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
Thanks for sharing, provided some insight into how YT is doing this.
Seems very easy to bypass if they're just swapping in new TS HLS/DASH segments, the harder part will be identifying what segments are part of the video and what segments are ads sliced in
The community is ridiculously fast at submitting segments IME, especially on tech-oriented channels. Tubular even allows you to submit segments right from within the app which is really handy.
I feel the benefits of automatically detecting them (AI or otherwise) would be easier to realize at a larger scale - sounds really interesting though. Training such a thing probably wouldn't be too difficult seeing as we have a massive library of timestamps in Sponsorblock's database
They cover the mouse in soft touch plastic that turns to glue in 5 years
This is my pet peeve of modern electronics in general. Even my $3000 work-supplied Dell laptop is coated in this soft touch material that will inevitably turn into a gooey mess after a few years 🤦♂️
Also own a second-hand tablet computer that feels disgusting and sticky to hold because the soft touch coating has degraded so badly on it 😭
I use the Tubular fork as well, love it, however the dev has life things that slow down how fast fixes get merged in ☹️ in the meantime I either watch Nebula (or use Freetube on my HTPC as a backup, they tend to publish a fixed build ridiculously fast).
My fav Grayjay feature has to be "polycentric" comments on Nebula videos, pretty cool to discuss with other Nebula subscribers seeing as the official app has no social features
This is a recent thing caused by the changes YT has been making, at the moment we've been given multiple quick fixes while the community continues to investigate AFAIK
When the YT apps stopped working a few days ago, I just continued watching on Nebula until the apps were fixed. Only went back onto YT to read discussions in video comments
I'm rooted to...
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.
