I think you mean "speak up *for," not "against!" But yeah, it's ridiculous...

Huh, well, I can tell you that Google classifies me as a local guide just because I try to regularly review places I go to, and I'm always honest with my reviews... I've left some scathing ones (not without reason, I hope) here and there as well 🤷🏻‍♂

That's not why I like Linux... but on that note anyway: if the source providing said warning is trustworthy, then let's have it!

It is my speculation based on experience and direct invitations to review stuff that Google effectively does ranked crowd-sourcing for Google Maps, etc., in which Google secretly tracks and gives heftier vote power to veteran accounts with longer histories of competence and reliability (especially, say, accounts that are a decade old and still regularly contributing and proposing corrections), unbeknownst to said account holders themselves. Perhaps their lead could be the way out of such messes.

Well, technically, it is smarter than a lot of people think; "smart" ≠ "moral!"

But yeah, definitely just use an HDMI cable. They're harmless that way.

Qalculate! doesn't need the Enter key to run calculations, and can calculate for X. These are the reasons no other calculator should ever be promoted!

It's really hard to get away from the Wi-Fi necessity, but I was recommended an ECOVACS Deebot because it used lasers, not cameras, which could still map your home (possibly... more accurately lol), yet at least block the company from directly seeing your possessions.

I don't know if they're still laser-guided, though; I've been out of market research for a while. I'm happy with my $30 corded stick vacuum, haha.

The app Mental Math actually improved my mental math indeed! While division can typically be estimated because it never goes into mixed numbers/fractions, it does eventually go into 5 digits' worth of all the 4 basic operations; you set the difficulty and climb as you like. I'd never multiplied so accurately in my life, haha.
