Jokes aside: cmon, its not a big deal to open the windows menu to power of the machine. The Word "Start" is now missing since Windows Vista which released 2007 - nearly 15 Years ago!

Crono | 5 years ago | on: LG is getting out of the mobile phone business
The second screen is just the perfect solution for having an allways on display without a real (and stupid) notch. I love this feature. Also knock to power on is super convenient. Battery is replacable. The Screen is super sharp. Its thin despite its very accessible inner parts. The amp and music quality is absolutely awesome. The camera is awesome as is the sound recording quality. The IR Blaster ist just super convenient. Also the FM-Radio is a very nice addition. The camera-app is just awesome and i have yet not managed to find something simmilar. Also i like the gallery app. And the sound recording app. Its also fast, has enough power still to this day. And the SD-Card Slot combined with the internal memory gives me 640GB Storage. Also Dual SIM is nice.
Really it is such an awesome phone that im not sure how this phone happened in the first place. As each Smartphone does at least 2 things stupid or hase some dumb features no one asked for.
Its allways the same with me - as soon as i find the absolute perfect hardware - its already legacy and nothing like it is buyable in the future ...
The V20 is like the perfect tool. No stupid features only used for sales, no shortcuts, just a very nice package. Two things i would change: Cameras should never stick out and the volume buttons should be on the back like on the G4.
Crono | 5 years ago | on: Dark patterns after the GDPR: consent pop-ups and their influence
The first real reaction on GDPR came at that moment Google forced them to. There was a deadline (somewhere in february 2021) where Google would limit ads if no consent-manager is implemented.
When we finaly implemented it they set everything they can to fight against the user: The big blue floating button for the consent manager was hidden - instead i had to implement a link into the footer. Nobody will find it there. Then they disabled the "disable everything"-button. Now you can just allow everything or manually tick a hundred boxes. They totally know that its not legal. But nobody cares. Ad revenue is the most important thing and if they would follow the rules they would loose quiet a lot of money.
As a developer its frustrating to see how user hostile the web has become ... Sure you can get another job, but its the same situation in every other place ...
If you are just a user browsing the internet and beeing annoyed by all this stuff and mistreatment: Im sorry.
Get an ad-blocker (uBlock Origin) and maybe additional uMatrix and learn how to protect yourself. The only way to "vote" is with the active denial of your data. They can see that statistics. They can see the rising number of people blocking all this tracking and advertisement stuff.
