  • But… it does have crumple zones.

    The entire front and rear castings are designed to shatter in a high energy collision and crumple.

    The size of a crumple zone isn’t as important as how it absorbs the energy and dispenses it.

    You could have a 20foot crumple zone that’s empty and it’s be useless.

    You can see it crumpled here. They’ve also posted a different video on the official X account of a crash test but I won’t post that to avoid linking them. here.

    Since you got something so utterly basic wrong and posted it as true, I can only assume the entire post is fabricated.

    Edit: took a screen shot instead of video. It crumples all the way past the front wheels



  • That’s what you need distress codes for.

    Destruction of evidence is a much different crime.

    I would suspect it’d no longer be legal to hold them indefinitely and instead at best get the max prison sentence for that crime instead.

    A us law website says that’s no more than 20y as the absolute max, and getting max would probably be hard if they don’t have anything else on you.

    You’d have to weigh that against what’s on the device.

    Also, even better if the distress code nukes the bad content, and then has a real 2nd profile that looks real, which makes it even harder to prove you used a distress code.










  • The Android OS is very hostile to background processes running.

    The rules around what’s okay and what’s not is constantly changing, so apps that need to run things in the background are constantly having to update things so they can work properly and sometimes they don’t, or they do it wrong, and then certain features don’t work properly like push notifications or schedules events.

    Then, even if the developer does everything perfectly you get OEMs like Samsung that ignore the rules and fuck with your app anyway, and the literal only way to stop it is to go into the OS setting and disable a lot of things, which puts the onus on the user, and not the developer to make the app work.

    But Samsung is such a bitch that even then they don’t honor your settings and sometimes revert them, or add new ones that fuck with it again in a constantly changing hard to find nested settings menu.

    I actually do like my Samsung phone, but god damn fuck you Samsung for doing this.

    If you want a phone that at least follows the ever changing rules properly, get a pixel.
