Hello, this is the IRS. You are delinquent $10,000. This is payable with iTunes gift cards. If you do not comply, straight to jail.

Great! ๐Ÿ‘

That's fair. Privacy and security generally come at some cost of convenience. Everyone has their own personal balance.

Not currently. It will require Google to'allow' tap-to-pay on Graphene. Other NFC functions work fine.

For my use, it's not a big deal. Tapping my card is easy enough

Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode. It's a setting that relaxes this particular security enhancement for a given app.

It's worth knowing that NFC payments do not work with Graphene currently.

While this tends to be true, the vast majority of the banking app incompatibilities are overcome with a simple app-specific toggle.

Hell yeah fuck yeah. Thank you, Canada!

I love it when they serve 2 per taco. The filing is always more than enough for 1, so I split it across the extra tortilla. Double tacos FTW!

I'd lean toward the way you have it now. I like having the owner profile as my daily driver. Any app that I have doubts about gets its own profile.

If you haven't already, check out the Graphene forum and search for profiles. There have been lots of discussions about this, and you'll find some good examples for various privacy/security needs.

I've had the opposite experience. I'm on a Pixel 8 running Graphene. So far today (8.5 hours since last charge), I'm at 87%. The screen time meter says 90 minutes of screen time since last charge. I've been running Bluetooth for about 4 hours, and WiFi full time.

I'd typically be under 60% at this point when I was on stock Android.

You mean the AI that was trained on Reddit shitposts will be helping advance science? The AI that recommended putting glue on pizza, and that you won't fall off a cliff if you just keep waking?

What could go wrong?

I have to ask... Are you actually happy with Kodi? Did you find a way to make it more usable?

I set it up on a RPi, got Netflix and Amazon working on it, and I really, REALLY wanted to like it...

But I just can't. The interface is awful. The sorting is nonsensical. You have to manually enable thumbnails. You can change it, but you have to change it for every interface. And then it doesn't remember, so you have to go through all that again the next time you use it.

Sorry if I sound whiny, but I'd love to know if you got it to be more usable than I could.
