trevor, in FUTO Keyboard app

FYI: this is another FUTO app that uses their proprietary “FTL” license, so it’s not open source.

Umbrias,

This license while not the most permitting does not appear to hide the code behind any proprietary shielding though.

Asudox, in Tap to Pay on GrapheneOS
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Afaik some banks offer tap to pay in their own banking apps. My banking app used to do that until they fully switched to Google Pay and stopped letting the users use the builtin tap to pay functionality.

Take a bank card with an NFC chip and put it inside your phone case.

yoz,

Lol I paid extra $60 for NFC. Only if I knew this trick I could have used that money to buy inflatable sex doll.

Hey that’s a great reason for many to move to Firefox, even for normal users

possiblylinux127,

I wish it had a cleaner UI

@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve never had too many issues with it. It’s not bad imo

smileyhead,

cleaner UI

It’s a browser, with a tab bar and hamburger menu to access settings. A plain, boring, 2024 design web browser.

For those looking to move beyond Chrome, there are alternatives that come pre-installed with uBlock Origin and are considered better than Firefox:

This project is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom.

LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM.

The Mullvad Browser is developed – in collaboration between Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project – to minimize tracking and fingerprinting. It is designed to be used with a trustworthy VPN instead of the Tor Network. It does not require the use of Mullvad’s VPN.

Both have privacy and security enhancements that significantly affect performance and slightly convenience. Regular Firefox can be a better option for some of them. But the browsers you listed are still great

sqgl, in Julian Assange: WikiLeaks founder wins U.S. extradition appeal

Misleading title. He did not win the appeal.

He won the opportunity to have an appeal hearing.

It is last week’s news anyhow.

Etterra, in New ASUS firmware now requires a user to be 16y or older and will restrict features and even security upgrades if you opt out

Because nobody has ever lied on one of these lol. Still criminally stupid of ASUS though.

If I bought one of their routers and this came up, I would simply be returning it and giving the person at the counter a printout as to why. Sorry, but this router is not “suitable for purpose”. Look up that phrase and “merchantability”.

I would rather not have less options in this world and force companies not to be dicks. I guess to each their own. My router is also 2y old so no returns available.

@makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml avatar

Agree. Straight back for refund. In Australia we can legally choose the manufacturer, or the retailer. I’d go straight to Asus, to give them the message directly.

For the downvoters, in the US:

findlaw.com/…/what-is-the-warranty-of-merchantabi…

The implied warranty of merchantability guarantees that a product sold to you will work for its intended purposes. In other words, it means you can expect a toaster to toast your bread. If it doesn’t, you have legal protection against losing money on a product that doesn’t work.

If you bought the router expecting it to work as advertised, you may make a claim if it doesn’t. They would have to spell out ahead of time what the limitations and requirements are in order to avoid trouble.

ultratiem,
@ultratiem@lemmy.ca avatar

You have no claim. The update does not disable the router and even if you opt out, the router itself still functions, except with a few additional features missing. Telemetry and data collection does not void a warranty. There is no claim here.

DevCat,
@DevCat@lemmy.world avatar

That would be for the legal system to decide. If you purchased it for a specific advertised feature, and that feature was disabled unless unspoken terms were agreed to, you would have a case.

someguy3, in Julian Assange: WikiLeaks founder wins U.S. extradition appeal

I vote for changing the title to make it clearer that he won the right. Change to "…wins [right to appeal] … "

dyathinkhesaurus, in Julian Assange: WikiLeaks founder wins U.S. extradition appeal

Misleading headline.

They’re just fucking with him. Giving him some hope, then they’ll take it away again 😔

electricprism, in New ASUS firmware now requires a user to be 16y or older and will restrict features and even security upgrades if you opt out

Okay ASUS is out. Recommendations?

PseudorandomNoise, in Julian Assange: WikiLeaks founder wins U.S. extradition appeal
@PseudorandomNoise@lemmy.world avatar

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange won the right to challenge a British court’s decision to extradite him to the U.S. to face espionage charges

Emphasis mine, since the headline is poorly worded. He didn’t win an appeal, the court agreed that he can appeal. He still could be shipped off to the US and then eventually <blacksite prison name not found>.

PC_Fluesterer, in Raivo wiped all of my TOTP codes

@Charger8232
So what? You use and worry about , ?
Looks like a cognitive dissonance.

scottmeme, in New ASUS firmware now requires a user to be 16y or older and will restrict features and even security upgrades if you opt out

Is Asus just asking to have a shitload of lawsuits?

ultratiem,
@ultratiem@lemmy.ca avatar

It doesn’t seem like they give a shit. This is the company that strong armed NexusGaming with their repairs and have scammed a slew of people thru their warranty system.

If you search for “ASUS repair scam” they have a sorted history of this kind of douchery.
