I’ve been using them on both my phone and desktop, works great!

I have and use a Microsoft account. I would always setup my computer offline because I don’t want my home folder to be called "myema"il@email.com
Seriously who thought that was a good idea? Your account literally has your name tied to it, call it that!
Even Google products have a longer lifespan 😖
I’ve since moved on to Tidal. Bought it at $30 when root mods started to be developed, but never really went anywhere.

…I just put a Zigbee contact sensor on my mailbox lid and called it a day…
Not sure if you’re referring to telegram or signal. If you’re referring to signal:
Is it private? Can I trust it? - Signal Support
Signal conversations are always end-to-end encrypted, which means that they can only be read or heard by your intended recipients. Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Signal works. Every message, every call, every time.
The complete source code for the Signal clients and the Signal server is available on GitHub. This enables interested parties to examine the code for security and correctness.
I’ve heard the 24.04 installer is having issues. I would hold off for an update for them to patch other stuff as well
Not on fedora, but on Neon with a 3070. KDE 6 will lock up on Xorg, while electron apps will flash on Wayland, though there is a flag to enable Wayland support, it keeps dropping off of discord every time it updates. Running nvidia 550 proprietary, haven’t gotten to use the open ones yet as I need cuda for work
I am not as worried about DMCA as the author is lol
Wow, super missed that. April 10th. I just had it on a Pixel 2xl not too long ago
I have a similar thing, it just sends me a notification to my phone on Tuesday night and it won’t let me clear it unless I mark the trash as taken out
Definitely not as big as it used to be. Lineage, Graphene, and Pixel Experience are just about the only players left. Graphene doesn’t officially support anything other than pixels actively supported by Google though.
I just moved into a house with my friend and he gave me full reign to smart home the house. Every light has an Innr Zigbee bulb, which are great for having colors during parties and color temperature throughout the day (Adaptive Lighting in HACS), as well as motion controls in the hallway (which has a broken 2 way switch) and kitchen. The front porch light turns on when I come home if I’m on foot, and the back porch light comes on if I’m driving. The lights in the living room turn down if something’s playing and it pauses if I leave the room. We’ve got an old android tablet I stole from the trash on the kitchen wall for a shopping list as well as an overview of the house. They washer and dryer have vibration sensors so we get an alert on our Google homes when our load is finished (we’re both forgetful as fuck). I had an extra contact sensor left over from the doors that I put on the mailbox, so we get a nice AOL “you’ve got mail” when the mailman comes.
Frankly I don’t know how I survived without automation. I forget things so much less now.
As far as I’m aware they can only be used on Android. I did a search for APK on Roku and I all found were some articles erroneously calling custom channels APKs. Roku does let you side load custom channels in developer mode, but you can remove software like you can on an android box, so you’re always stuck with Roku’s ad riddled home page and whatever injects ads into HDMI
Roku is not android based, and doesn’t have an accessible ADB interface or similar
HTPC or Google TV. With Google TV you can at least ADB the shit away
My April fools prank you on my friends was a fake news article. It would’ve worked if any of them actually read past the headline.
In the same regards, it’s a toggle if you want it to come back automatically. You can still turn off Bluetooth and leave it off. The feature is there so you don’t turn off Bluetooth and lose your device & the only way to track it
Edit: fixed typo
Haha I’ve broken a number of screens taking apart phones as well, I totally get it.
If you’re gonna be rocking it for a while, you might want to consider shelling out a bit more for one of the Pixel 8s. I saw you mentioned you’re on graphene in a different comment, and the 8s are supposed to get 7 years of hardware support from Google, whereas the 6 has 3 out of the promised 5 years remaining. The 8s also have hardware memory tagging support from graphene, which isn’t available on the other models due to the processor architecture supporting it.
I’ve owned a 6, 7 pro, and 8 pro. By far the fingerprint reader has been the best on the 8 pro. Seems they solved the long waits from the 6 and 7 series.
Not to mention the flat screen as well as DP Alt mode (usage for this apparently coming in Android 15).
If you’re on more of a budget, keep in mind that the a series are really close to the normal models, with small downgrades like wireless charging & IP rating, but can be decently cheaper. The pixel 7a came out in May last year, you may be able to get a slightly better deal if you wait for the Google I/O announcement.
I figured that would be the case. If you’re comfortable opening the phone, and a return isn’t an option, the fingerprint module is only about $15 on eBay. iFixit also has very detailed guides for disassembly. Do keep in mind the screen itself is ~$140, so if you’re okay without it, it may be best to leave it.
You’ll also probably want to buy the adhesive for the screen to get it watertight, which is only like $5, ~$10 with shipping but definitely worth it unless you’ve got a tube of B-7000.
Newer pixels (3 and up) need to have their fingerprint sensor “recalibrated” after replacement. Not sure if that’s the issue going on here, it’s very possible the hardware is disconnected, but it’s worth a shot.
My professor made me install TeamViewer to our lab computers despite strong pushback from me, and perfectly functioning ssh access through the campus VPN. I can’t wait to send this to him.
