With the amount of Mormon churches in Vegas I believe it.

The issue is the cellular modem built into most cars nowadays. It can vary in difficulty to disable or remove, with the added bonus of potentially taking other services that are attached to it such as Bluetooth. It fucking sucks. I don’t know more details than that.
Louis Rossman has more than one video on the topic of newer cars that are basically always connected to the internet and all of the data harvesting they do. Here’s one
Yes it comes in the form of $500 donations shell crack whatever you ask for that price. This is not a joke.
Someone needs to call Empress. This is the type of shit she lives for lmao and extremely talented, even if she’s a nutcase
(we will share your data regardless of your choice :/ )
I agree with this as well. However, Nintendo is like the Disney of lawsuits for the gaming industry. No one, and I mean NO ONE protects IP like they do.
The best time to boycott those pricks was 15 years ago. The next best time is today.
Thanks for the Streisand effect Nintendo. Hadn’t even heard of this until now. Now I’m downloading everything, and I’ll be donating to the devs if possible. And telling my friends to do the same. I will continue not giving you money for over 10 years now.
Eat shit.
Fucking stoked to see all these extremely talented devs work together.
Which makes waaaaaay more sense as everyone uses their phone for alarms now rather than a fucking clock lmao
I have tried several keyboards actually. Gboard is the least shitty, and yes I do have network perms enabled :p
Agreed on everything. There is a huge cross and or line between privacy and security, sometimes they overlap, sometimes they conflict.
I replied elsewhere to questions but wanted to share my two cents.
I’ve been nothing but impressed with GOS, from it’s installer to it’s everyday use, and really neat security quirks.
However, I’ve been in non stop mental anguish from the Google pixel 7 series hardware. I was told this wasn’t really as much as an issue with pre-6 series pixels but Jesus tap dancing Christ I have the 7 series.
Fingerprint sensor flat out does not work. It’s not a true hardware based like old versions, it’s off the main screen. Not being dramatic, I see about a 99/100 failure rate. I learned it works better in humid climates. So if you’re in a dry climate you’re SOL. But even in humidity it’s still shitty. To get around this, I have to blow on my screen with hot air before being able to use it. Yes, I’ve done every trick in the book, including reenrolling the same finger, etc.
I cannot STAND the volume keys on the same side as the lock botton. Maybe this is just preference.
I’ve encountered other annoying shit that is either AOSP based or directly from GOS, just like horrible horrible horrible password manager integration, such as autofill not working in 50 percent of all forms.
Issues with the lock screen being garbage. Ie whatever behavior it has to work for unlock does not work well. Sometimes I have to swipe up 10 plus times to get to the PIN screen.
There are many features removed that were argued as security concerns which I do understand but drive me nuts. Native keyboard lacks tons of features one such is swipe/Swype. Haven’t been able to use speech to text either.
Copy and paste is painful.
Autofill for MFA Stuff doesn’t work.
There is no face id system period, I believe stock pixel 7 series does include this support and it actually works.
I could go honestly go on and on. I wish I could go back to the ease of use of an iphone but the peace of mind of security is worth the pain to me.
I will finish by saying that out of all the Google free custom ROMs for Android, GOS has the absolute best google services implementation with it’s sandboxing feature. This still does not include support for NFC tap payments. This isn’t GOS fault though
I certainly don’t disagree, but I do believe the issues of FF are exaggerated. It’s a fav amongst the tech community (which includes infosec nerds) for a reason still, and is the baseline for the Tor project and even Mullvads wonderful browser, not to mention LibreWolf.
Yes this 💯 and as well all know the chances of a dev explicitly adding GOS support are slim to none
Everything the Gos team does it’s from a Security perspective and nothing more. There is no issue with FF, they are simply stating that of you have extreme security concerns (threat model of avoiding NK nation state actors for example) you should use the browser they spent all this effort hardening and to work specifically with GOS
NFC works fine on GOS, however, Google does not consider it a approved os so itb failure attestation, any form of NFC payment will not work because of this. It’s not because of GOS or hardware, it’s literally Google being cunts.
Just to be clear NFC works fine, you can use Yubikeys all day, and certain other NFC style tokens like a train ticket or what have you do work as well.
Very thorough response thanks. This shows me about how many things discord covers, which is a good and bad thing, makes migrating away much more difficult.
Do you have any advice for burning media to discs? I’ve plenty of media, and have Linux based media servers it sits on. Servers even have disc drives. Not sure if burn capable but just looking for general advice and best practices here
