I wouldn't endorse Mangakakalot, they had some involvement in the Mangadex DDOS/breach a couple years back. Not to mention unlike MD they're a scan aggregator, which basically means they take scans from other sites (like Mangadex) and slap ads on top of them.

Well you'd have to have gotten a lobotomy to want to buy beats in the first place.

Most mobile operators in the UK have stopped with SMS limits (unless you're on the really really cheap plans or PAYG). Guess people just don't use them enough to warrant caps on it.

I don't think Intel is too worried about boycotts because a significant portion of their customer base is businesses.

The only real sector of their customer base that would even do a boycott is the independent PC builders, and I doubt even 5% of those customers would follow through.

Your average consumer doesn't even know what the hell an "intel" is or why they should care, it's just a sticker they see on their laptop/PC.

He survived 8 years with it though, whilst refusing normal medical attention. Given that, had he dealt with it in the first or even second year he'd have probably had a good shot at surviving.

I guess money won't fix arrogance mixed with stupidity. Such a shame...

What no repairability, a huge walled garden and the conditioning of teens to bully others over bubble colours does to a stock price

THANK YOU. I've been saying this for ages. I really wouldn't mind even £8 a month for the no ads since I spend a lot of time on YouTube, but I am in no way paying extra for bells and whistles I don't need. I already have Spotify, I don't want to and nor am I going to pay for an extra music service that I just won't use. I'm on an unlimited data plan for god's sake, I don't care about downloading videos.

I think the day an adblocker starts charging people is the day that companies will try to sue them into non-existence with lawsuits they know will fail.

Either that or nobody will pay for it because they're used to getting adblockers for free. They'll just move to another one or maybe one that's FOSS.

To think he would've lived if he didn't act like a total nutcase and rely on alternative medicine...

Because of the potential fallout that would happen if they did. Apple doesn't want to ban one of their key apps, it would be like banning Facebook. The app ecosystem is a key part of any mobile OS' appeal, it's exactly why the Windows Phone failed. Apple doesn't want to lose users to Android which will have twitter even if it's banned through side loading. It's just too popular of an app, even if it's a complete shit hole.

I asked it to do the same and it drew a nutsack:
