Extremely disappointing outcome. IMO the driver should have faced the full force of the law, especially considering how this incident resulted in a loss of life and such severe trauma and injury to the poor kids involved.

A 5 year driving prohibition is just a slap on the wrist, for literal manslaughter - involuntary or not

Plain AOSP doesn't include a dialer/phone app, camera app, or clock app anymore AFAIK, so for me i'd consider base to be AOSP+GApps

Hope it sees many more years to come!

I was interested in a steel but they're hard to come across where I am - most likely going to go with a Bangle.js instead for the always-on screen, long battery life and programmability

AFAIK on Windows the physical disk containing the partition needs to be marked offline in Disk Management, and the disk or a partition given exclusively to VirtualBox running as administrator, otherwise access is limited to read-only

I would suggest checking some other sources as well, just in case this has changed over the years. If you do successfully pass the physical partition into VirtualBox read-write, you might need to set up a virtual disk with grub to boot into your physical Linux partition

Platforms like Floatplane, Nebula, Patreon etc make it so easy to support creators outside of YouTube, while also giving creators a larger share of income compared to Adsense.

There's YouTube Premium... but I don't think I'm alone in not wanting to give Google a single cent of my hard earned cash

Windows 7 being discontinued.

I migrated my HTPC to Linux several years ago, and since then just transitioned more and more of my machines over.

My desktop is the only machine left running Windows at this point due to there being no Freetrack implementation on Linux for sim games

I'm rooted to...

• backup & restore my apps as I please (as well as scheduled backups to my SD card)
• BMS control to keep my battery in good health
• Automation app for automating stuff (like Tasker)
• revoking typically unrevokable permissions from system and Google apps
• To actually feel like I own my device.

If I wanted a heavily curated (and somewhat locked down) experience, I'd be in the Apple ecosystem - don't know why Google thinks it's a great idea to force this ideology onto practically all Android users...

Similar situation with that additional warning for sideloading apps - there's already two warnings and Play Protect typically uninstalls these apps anyway, without the user's consent - in one case deleting KDE Connect from users' devices if installed with F-Droid

Uhh I definitely went off on a tangent, oops.

Looking forward to this. I don't run a custom ROM myself but I am rooted, primarily to revoke permissions from Google apps and to back up my OS and app data as I desire.

However I'd much prefer to be able to run something like GrapheneOS on a Pixel if it meant I could run apps that are picky about Safetynet/Play Integrity, such as banking apps and the like

not only is this community not walkable, it is also hostile to pedestrians and children.

The ones with the pedestrian path painted in the road are even worse I think, almost like the designers actively decided not to build a pedestrian path there

In my city? Really great, since people ride a fair bit here and there's a lot of protected and off-road routes that are correctly labelled. I have my settings set to choose a slightly longer route, instead of just the fastest. If I remember correctly, there were also settings for whether on/off road directions are preferred. I'm pretty much kept on bike paths all the time

I don't use navigation in the areas with cobblestone paths here though so can't comment on that.

For the bike map view I've enabled the clock widget, speed widget, and track recorder widget, as well as a shortcut to quickly toggle it on. I set it up about 2 years ago when my bicycle computer was stolen, haven't changed anything since.

Download it from F-Droid store instead, the Play Store option only exists for funding AFAIK

The first thing I did after purchasing an MX Master a few years ago was block the update server, after realising it downloads update binaries over plain HTTP and tries to automatically run them on boot 🤡

Very nice mouse tbh, just such a shame the company and their software is toilet water
