Notice that this will pass Play Integrity while your clean rom won't.

Modern open-source Android doesn't even include a working keyboard nowadays so...

I have my 2010 Kobo and it still works fine, you can copy books by usb to it.

Well, even these AI companies cannot manage to replace these workers themselves.

There's never going to be 65$/user/month, they already struggle to move past 5% of paying users with the current pricing.

I have the same opinion, these AI companies can't even work financially with the cheap ram prices, they certainly won't with high prices.

And ram producers are betting on it, they will just milk the AI companies until they collapse.

In the US for sure but in the EU, that insurance is still relevant.

The site pirates games that are still being sold by their original devs, like “Ports of Call”. Even for some games published by bigger companies, some of the original developers get a small cut on lifetime sales. So I don't need to “pretend” anything.

That can happen yes but it's rare, usually they just got their salary and the rights were sold/re-sold/sold again to larger media conglomerates merge after merge.

I think they lost against (or gave up) fighting spam somewhat around 2010 so they really don't have any modern experience on page reliability anymore. Presumably they thought that they didn't need to care as they got their money from paid top results and had an enormous market share.

All the engineers of the golden days are gone and the web changed so much from back then that I don't think they really have a leverage in this area anymore.

Google stopped fighting spam when they realized paid ads made more money than organic relevance

Yeah that's also my analysis, they got paid regardless of the results so why would they care? If anything, better results would cost more and eat the bottom line.

Now we're 15 years later and suddenly quality matters again as the competition is fierce in the LLM world. However they have been out for so long that they lost their edge.
