How long has Google been killing things now?

my comment meant I was preparing to fight.

You’re not.

Google are thou hence the shadowboxing reference.

It’s an analogy

Preparing to fight beforehand.

how much they must value our personal data, that it only just now became worthwile to fight blockers with this much effort and PR/image depreciation.

You got it, on the nose.

Shadow boxing is always good practice.

Ultimately VPN users aren’t a protected class so it’s legal to discriminate.

This is what I’ve always found fascinating about companies and governments trying to block their usage.

All major firms/companies/governments use them, so, how the hell are they gonna stop them when their bosses get poked that’s something’s up 🙉

Fun times ahoy.

Because generally the TSA in Yankland are overly aggressive, but to be fair it can happen anywhere and here in the UK if they snag you into the backroom and want to search your phone you’re screwed either way since they, can.

We’re talking about Nintendo here, and we all remember Sony taking away things that made things better too, right?

Dreamplayer on Android and Android TV is pretty cool for TVH servers, albeit they want you to pay for each app and have a rather appropriate username

But as others have said LiveTV on Jellyfin sucks and can be used instead with VLC and other apps / resources.

Seems a bit dubious doesn’t it, especially since they’d be compromising any investigation by Tweeting about it in the first place.

Yeah I’m unsure of the scheduling of posts on Lemmy, and I know @coles is looking into some form of Automod here on lemdro.id.

Let me poke a few more others ;)

I’m unsure if there’s something on Lemmy for that, but it’s definitely something that helps the community since most mod actions I recall are poking people in the right direction like PAAFM.

Awesome team and community over there, and there is the old wiki pages too 🤔

Are you seriously touting a title like that as legit?

Was there an advert for Age of War in the article that made your script include it here randomly?

Fraid not.

I recall worrying about MAC address tracking one time and using Chainfire’s MAC privacy app, but that’s a non factor now since they’re randomised by default on Android on the most recent versions.

I find apps and Automod bots, are a better way of fucking that shit off even if users didn’t mean to post some =ref/tag infested URL.

Having bots post uninvoked as a reply to the OP though should be better managed as they detract the comments thread?

You know, I’d 99% of the time agree with you but has anyone else tried out the little (travel?) routers from GL-iNet?

Their default router interface ain’t half bad at all, and if you do need to use Luci you can simply do that too

I bought a couple of them for a family member and they haven’t poked me once for help with them.

It’s ridiculous they don’t include either and I say that as someone who doesn’t actually need either, really.

But it’s nice to be able to backup my DCIM folder to the SDcard and then sync that via a network share on a regular basis, especially if I hadn’t got adb enabled and/or I had a smashed screen?

It also allows me to just wipe my internal storage anytime without worry because I don’t record many videos and photos take up fugg all storage with a 3.2.1 backup plan.

edit: What’s the point of excluding, a headphone jack too I feel is the real question.

Hold on a second Mister OP, you missed the most important pros and cons.

Has an IR Blaster thank fuck, but, is missing a 3.5mm jack and SDCard.

I know these “cons” are meme complaints by now and while I’ve actually used Bluetooth earbuds before Android was a thing (see, jackless Sony Walkman W850…), but feel you should be including them as cons since many revel for those simple hardware bonuses we’re used to from Xiaomi.

Alas :(

Indeedys!

Exactly what I do and I feel the MVNO market here in the UK has kept things sane for quite a few years now. The problem exists when people take out “contract deals” and get themselves into “credit”.

Also the fact we can now text our current operator for a PACode means we can jump between PAYG deals, monthly.

Even if my carrier tried charging me for a MMS, fools on me if they do succeed since I’m PAYG.

If they manage to fool you into paying for them? Fool on you for signing up to contracts that allow that behaviour. And the fact that you’re looking for a solution to this is very “blinkered”.
