Google is working to bring album art to Now Playing on your Pixel's lock screen (APK teardown)

    The original 1988 Hamas covenant, which has never been revoked officially, literally quotes a Muslim scholar?

    Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).

  • You definitely have a point... if US was the only country in the world and Uber did not provide a much better service than our local taxis. I mean yeah the local ones are cheaper but considering overall service, fuck no.

    For me, one of the major advantages of Game Pass is publishers are absolutely refusing to put local regional pricing nowadays. Games at 60$+ cannot be bought by anyone with middle class salaries. Now with push to 70-80 usd+ for AAA, even AA games getting to 60$ it is impossible to buy in my country.

    So why should I get a single game at those prices when I can get few hundred at similar pricing? It's MSs problem that they are willing to put their games day 1 on GP not mine. I don't care whether games are getting "devalued" or whatever, I'm simply getting what I paid for.

    Also, people do tend to buy games standalone and I really can't see that going away honestly. I can't see games ever going subscription only or anything like that.

    Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data

  • Just going to preface this by saying I'm not a security expert.

    Phones have 2 encryptions states BFU (Before First Unlock) and AFU (After First Unlock). Self-explantory I think; when you login to your phone after putting in your password the first time, your phone will go into AFU state.

    In BFU, almost everything is encrypted. In AFU if you dump the same data you will basically get a lot more information because some of the data is now decrypted. That's basically why you can access notifications, change settings around from your lock screen when your phone has been unlocked once but not the first time after reboot.

    As for why PIN -- I'm not American but apparently in US you can be compelled by law to unlock your phone via fingerprint but law enforcement cannot force you to enter a PIN. More contributing factors: theoretically you can spoof biometrics more easily (I mean, people leave fingerprints everywhere), and one last thing is as a convenience factor it will help you to not forget your PIN (also why your phone will ask to re-enter your PIN every now and then)

    This tiny Gmail change will make it easier to manage your inbox on Android

  • The pin part is for security, your device is encrypted on first boot until you put in your pin. If someone attempts to get in your phone even via connecting your phone to a PC they can't because your phone is encrypted.
