no no no

It’s interesting to note that Puerto Rico doesn’t have property tax. When you pay off your home, the tax collector’s office just leaves you alone.

Functionally, there’s no difference. The amount they demand is based off your house’s value, and they take it away from you if you don’t pay. The label is just a detail. And it’s not a trivial cost, I inherited a small, aged, worn out house and I pay over $300/mo just to exist in it. The tax office wildly overestimated it’s value and there’s nothing I can do about it.

You can’t just pay off your house and expect to be left alone. The county sends the person on the deed a tax bill every year. If you don’t pay, they will take the house from you.

What are you talking about? “Taxes don’t have anything to do with ownership”

Your county sends the person on the deed to the house a tax bill every year. For me, it works out to over $300 per month for a very modest house. If you have a mortgage, it’s bundled into the mortgage payments.

It’s a scam that you’re forced to pay homeowner taxes on a home that the bank actually owns.

And, they force you to pay mortgage insurance (against yourself) if for some reason you can’t pay your mortgage. In the event you can’t pay, they make you leave the house AND reap the benefits of the insurance claim. I’m sorry, if the bank wants to bet against you that’s one thing, but forcing you to pay the bill to bet against yourself is massively unfair.

It’s entirely possible that you could be unable to afford the mortgage payment because of the additional costs of the extra insurance they force you to pay, to insure them against you not being able to pay. Think about that.

This is entirely separate from homeowners insurance, which is a whole other scam they force you to pay.

There should be a law to force mortgage lenders to disclose the full price of the loan at the time you take the loan. For example, if a home is $200k, a typical 30-year mortgage for that home will have you paying something like $450k by the time you finish paying it off. This should be shown to the buyer at the time you take the loan.

Easy, just examine Africa’s situation with warlords

Happened to me with the Android anti-theft app Cerberus, AND with the PlayOn TV recording service.

We should make a shame/do not trust list.

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”

You’re exactly right with that second part. The Cold War never ended, it just got colder. We severely underestimated the deviousness of Russian leadership. They 100% started playing the long game once they realized they lost the short game in 1991.

Doesn’t anyone remember the veiled threat Putin publicly gave Trump when he took office again? It was something along the lines of Putin re-emphasizing who was truly in charge… as if he had some kind of blackmail on Trump.

They probably want us grateful for one ply. Soon, they cut costs even more and just give us the raw unprocessed stuff, plywood.

I’d love to know why you know these terms. I’m a huge etymology nerd and I eat this stuff up.

This entire thread begs the question, why do some people have a first name for a last name? Is it just a less-clear patronym?

Use a pie launcher that can emulate the back button, like LMT Launcher. The back button will always be about an inch from wherever your thumb already happens to be.

I’m very familiar with Florida’s rules about this. You can have a driver’s license just fine and not be required to pay anything. The scenario you’re worried about is if you have a driver’s license and a car registered and tagged (license plate) at the DMV. If you have a valid license plate and no insurance, the DMV either wants the valid plate back, or you’re forced to get car insurance, or else your driver’s license will be suspended. They do this to prevent uninsured people from driving around with valid tags (license plates), basically by getting insurance, registering the vehicle with the DMV to get a valid plate, and then canceling the insurance or letting it lapse, in order to “appear” like a valid driver.

Additionally, if you have a vehicle in your driveway and no valid license plate, you can be cited by the local government’s code enforcement department, for having an unregistered (junk) vehicle in your driveway. I don’t remember exactly what the citation was for, but I’ve received one when I was young and first getting into the car hobby. I’m a car enthusiast and I have always had multiple vehicles, and have been told by my city I had to either register the car, get it out of view (I think getting it covered up with a car cover counts, but they really want you to put it in a garage), or get rid of it. Some municipalities don’t care, some care and don’t enforce it, and some do enforce this.

Also, a car insurance company wants to know about every licensed driver in the household, because they could potentially be sharing cars with you. You don’t want to tell the insurance company that you have roommates or they’ll require you to add them to your car insurance policy, which will be very costly. If they somehow find out, just tell them their information is old and that the individual has recently moved out of the house.

If you have any other questions or if I’ve forgotten something, let me know and I’ll give you the answer.
