Play services work great, even Android auto works.

Personally, I don’t bother with seperate profiles. I want push notifications for somethings. However if you only want bank apps, a separate profile may fit your use.

There is a “compatibility mode” you can turn on for apps that don’t work. This relaxes the restrictions the app has and sometimes works.

OTP works fine for google account 2fa and MS authenticator. I don’t think you’ll have an issue with an app’s 2fa as long as whatever other app needed are also part of the profile, be that SMS, email or notification.

No problem. I’m not happy with the current state of things either, but crossing one thing off the list, even if its lower priority to us, is still good for someone.

I find it interesting that some of the other comments go on picking apart my thing, that basically boil down to military = bad, so right to repair = bad and its not a problem because they are already wasting money. Be glad something good is moving forward.

Consumer rights have been increasingly stomped on by the mega corporations for years now, and they continuasly push the boundries. The very concept of a terms of service “contract” that can be changed anytime by 1 party (and heavily in their favor) is insane. The more control we get back the better.

This is important. Rossman did an interview with a few military techs, and here are few highlights

• they couldn’t get the router password (that they own) for troubleshooting. Imagine your ISP locked you out of the router?
• it cost 200k to ship a 100k part because they weren’t allowed to fix the broken one. 300k - thats a decent sized home in some areas, just to replace a wire or something. (Look up military pricing too, I remeber seeing something about how the military pays $400 for $4 bag of fuses)
• they have to fly manufacture service techs that don’t get schematics, if they need them, an engineer is flown out who closely guards them.

Its a complete waste of taxpayer money. Money that could be redirected into more important stuff, but alas our corrupt politicians will find other things to waste it on.

We’re allowed to fix our own cars (although manufactures are trying to stop that), why can’t the military fix their own equipment or farmers fix tractors? Get a foothold in the military sector and the rest will follow.

Unfortunately yes, there are technical reasons I don’t fully understand. I think has to do with how it’s locked down, and that it can be relocked after graphine is installed.

Graphine takes security seriously, so leaving the boot loader unlocked is not acceptable to them.

Although, that may change with google removing pixel specific code from the android source.

I’d like my phone to last 5 years minimum.

That seems to be the new standard for continued software support too. If the phone only lasts for half of that, what’s the point?

Replacing the battery on a 9a is a invasive 64-step process(ifixit guide). The kit they sell is surprisingly cheap at $40, but has a list of other tools you need. Its definitely not a project most people will undertake.

No, that sounds silly. It must be PNG. You really should enunciate the PNG.

Is it pronounced png or png?

“To preform chest compression place both hand in the center of the subjects chest. Apply a rthymic steady pumping action until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake continue chest compressions until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake continue chest compressions until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake up seek medical advice, or call 911.”

“To apply a large bandage, peel back the red pull tab to expose the badage-aid, place wound over the white pad and wrap the wrap firmly around the skin. Finally adiminister 50mg of Goprelto to ease the pain.”

I suggest you look it up in detail, my memory on the details are not only hazzy, I never looked that deep into it, beyond “well thats shitty, rip Anker”.

but the TDLR; A few years back Eufy (owned by Anker), they didn’t tell anyone video was stored on the cloud, and then it turned out the live video stream was exposed to the open web. Initial response was lack-luster and Anker didn’t own up to anything.

Its been a few years, possible things are different. Also possible initial issues were blown out of proportion, and I never heard any of the “corrections” no one ever makes.

It’s in its early days, but consumerrights.wiki has potential to become a very valuable place to check before buying anything. The summery there is much better.

I’ve been very happy with UGreen as a replacement to Anker, after the Eufy thing. Have not tried a power bank yet, but the charger and cables have held up so far.

Works just fine on grapheneOS

Name does not check out

A disruption to disfunctional search engines does not sound bad.

Wow, that is bad. The music one is probably the worst of the examples. The artist name is barely readable most of that clip.

The notifications are rough too, a big wall of white text against a burry multicolor background is not fun to read.

Maybe it’ll be that on the back end?

Who am I kidding, it’ll be a brand new system with its own rules and problems.

Especially if you post the resume online to LinkedIn or something. Its no different from posting a friends number for all to see, not cool.

Forgot about the window size thing, I looked up the setting to make it open normally.

I know I’m defeating the purpose by undoing some of the settings, but I’d rather the defaults be set for privacy and I disable the few that are overbearing/hindering my use. Never did use containers, so I didn’t know it was bad.

I am curious why Librewolf isn’t for you?

Overall I’ve had no issue with librewolf. It’s runs just like Firefox without some of the bloat. The very few sites I’ve found don’t work, don’t work on FF either (usually payment/online stores with popups and shit). Download whatever extension, change the settings and even sign into Firefox cloud. Yes, you’ll make your “fingerprint” more unique but, the other security improvemts/defaults make it a worthy trade off.

Biggest annoyance is by default cookies/logged in sites are wiped on close. That can easily be changed globally, or white list what you want to save site settings for. Signing out of websites is a good habit anyway, especially ones with payment attached.

The neat part is there’s a lot options to pick from, some of them are doing cool things like the one outta Japan Floorp looks interesting.

Some women want the slimmer pants, yet all the options with pockets are baggy. Yes you need some space for a pocket, but that doesn’t mean the entire entire pant needs to be baggy.

Men’s slim jeans are available with pockets able to accommodate a larger phone with out issue.

Ah gross, don’t ruin the volcano with their filth. You’ll piss off some old god.
