Same, oddly enough the app name and icon didn’t change for me. Still K-9 in app settings too.

You know, I have obtainium but often forget it exists.

Welp my phone updated to 15 today…guess I can join the bugged syncthing-fork club.

Looks like it is fixed in the latest release, just have to wait until it gets pushes to fdroid.

That’s just the off button. But you can’t remove it because they tied it to explorer as a dependency. Off or not, explorer doesn’t work with out recall.

Turning it off is a good step 1, but what’s stopping some malicious software, such as every windows update, from turning it back on and selling our data for profit.

Sounds like a bug and the dev hasn’t caught up to the new version?

one has micro transactions that googles gets to skim from and the other doesn’t.

Thanks.

i know you said no pixel, however … Pixel + GrapheneOS works great and easy to install.

GrapheneOS takes the google spyware out of pixel. However, it does add a slightly steeper learning curve to Android. Not too bad, just a few more options to poke at.

It doesn’t cut you off from the google play store, instead sandboxing it preventing from accessing data outside its own service. This is important if you need specific apps for work, bank, etc.

For open-source apps F-Droid app store is your friend.

Unfortunately, GrapheneOS only works for pixel. There are other options you could look into such as LinageOS, but those goes beyond my personal knowlage. Specifically you want a phone that allows you unlock the bootloader.

Avoid Samsung like the plague.

Any version of Android that comes pre-installed is going to have Google Spyware and bloat. Manufactures, especially Samsung, spin up their own version of Android so then you have both Googles bloat and Samsung bloat.

You’re trusting a third party to store, protect and not loose your passwords behind a vault you never see.

Google had messed up pretty bad a few months ago. Last pass has had issues. I’m unaware of 1pass having issues, but I don’t exactly pay close attentions. https://www.keepersecurity.com/blog/2024/08/01/google-password-manager-loses-millions-of-passwords/

These days its not if something bad happens, its when and how bad.

Keeping your database private, also reduces the risk of random attacks a lot. If you’re passwords aren’t part of a big data leak, they can’t use them. Hackers are after the big payouts or the easy payouts. They’re less likely to spend a lot time trying to crack your one database, when they can move on to the next guy who keeps them all in a word doc.

If you do have reason to keep using 1pass for whatever reason, be it convince or lack of time to switch, I highly recommend at least getting your important (email, bank, etc) passwords duplicated to something like Keepass (back that file up too) so if/when 1pass ever looses your passwords, you at least have a solid starting point for recovery. Its also good way to familiarize/try out a few options with out dedicating to a full switch.

Friendly reminder: If you haven’t diversified your passwords yet, get a password manger and do it!

Its not an if someone gets hacks, its when.

I don’t know if this hack included any user and password, but if it did, they will try the combo on other sites.

KeePassXC, works great but you are responsible for your own file and syncing it between devices. (I use syncthing, but a cloud drive is a viable sync method, its all encyptyed) (iOS options limited)

Bitwarden, great if you don’t want to worry about the file and everything syncs on its own. (There is a self hosted version, if you prefer).

Avoid anything paid or tied to a major corporation, they have proven time and again they cn not be trusted to keep our data safe.

They didn’t say that…they just said not to hook whatever smart TV they get to the internet.

I do enjoy his videos. Apparently he working on the audacity overhaul too. Haven’t heard (or looked) at it a few years. Last I head was the freakout when the dared to add some basic telemetry to figure how people actually used the software.

Ugreen sells a dual adapter. I’m sure other make one too. Don’t choose, just have both.

As for flimsy, unless you get apple’s piece of crap, they are resonably durable. Headphone cables were never know for duarbilty either.

Lastly, just leave the adapter plugged into your headphones or aux cable.

I’ll agree, they are awkward and I do miss my headphone port, but the solution work around is not that deep.

Neat.

Does android auto work? Last I herd it did not…

I tried, and tried to like it. We all work differently. I like widgets on the home screen, swipe up for apps. I guess it’s the “start menu” mentality.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Having just tried it, it is not for me. The categories is there, but having the search/app drawrr on the top won’t work me, especially with these stupid large phone everyone makes. (I’m guessing theres a way to change it, but I didnt get that far)

The ultimate reason its not for me is how widgets are a scrolling thing. It’s a different idea, but I like the widgets on my home screen where I can passively see them.

If there’s a way to change that, I didnt see it. I didn’t even find a way to get rid of the big clock at the bottom.

Cool, first impressions are pretty good.

It took a minute to find, the play store has some not free thing. But I found the github page.

My bad, it is collabora

Edit: I figured out what happened My brain combined LibreOffice and Collabroa and got Calibe the fantastic eBook managar.
