The only emails I get from Amazon are confirming orders and when orders have shipped.

I don't have an issue with an opt-in covid tracking app being pushed down the pipe.

This is one of the reasons why I always stick with Pixel phones direct from Google. No junk/crap-ware installed, just pure unmolested Android. That said, I haven't heard of Android Auto being uninstallable, but at least that one is useful. I use it every time I'm in my car.

I should have clarified my "shit ton of apps" by meaning mainly all the Google stuff that comes pre-installed.
The last straw was Google photos with its timeline showing you a picture of something you did 2 years ago, if you click on it it tries to sell you a print.
And when you go to edit in photos some options are behind a paywall.
No thanks google, i don't need a Google One Plus Ultra subscription for $2 a month.

I setup a Samsung phone for a client, that ui is crap. Coming from a moto phone, which is basically plain unmodifed android (not as pure as Pixel, but close), to the samsung ui was painful.
And then you've got the Google play apps and Samsung Galaxy apps store just to add confusion. With most of the Samsung apps being a duplicate of the Google apps. sigh

The best Skill-up Review could say was that it's a complete waste of money, a complete waste of bandwidth to download and a complete waste of your local storage.

The choice being to stick with a corrupted os that can't get security updates versus the horror of one that might receive an opt-in pandemic prevention tool.
Okay

I hope that laptop holds up for her okay. I like the Mac minis for the ultimate in portability if you're going to have a m/k and monitor at both locations.
But if she's going to be using it on the train then a laptop was the way to go.

Exactly what Tact said. This was a very narrow decision. It won't be long until star players are driving porches that they bought themselves versus being secreted to them from alumni.

well...I am drawing the line at harassment. I feel like that's reasonable. I am not almost saying anything.

I was really naive to how many people wouldn't take it. The news of the delta variant(s) hasn't seemed to change that much yet. At least not in my experience.

Is this going to be the Dead Space where you always need an online connection to play, even if all you're playing is single player?
Will it have rooms in your single player game that you can't get into by yourself because you're not playing multiplayer.
One more thing, can they make it where you have to spend EA bucks to buy fuel for your scavenger bot/roomba.

Am I missing a point to this other than it was fun and challenging for the person to do?

That was the point, you're not missing a thing.

This is not the GPU that will provide competition to AMD/Nvidia or lower prices, nor will it solve the current shortage.
And I wouldn't expect DG2 or DG3 to do any of the above.
