New review time, as I test out the highly affordable Aspera Nitro 2. The pitch is that it can replace older 3G-only phones... but is it worth catching?

Replay Crew! We had a fun romp through tech headlines this week! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/44j
Jack Dorsey is no longer on the board of BlueSky. We're wrapping up the closing arguments in Google's anti-trust case. The Rabbit R1 is an app. Sony's marketing materials for the next XPERIA leak.

And we should probably chat about this next iPad thing-y...

Mit der Fritz!Box VPN & VOIP zusammen unterwegs nutzen

Die Fritz!box von AVM ist weit verbreitet und bietet in der Grundausstattung VPN und VOIP-Telefonie. Mit ein paar Einstellungen kann ich mein Smartphone damit einbinden.

USA sends mobile phone usage data to , which T-Mobile acquired in 2019.
T-Mobile assigns a unique ad ID to your cellphone and gathers app usage data.
To opt out and remove all data of you, there's an app - "magenta advertisements platform".

For me it's horrible that they do so without telling and that the app is somewhere hidden - no one would come up with that name!

[] I was looking for a way to sandbox a proprietary app on Android/LineageOS, and prevent it from running when I'm not actively using it. I found this one: Shelter https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/ It abuses Work Profiles to stash the designated apps and run them only when desired. Nice when is not an option

Mission à venir :
Upgrade d'une #Samsung #Galaxy #Tab3 bloquée sous #Android 4.4 #KitKat vers #Lineage (Android 7.0 Nougat) pour offrîr plusieurs années d'utilisation d'une tablette "flambant neuve".

Des ressources intéressantes à partager ?
A priori j'ai déjà trouvé via mon frère puis via XDA le recovery et le Lineage (patch de sécurité 02/2024, pas si mal pour une antiquité !)

@niavy XDA regorge de ressources pour flasher des ROM customs, et comme ta tablette est « vieille » il y a sûrement les recovery, bootloaders et ROM qui vont bien.

Sur Lemmy il y a un espace LineageOS qui pourrait aider : https://lemmy.ml/c/lineageos

J’ai aussi un vieil article de blog : https://write.as/pylapp/lineageos-a-step-by-step-guide

Bref pour revaloriser ses appareils on a des ressources, mais parfois selon les modèles les blobs manquent 🤨

Merci. Avec mes liens et ça ça devrait le faire.
Par contre... Une idée sur comment déverrouillage le bootloader ? Je galère un peu.

Reboot en recovery (Power + Vol-) et adb oem unlock 🤔 ?

Is a postmarketOS GSI image a thing? Would be interested in reading or hearing from devs if such a thing would be possible/doable. This would open up @postmarketOS to a lot more Android devices 🤔

Unrecht hat Microsoft sicherlich nicht und ein Hinweis auf Löcken machen Sinn. Doch bei denen gehe ich mal von einer Ablenkung ihren eigenen Sicherheitschwächen aus.

Just testing Moshidon as my new mobile client. Looks good so far, not too far off the official app but with some added features and a slick Material You interface.

I forgot to post about this yesterday, though not surprising due to how extremely busy work has been with the Play Store release of Nova 8.

I applied for the Vivaldi Sopranos program and it looks like I've been accepted. I'll have some accounts setup on Monday for me so I'll be able to dive in head first and see what all is going on.

That means I'm now an Ambassador and a Soprano for @Vivaldi which is pretty exciting!

Sonos is considered a recommended speaker brand in the blind community.

Both because many blind people are audiophiles, and because their app is screen reader accessible.

However, Sonos is about to release a new version of their app and at the moment it looks like it will be practically unusable for the blind.

Screen reader users that will not prevent their devices from updating will lose access to the expensive hardware they have purchased.

A few years ago I was looking for an easy way to SCP files to a remote location on , couldn't find one, so ended up writing a ShareIntent to be able to SCP content from every Android App.

I still use it every day, but is there an existing app that will do this so I don't have to maintain it?
