No worries! I was just a little confused when I tried it on my iPhone and it worked.

I was able to uninstall all of the apps you just mentioned on iPhone just to cure my curiosity.

Which Apple device is not letting you uninstall those apps?

Living in Japan for a couple of years made me this way.

The indicator LED is one of those small features that I actually really miss!

I’m currently using a pixel 6 pro. I took a long break from Androids. The last one that I owned was a S9 Plus.

I love the screen with the high refresh rate and it’s really responsive. I also love the live translate feature and all of the neat AI tricks that it has as well. I also was very hesitant because I’ve heard a lot about the battery life being bad, but the battery on mine is really good, as well as the fingerprint reader.

The only thing that I dislike would be the grip of the phone. I played around with both the pixel 6 and the pro and I would have to say the regular pixel 6 has a better grip, but I love the higher refresh rate and display on the 6 pro.

Edit: Oh and of course, the camera is amazing!

Haha. I thought the same thing when I lived in Japan. First time I heard it I was like what do you mean by black companies??

Haha no worries! To be fair, my quote is from a different article.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jun/12/microsoft-activision-blizzard-deal-ftc-regulators

According to this article, Microsoft has agreed to sign a legally binding agreement with the FTC.

“Microsoft has said the deal would benefit gamers and gaming companies alike, and offered to sign a legally binding consent decree with the FTC to provide Call of Duty games to rivals including Sony for a decade.”

Now for the future, that I couldn’t tell you what Microsoft would do, but I believe the Microsoft of today is all about bringing these types of services and games to all. I think if they were to end support and only keep call of duty exclusive to Xbox it would actually do more harm to them than good.

I agree. This is going on way too long.

From what I understand of the merger it seems like it would benefit gamers as a whole. It seems initially the main reason to stop this was to block Microsoft from exclusive rights over Call of Duty, which doesn’t seem what Microsoft is intending to do.

Microsoft has even agreed to bring call of duty to Sony’s Playstation for 10 years, and also to bring call of duty to the Nintendo switch.

Maybe I’m missing something here, but I really don’t see how this would hurt the gaming market, which is what is being argued here.

Thanks for this! I’m getting into cyber security so I’ll have to check some of these out.

Hey! I’m all three of those 🤓

That’s insane, well I know one thing. This is making me want to go download the DuckDuckGo browser.
