A ball? 2 things internet has thought me…

1. Never put a finger on the trigger if you’re not going to kill someone
2. Never put anything without a solid base in your rectum.

I know nothing about the game, but came here to see who’s offended by it, and by how much. Was not disapointed.

the only way you can feel halfway safe and secure is by spending more money

That’s not something the Graphene devs could change. The firmware on the existing truckload of old hardware is simply outdated and insecure. To fix that would require somebody to write completely new firmware for those devices. You’re free to take the job. Help the community, and the environment, by reviving all those old devices. Free of charge, or course ;)

Your bank does not need to use the app trackers to spy on you. They already know everything important there is about you.

What the banks are worried about is fraud. Fraud costs them money. But the thing is, the app development cycles are long and complicated, and instead of a pragmatic approach, they just bolt on more and more obscure non deterministic authentication schemes and heuristic checks. That’s why the app wants to know things like your location and access to the list of other installed apps, and simple username and password are not enough to let you through anymore.

The device attestation for them is probably just another checkbox to tick on the list of “at least we tried”. Regardles of whether it’s actually relevant for security. As long as it saves them more money that it costs them, there’s no reason to not enable it.

Finally! It was too complicated finding a shady privider who allows number spoofing for outgoing calls. It’s about time all the phones had this feature natively.

It’s far from ugly.

If I’m thankful for one thing in the IT sphere, it’s the end of the netbook era. Those machines should never have been made in the first place.

While the form factor was great in theory, the performance was lacking, and the cooling was inadequate.

Isn’t this whole project just a showcase for their unique backend? They must be really insecure about it to ban any competition in the license.

So… is it an obsession to want to be at least <100? Asking for myself. Send help :D

I get consistently better results on steamdeck vs PC due to lower controller latency.

Before you start establishing a working group to assess the impact of creating a commitee to judge the effect of switching to replacable cells, what if…

What if the companies just packed a few universal rechargable cells with their product? I meam the charging circuit is already a part of the design.

So the google can spy on anyone’s phone calls without a consent (google screening), but if you want to record your own phone calls, there needs to be a mandatory warning. Makes total sense :D

edit: but at least this enables automatic call recording, not just a button, plus automatic deletion of old recordings. This is actually pretty useful.

That sounds like a fancy speak for a Trusted Platform Module. Isn’t some kind of TPM mandatory to obtain a google certification for a new device?

The dawn of the 4G will forever be remembered as the time our civilization forgot how to make phones that can make phone calls. I feel embarrassed every time I randomly think about VoLTE.

you’re not going to have much luck convincing anyone.

Oh boy, how I wish you were right.

No way, I thought the thrill of browsing sketchy appstores to find the other half of the ACR phone was part of the fun.

For those out of the loop - ACR phone is a dialer app that does call recording. It’s distributed through the play store, but without the call recording part, because that would be against the ToS. Once installed, it instructs you to go find the other app that serves as an accessibility module with access to the microphone. And by that I mean ONLY your microphone. The other side of the call is recorded only as an echo of the speaker caught by your own mic.

You should apply for a marketing position in broadcom. The people responsible for the vmware software suite just love to do stunts like this.

I record all my phone calls. It allows me to pretend not to forget all the names, dates, places and other important details we just talked about with the other person as soon as the call ends.
