A long time ago, Google stopped doing updates on rooted phones. It's why I stopped rooting my phone. Doing Android updates by reinstalling the latest release every couple months was a PITA. Also, Google finally got the Restore from last Backup working to the point that I didn't have to rely on a backup utility that required rooting my phone. Ah, the early days of Android.
Not being able to rely on RCS from rooted phones makes sense security-wise. You can't trust what's attached to that message. It could be a code injection hack.
If I found out a TV required internet access to function, I'd return it to wherever I bought it next day.
Luckily I have a old-ish flatscreen that doesn't require internet but does have a netflix and other channels I can setup if I want. The Netflix client is so old it won't connect to their servers any more. That's OK. My Roku still works.
My great Aunt had a terrific joke about Henry:
Nixon is walking outside the Whitehouse near an area of freshly fallen snow.
He sees NIXON SUCKS in yellow snow and asks the Secret Service (and the FBI) to investigate who did it.
A couple days go by and someone from the FBI Forensics Lab comes into the Oval Office to report.
"Well?" Nixon asked.
"You're not gonna like this."
"Just tell me."
"It's Henry's."
"I knew it!"
"Ah. That's not all Mr. President."
"What else?"
"It's Pat's handwriting."
During 45's badministration, the Voodoo supply shop kept running out of pins. Once he was out, I transferred a bunch to other dolls.
The hard part is getting hair or nail clippings for all those Election Deniers in Congress.
A variation of Carl Reiner's joke: How do you make God laugh?
Tell her your plan.
I stopped tipping the grocery clerks when they stopped asking to see my ID when I purchased alcohol.
I mentioned this when the woman ahead of me bought a bottle of wine. The clerk said "She looks under 35. You don't."
Definitely no tip.
