Lol, who wants these anyways. One more reason not to use google play services. (Though I have google play services on this phone.)

Automatic AI-powered screen lock for when your phone is snatched.

Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away. If a common motion associated with theft is detected, your phone screen quickly locks – which helps keep thieves from easily accessing your data.

One good thing you could try is use this app:

Find My Device

Yes! I had one, from 2016 till 2020. Ulefone vienna (not a rugged phone).

If you like modding like me, then it’s probably not a good idea, as they usually have little community support and the mediatek chipset contributes to this even more.

Back then, I think it did probably had some kind of a malware, but with root I removed it (I could also do it with adb commands if I knew back then).

If you want a hardened phone and for some reason you cant find a proper case to protect your device, then such phones may be suitable, otherwise I’d look somewhere else.

I just realized that this instance doesnt show downvotes seperately… Probably not the best idea to have privacy guides on an instance where you cant easily see if something may be wrong…

video editing: davinci

Btw, there’s olive editor 0.2. It’s kinda unstable, but much better interface than davinci. Plus, it’s open source.

Well, can’t argue much with that. It’s a shame it crashes often… I might check kdenlive some time though.

Simple, include sd cards on phones and use usb 3.0 or higher…

(I say that as I am about to wipe my device with ~200gb data and then import them back again through wifi hotspot because wired transfer is slower than wireless and it doesnt have an sd card slot…)

I have usb 2.0 though, so it’s gonna be slow ~no matter what😭. I get ~15MB/s on average and it can reach ~40MB/s with wifi hotspot, while usb goes at about ~6MB/s on average and can reach about 30MB/s.

The issue are the small files. Wifi handles them much quicker. Especially listing folders with thousands of files. Opening my camera directory (~8.500 files) with wifi takes about 5seconds, while with usb it takes about ~1-2minutes…

About nas, I would too like to have one and automatically backup everything there. I might build one some time.

I’m transfering data from my phone to an extrernal hard drive which I connect to my laptop. To do the syncing a bit more automated, I’ve written some WinSCP scripts. I create a local hostpot with my phone, I connect my pc to it and then I move files. (My phone has a dual wifi antenna which allows to have both the hotspot on and connect to my wifi, so I can post this comment without using data.)

The data I transfer are ~all sorts of types; Media files (either from my camera folder or various other folders), text or similar files (I also keep logs of the files on my device to help me restore stuff), encrypted files, backups of apps+data/phone settings/contacts/sms/calls etc. At the moment of writing this I’m transfering about 30-40gb to my pc as I slowly prepare myself for the factory reset.

My workflow is far from automated, but I’ve made a lot of progress since last year with the help of the scripts. It’s sad though, because backing up and restoring everything now takes about 9hours, while with an sd card I could reduce it to something like half an hour… My next phone will probably be fairphone 6 or 7 in 2028 (now I have a xiaomi mi 10 running custom roms) if it has an sd card slot.

I have about 25gb free out of the 1tb my laptop has, sooo not a good idea, plus it adds complexity. Well, I’ll just improve my scripts and try to keep things tidied up so that it becomes easier. (Lol, now I’m post factory reset and I’ve started importing stuff back to the phone. Till tommorow noon everything may be set up.) Tnx for your interest!

As a side note, I’ve realized that transfering files from the phone to the laptop (instead straight to the external hard drive) makes the process a lot faster, compared to moving them to the drive directly, but still, I prefer the wireless transfer as I can sync folders easier and it’s faster.

Χρονια σας πολλα ρε παιδια!🎊🎉

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I’m sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I’m sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I’m sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it’s been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one...

I dont like autocorrect both for privacy reasons (though there might be open source ones) and for accuracy reasons. I dont want something else to write for me what it thinks I want to say. (Hence I’m using a customized keyboard in florisboard beta which looks almost the same as gboard.😌)

Just downloaded it yesterday, along with the launcher!

Bit of a shame that it doesn’t support older saves…

My laptop has! (I ~don’t use a desktop)

  • Poets of the fall - Carnival of rust
  • Viagra boys - Punk rock loser
  • Pierce the veil - King for a day (or check March into water)

I’d recomment checking listen brainz’ tools, like this one listenbrainz.org/explore/music-neighborhood/ which shows relative artists. Or make an account there (beware; it publicly shows your listents with an accuracy of a minute, not just a day). It nice becase you can also find people with similar tastes.

Have fun exploring!

Unrelated to the topic:

Is the aim of CC “…” text at the botton to prevent ai from using your comments or something? (I’m trying to understand.)

BlastboomStrice,

I see, I see, tnx

Aww, for me it almost always happens the reverse.

Because that’s what matters the most…

I think you said it rather well. I was formulating 2 mid-long paragraphs in my head as an answer, but I didnt want to spend that much time actually writing them. Tnx for saving me some time!

And it works on fennec (firefox from fdroid)

What about making the extention so that it plays audiofiles of your choice? (Probably not the best place to suggest this, but anyways.)

I highly suggest this one, a friend of mine has read it and she was showing me parts of the book. It’s in my “to read” list.

I have a mi 10 running xiaomi.eu (hyperOS/android 13) and I’m plannijg to keep it ~as much as I can, till about 2028. ~Hopefully there’ll be a Fairphone 7 available till then to buy.

Unlock the bootloader first, install a custom rom and root it. Xiaomi.eu may have a hyperOS rom btw.
