Google Pay is the most underrated product in terms of privacy. Just think, you’re disclosing your financial status and consumer habits to the world’s largest advertising company.

For some reason, I thought Ubuntu touch was EOL. Probably because I tried it on a Redmi 5 and it was an unofficial 2018 build. Is the Morph browser still supported? I checked the Github page and the last changes were 3 years ago.

Enshitification in action. During 2024, Telegram declared war on rooted Android alongside WhatsApp and Viber. This means you can’t log in to your account if you have root access or if you don’t have Google services.

Android is already disabling fingerprint reader every 72 hours. So what’s the difference?

I am copying every single url from browser and paste it to Celluloid. That’s how I watch youtube on PC.

Maybe a reason not to use Snapchat?

It’s only 104 MB/s. Not enough for RAW video.

My RPi4 refused to start with a 2x2.5" hard drive, so I did some workarounds. I connected the USB 3.0 +5V pin to the GPIO and powered the RPi using a PD trigger with MINI 560 (5A DC-DC converter). In my case, a random 18W QC brick was enough.

Yt-dlp still works for me on Android, but only for h264 videos. When I try to download VP9, I get an error.
