They added that a while ago for all users on Android 12 and up

Couldn’t you just reinstall windows with an older ISO to bypass this? That’s what I already do at work anytime I need to setup a new machine, gets rid of the manufacturer supplied programs bloatware. Plus Rufus has an option for triggering the bypass command automatically.

This was in the related articles: https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/printers/brother-denies-firmware-blocks-third-party-toner-and-ink-use

And I believe them. The reddit post in Rossman’s video was 3 years old. I have personally installed and updated 5 Brother printers in the last year and they all still run on 3rd-party toner.

Yeah, really depends on what kind of music you listen to. I guess I’m lucky in that regard, since most artists I listen to have their music on BC ^^

If you really need to download the music on your phone you could use the website. I just organise everything on my PC then copy the files over… But I agree that it would be nice to have DRM free downloads on the app

I feel I should mention Bandcamp, which gives 70% of a sale directly to the artist. In the music world that’s a lot. All DRM free and in most audio formats you could want. My process when buying music is usually: bandcamp > qobuz (or similar) > if all else fails… use other means. I’ll also skip step one and two depending on the artist :p

Guaguin is a sudoku-like puzzle game that I enjoy a ton. Instead of the usual 9-block square, this has random shapes with a number and a math operator on them. The goal is to have no repeating digits on rows/columns, and each block needs its mathematical problem to be solved. For example a block labeled 20x needs to filled so that all the numbers inside of it multiply to 20.

Ah, I misunderstood then, I thought the linux option still had a win key on it and that it was different in some other way. Thanks for clarifying

The linux keyboard has a Windows key?? What’s special about it then, that makes it a linux keyboard and not a windows one?

I’ll echo the rest of the comments and say Debian with docker. I use podman myself but the setup should be similar enough. I used the official Jellyfin guide from their wiki and got everything working in a day, including transcoding.

They use XDG Desktop Portal, which makes video and audio capture system level instead of application level to enhance security. When a program wants to record your screen you get a pop up to choose which screen/window to share. After that the app can only see that window or screen.

Personally I’d love to see the CEO thrown out. Maybe then Tumblr will benefit as well.

Here is a list of most banking apps and whether they work or not. I’ve been using GrapheneOS for a while and haven’t encountered major problems. Only thing I wish I knew beforehand is that multi-user profiles are more cumbersome than what most people say.

What case is that? I was thinking of getting the Pixel 8 and was looking for a case like you describe but didn’t find any

We get OEM Samsung batteries. Not for Oneplus last time I checked. The more popular the brand the higher the likelihood for original parts.

I work at a phone repair shop (not Samsung certified), our suppliers sell us new genuine batteries. So maybe ask around at one near you. Or get one from ifixit, I replaced my Oneplus 6’s battery with their aftermarket one and it works great.

I’ve used ncmpcpp and more recently Cantata to replace foobar, not as much customization but it gets a lot of stuff right for me.

Wouldn’t say it’s impossible. I’ve done it pretty often at work (tech support) and at home with sim eject tools, pointy tweezers, knitting needles etc. 5 minutes of patience and the port is like new. Just need to avoid the centre where the contacts are.

F-Droid probably won’t accept any builds with adware/tracking in them, so probably we’ll just stay on an old version until a fork or alternative comes along. There’s also a toggle on my preferred F-Droid manager app (droid-ify) to ignore new versions
