Essential for this Easter

Jump

  • Thank you so much! Happy Easter!

    • Essential for this Easter

  • Does anyone have this STL? I'm, ummm, asking for a friend.

    • You can put a billionaire in prison.

    Jump

  • Right? Its like saying Jeffrey Skilling went to jail because of stocks. Bitcoin is just a system doing what it was designed to do. Criminals gonna crime regardless of the medium.

    • Alternative to Nova Launcher

    Jump

  • OK cool. I've played around with blocking net permission for other apps on Graphene and confirmed it really kills Internet access. I've been on Nova since I started on Android many years ago. Old habits are hard to give up. I'm in the same boat and haven't found a replacement launcher either.

    • Alternative to Nova Launcher

    Jump

  • I'm still running Nova on Graphene. I revoked the network permission. That should mean I'm safe from spying, right?

    • Permanently Deleted

  • I feel legitimately bad when I see friends and family obediently sitting through ads. I absolutely do install extensions and 3rd party clients to remove ads. I alslo help my parents and close family install ad-blockers. I just don't want to be the guy who gets blamed when YT changes something and a 3rd party instance, client, or extension inevitability breaks. Just because I keep up on the latest blocking methods, doesn't mean I wouldn't like an ad-free experience for all.

    • What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • More blackjack and hookers

    • Better torrent client for MacOS Sonoma?

  • Seeding

    • Better torrent client for MacOS Sonoma?

    Jump

  • Nah, Transmission just gets kinda buggy when its loaded with hundreds of torrents. Its fine for light use (or perhaps if you have a ton of RAM). But it definitely gets laggy and occasionally unresponsive after running a few days.

    • What are Some Good, Recent, and Available Dumb Cars?

    Jump

  • No way. Anyone have a link? Its gotta at least have electronic fuel injection. A 2025 Benz with a carburetor and old school distributor is not believable.

    • Microsoft defends barging in on Chrome with pop-up ads pushing Bing, GPT-4

    Jump

  • Win 11 license is tied to your motherboard. Switching anything besides that won't change anything. Did you do a fresh install without Internet when you swapped your mobo? Besides that: you could go with Win 10 (preferably LTSC). Your only other option is to ditch Win for an OS that verifiably respects your privacy.

    • SIM swappers hijacking phone numbers in eSIM attacks

    Jump

  • Thanks for the advice! I just added 2FA to my phone carrier account.

    • What I see when you say, "bitcoin miner'

    • Anyone using KeePass with Syncthing?

    Jump

  • I can 2nd that SyncThing works well with KeePass. I have it running on Windows, Android, and a few Debian computers (guys, I use Linux) and I've never had an issue. I just checked (and apparently I'm a thug), because I've been using "No File Versioning" for years. You may want to opt for any of the available options to err on the side of caution. As long as you're adamant about syncing any changes ASAP (and not modifying the database on 2 different devices simultaneously), you won't have issues. Even when I have screwed up (by editing the DB on 2 devices), the KeePassDX client on Android has handled it gracefully and allowed me to merge the conflicts. I also always keep regular backups of my database outside of the whole SyncThing monstrosity (just for worst case scenarios). Cheers mate, give a whirl.

    • I cannot stand these spam calls any more.

    Jump

  • Thanks! Will do! I have since bailed from Verizon, so that seems like a long shot.

    • I cannot stand these spam calls any more.

    Jump

  • Gotcha. Thanks for confirming I'm scewed. Its definitely a Verizon-specific Pixel 5 I bought used and I ran for a bit.

    • I cannot stand these spam calls any more.

    Jump

  • Are there any alternative OS options for a Pixel 5 with a locked bootloader? Edit: I think carrier-locked is the more accurate term. The option to unlock the bootloader in developer options is greyed out.

    • I cannot stand these spam calls any more.

    Jump

  • If you think you're paraphrasing me, that's incorrect. I love my Pixel 5. Its still very much a capable device and its a shame Google stopped supporting it. The fingerprint reader is more accurate than the one on my Pixel 7 and I prefer the smaller size. Mine unfortunately has a locked bootloader, so upgrading to an actively-updated OS is not an option for mine. The 5 is far from garbage and I'm sad Google abandoned it.

    • I cannot stand these spam calls any more.

    Jump

  • Totally unrelated, but I just want to let you know: the last security update for Pixel 5 was a few months ago. You should stop using that phone as soon as possible.

    • What a bargain!

    Jump

  • I don't get why you guys are outing yourselves as unable to scrape together $1299 for the flagship.
