In what world would enhancing a product warrant a cease and desist, lol

I have a 3.5mm jack in my phone and I haven’t used it once for the past two or three years I have used this device. I switched to a pair of tws Bluetooth earbuds in 2019 (around, but definitely pre-covid) and have used the same pair since. Everyone who claims Bluetooth earphones are unrecyclable electric garbage probably have never gotten a proper pair (which doesn’t have to be expensive whatsoever) or any at all

If I were to only use legal sources of media, then I would stick with either Apple TV or HBO Max (yeah it’s still called that where I live). Otherwise I recommend Cloudstream for Android TV

Hmm, why need dark mode in VLC? You launch a video file and watch it full screen anyway. Also, VLC has themes and last I checked there were couple of them which were sufficiently dark

noone ever does – Microsoft, Google and Facebook must be faking their reports on how effective their advertisement platforms are in order to boost their sales. the sales of ads, not the advertised products

Better than DDG or Bing, but worse than Google

But now they are photo realistic

It’s different in Poland, because we don’t normally use credit or debit cards for online purchases — we use Blik, which is a proprietary inter-bank payment system based on one-time tokens which are only valid for 2 minutes. You don’t give your card information to Amazon or wherever you make a purchase (also compatible with regular contactless card terminals in physical locations) to charge you themselves however much they feel like, but rather provide a one-time code, confirm the transaction on your phone and you’re charged immediately.

EDIT: oh and also it supports contactless payments via NFC on rooted phones so we got a workaround to Google messing with Gpay 8)

Diacritics such as the mentioned by the person you’re replying to are usually not implemented hardware-wise but rather require the OS to correctly understand key combinations. So you can’t expect the system to simply interpret certain rare keycodes, because there are none.

While some languages may use special hardware keyboard with special physical keys for their characters, such as Swedish with their äåö on the right, other will use international qwerty with special characters implemented as combos, such as Polish with its ąśżźćńłó, which are typed using AltGr

They did say Apple fanboys

No, iMessage is not compatible with RCS just yet. Messaging between an iPhone and Android is still SMS

Within two weeks after purchase and under two hours of runtime, but also note that proprietary installer some games and Steam software use (non Steam built-in one) does count towards runtime as well

Probably gatekeeping them normies

Have you got Magisk or KSU?

For now I can confirm KSU root does not trigger this RCS block

Nonironically yes

On srock android it’s a vertical swipe up along the screen border

I use Antennapod on Android, it syncs with Gpodder (which requires self hosting on Nextcloud) and then there’s plenty of compatible clients over on desktop

Was Google Pay US-exclusive?

Wait, Google Pay still exists? Wasn’t it rebranded to Wallet?
