Here's one that uses the audio challenge: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/

But don't you have to first wait minutes, then hours, then days etc. before you finally get to 10 years? That's some dedixated toddler

Nothing prevents you drom installing a linux os on an android phone, provided someone made a rom for your device. It's just not very useable due to proprietary drivers. Ubuntu touch exists for example, but on most phones you can't even use the cellular antenna iirc

Tldr: It's just better compression

Based on the videos I've seen, I don't think it's just batteries. Li-ion batteries don't really explode, they burst into a lot of flames and stay burning for a while.

Yeah, all this behaviour leads to is more annoyances for the people who do know what they're doing. People should really learn how the devices they use every day work, which includes stuff like the command prompt. Not necessarily how to use it, but at least what it is and what it can do.

You can turn those info cards, ads, and some other stuff off in the settings fyi

Afaik that only applies if the app is processing payments, which in this case it shouldnt be.

I think we're looking up at a drinks dispenser, one where you push your cup against the metal thing to start filling.

True, but that just means no more contactless. They don't entirely block you out of the app afaik, like many other foreign banks I've seen do.

McDonald's was just an example, the point is most apps don't need to do that at all.

I do happen to know how payment systems like that work, and thankfully those are all cloud-based, the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they're paid. If they implemented it well, as I suspect a big corpo like McDonald's probably would, their own order screen also checks server-side if orders are paid. Not much you can do from the app side to mess with that.

Oh I don't know if mcdonald's specifically does this, I've never used the app, I just used it as an example because that's what the guy above was talking about as well.

Haven't played monster hunter, but the last of us looks great on pc.

Fortunately so far I haven't come across a bank here in the Netherlands that wouldn't work because my phone was rooted or because I'm running grapheneos. Hope it stays that way too.

It's the same system, it's all part of play integrity. And that also applies to this bullshit, why does McDonald's care if I didn't install their app from the play store?

Not a single app on my phone was installed through Google Play, it's all Aurora. Guess if apps really do this i'll just have to stop using them, cause I'm not installing the play store.

There’s no indication that any of the apps were available through Google Play.

So it's just users installing untrusted apps to their phone?

scour infected phones for text messages, contacts, and all stored images

They also can't do that without the user explicitly giving the app permission to do those things, unless they found an exploit or something, but the article doesn't say that.

Also, why would you have images with passwords in them on your phone anyway?

People really should know better nowadays than to do any of this shit. Every step here is preventable by the user just thinking about what they're really doing.

Does powershell have sudo? What does that do on windows, show a uac prompt or something?

Ngl i think I'd prefer just entering a password once manually over Google doing some magic bullshit to make it work across devides.

Nice, that looks promising! I'll have to look into it a bit more.
