...and then you look into what devices they are using and what they are ignoring that could have been resolved by tinkering.

My father-in-law has just had an issue where Xiaomi's camera app took up 95GB of space on his phone. Not the photos - just the camera app. Uninstalling updates for the app resolved the issue, all the space was magically back.


>What is it in your life which makes it 'impossible' to use free software, Google-free AOSP-derived Android distributions being part of this?

Play Integrity and Google's monopoly on providing "hardware attestation".


It's because the 8sg3 is a terribly botched chip, to the point where it requires comically overengineered cooling to function properly.


Yeah... and it's still a great cpu. What are consequences to the user? I failed to find a use case where it makes a sweat. It's insanely good price to value ratio.


Battery life and thermal performance.


Once again: are there any known problems that are not theoretical? I'm having 1,5 days+ with screen on time that I feel ashamed to admit, plus as I wrote before, never had it overheat despite gaming on external devices etc.


Both Gemini models answer correctly for me in Polish: https://i.imgur.com/1QbK9eU.png


I don't speak Polish. Does it respond appropriately to the kurwa bober meme?


HSTS issue, can't access.


>I've heard, but haven't confirmed, they also detect you opening developer tools using various methods and remove your auth keys from localstorage while you have it open to make account takeovers harder. (but not impossible)

No, they just keep moving it between updates. It's still there. It just gets harder to extract.


Just dropping in on a completely unrelated note to thank you for developing PortableApps - as a kid with no UAC access almost two decades ago now it helped me immensely to develop my interest in IT :-)


And video calls + screen sharing.

No alternative platform does this.


Teamspeak6 does have screen sharing.

I've been using it with my group of friends for a about a month now. Its quite solid in my opinion, uses a peer to peer system with an option to host a central server for video.


Have they finally added persisent, usable text channels as well?


I can't speak to usable because the group doesn't use it, but chat is persistent now, at least.


Money. This is all thanks to AdSense.


Confirmed. The professional term is "enshittification". Nowadays, I just use https://altpower.app


>Also to this day there is no crack to Diablo 3

Look into Blizzless :-)


Looking into Issues, reading 48 and just scrolling at beginning: "Local and LAN systems talk, but will not authenticate" / "Multiplayer Game Problem" / "cannot restore DB" / "Items stats do not reflect the game class"...etc, just to name a few.

Yeah, I really like to get frustration when I am gaming due to unsupported and canceled project /s
