Wtf! Same situation for me!

Is this some more Asus bullshit? I am still mad that I can't unlock it

Edit: but also what is encrytion on normal mobile network supposed to be? Are calls somehow encrypted? I thought normal network is not encrypted anyway, how even, is there a key exchange or anything?

Not quite as impressive, but I somehow fucked up something with my bootloader lately and couldn't boot anymore into my main drive. Loaded up a live usb stick and made a new ESP partition, arch-chroot and grub-install/grub-makecfg and it worked again.

Yes, I just followed a guide, but I am still fascinated this just worked on the first try.

Xmanager on mobile and spotx on desktop

I don't mind the ads on desktop tooooo much but they started playing one single ad over and over and over and over again for two week. Enough is enough

It confused me a bit when reading the Mistborn series. Wtf is aluminum and why have i never heard of that? Do they just call Aluminium differently because of story reasons? Did i miss something? Are the other metals correct?

Good books tho

Thats not true!! I used to have fun! At least 4 games in 2000+ over 12 years were definitely fun!!

You can't AND/OR combine filters. If i want to move stuff into "Gitlab trash" automatically, I need to use different rules instead of one with multiple applying conditions

No idea how and why but my dad once had a cable like that in his workshop.

Short story: we were having a party, bit drunk and wanted power for the bigger speakers, needed an extension, rummaged around and found this one. Of course didn't check the ends, plugged it in and then thought "oh what a weird male adapter there, lets take it...bzzzzt".

Have a tiny burn scar on my hand now, luckily nothing else happened. The cable got dismantled afterwards, but I still don't know why it was there in the first place, he is a pretty good handyman normally.

A stupid combination of ~~lazyness~~, a very successfull ad campaign long ago and nostalgia.

Same thing why they have taco friday (only due to texmex ads) or why they still stick to the absolutely boring bolle (rasinbreads) as main food for schoolkids.

Sorry for the rant, i just hate the food "culture" here..

Edit: ok lazyness is an unbased accusation, scratch that..

What they call pizza here is more like frozen cardboard. No, it's really "not that good" at all

[–] ximtor@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

it's a US only problem.

Absolutely not. There more than enough lobbying and corruption in our all-so-democratic EU, just most of the population denying it based on "look how much worse the US is"

Hi!

I have a light degoogled Zenfone, using Aurora Store and F-Droid. Recently my company moved offices and the new building requires an app to unlock the door, no alternatives -_-

The problem is, I can't sign in to the app due to an "Integrity API Error (-2)" - PLAY_STORE_NOT_FOUND. I don't work from the office very often so its not suuuper critical, but still quite annoying to always ask someone to let me into the building.. the apps support also said "sorry you gotta install the official store".

Does anyone know if I can resolve this somehow without installing the official playstore? I have not made any progress the last couple times I tried to find a solution..

Also annoying that Asus discontinued their bootloader unlock, so I am not even too sure about fully rooting my phone. Though, I could/should honestly look into that again, but have not managed yet..
