It’s already out. Not all phones will receive it. Those that do might not get it the same day pixels do.

This update is not an android security release that patches drivers or system files, but the update to google play services and related apps.

You are right in that it’s unlikely the pixels will get any further A14 security updates until after A15.

Nice view from Patterson Plank and Manhattan Ave

Revanced and newpipe fill different roles while covering a lot of the same functionality. Revanced is still the YouTube app … Just modified.

There’s a lot of ppl that don’t want the actual yt app for everything that it is. Also this being Lemmy there’s a lot of users looking for open source alternatives for all apps.

I think it’s more an existentialist response than an indictment of Binghamton:

“Everybody has to have a hometown, Binghamton’s mine. In the strangely brittle, terribly sensitive make-up of a human being, there is a need for a place to hang a hat or a kind of geographical womb to crawl back into, or maybe just a place that’s familiar because that’s where you grew up. When I dig back through memory cells, I get one particularly distinctive feeling—and that’s one of warmth, comfort and well-being. For whatever else I may have had, or lost, or will find—I’ve still got a hometown. This, nobody’s gonna take away from me.” —Rod Serling

Yeah it had something to do with it in that it was used as an excuse to invade iraq - not in that iraq had any legitimate ties to 9/11.

Never known a real person to think it was an inside job, just internet whackos…so yea same as the Maga crowd - or any other whackjob conspiracy like flat earth, big foot, vaccines cause autism…

Central NJ - it’s so close… so to me its no surprise ppl are speculating and then that transitions into conspiracy theories that are perceived as fact.

Remote control over your phone or using a Xbox controller like if it were a console. Back in the day I had an htpc remote but ability to control apps is inconsistent.

For me nothing is more simple then a PC interface. I hate having to scroll using a TV remote it takes so long to do anything and it’s quite limiting in other ways.

Stremio/Plex with a Microsoft keyboard that has a touchpad built in. It’s big but you can get small ones off Amazon for $20

Same. Seems like overkill when you can see what it can do. But also at that price you can velcro it to the back of your tv and it can literally do anything so have at. I don’t see a lot of better options. I use full computers personally.

N100 mini PC imo. $150 does everything.

You’d be surprised maybe how many developers don’t properly remove all files they put on your computer. Adobe is notorious for this.

They’ve been caught selling customer data to counter-interest groups which want to keep groups oppressed. E.g. the Christians are buying Grindr data to excommunicate people

That one feature in the blog the article doesn’t talk about at all is called FRP and they aren’t saying it’s new they’re saying they’re upgrading it.

We’re making it more difficult to do that with an upgrade to Android’s factory reset protection.

And the reason for that is that FRP is easily bypassed if your phone isnt locked. Among other bypasses.

Except that isn’t what this is.

“The feature automatically locks your phone when it detects your phone has been snatched from your hand. It uses data from your phone’s accelerometer and gyroscope”

I’ve owned/used HPs, Dells, and several Thnkpads and the thinkpads by far are always the best machines. They are built to last, support is top notch.

Yea, prolly already using it.

I thankfully have never had the misfortune of cgnat

Yeah dropping Nat is the biggest net benefit I agree but I think the avg person won’t really find that much value in it when Nat works ok

Your prefix can change yes but the recommendation is that it shouldn’t in practice. You’ll find ISPs doing it right will extend your PD lease infinitely unless you release it for a long enough period of time. Similar to ipv4.

The privacy is similar to ipv4 also. All your traffic on ipv4 looks like it’s coming from your WAN IP… Your PD is in this sense equivalent (though not literally equivalent for all the pedants reading) to your WAN IP.
