Same here as I believe (and correct me if I’m wrong) some types of data that can be collected can be helpful to the driver devs, especially for arc but other than that everything else should be opt-in and they should ask for permission of the user
A typical example of planned obsolescence what an effective way of killing my plans to get an Asus phone as my next daily driver assuming this is true
Some important context from the article:
A Reddit user claims that the company’s developer liaison on its Telegram channel has no knowledge of any such development. “According to them, the unlock tool server is in maintenance and will resume in Q3,” the person writes; We’ve written to ASUS to clarify the situation and will update this article when and if we hear more.
But here is the thing why do I need to use a tool to connect to a server just to be allowed to unlock the bootloader? I don’t and didn’t need such a thing to unlock the bootloader of my Samsung Galaxy phone (planned obsolescence ladies and gentlemen)
I’m looking for recommendations for one or more Android apps that can help me track various biometric information throughout the day. I want to keep track of my sleep, diet, exercise, stress levels, health symptoms, blood glucose, heart rate, body temperature, and weight. I’m hoping to find a single app or a combination of...
I have been an Android user for 13 years now. After using almost every Google service possible I am going down the privacy rabbit hole lately. Gmail -> Proton Mail, Chrome -> Firefox, Keep -> Notesnook, Google Search -> Kagi, …...
Stick with Android, you have much more control over the phone even when running stock compared to iOS Besides using Adguard you can also disable the apps you don’t want (some of which are used purely for tracking) using universal Android debloater and also turn of all kinds of tracking in the system
I’d guess the simple answer may be that people don’t care/know, but for those that have ditched Facebook for whatever reason, yet still use Instagram, it’s a little surprising....
I’m no longer on FB but still use Instagram because their use cases and the type of content being shared are completely different, I don’t share anything there I don’t care about the discovery page or reels I’m only there for the few stories and posts that the people I’m following posts basically I’m using it for what it was built for in the 1st place it is great at it it no longer feels like I’m wasting my time on it and this is partially thanks to Aeroinsta blocking all the ads and trackers
I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until Adobe, and therefore my job, required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn’t the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.
There are a lot of GOP-controller legislatures in the USA pushing through so-called “child protection” laws, but there’s a toll in the form of impacting people’s rights and data privacy. Most of these bills involve requiring adults to upload a copy of their photo ID.
Yes except for the VPN as I know nothing about it but that doesn’t mean I’ll go and blindly recommend any product they release, as with every other company I will read about the product as much as necessary to make an educated decision
In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability.

Is there an app to create a custom action in the sharesheet? I want to create an action that takes a link or some text and transforms it into a new URL. For example, I highlight some text, click share, click Search with (custom search engine), and that action would append the highlighted text to the search engine URL.
Idk if such an app exists but I know that I can set a custom search engine in Firefox and then share whatever text I want with it and it will automatically search the web using the search engine I set
Like the Asus ROG phone 7 ultimate (fastest Qualcomm SoC and 16GB of RAM) and the ZTE nubia Red Magic 8S Pro+ (fastest Qualcomm SoC but OCed and 24GB of RAM)
If an OCed Nintendo switch is capable of this then I’m pretty sure it is technically possible to get cyberpunk 2077 running in a playable state
