I wouldn’t bother with the app. Log in through the website with lite apps.

There’s user name generators. Even fantasy name generators too so it’s not a weird jumble of letters and numbers like a password.

Since the ad push led to me fully adopting newpipe and freetube not anymore.

Yeah, there’s no proper screening process and companies aren’t help liable for malicious advertisements. It’s the Wild west out there, and companies take money from anyone due to there being no consequences. Internet advertising has no proper screening process like network television.

I’m surprised that government devices aren’t heavily locked down so users only have the bare minimum apps and lock installs. Even weirder that government officials would be allowed to use the device for personal use. That’s how I’d think work devices would be handled to try to reduce attack vectors.

You probably had different interest, travel, and product usage patterns now than you did ten years ago. I don’t see why behavioral patterns wouldn’t continue to change going forward, so as old data becomes obsolete taking care of present and future data is still worth doing to some extent even if past data might be freely available.

I think the biggest argument against headphone jack taking up space is the existence of the Samsung Ultra with the Spen. Samsung has an excuse for the Ultra not having a headphone jack with the space dedicated to the Spen. But, most phones don’t have a built in stylus, so what’s the excuse for them. Not like phones have gotten tinier. How is the spen a technological possibility, but headphone is being made to be some technological difficultly that is more difficult to overcome?

Never had those problems of the phones with headphone jacks I’ve used. Feels like an exaggeration of problems being made like an infomercial.

Not like people really can these days. Options get even narrower if people start putting in settings they need like good software support and unlockable bootloader. Despite the many options there isn’t really a phone that doesn’t have some sort of concession to it despite the increasing price points.

Yeah, one of things that stood out was how much Apple tries to push signing into account too. And compared to Linux doesn’t seem like you can use their App store without logging in on MacOS compared to Linux App Store.

I wonder if that suggests that hardware made prior to that data doesn’t suffer from the same flaws? Or if it’s just an arbitrary cut off they decided on for the affected customers they would include in the lawsuit.

The complaint is seeking class-action certification on behalf of people who bought a 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro, SanDisk Extreme, or Western Digital My Passport SSD that was “designed, manufactured, distributed, promoted and/or sold” since January 2023.

Looks like this is for people who’ve purchased the drives since January 2023. So does it not affect people from before?

I played this through the steam deck and the art style aged I credibly well and the story and voice acting was really good. Kept me hooked throughout, but I did have to rely on a walk through when it came to the puzzles.

If you don’t want to abandon an account after a single post then only thing as others have mentioned is self displicine in what you share. General topics like inquiries on games, tech, and movies are probably of no special interest.

But, stuff like I’m from Atlantis and I am of noble lineage of the lobster clan who is part of an alliance to overthrow the clan of Corrals is too much info to be giving. Basically don’t share stuff you wouldn’t be comfortable people knowing in real life.

If there is this much paranoia though I think just lurking is the way to go, and keeping only an account for asking questions that is worded as unassuming as possible. Maybe even have AI rephrase what you wanted to ask.

Writing down a short summary of what I did does sound like a good way to remember what I did in the game if I put it down for an extended time like a diary. Would be able to just read what I did to get back on track.

Enter different profile depending on the finger print or pin you use.

Have attempts left before device is erased be something you can have be misleading, so show there’s 10 attempts but really there’s only 4.

Be able to feed false permission data to apps so even without sandboxing it won’t see your contact list and mic access doesn’t actually give access to the real mic.
